Miele RX-MB4 Magnetic Tape Strips for Scout RX1 Robotic Vacuum

Product Overview

The Miele RX-MB4 Magnetic Tape Strips for Scout RX1 Robotic Vacuum offer a simple and effective way to control your robotic vacuum’s cleaning path. Designed exclusively for the Miele Scout RX1, these magnetic strips allow you to set virtual boundaries—blocking off areas you want your vacuum to avoid, such as pet bowls, cables, or delicate rugs.

Easy to cut and install, the RX-MB4 tape strips are the perfect solution for customizing your cleaning zones without using electronic apps or remotes. Simply place the strips where you want to limit access, and the robot automatically detects and avoids the area.

Available from Authorized Miele Dealer Ace Vacuums, these genuine OEM strips ensure perfect compatibility and high performance for your Miele Scout RX1.

• Customizable Cleaning Boundaries – Create no-go zones for your Miele Scout RX1 using magnetic force.

• Easy to Install and Adjust – Cut to length and place on any surface where boundary control is needed.

• Non-Electronic Control – No need for Wi-Fi, apps, or settings—just place the strip, and your vacuum responds.

What Makes the Model Stand Out

The Miele RX-MB4 Magnetic Tape Strips are a no-fuss solution for smart boundary control, offering homeowners an effortless way to manage where their Miele Scout RX1 can or cannot clean. Unlike app-based or digitally controlled alternatives, these physical magnetic strips require no setup, syncing, or connectivity—just place them down and go.

Because they're engineered specifically by Miele, performance is guaranteed when paired with the Scout RX1. Purchasing through Authorized Miele Dealer Ace Vacuums ensures you receive genuine OEM quality backed by warranty and expert support.
