Reference Price

No confirmed retail price from any source checked. xLean's Kickstarter campaign (April 21–June 20, 2026) raised $2,112,838 from 2,019 backers against a $100,000 goal; its early-tester program used a refundable $50 deposit rather than a full purchase price. The official site currently offers preorders with a "Free Shipping Now" promotion but no listed dollar amount in the sources checked — treat any specific price seen elsewhere as unverified until confirmed on xlean.ai directly.

Sensors & Hardware

The TR1 switches between autonomous robot mode and manual handheld mode: a retractable LiDAR puck detaches so a wand attachment can be added, while the same roller-mop-and-vacuum system works in both. Autonomous navigation uses 360° LiDAR, an RGB-D camera, and an AI chip, with carpet detection and recognition of 400+ object types. Battery life and dustbin capacity are undisclosed.

Insights

xLean's Kickstarter campaign for the TR1 raised $2,112,838 from 2,019 backers against a $100,000 goal — a real, verified crowdfunding milestone, not a marketing claim. As a still-shipping, early-tester-stage product, battery life, dustbin capacity, and a firm retail price remain undisclosed.

Firmware & Community

Specs sourced from xLean Robotics' own site (xlean.ai), its Kickstarter campaign page, and TechRadar's January 2026 hands-on coverage, as of September 2026. Battery life, dustbin capacity, and a firm retail price are not published by xLean and were not found in press coverage checked — these are omitted rather than estimated. As a crowdfunded, still-shipping-to-early-testers product, real-world performance and final specs may differ from what's advertised. robotindex does not sell this product.
