Facts as the maker states them. A dash means the maker does not name it. Each model’s page gives the source of every fact. Noise is the maker’s own figure, so we do not judge it, and a customer rating only counts from 20 reviews. * Foreign shop: delivery cost and VAT to the Netherlands estimated.

Bosch Built-in Robot BCRI3BX1 specifications

The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.

Robot height8.4 cm

Climbs thresholds up to20 mm

Mop lift on carpet9 mm

Suction power20,000 Pa

Wash temperature75 °C

Consumables: a 2 l dust bag in the station.

Dimensionsrobot and dock

From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 9 cm of clearance or more.

Suction and brushes 2 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.: 20,000 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

Mopping 4 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.: 9 mm
Mop extends to the edges The pad slides out along a wall or a kickboard, so the last few centimetres are mopped as well.: yes
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.: 55 ml

Dock 10 facts

Empties the dust bin The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.: yes
Bagless The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.: no
Dust bag capacity How much the dust bag in the dock holds.: 2 l
Washes the mop The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.: yes
Wash temperature How hot the dock washes the mop. Above 60 °C grease comes off, which is what keeps a mop from smelling.: 75 °C
Dries the mop The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.: yes
Hot-air drying Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.: yes
Dispenses detergent The dock mixes detergent into the water itself, from its own bottle.: yes
Plumbing hookup The dock can be connected to the tap and the drain, so you never fill or empty a tank. It does need a connection nearby.: yes
Dock cleans its own wash tray The dock rinses the tray where the mop is washed by itself, so dirt and smell do not build up there and you scrub it less often.: yes

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
Obstacle avoidance How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.: 3D sensor (structured light)
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

Robot 3 facts

Robot height How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.: 8.4 cm
Robot diameter How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.: 35.3 cm
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.: 300 ml
