Philips HomeRun 5000 Series XU5000 specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Suction and brushes 3 facts
- Suction power
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 10,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Dirt detection
A sensor notices where more dirt lies, at the doormat for example, and the robot cleans that patch longer or a second time.
- no
Mopping 3 facts
- Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- spinning pads
- Mop lift on carpet
How far the robot lifts the mop when it drives onto a carpet. From about 10 mm a medium pile stays dry.
- no
- Water tank in the robot
How much clean water the robot carries. It sets how long it mops before a refill, which a dock does by itself.
- 270 ml
Dock 1 fact
- Washes the mop
The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.
- no
Navigation and obstacles 3 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.
- LiDAR turret
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 20 mm
- Multi-floor maps
How many floor plans the robot keeps. With more than one it knows which floor it is on when you carry it up or down the stairs.
- 5
Robot 4 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 9.8 cm
- Robot weight
What the robot weighs. It counts most if you carry it up a staircase every day.
- 3.8 kg
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with an auto-empty dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 260 ml
- Noise
The noise in decibels, in the setting its source names: makers mostly give the standard setting, shops often the highest. 65 dB is like a vacuum at half power, 55 dB like a conversation.
- 66 dB
Battery 4 facts
- Battery capacity
The capacity of the battery. It hints at the runtime, but how much the robot draws counts just as much.
- 4,800 mAh
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.
- 200 min
- Charging time
How long an empty battery takes to charge fully in the dock.
- 6 h
- Battery you can replace yourself
You can change the battery yourself when it wears out, so the robot does not have to go for repair or be replaced.
- yes
Smart features and warranty 3 facts
- Voice assistants
Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
- Alexa, Google Assistant
- Warranty
The warranty the maker gives in Germany. Consumer law here stands apart from it and can last longer.
- 2 years
- Wi-Fi band
Which Wi-Fi the robot connects to. Many robots only use 2.4 GHz, so check that your router still broadcasts it.
- 2.4 and 5 GHz
