Kärcher publishes complete technical data for its KIRA cleaning robots and no prices at all — we checked the US autonomous-cleaning category page and two individual product pages on 14 August 2026, and none of them shows a figure. The prices below come from three US dealers' live storefronts the same day, all three confirmed in USD, all with working add-to-cart.
What a KIRA costs in the US
| Model | Kärcher part no. | Price | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| KIRA CV 50 BP autonomous vacuum | 9.810-580.0 | **$12,999.00** | two dealers, identical |
| KIRA B 50 autonomous scrubber (22 in cylindrical) | 1.533-002.0 | **$56,435.00** | two dealers, identical |
| KIRA B 50, third dealer | 1.533-002.0 | $55,935.00 | −$500 (−0.9%) |
| KIRA BR 200 autonomous scrubber (33.5 in) | 1.533-013.0 | **$87,117.00** | two dealers, identical |
That agreement is unusual. Across the service-robot dealers we have priced this summer, the same machine has landed 52% apart (KEENON) and 72% apart (temi). Three Kärcher dealers on one day sat inside 0.9%.
The specs the prices are attached to
From Kärcher's own product pages:
| KIRA B 50 | KIRA BR 200 | |
|---|---|---|
| Working width | 22 in | 2.79 ft (33.5 in) |
| Theoretical area performance (autonomous) | 25,457 sq ft/h | max. 49,406 sq ft/h |
| Practical, per tank filling | 19,698 sq ft | 76,886 sq ft |
| Fresh / waste tank | 14.5 / 14.5 gal | 52.83 / 58.12 gal |
| Battery | 24 V / 180 Ah LiFePO₄ (x2) | 24 V / 360 Ah (x4) |
| Runtime / charge | approx. 4 h / max. 5.8 h | approx. 4.5 h / approx. 5.3 h |
| Weight | 502.6 lb | 1,388.9 lb |
Run the money against the capacity and the bigger machine is the cheaper one:
- Per sq ft/h of theoretical throughput: B 50 $2.22, BR 200 $1.76 — the BR 200 costs 54.4% more and buys 94% more throughput, so its unit rate is 20.5% lower.
- Per sq ft between tank fills: B 50 $2.87, BR 200 $1.13 — a 60.4% lower rate, because the tanks scale faster than the price does (3.9x the practical area for 1.54x the money).
This is the same shape we found on solar-panel cleaning robots, where the machine that costs 35% more cleans a megawatt for 32% less. If your floor plate can actually keep a 33.5-inch machine busy, the B 50 is the expensive way to buy area.
The accessory list is arithmetic
One dealer sells the machine and each accessory as separate SKUs, and also sells "machine plus one accessory" variants whose part numbers are the two part numbers joined with a hyphen. Every combined price is the exact sum:
| Accessory | Price | B 50 + accessory |
|---|---|---|
| Linatex side blades | $68.50 | $56,503.50 |
| Detergent tank | $106.00 | $56,541.00 |
| Linatex squeegee blades | $206.00 | $56,641.00 |
| White brush (soft) | $366.00 | $56,801.00 |
| Orange brush (hi/lo) | $390.00 | $56,825.00 |
| Microfibre sleeve | $426.00 | $56,861.00 |
| Blue spotlight kit | $484.00 | $56,919.00 |
| Aluminium roller shaft | $518.00 | $56,953.00 |
| Green brush (aggressive) | $646.00 | $57,081.00 |
| **Docking station** | **$3,195.00** | **$59,630.00** |
Not one of the ten combinations carries a bundle discount, and the configurator only lets you add a single accessory. The CV 50 BP behaves identically ($12,999.00 plus a $458.00 battery = $13,457.00, and so on for the $32.50 HEPA filter, $46.50 rubber lip, $75.00 side broom and $81.00 roller brush).
The one that matters for budgeting is the docking station at $3,195.00 — 5.7% on top, and the difference between a robot that runs a shift and a robot that runs unattended. A realistically deployed KIRA B 50 is $59,630, not $56,435. Consumables are cheap by comparison: a standard red brush is $160.00, oil-resistant squeegee blades $150.00, a side broom $65.50.
Where this sits in the market
Against the commercial cleaning robots we have priced from dealer pages this year, the KIRA B 50 is at the upper end: Gausium's line ran $12,995 to $75,750 and LionsBot's R3 Vac was quoted between $13,000 and $22,275 depending on which page of the same dealer you opened. The CV 50 BP at $12,999.00 is the entry point into the KIRA family and 23.0% of a B 50 — but it is a vacuum, not a scrubber, and replaces a different job.
Buying notes
- Ask which SKU you are being quoted. 1.533-002.0 is the 22-inch cylindrical B 50; Kärcher also builds disc-deck and other variants under similar names, and dealers shorten "KIRA BR 200" to "B200".
- Add the dock before you compare. A quote with a dock and a quote without one are 5.7% apart on paper and much further apart in operation.
- Size on practical area per fill, not on the headline sq ft/h. Kärcher publishes both, and the gap between them is where refills and dumps live.
- Shop the SKU, not the brand. The 0.9% spread we saw is a good sign, but it was three dealers on one day; the $500 was real money and took one extra tab.
