LionsBot R3 Vac · specifications, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The LionsBot R3 Vac is a compact autonomous vacuum launched in 2023 for offices, retail, hotels, healthcare and education. It vacuums a 550 mm path (350 mm without the side brushes), handles carpet, and stands out for its HEPA H13 filtration and quiet operation (61.7 dBA). One point to watch: it cannot use lifts or open doors, so each mission is confined to a single floor. Price on request.

Floors and soiling
Autonomous vacuum for hard floors and carpet: dust and small dry debris, with HEPA H13 filtration for air quality. It does not scrub. Bulky waste is out of scope (6 L bin). It works as a complementary vacuuming unit in offices, hotels and healthcare, to be paired with a scrubber-dryer for wet cleaning.
What the manufacturer does not say
One floor at a time. With no lift integration and no door handling, the R3 Vac is confined to a single storey: on a multi-level site it has to be moved by hand. This is the most important point, and it is often missing from data sheets.
The 6 L bin sets the pace. On a large site, emptying frequency becomes the limiting factor: measure it before sizing the fleet.
HEPA H13 filtration is a genuine health benefit. It captures fine particles, which matters in care settings and offices. Cost structure: machine plus consumables (HEPA filters, rollers).
Purchase or outsourced service
On a purchase (capex), the structural issue is the lack of lift integration: the R3 Vac stays on one floor and has to be moved by hand on a multi-level site, and its 6 L bin sets the pace. Under an outsourced service (opex), the contractor handles these movements and guarantees continuity. See the Pudu range and the on-site demonstration, or our robotic cleaning service.
