Question 1

Do you deploy cleaning robots in Albany?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Service Robot Co. selects, finances, deploys, and services commercial cleaning robots across Albany and the rest of New York. We start with a free site assessment, recommend the scrubber or sweeper that fits your floor, and keep it serviced through a nationwide service engineer network.

Question 2

How much does a commercial cleaning robot cost?

Accepted Answer

Outright purchase runs roughly $22k–$96k per unit depending on size — a compact combo scrubber starts around $22k, a large-area scrubber around $90k–$96k. On Robotics-as-a-Service, rentals run roughly $600–$2,000 per month with deployment and service folded in. These are illustrative market ranges, not quotes; we confirm the real number for your floor in a quote.

Question 3

Is it cheaper to rent (RaaS) or buy a cleaning robot?

Accepted Answer

For most facilities, renting on RaaS is cheaper in practice because it folds in deployment, service, parts, and a backup unit, and moves the downtime risk to the vendor. Buying is only cheaper per cleaning-hour at very high utilization, once your team can carry the maintenance and the model is stable. The purchase price is the small part of total cost of ownership.

Question 4

How much labor does a cleaning robot actually save?

Accepted Answer

On the open-floor portion of the job, a robot on RaaS (~$600–$900/month for a mid-size unit) runs roughly 4–6× cheaper than a full-time overnight cleaner (~$3,500–$4,500/month all-in). The robot covers the repetitive 70–80% of floor area so your crew spends its hours on restrooms, edges, and detail. These are illustrative ranges, not a guaranteed result.

Question 5

Which cleaning robot is best?

Accepted Answer

There is no single best — it depends on your floor. Large open slabs favor a wide, large-area scrubber; mixed retail and lobbies favor a compact combo scrubber-vac. We are OEM-neutral and pick the right one for your surface, square footage, and schedule on a site walkthrough.

Question 6

Can a cleaning robot run overnight without staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It cleans a mapped area on a schedule and self-docks to recharge and refill, so it runs overnight or alongside your crew without supervision. It still needs a local hand to empty, refill, and handle the weekly basics — we set the plan and keep the unit serviced so it runs reliably.

Question 7

What floors can a commercial cleaning robot handle?

Accepted Answer

Scrubbers handle large hard floors — sealed concrete, tile, vinyl, and polished stone; sweepers and vacuums handle dry debris and carpet. A unit built for one surface struggles on another, so we match the machine to your real floor on a walkthrough rather than assuming one robot fits every surface.
