LionsBot R3 Vac

What it's for

The Singapore maker LionsBot International aims the R3 Vac at retail and offices: after one button press the robot sets off on its own, and navigation is handled by 3D LiDAR.

The specific uses follow from the parameters. The dust bin holds 6 liters, the claimed capacity is about 1,260 m2 per hour, and runtime is 2-3 hours on one charge (charging itself takes about 2 hours). With those numbers the robot fits where the area is medium-sized and the cleaning repetitive: a clothing store, an open-plan office, a reception area and the corridors of an office building, a car showroom after closing. The compact dimensions (482 x 655 x 521 mm) let it get in where a large scrubber will not fit.

It is worth stating the limits right away. This is a vacuum, not a scrubber: wet cleaning of hard floors is a job for the sister model LionsBot R3 Scrub Pro. The manufacturer gives no noise level, so in a hotel or library it has to be tested on site. Nor do the sources show that the robot copes with large warehouse halls. A broader overview is in the category “Service robots” and in “Commercial Cleaning Robots in Practice”. The model fits the use cases retail and hotels, as long as the areas are office and reception spaces rather than kitchens.

Who it's for

Worth considering for: the owner of a shop, office or showroom with a few hundred square meters of carpet or hard flooring who wants to relieve staff of daily vacuuming. Companies that prefer a subscription model - according to RobotLAB a RaaS option is available at USD 369 per month, so you do not have to lay out the whole amount up front. Facility managers who want to standardize their fleet: the R3 Vac and R3 Scrub Pro together cover vacuuming and washing hard floors.

Probably not for: companies that need confirmed Polish service - distribution in Poland is not confirmed, so you have to reckon with importing or an intermediary. Owners of large production halls and warehouses, where throughput counted in thousands of meters per hour matters. Places where quiet is critical, until the noise has been measured. And those looking for a wet-mopping robot - a different machine is needed there.

Deployments

Distribution of the R3 Vac in Poland has not been confirmed by the manufacturer, and we know of no Polish use case for this model. Data on deployments worldwide is not described in detail in the sources either.

On the Polish market, cleaning robots from other brands are on sale. The Pudu CC1 is offered by several Polish sellers, and the Keenon C30 can be rented for 12 months. Their example shows that a rental and leasing market in commercial cleaning already exists, so anyone who wants to test a robot without importing has options. A broader overview is in service robots.

The closest competitor in the same tier is the SoftBank Robotics Whiz from SoftBank Robotics. It is more expensive: USD 25,000 to buy or USD 1,042 per month under RaaS. It runs on the Brain platform (BrainOS) and has a similar runtime (about 3 hours). If the subscription price matters, the R3 Vac comes out better; if a proven software ecosystem matters, take a look at the Whiz.

The second lead is the Keenon C30 - a 3-in-1 cleaning robot that in Poland can be rented from PLN 2,390 (≈ EUR 550) net per month through NetVet.pl. That is a solution for someone who wants to try the robot in practice first rather than buy right away.

The third is the Pudu CC1 - an industrial 4-in-1 robot (sweeping, scrubbing, washing, vacuuming), in Poland from PLN 73,680 (≈ EUR 16,880) and on lease from PLN 785 (≈ EUR 180) net per month. It costs more than the R3 Vac but combines several kinds of cleaning in one machine and is offered by several Polish sellers.

We have no launch date for the R3 Vac and no description of earlier generations, so we will not guess. What the sources do confirm is the model's position in LionsBot International's lineup: it is the cheaper complement to the more expensive scrubber LionsBot R3 Scrub Pro (USD 31,250). According to the RobotLAB store page, against which we verified the data in September 2026, the two models together cover vacuuming and washing hard floors. The background of the autonomous-cleaning market is described in “Commercial Cleaning Robots in Practice”.
