LionsBot R3 Scrub and R3 Scrub Pro · specifications, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The LionsBot R3 Scrub is a compact dual-mode floor scrubber (scrubbing and mop pad) for offices, retail, healthcare, education and cluttered spaces. It carries 21 L of water and comes in two versions: the R3 Scrub (stainless-steel scrub deck plus mop, very compact and quiet) and the R3 Scrub Pro (cylindrical brush and two side brushes for edge-to-edge cleaning across 682 mm, with better observed productivity). LionsBot claims an installed base of more than 2,500 robots in around thirty countries. Price and availability on request.
At a glance
Two versions
Same R3 platform and same tanks; the difference lies in the cleaning mode and the coverage.
| R3 Scrub | R3 Scrub Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Cleaning | Dual-mode: stainless-steel scrub deck plus mop pad | Cylindrical brush plus 2 side brushes |
| Working width | 370 mm (520 in mop mode) | 682 mm with side brushes, edge to edge |
| Observed productivity | 500 to 800 m²/h | 800 to 1,200 m²/h |
| Weight / noise | 60 to 65 kg · 65 dBA (57 in mop mode) | 85.5 kg · 71 dBA |
| Who it suits | The most discreet, with the mop pad as a bonus | Edge-to-edge coverage and throughput |
In short: Scrub for discretion and the dual scrub/mop mode, Scrub Pro for edge-to-edge coverage and productivity.
Data sheet
Reading by environment
Floors and soiling
Compact scrubbers for hard floors: light, mixed everyday soiling in small furnished spaces. The R3 Scrub adds a mop pad for the finish; the R3 Scrub Pro cleans right up to the edges. No carpet. Coarse debris must be swept up first (small hopper).
What the manufacturer does not say
Rated productivity is a long way from observed productivity. LionsBot itself publishes 500 to 800 m²/h in practice for the Scrub (against 1,200 to 1,800 rated): size the fleet on the observed figure.
The award is for the software, not the robot. The LionsOS ecosystem is presented as award-winning, without naming the distinction, and it concerns the application, not the machine.
The Pro's price is not the standard version's price. LionsBot does not publish a price for the standard version; the prices in circulation are those of the Pro. Do not confuse the two. Cost structure: machine plus optional Refuel Station plus consumables.
Purchase or outsourced service
On purchase (capex), observed productivity (500 to 800 m²/h for the Scrub) falls well short of the headline figure, and the Pro's price does not carry over to the standard version: two sizing and budgeting traps for a buyer acting alone. Under an outsourced service (opex), the contractor sizes the fleet to the actual need and carries the continuity risk. See the catalogue and the demonstration, or our robotic cleaning offer.
