Robot mop RCF 3

The RCF 3 mops hard floors completely autonomously and delivers excellent results thanks to FC roller technology. Equipped with carpet detection, it is ready for use in any household.

Feature & Benefits

FC roller technology

The RCF 3 robotic mop works with Kärcher's proven roller technology, which ensures particularly thorough wet cleaning of hard floors. Light, dry dirt, e.g. dust fluff, small crumbs or road dirt, is picked up directly during wet mopping and collected with the used wiping water in the dirty water tank. The roller technology with continuous cleaning of the roller and the 2-tank system ensure optimum results even on larger areas, as you always work with a clean roller.

2-tank system with filling level indicators

With clever 2-tank system: the microfibre roller is constantly moistened with fresh water from the fresh water tank. The used water and dirt are collected in the 2nd tank. The tank filling level indicators show whether the dirty water tank is full or the fresh water tank is empty. In both cases, the robot interrupts its work and returns to the charging station. The display is indicated via LEDs directly on the cleaning robot and also via a notification in the app.

Carpet detection and avoidance

The RCF 3 automatically detects carpeted surfaces using an ultrasonic sensor and shows these on the map in the app. During cleaning, the robot drives around the carpets with a clever driving strategy and prevents them from getting wet. If required, the carpet avoidance can also be deactivated via app, so that the robotic mop runs over all surfaces - even low-pile carpets.

Self-cleaning function of the roller

  • At the scraper edge, dirt is continuously removed from the roller during the cleaning run and reliably collected at the hair comb or transported into the dirty water tank.
  • Best cleaning results with proven roller technology and 2-tank system: dirty water and particles are removed from the roller during the cleaning run. Also ideal for larger areas.

Convenient app control with WLAN

  • The app can be used to adapt many of the settings to match individual preferences.
  • The app allows the cleaning robot to be controlled and configured from any location. Even if you're not at home.
  • Information about the current device status and a display showing the current cleaning progress is available via the app.

Precise mapping of existing floors and versatile customisation options in the app

  • The app can store multiple maps, e.g. for multiple floors.
  • Define zones that are not to be driven over and cleaned (e.g. carpets, play areas and larger obstacles) or that are to be approached specifically and mopped individually.
  • Definition of individual cleaning settings (cleaning intensity, amount of water, number of passes) for specific rooms or areas depending on the cleaning requirement or degree of soiling.

Timer program

  • You can schedule cleaning times and create cleaning plans via the app.
  • The RCF 3 independently starts cleaning operations based on scheduled dates/times.

Voice output

  • Always well informed: the RCF 3 uses voice output to provide important information and share the current status.
  • If the robotic mop needs help or a service, in many situations it will tell you via voice output.

Fall sensors

  • The fall sensors reliably prevent the RCF 3 from falling down steps or ledges.
  • The sensors scan the floor continuously. If a large drop or similar risk is detected, the controller receives a signal triggering the robot to turn around.

Data protection and updates

  • As a manufacturer based in Germany, Kärcher places great importance on data protection and takes extreme care to ensure all the applicable legal requirements in this regard are met.
  • The entire data transfer between the Home Robots app on your smartphone and your robotic mop runs via a cloud to servers located in Germany only.
  • Regular updates improve and extend the performance of the robotic mop and app. This also means the security of the system is constantly updated to match current specifications.
