In our test of how well it cleaned baking soda from baseboards and in corners the Scout RX3 was impressive. Its 2,500Pa of suction was a little weaker than other robots but it moved quickly and was extremely quiet. It didn't mop, and its clean pad was difficult to attach. It also couldn't handle dirt that was dried on.
The app is on the basic side with no advanced features such as multiple cleaning modes and automated scheduling. It works with Alexa but its voice controls aren't intuitive or responsive. And it's also a little flaky when it comes to getting back to the charging station after an outing Other robots can follow a previous route or sensibly follow a wall around until they reach their home however the RX3 just bumbles about until it gives up and sends a failure message to your phone.
We also experienced issues with the intelligent features of the device, namely its mapping feature and digital stay-out zones. While it did a great job of avoiding our furniture legs and shoes but it could easily be stuck by socks and cables, and was unable to handle the tassels that adorn rug. That's why we chose not to include it on our
best combo vacuum Buy list. The Scout RX3 offers a good price and a dazzling performance. It's worth considering as an alternative to the traditional uprights.
