This is a facilities purchase before it is a robotics one: a machine that sweeps, wet-scrubs and dry-mops a large commercial floor in one pass, then returns to its own dock to recharge, refill and drain without anyone attending it. Reach for one when the job is a big, repetitive floor that already needs cleaning on a schedule, not a one-off or a small footprint a mop handles faster.
- Coverage rate decides whether it fits your site, not the headline photograph.
- The C5 covers up to 1,920 m² an hour at up to 840 mm wide with its side brush extended. Measure your own floor plan against that before assuming a robot sized for a supermarket also suits a corridor-heavy office fit-out.
- Wet and dry work run on different clocks.
- Scrubbing runs about 3 hours before recharging is needed; dry dust-mopping runs about 8. A site that needs both a wet clean and dry maintenance passes across a shift is running two duty cycles on one machine, and the schedule should say so rather than assuming one number covers both.
The docking cycle is what makes back-to-back runs possible at all: charging, water refill and drain, and a 4-minute tank self-clean, all without a person meeting the robot at a tap.
