Tennant X6 ROVR · specs, operator review and alternatives (2026)
The Tennant X6 ROVR is a medium-to-large autonomous floor scrubber, launched in 2025 and designed from the outset as a robot, for retail, logistics, education and complex sites. It scrubs a 650 mm path, carries 95 L of water, runs for 6 h and stands out as the only ROVR that accepts a dock (optional XC1 station: charging, filling and draining). It runs the SelfPath navigation software, updated in April 2026. Price and availability on request.

Technical data
Fit by environment
Floors and soiling
A disc scrubber for hard floors on medium and large surfaces, including multi-zone sites. No carpet. Large debris must be swept up beforehand. Its value lies in combining capacity (95 L, 6 h) with cycle autonomy thanks to the optional dock.
What the manufacturer does not say
The only ROVR with a dock. The optional XC1 station automates charging, filling and draining: this is the structural difference from the X4 ROVR, which has none. On a large site, it is what makes it possible to keep up the pace.
A very recent product, still evolving. Launched in April 2025, with a SelfPath navigation update in April 2026: earlier comparisons describe a different product. Assess it on its current version.
The dock is optional, and its price is not public. As is often the case, full autonomy has a cost beyond the machine itself. Cost structure: machine + optional XC1 dock + consumables.
Buying or contracting out
If you buy (capex), the X6 ROVR is the only machine in its range with a dock (optional XC1) to automate charging, water and draining, but it is very recent and is still evolving through navigation updates: a moving target, to be evaluated in a pilot. Under a full-service contract (opex), the contractor carries these version upgrades and the continuity commitment. See the Pudu range and the on-site demonstration, or our robotic cleaning service.
Strengths and limitations
Strengths
- The only ROVR that accepts a dock (XC1): back-to-back autonomous cycles.
- 95 L of water and 6 h of runtime, 3-year warranty.
- Designed from the outset as a robot, recent SelfPath navigation.
Limitations
- Dock optional (price not public): full autonomy has to be budgeted for.
- Very recent product, limited field track record.
- Scrubbing only, no carpet.
Alternatives
- In the Tennant range: the X4 ROVR (more compact, no dock) one size down; the T7AMR and T16AMR as converted ride-ons.
- Against other autonomous scrubbers: the Kärcher KIRA B 50 and the Gausium Scrubber 75.
