Hi! I’ve had some experience with commercial cleaning robots in a mid-sized office environment, and I can share a few observations. Effectiveness really depends on the type of space and the tasks you need. For open areas with hard floors, commercial cleaning robots can be surprisingly efficient and consistent, often handling daily cleaning without much supervision. They are generally reliable, though occasional maintenance like sensor cleaning or software updates is necessary.
In terms of cost-effectiveness, they can reduce labor hours, but the upfront investment is significant. Some limitations include tight corners, stairs, and carpeted areas, which often still require human staff.
Overall, if your office has large open spaces, these robots can save time and supplement your team, but they usually don’t replace staff entirely.
