Gausium Vacuum 40 · specs, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The Gausium Vacuum 40 is a 3-in-1 autonomous vacuum launched in 2021, for hotels, offices, commercial buildings and healthcare. It vacuums a 720 mm path, handles carpet and automatically detects the floor type to adjust its pass. It relies on a charging dock. Observed productivity of 400 to 800 m²/h depending on the mode. Its limitation: it only vacuums dry (no scrubbing) and remains slow (0.9 m/s). Price and availability on request.

Floors and soiling
A dry vacuum for carpet and hard floors: dust and small debris in hotels, offices and healthcare, with adjustment to the floor type. Does not scrub. Bulky waste out of scope. A vacuuming complement to pair with a scrubber-dryer for scrubbing.
What the manufacturer does not say
It only vacuums dry. No scrubbing: the Vacuum 40 covers vacuuming, to be complemented by a scrubber-dryer. Floor-type detection optimises the vacuuming, not wet cleaning.
Observed productivity is modest. 400 to 800 m²/h in practice (against 2,300 rated) and 0.9 m/s: size on the observed figure, not the claim.
The large container is an asset in hotels. A 12 L bag limits how often it needs emptying on long rounds. Cost structure: machine + dock + consumables (bags, filters).
Buying or outsourcing
If you buy (capex), the large 12 L bag spaces out emptying in hotels, but observed productivity (400 to 800 m²/h) is far below the rated figure and it only vacuums dry, to be complemented by a scrubber. If you outsource (opex), the contractor sets the real throughput and carries the complete sequence. See our robot range and the demonstration, or our robotic cleaning service.
