All robot vacuums. Every measure below is plotted against the full class, so a difference can be read against how much the class itself varies.

01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

I
Manual
One action, on command
02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S10

Stereoscopic 3D vision gives confirmed pet-waste and obstacle avoidance beyond what LiDAR-only sensing provides, but it does not extend to a self-emptying or self-washing dock at this price point.

Full 3300Pa suction is available, but independent testing found it is reachable only in Max mode, which trades runtime for cleaning power.

Miele Scout RX3

The price buys Miele’s build and its parts network, not features: the Scout RX3 adds neither a mop nor a self-empty base, in a category where both are now common at the same money.

Camera-based mapping is what keeps the chassis low enough to clear furniture a turret robot cannot enter, and the same choice gives up the mapping precision a spinning laser provides.

Who each one is wrong for

Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.

360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S10
Buyers wanting a self-emptying or self-washing dock
No source reviewed documents a self-emptying or self-washing base; the dust container and water tank are managed by hand.
Homes wanting mopped carpet-adjacent areas in one pass
Independent testing found the robot avoids rugs entirely while its mop module is attached.
Homes relying heavily on fine-debris carpet pickup
Independent testing measured a drop to approximately 76% pickup of fine, granulated debris on low-pile carpet.
Miele Scout RX3
Buyers wanting a self-emptying dock
The Scout RX3 has no auto-empty base; the small dustbin needs manual emptying every 1-3 runs.
Households wanting combo vacuum-mop coverage
No mop hardware exists for this model; owners needing mopping must add a separate robot or manual mop.
Buyers who need a certified HEPA filter
The Scout RX3 ships Miele's two-stage AirClean Plus filter, sold as service part RX2-AP, which Miele describes as providing effective filtration for clean room air. Miele reserves its HEPA AirClean designation, and the 99.97 percent capture figure that goes with it, for its canister vacuums and does not apply it to the Scout line.
Very large or multi-level homes wanting single-charge coverage
Camera-based mapping is systematic, but the base Scout RX3 is rated at 60 minutes of runtime and carries a small dustbin, which favors smaller footprints over sprawling floor plans.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

360 Robot Vacuum Cleaner S10
  • After every use: Empty the 500 ml dustbin; there is no auto-empty dock to do it.
  • After every use: On mopping runs, empty the 520 ml water tank and rinse the mop cloth; no auto-refill is documented.
  • Weekly: Clear the brushroll; independent reviews describe debris tangling around its axle.
  • Monthly: Wash or tap out the dustbin filter and wipe the camera and LiDAR windows.
  • As needed: Replace the filter, side brush, and brushroll as wear shows; no replacement interval or part pricing is documented on the manufacturer’s product page.
Miele Scout RX3
  • Weekly: Empty the dustbin manually; no self-empty base is available for this model.
  • Weekly: Clear the AirClean Plus filter of trapped debris to maintain suction.
  • Monthly: Inspect the filter and tap out accumulated dust.
  • Monthly: Remove hair wrapped around the main brush roller.
  • Every 3-6 months: Replace the AirClean Plus filter (Miele service part RX2-AP, 10592080).
  • Every 3-6 months: Clean the camera lens and drop sensors of dust film.
  • As needed: Wipe down charging contacts on the dock.
05 Evidence

How much each of these is standing on.

Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
