Bosch Built-in Robot BCRI3BX1 specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the store we read it from.
Consumables: a 2 l dust bag in the station.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 3.4 in 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 0.4 in (10 mm) a medium pile stays dry.
- 0.4 in (9 mm)
- Mop extends to the edges
The pad slides out along a wall or a baseboard, so the last few inches 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 140 °F (60 °C) grease comes off, which is what keeps a mop from smelling.
- 167 °F (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 recognizes 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.
- 0.8 in (20 mm)
Robot 3 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 3.3 in (8.4 cm)
- Robot diameter
How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.
- 13.9 in (35.3 cm)
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with a self-emptying dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 300 ml
Battery 1 fact
- Battery capacity
The capacity of the battery. It hints at the runtime, but how much the robot draws counts just as much.
- 5,700 mAh
Smart features and warranty 1 fact
- Voice assistants
Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
- Alexa
