Miele is a German company that has been in the production of high end household appliances for over 100 years. They have established themselves in North America about 25 years ago and have been producing vacuum cleaners since 1927. Since then they have manufactured products with high power, functionality and ergonomics. They now have released their first robot vacuum, the Scout RX1, with a unique and new navigation system.
Why wait so long before releasing their first of probably more to come robot vacuum cleaner? Eduard Sailer, board member responsible for technical affairs said the first models to appear on the market reflected the state of the art technology at that time and were anything but satisfactory for what general population should expect of their products. They have the philosophy Immer Besser – Better and Better or Forever Better. Today they can offer what people expect of high end technology and be confident to establish themselves in the market.
Here we will unbox a Scout RX1 and show you what to expect from Miele.

The Miele’s navigation system combines a gyro sensor which measures rotation and changes in direction with an integrated digital integrated camera which scans the ceiling several times per minute. This gives the robot the ability to clean methodically, going in straight lines track per track.

The RX1 has a great cleaning system, no worries for this round robot to reach the corners because it has a side brush on both sides spinning towards the inside of the robot to send dust and debris to the main brush.

In addition to the conventional bumper sensors, the Scout has 7 added IR sensors that serve for anti-collision to help limit touches to your furniture. Over the bumper there is a non-marring rubber ensuring no damage or scuffs.

The Scout offers various cleaning modes, the auto mode which cleans all rooms and returns to base, the corner mode repeats the auto mode then cleans all the corners of the house and returns to base. The spot mode cleans a 6 square foot area. Turbo mode will clean 50% faster than the auto mode by making bigger gaps between cleaning tracks then it will return to base.
It is possible to install magnetic strips to prevent the robot from going to unwanted areas. The remote control included, will allow you to start all different modes from distance and to conveniently direct the Scout.
