Short verdict: The Hako Scrubmaster B75 i is one of the more convincing autonomous scrubber-driers for facilities that want to automate repeatable hard-floor cleaning without giving up the flexibility of a conventional machine. Its strongest advantage is the combination of autonomous route cleaning, manual walk-behind operation, large 75-litre solution and recovery tanks, and a choice between disc or cylindrical brush systems. The main trade-offs are its relatively large physical footprint, 120–180-minute published runtime, regional uncertainty around docking-station availability and a purchase price that can approach six figures in Australian dollars depending on configuration.


For warehouses, factories, supermarkets, shopping centres, hospitals and other facilities with large recurring hard-floor routes, the B75 i can remove hours of repetitive scrubber operation from the cleaning schedule while leaving staff available for edges, detail work, washrooms, obstacles and other tasks that still need people.

Best for: commercial and industrial facilities with recurring hard-floor cleaning routes, relatively open circulation space and enough cleaning volume to justify automating routine scrubbing.

Not for: carpet cleaning, stairs, very tight environments, buyers who need a small multi-purpose robot, or sites expecting complete lights-out operation without first confirming docking, water, drainage and recovery requirements.

Reviewed and fact-checked 11 September 2026. This is an independent, documentation-based buyer review, not a claim of hands-on laboratory testing. Specifications were checked primarily against current Hako product documentation. Where Hako regional pages or distributor specifications differ, the discrepancy is identified rather than silently reconciled.

Hako Scrubmaster B75 i: Quick Buyer Verdict

The Scrubmaster B75 i should be evaluated as an autonomous commercial scrubber-drier first and a robot second. The business case is strongest when a facility already spends substantial labour repeatedly driving a floor scrubber over predictable routes. The B75 i can learn those routes, repeat them autonomously and allow cleaning staff to work on tasks that are harder to automate.

Its hybrid design is important. If the environment changes, an area needs spot cleaning or a route has not been programmed, an operator can still use the machine manually rather than waiting for autonomous reconfiguration.

Pros

  • Autonomous and manual cleaning in the same machine.
  • Large 75 L solution and 75 L recovery tanks.
  • Up to 2,340 m²/h theoretical area performance with the disc-brush configuration.
  • Disc and cylindrical brush configurations address different floor conditions.
  • Cylindrical version can combine sweeping and wet cleaning in one pass.

  • Certified LiDAR sensors and 3D cameras support safe autonomous navigation.
  • Optional docking can potentially automate charging, wastewater discharge and fresh-water filling.
  • Hako-Fleet-Management can add operational and service visibility.
  • Manual fallback reduces the risk of buying a robot that only works in perfectly mapped situations.

Cons

  • Large and heavy compared with compact autonomous cleaning robots.
  • Published battery runtime is 120–180 minutes rather than an entire cleaning shift.
  • Hako does not publish one universal global list price.
  • Full deployment cost may increase with the dock, battery configuration, options, service and implementation.
  • Docking-station availability and wording differ between Hako regional sources.
  • No current public global charging-time specification is provided alongside the main B75 i specification table.
  • It is fundamentally a hard-floor scrubber-drier, not a carpet-cleaning or all-surface service robot.
  • Published B75 i-specific ROI evidence is still less extensive than the technical documentation.
  • Buyers need enough repeatable floor area for autonomous operation to make economic sense.

Our recommendation: shortlist the B75 i when your facility already has a recurring walk-behind scrubber workflow and the aim is to automate the repetitive floor coverage rather than replace the entire cleaning team. Compare the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i listing with your current labour, route and servicing requirements before requesting a site-specific quote.

How Much Does the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i Cost in 2026?

Hako does not publish one universal global list price for the Scrubmaster B75 i on its main product page. Buyers are directed to request a quotation or demonstration.

However, public distributor pricing gives useful market context.

At the time of our September 2026 research, Australian retailer Freshway Supplies listed:

Public Australian Hako Scrubmaster B75 i pricing
ConfigurationPublished price
Scrubmaster B75i TB 650 disc-brush configurationA$98,989
Scrubmaster B75i WB 540 cylindrical-brush configurationA$109,769

These are retailer prices in one market, not universal Hako MSRP. They should not be assumed to include the same battery, docking system, service agreement, commissioning, training or commercial terms offered in another region.

A better way to compare price

Ask every supplier for two figures:

  1. Minimum viable deployment cost: everything needed for one autonomous route to work reliably.
  2. Three-year total cost of ownership: machine, battery, dock, software, commissioning, maintenance, consumables, infrastructure and internal labour.

Do not compare a bare B75 i machine price with a competitor quote containing a dock, support contract and commissioning.

For current configuration and supplier options, see the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i at Anton Robots.

What Is the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i?

The Scrubmaster B75 i is an autonomous commercial scrubber-drier from Hako designed to clean taught hard-floor routes without continuous manual driving.

It uses 3D cameras, certified LiDAR sensors and image-processing technology for navigation and obstacle detection. An operator teaches the robot a route by manually guiding the machine through the cleaning journey. The route can then be stored and repeated autonomously.

Unlike many purpose-built cleaning robots, the B75 i remains a usable conventional machine when autonomy is not appropriate. An operator can take control using its extendable handle and operate it as a walk-behind scrubber-drier.

What the B75 i is

  • An autonomous hard-floor scrubber-drier.
  • A hybrid autonomous/manual cleaning machine.
  • A platform for repeatable commercial and industrial floor cleaning.
  • A machine available with disc or cylindrical brush configurations.
  • A way to move staff away from repetitive floor coverage towards detail work.
  • A potential part of a more automated cleaning workflow when combined with a docking station and fleet management.

What the B75 i is not

  • It is not a domestic robot vacuum.
  • It is not a carpet-cleaning robot.
  • It is not a general-purpose service robot.
  • It is not designed to climb stairs.
  • It is not automatically suitable for every narrow corridor or congested environment.
  • Autonomous operation does not eliminate tank, brush, squeegee, chemical and maintenance requirements.
  • A dock does not remove the need for staff to supervise exceptions, inspect results and maintain the machine.

If you are comparing the wider category rather than this specific machine, explore commercial cleaning robots.

Important specification differences between sources

Do not assume every distributor specification represents the same configuration.

Hako’s global product material lists a 76 cm effective squeegee width and 1,980 m²/h cylindrical-brush theoretical output. Some regional or distributor pages publish slightly different figures for particular WB and TB configurations.

That does not necessarily mean one source is wrong. Regional configurations, machine revisions or measurement conventions can differ.

Buyer rule: require the exact datasheet, battery, brush deck, squeegee width and autonomous performance figures for the SKU appearing on your quotation.

Disc Brush vs Cylindrical Brush: Which B75 i Should You Choose?

This is one of the most important decisions in a B75 i purchase.

The two versions are not simply cosmetic variants.

Disc-brush B75 i

The disc version uses a three-disc cleaning system with a published 65 cm working width and theoretical area performance of up to 2,340 m²/h.

It is the more straightforward choice when the primary requirement is wet scrubbing of relatively smooth hard floors.

Best suited to:

  • Smooth warehouse and logistics floors.
  • Polished or sealed commercial flooring.
  • Retail and public-area floor scrubbing.
  • Facilities where loose debris is already controlled before scrubbing.
  • Buyers prioritising maximum published wet-scrubbing width.

Cylindrical-brush B75 i

The cylindrical version has an approximately 54 cm main cleaning width and can use two additional side brooms, giving an approximately 80 cm span.

Its major advantage is that the cylindrical brush and side-broom arrangement can sweep loose debris and wet-clean in one working step.

Best suited to:

  • Floors where loose debris appears regularly.
  • Industrial or logistics sites.
  • Areas where pre-sweeping would otherwise add another labour step.
  • Textured or more demanding floor-cleaning workflows.

Hako also offers Dust Stop for the cylindrical version’s side brooms to reduce the amount of dust and fine particulate thrown into the surrounding air.

Which configuration is better?

There is no universally better B75 i.

Choose based on the dirt you actually have.

If the site mainly has fine soil and needs straightforward wet scrubbing, the 65 cm disc system may be the simpler answer.

If the machine regularly encounters loose debris and you want to combine sweeping with scrubbing, the cylindrical configuration deserves serious consideration.

A site trial should use the same brush system, pad or brush material and detergent that would be deployed after purchase.

Autonomous Navigation, Teach-and-Repeat and Auto-Fill-In

The B75 i uses a relatively understandable autonomy model: teach the machine where and how to clean, then let it repeat the job.

Teach-and-repeat

For a new route, an operator manually drives the Scrubmaster B75 i through the required cleaning journey.

The machine records the route and creates the data required to repeat it autonomously later.

This approach has an important operational advantage: a cleaning supervisor does not need to program coordinates or write robotic code.

Repeating saved routes

Once a route has been created and validated, the B75 i can repeat it autonomously.

This is where the labour case begins to make sense. Instead of assigning a person to drive the same scrubber through the same warehouse lanes or public-area route every shift, the machine can handle the repetitive coverage while staff work elsewhere.

Auto-fill-in

Hako also documents an auto-fill-in function.

The operator manually defines the perimeter of an area. The B75 i then generates a cleaning strategy and covers the area autonomously.

This can be more useful than a fixed route in open spaces where the goal is complete area coverage rather than following one exact path.

Changing environments still matter

Autonomy does not make layout changes irrelevant.

Pallets, displays, temporary barriers, cleaning carts, construction work, people and vehicles can alter a route.

The buying question is therefore not simply:

“Can it navigate autonomously?”

It is:

“How reliably does it finish our actual route during our actual operating hours?”

Measure that during the pilot.

Scrubmaster B75 i Docking Station and Unattended Cleaning

The docking station can change the B75 i from an autonomous driving machine into a much more autonomous cleaning system.

Hako documentation describes a dock that can support:

  • Battery charging.
  • Recovery-water draining.
  • Fresh-water filling.
  • Communication with the machine.

That matters because water and charging are normally the two biggest interruptions in autonomous scrubber operation.

But verify regional availability

Hako’s current global B75 i page still says a docking station “will be available” and can be retrofitted, while Hako regional sources describe the machine operating with its docking station.

The safest interpretation is that availability and commercial rollout may differ by region or machine revision.

Do not assume docking functionality from a brochure image.

Ask the supplier to confirm in writing:

  • Is the dock orderable today in your country?
  • What B75 i serial numbers or revisions are compatible?
  • Can an existing machine be retrofitted?
  • Does the dock charge the battery automatically?
  • Does it fill fresh water?
  • Does it drain dirty water?
  • Does it rinse any part of the recovery system?
  • What water pressure and drainage connection are required?
  • What happens after a failed docking attempt?
  • Can one dock service more than one machine?
  • Is detergent dosing automated or still manual?

Why docking changes the ROI

Without a dock, autonomous driving still requires a person to service the machine between cycles.

With a properly integrated dock, longer periods of repeated cleaning can potentially be performed with much less intervention.

That difference should be reflected in the business case.

Cleaning Performance: What 2,340 m²/h Really Means

The disc-brush B75 i has a published theoretical area performance of up to 2,340 m²/h. The cylindrical version is published at 1,980 m²/h.

These figures are useful for comparing machine capacity, but they are not a promise that 2,340 square metres of a real facility will be completely cleaned every hour.

Real productivity depends on:

  • Obstacles.
  • Turning.
  • Route geometry.
  • Overlap.
  • Traffic.
  • Reduced-speed areas.
  • Soil level.
  • Water settings.
  • Brush pressure.
  • Stops for people and vehicles.
  • Tank servicing.
  • Battery management.
  • Edge and detail work.
  • Route interruptions.

Use effective productivity in the business case

During a trial, measure:

Effective productivity = successfully cleaned usable floor area ÷ total elapsed cleaning time.

Then measure:

Autonomous completion rate = autonomous missions completed without human recovery ÷ missions started.

Those two figures matter more to ROI than the brochure maximum.

75-litre tanks are a meaningful advantage

The B75 i carries 75 L of clean solution and 75 L of recovered water.

That is substantially more water capacity than many compact cleaning robots.

Large tanks can reduce intervention frequency, but only if battery life, route length and water consumption are balanced correctly.

A machine with water remaining but insufficient battery—or battery remaining but a full recovery tank—still needs intervention.

Safety, LiDAR and Operation Around People

Autonomous commercial cleaning equipment operates around employees, customers, equipment and vehicles, so safety deserves more attention than the word “LiDAR”.

Hako documents:

  • Certified LiDAR sensors for personal protection.
  • 3D camera systems.
  • Obstacle detection.
  • Fall detection.
  • Collision-protection systems.
  • Defined safety zones.
  • Visual warning signals including lights and LED strips.
  • CE marking and conformity to relevant standards.

Hako’s B75 i brochure specifically states compliance with EN IEC 63327, the safety standard covering autonomous mobile machinery used for commercial floor treatment.

What happens when the robot sees an obstacle?

Hako describes the machine slowing or stopping when something enters its path.

When the obstacle moves away and the protection area becomes clear, the machine can resume operation.

The system is also designed to stop when an unexpected object or person suddenly enters the protected area.

Certification does not replace a site risk assessment

A safe robot can still be deployed badly.

Test:

  • Forklift crossings.
  • Pallet movements.
  • Children or unpredictable public traffic.
  • Glass and reflective surfaces.
  • Temporary barriers.
  • Ramps.
  • Floor edges.
  • Cables.
  • Wet-floor interactions.
  • Automatic doors.
  • Fire doors.
  • Lift lobbies.
  • Emergency stops.
  • Recovery after the machine is blocked.

The right acceptance test uses the busiest credible version of the environment, not an empty demonstration area.

Hako-Fleet-Management and Cleaning Data

The B75 i can be integrated into the wider Hako fleet-management environment.

Hako describes its fleet platform as providing visibility into machine operation and servicing, including:

  • Important service data.
  • Operating states.
  • Web-based fleet visibility.
  • Machine location.
  • Performance records.
  • Cleaning statistics.
  • Fault information.
  • Cost and utilisation visibility.

The platform can therefore make the B75 i more useful for a multi-machine operation than a standalone autonomous scrubber with no operational reporting.

Data and privacy

Hako’s current B75 i brochure also describes European data storage and pixelation of video material used for analysis before storage in certain error-analysis workflows.

For a hospital, airport, shopping centre, factory or other privacy-sensitive facility, confirm:

  • Which images are recorded.
  • When images are stored.
  • Whether raw or pixelated video leaves the machine.
  • Server location.
  • Retention period.
  • User permissions.
  • Remote service access.
  • Cybersecurity-update policy.
  • What happens to machine data when a contract ends.

Do not treat “fleet management” as only a dashboard feature. It is also an IT and data-governance decision.

Battery Life, Charging and Duty Cycle

Hako publishes a theoretical battery runtime of 120–180 minutes, depending on battery configuration.

That can be enough for substantial cleaning routes, but it should not be translated directly into square metres without testing.

Runtime changes with:

  • Battery configuration.
  • Brush system.
  • Floor resistance.
  • Brush pressure.
  • Water use.
  • Machine speed.
  • Stops and obstacle avoidance.
  • Environmental conditions.
  • Route geometry.
  • Accessory use.

Charging time should be confirmed

The current global B75 i product specification gives runtime but does not publish a simple universal charging-time figure alongside it.

That matters.

A buyer planning two or three autonomous cleaning cycles per day needs to know not only how long the machine runs, but how quickly it becomes productive again.

Require the supplier to state:

  • Battery capacity.
  • Usable runtime in your configuration.
  • Charging time from the expected return state of charge.
  • Charging behaviour at the dock.
  • Battery warranty.
  • Expected battery cycle life.
  • Replacement cost.

Plan the route around usable runtime

Do not design a mission that consumes 100% of theoretical battery endurance.

The robot needs enough reserve for:

  • Unexpected obstacles.
  • Longer detours.
  • Slower traffic areas.
  • A return to the dock.
  • Failed docking and retry behaviour.
  • Battery degradation over time.

Operational margin is more valuable than squeezing another few minutes out of one mission.

Hygiene, Dust Control and Other B75 i Options

Hako offers several features that can materially change where the machine fits.

Hako-AntiBac

Hako documents antibacterial tank treatment designed to reduce fungal and bacterial growth, odour development and the amount of tank-cleaning disinfectant required.

This can be relevant in healthcare, aged care, food-related environments and other hygiene-sensitive facilities.

Confirm whether Hako-AntiBac is standard or configuration-specific in your region and quote.

Dust Stop

For the cylindrical configuration, Hako offers Dust Stop side-broom equipment intended to reduce the dust and fine particles normally thrown into the air during sweeping.

This is more relevant to warehouses and industrial sites than to a clean retail floor.

Clean Guard

The optional Clean Guard front shield is designed to push larger coarse debris away from the machine instead of allowing it to interfere with autonomous cleaning.

Hako says the shield can also be retrofitted to existing machines.

Brush selection still matters

Autonomy does not fix the wrong consumable.

Ask for a cleaning trial using the actual floor, chemical, brush or pad and soil found on site.

A perfectly autonomous machine that cannot remove the site’s dirt is still the wrong machine.

Real-World Evidence: How Proven Is the B75 i?

The B75 i has moved beyond a prototype-only product.

Hako currently shows the machine operating autonomously on production floors at its Glindow manufacturing site in Germany, where predefined areas are cleaned sequentially and the machine navigates around obstacles while staff are freed for other work.

Hako Australia has also published a claimed cleaning-coverage figure of up to 99% when the robot precisely follows defined cleaning routes. That figure is manufacturer-published and should not be treated as an independent guarantee for another facility.

What is still missing?

Public B75 i-specific evidence is stronger on engineering and product capability than on independently verified financial outcomes.

For a large purchase, do not rely on generic claims that autonomous cleaning “saves labour”.

Ask the supplier for:

  • Deployments similar to your industry.
  • Similar route sizes.
  • Similar operating hours.
  • Autonomous completion rates.
  • Average interventions per shift.
  • Service history.
  • Real water consumption.
  • Battery performance.
  • Customer references.
  • Measured labour-hours reallocated.

Then prove the same metrics at your own site.

Best Hako Scrubmaster B75 i Use Cases

1. Warehouses and logistics facilities

One of the strongest fits. Large recurring hard-floor routes and relatively predictable cleaning schedules suit the B75 i well.

The cylindrical-brush version is particularly interesting where loose warehouse debris makes pre-sweeping necessary.

2. Manufacturing plants

Factories can combine repetitive floor areas with expensive labour and ongoing dirt generation.

A B75 i can repeatedly clean production-floor routes while staff handle machinery, corners and specialised cleaning.

Traffic interaction with forklifts and autonomous material-handling equipment must be tested carefully.

3. Supermarkets and large retail

The B75 i can automate broad aisles and open floor areas while the cleaning team focuses on spill response, edges, shelving and detail work.

The challenge is dynamic public traffic, promotional displays and frequently changing obstacles.

4. Shopping centres

Large recurring corridors can create a strong utilisation case.

Evaluate pedestrian traffic, escalator boundaries, lifts, doors, kiosk changes and operating-hour restrictions before assuming unattended operation.

5. Hospitals and healthcare facilities

Autonomous scrubbing can reduce repetitive labour and limit unnecessary contact with recovered cleaning water.

Hygiene features are attractive, but hospitals add stricter requirements around people, equipment, infection-control procedures, privacy and floor access.

6. Airports and transport facilities

Long corridors and large hard-floor areas can create substantial floor-cleaning demand.

These are also highly dynamic environments, so safety, route interruption and human recovery need rigorous testing.

7. Education and public buildings

Universities, exhibition centres, sports facilities and public buildings often have large circulation areas that are cleaned repeatedly outside peak hours.

A hybrid machine is useful because staff can still manually clean unexpected areas.

8. Contract cleaning

Cleaning contractors can potentially improve labour utilisation by assigning autonomous floor coverage to the machine while trained staff complete higher-detail tasks.

The economic case depends on utilisation: an expensive autonomous scrubber sitting unused between occasional jobs will struggle to pay back.

When the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i Is Not the Right Robot

The B75 i is powerful, but it is not automatically the right cleaning robot.

  • Very tight environments: its 74.5 cm machine width and approximately 130 cm turning circle may be too large.
  • Carpet-heavy buildings: this is fundamentally a scrubber-drier for hard floors.
  • Small floor areas: a compact autonomous cleaner may offer better utilisation and lower cost.
  • Multi-purpose cleaning requirements: robots such as Gausium Phantas or PUDU CC1 Pro combine more cleaning modes in a smaller platform.
  • Stairs or split-level areas without suitable access: a wheeled scrubber cannot traverse stairs.
  • Unknown lift requirements: do not assume native elevator integration unless the supplier confirms the exact solution.
  • Outdoor or weather-exposed operation: do not assume an environmental rating that Hako has not specified for the quoted configuration.
  • Sites with constant major layout changes: route automation may require too much intervention.
  • Locations without water/drainage infrastructure: full dock autonomy may require building modifications.
  • No route owner: somebody still needs to own mapping, cleaning quality, exceptions and maintenance.
  • Low machine utilisation: autonomous hardware only creates ROI when it is used enough to replace meaningful repetitive labour.

For smaller autonomous options, compare the Gausium Phantas and PUDU CC1 Pro.

Hako Scrubmaster B75 i vs Kärcher KIRA B 50, Tennant X4 ROVR, Gausium Phantas and PUDU CC1 Pro

Which one should you choose?

  • Choose the B75 i when tank capacity, traditional scrubber performance and autonomous/manual flexibility are priorities.
  • Shortlist KIRA B 50 when integrated docking, fleet features and long published runtime are important.
  • Shortlist X4 ROVR when you want a smaller walk-behind autonomous scrubber from Tennant.
  • Choose Phantas when the environment is smaller, tighter and needs multiple cleaning modes.
  • Consider CC1 Pro when multi-function cleaning and building integrations such as lifts or e-gates matter.

You can also compare current models with the Anton Robots comparison tool.

Is the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i Worth It?

The B75 i can be worth it when a facility repeatedly pays people to drive scrubber-driers over large, predictable floor areas and those labour hours can genuinely be reassigned after automation.

It is harder to justify when routes are small, highly irregular or require constant intervention.

Do not calculate ROI using theoretical area performance

Start with your existing process.

Measure:

Current annual floor-cleaning cost = labour + existing equipment + consumables + supervision + downtime.

Then model:

Annual autonomous benefit = labour hours genuinely reallocated + productivity gained + avoided equipment cost − incremental autonomous operating cost.

Finally:

Payback period = total implementation cost ÷ monthly net benefit.

Costs to include

  • B75 i machine.
  • Battery configuration.
  • Docking station.
  • Site preparation.
  • Water and wastewater connections.
  • Electrical installation.
  • Brushes or pads.
  • Squeegee blades.
  • Chemicals.
  • Fleet-management software.
  • Training.
  • Commissioning.
  • Preventive servicing.
  • Repairs.
  • Battery replacement.
  • Internal robot supervision.
  • Manual exception handling.

Benefits to measure

  • Autonomous floor area completed per shift.
  • Operator minutes removed from repetitive floor driving.
  • Number of manual interventions.
  • Detail-cleaning hours gained.
  • Reduction in duplicated passes.
  • Increased cleaning frequency.
  • Cleaning completed outside normal labour windows.
  • Reduced exposure to recovered dirty water.
  • More consistent route execution.

The labour-saving trap

Do not assume:

“Three hours of robot runtime = three hours of labour eliminated.”

A member of staff may still prepare the machine, fill it, move obstacles, start routes, recover exceptions, empty tanks, clean the squeegee and maintain brushes.

The relevant number is net labour released, not robot operating time.

A practical pilot threshold

Before purchase, require the pilot to demonstrate at least:

  1. Reliable route completion.
  2. Acceptable cleaning quality.
  3. Safe behaviour during realistic traffic.
  4. Adequate battery margin.
  5. Acceptable water and recovery capacity.
  6. Manageable intervention rate.
  7. Successful manual fallback.
  8. A credible financial payback.

Hako Scrubmaster B75 i Buying Checklist

  1. Measure the actual cleanable floor area. Exclude shelving, machinery and permanently inaccessible areas.
  2. Map every route. Include corridor width, turns, doors, slopes, crossings and congestion.
  3. Identify the soil. Fine dirt, oil, tyre marks, loose debris and textured flooring require different cleaning systems.
  4. Choose disc or cylindrical brushes deliberately. Do not choose from price alone.
  5. Test the exact consumable. Use the brush or pad that will actually be deployed.
  6. Set cleaning-quality criteria. Define what counts as a successfully cleaned floor.
  7. Set autonomous completion targets. Measure missions completed without intervention.
  8. Test peak traffic. Include people, forklifts, carts and changing obstacles.
  9. Confirm battery configuration. Ask for capacity, charge time, warranty and replacement cost.
  10. Validate real runtime. Test with full tanks and the final brush configuration.
  11. Confirm docking availability. Get the regional SKU and compatibility in writing.
  12. Survey utilities. Check power, clean water and wastewater drainage at the proposed dock.
  13. Review IT and data. Understand fleet connectivity, storage and remote service.
  14. Check every doorway and turn. Use the actual 74.5 cm body width and route geometry.
  15. Check lifts and doors. Do not assume automatic-door or elevator integration.
  16. Define exception ownership. Decide who responds when the robot stops.
  17. Define daily maintenance. Brushes, squeegee, tanks and sensors still require care.
  18. Request service SLAs. Autonomous cleaning loses value quickly if the machine waits days for repair.
  19. Request three-year TCO. Include every recurring cost.
  20. Pilot before scaling. Prove one route before automating the entire facility.

Pro tip: begin with a cleaning route, not with a robot. Write down how many square metres are cleaned, how often, how long it takes, what machine is currently used and what staff do during that time. Then test whether the B75 i genuinely improves that process.

How to Buy the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i

The B75 i is primarily sold through a consultative commercial-equipment process rather than as a standard consumer product.

A useful RFQ should include:

  • Country and site location.
  • Industry.
  • Approximate total floor area.
  • Floor materials.
  • Current cleaning frequency.
  • Existing scrubber equipment.
  • Current labour time.
  • Type of soil and debris.
  • Required cleaning hours.
  • Door widths.
  • Narrowest passage.
  • Slopes and ramps.
  • Pedestrian traffic.
  • Forklift or vehicle traffic.
  • Water availability.
  • Drainage availability.
  • Proposed dock location.
  • Required service response.
  • Target deployment date.

Before requesting a quote, prepare:

  • Floor plans.
  • Photos or video of the route.
  • Measurements of narrow points.
  • Photos of representative dirt.
  • Existing cleaning schedule.
  • Current labour cost or hours.
  • Water and drainage locations.
  • Any door or lift requirements.

Review the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i product listing, then contact Anton Robots for current supplier availability and configuration options.

If the B75 i is not obviously the right size or architecture, use Find My Robot to compare alternatives around your facility rather than forcing the use case around one model.

What Buyers Should Verify for the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i in 2026

Docking-station rollout

This is the largest documentation issue we found.

Hako’s global page uses future-facing wording around docking availability, while regional Hako operations already describe or market the dock as part of the B75 i ecosystem.

Buyers in 2026 should therefore verify actual regional availability rather than relying on one international web page.

Public Australian pricing gives a useful benchmark

Although Hako still uses quotation-based sales, public Australian retailer listings give buyers a rare current market reference: approximately A$99,000 for the TB 650 disc version and A$110,000 for the WB 540 cylindrical version at the time of our review.

That is useful benchmarking—not a universal global price.

Safety documentation is more specific

Current B75 i brochure material identifies EN IEC 63327 conformity, certified LiDAR personal-protection sensors, camera systems and data-protection measures in considerably more detail than early launch material.

The B75 i is now part of a wider autonomous Hako portfolio

Hako also markets smaller autonomous cleaning machines, so buyers should not assume that the B75 i is automatically the right Hako autonomous machine simply because they want autonomous cleaning.

The choice should start with route size, tank requirements, manoeuvrability and cleaning method.

Hako Scrubmaster B75 i FAQ

How much does the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i cost?

Hako does not publish one universal global list price. In Australia, public September 2026 retailer listings showed approximately A$98,989 for the TB 650 disc-brush version and A$109,769 for the WB 540 cylindrical version. Final pricing can vary by region, battery, dock, options, service and commercial agreement.

Is the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i fully autonomous?

It can autonomously repeat taught cleaning routes and use auto-fill-in for defined areas. However, complete unattended operation also depends on charging, water, wastewater, route conditions and the chosen docking configuration.

Can the B75 i be driven manually?

Yes. One of its major advantages is that it can also be used as a conventional walk-behind scrubber-drier using its extendable handle.

How do you program the B75 i?

An operator manually guides the machine through a new route. The machine records the cleaning journey so that it can later repeat the route autonomously.

What is auto-fill-in?

The operator manually defines an area perimeter and the B75 i then creates a cleaning strategy to systematically cover the enclosed area.

How large are the B75 i water tanks?

Hako publishes a 75 L solution tank and a 75 L recovery tank.

How long does the Hako B75 i battery last?

The published theoretical runtime is approximately 120–180 minutes depending on battery configuration.

How fast is the Scrubmaster B75 i?

Hako’s current brochure lists an autonomous maximum speed of approximately 3.6 km/h.

What is the B75 i cleaning width?

The disc-brush configuration has a 65 cm working width. The cylindrical configuration has an approximately 54 cm main working width and can reach approximately 80 cm with its side-broom arrangement.

How much floor can the B75 i clean per hour?

Hako publishes theoretical area performance of up to 2,340 m²/h for the disc version and 1,980 m²/h for the cylindrical version. Real productivity will be lower in most live environments because of turns, obstacles, traffic and servicing.

Does the B75 i sweep as well as scrub?

The cylindrical-brush configuration can combine sweeping and wet cleaning in one pass. The disc-brush version is primarily a scrubbing configuration.

Does the Scrubmaster B75 i have LiDAR?

Yes. Hako documents certified LiDAR sensors together with a 3D camera system and image-processing technology.

Is the B75 i safe around people?

It is designed for commercial autonomous operation around people and uses safety sensors, LiDAR, cameras, obstacle detection and protective zones. Hako’s current documentation references EN IEC 63327 conformity. Site-specific risk assessment and testing are still required.

Can the B75 i automatically charge itself?

Hako has developed a docking system designed to support autonomous charging as well as fresh-water filling and wastewater draining. Current regional availability should be confirmed with the supplier before purchase.

Can the B75 i automatically fill and empty its water tanks?

With the appropriate docking configuration, Hako describes automatic fresh-water filling and recovery-water drainage. Confirm that this dock is commercially available and included in your regional quote.

Can the B75 i clean carpets?

It is designed as a commercial scrubber-drier for hard-floor cleaning. Buyers with significant carpet requirements should compare multi-function robots designed to vacuum carpet as well.

Can the B75 i use elevators?

We did not find native elevator integration specified in Hako’s current global B75 i product documentation reviewed for this article. If multi-floor autonomous operation is required, obtain written confirmation of the proposed lift integration before purchase.

Can the B75 i work outdoors?

Hako positions the B75 i as a professional floor-cleaning machine for commercial and industrial environments. Do not assume rain or outdoor-weather capability without receiving the environmental and ingress limits for the exact quoted configuration.

What is the difference between B75 i TB and WB?

The TB configuration uses disc brushes and provides a 65 cm scrubbing width. The WB version uses a cylindrical brush system and can incorporate side brooms, allowing it to sweep loose debris while wet cleaning.

Does the B75 i provide cleaning reports?

Hako-Fleet-Management can provide operating information, machine status, location and performance records. Confirm exactly which reporting functionality and connectivity are included in your package.

What is the best alternative to the Hako B75 i?

It depends on the site. The Kärcher KIRA B 50 is a close high-capacity autonomous scrubber alternative; the Tennant X4 ROVR is more compact; Gausium Phantas and PUDU CC1 Pro are smaller multi-function cleaning robots.

Final Verdict: Should You Buy the Hako Scrubmaster B75 i?

Buy or pilot the Scrubmaster B75 i if you have substantial recurring hard-floor cleaning, enough open space for a 74.5 cm-wide machine, and a real opportunity to reallocate labour currently spent driving scrubber-driers.

Its biggest strength is not one sensor or AI feature.

It is the combination of a serious commercial cleaning platform—75 L tanks, disc or cylindrical brush systems and up to 2,340 m²/h theoretical output—with practical autonomous functionality and the ability to revert immediately to manual walk-behind operation.

That makes it less fragile operationally than a robot that is only useful when autonomous mode is available.

The trade-offs are meaningful. It is a large machine, published runtime is 120–180 minutes, full lights-out operation depends on docking and infrastructure, and public Australian pricing shows that this is a significant capital purchase rather than a low-cost cleaning robot.

For the right warehouse, factory, shopping centre, hospital or large commercial facility, those weaknesses may be acceptable because the B75 i targets one of the most repetitive tasks in professional cleaning: repeatedly covering the same hard-floor routes.

The correct buying path is therefore not to ask whether the B75 i is technologically impressive.

Ask whether it can complete your route, with your dirt, during your traffic conditions, with an intervention rate and total cost that beats your current cleaning process.

If it can, the B75 i is a serious candidate.
