Keenon KLEENBOT C55 · specs, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The Keenon KLEENBOT C55 is the large-area cleaning robot of the KLEENBOT family, launched in 2025 for sites above 3,000 m² (shopping centres, airports, railway stations, car parks, logistics). It cleans a 550 mm path, carries 60 L of clean water and 47 L of recovery water, and runs continuously thanks to a dual battery that swaps in 5 seconds. Its ability to clear 5 cm obstacles makes it a candidate for underground car parks and their speed bumps. It weighs 150 kg and is 850 mm wide. Price and availability on request.

Data sheet
Reading by environment
Floors and soiling
A dry and wet multifunction robot for large hard-floor areas. Core target: mixed soiling on wide, open floors and in car parks. Carpet not published. Its value lies less in the type of soiling than in its ability to cover large volumes and clear the obstacles found in car parks.
What the manufacturer does not say
The 5 cm figure is an obstacle clearance, not a gradient. Keenon publishes no gradient for the C55. This capability is what makes it suitable for underground car parks, but it should not be read as ramp performance.
The large tank is not a water-saving system. 60 L spaces out refills, but Keenon announces no water recycling: capacity and frugality are not the same thing.
Energy consumption cannot be calculated: a hot-swap dual-battery architecture, with neither capacity nor voltage published.
Distribution not published for this model to date, and few public customer references (launched in 2025). Cost structure: machine plus dock plus optional water station plus consumables.
Purchase or outsourced service
On purchase (capex), the C55 targets large areas with a 5 cm obstacle clearance (suitable for underground car parks), but without water recycling the large tank only spaces out refills, and its distribution is not yet confirmed. A direct purchase is premature; under an outsourced service (opex), that sourcing and the water logistics pass to the contractor. See the catalogue and the demonstration, or our robotic cleaning offer.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- Large tank (60 L) and continuous operation through hot swapping: built for large sites.
- Clears 5 cm: suitable for underground car parks.
- Water station that can be plumbed into the building (optional), 4 stereo cameras with 360° coverage.
Limitations
- 850 mm and 150 kg: needs clear aisles, unsuited to cluttered areas.
- 4 h charge (offset by hot swapping), dock and station optional.
- Distribution and gradient not published; recent model.
Alternatives
- Within the KLEENBOT family: the C40 (more compact, 500 to 4,500 m², no water station) one size down.
- Against other large-area robots: the large-format autonomous floor scrubbers (see the dedicated group) on wide, open floors.
