Three ways to put a cleaning robot to work.

Most robot suppliers offer one way to pay. Perth Robots offers three — subscription, lease-to-own, or outright purchase — so the commercial terms fit how your business actually budgets, not the other way around. Every option starts from as little as $50 a day and is backed by local WA service.

The three models.

RaaS is the lowest-commitment way in and the way most operators start. Lease-to-buy spreads the cost toward eventual ownership. Outright purchase has the lowest long-run cost for a stable single-site deployment.

Lease-to-buy

From as little as $50 a day

A two to four year term where your payments build toward ownership. You own the robot outright at the end of the term. It suits operators who want the robot on the balance sheet eventually but prefer to spread the cost and prove the value first.

Best for: businesses that want to own the asset but spread the cost over time.

Outright purchase + optional Care Plan

Quoted at survey

Buy the robot outright as a capital purchase, with an optional ongoing Care Plan covering service, support and software. Lowest long-run cost per unit for a stable, single-site deployment, with full ownership from day one. We quote outright purchase on the model that suits your site, at survey.

Best for: established sites with capital budget that want the lowest long-term cost and full ownership.

How they compare.

Same robots, same service, three commercial shapes.

Model Commitment Ownership What's included Best for
RaaS · from $50/day Low — flat monthly subscription Stays a subscription Robot, servicing, support and software updates; run as often as you need Predictable opex, low-risk starts, multi-site rollouts
Lease-to-buy · from $50/day Medium — 2 to 4 year term You own it at end of term Robot plus servicing across the term; ownership transfers at end Operators who want to own the asset but spread the cost
Outright purchase Capital purchase You own it from day one Robot only; optional Care Plan covers ongoing service, support and software Stable single-site deployments with capital budget
The differentiator

What most suppliers won't offer.

Most cleaning-robot suppliers force you into one commercial shape — subscription only, or sales only. Perth Robots lets you choose all three, so the commercial fit matches your budget, not the other way around. Same principle as our multi-OEM fleet: the best match for your situation, not whatever we happen to sell.

Most suppliers: Subscription only Most suppliers: Sales only Perth Robots: All three

RaaS vs hiring another cleaner.

Compared with hiring another cleaner, a robot on RaaS has no recruitment, no sick days and no roster gaps — at a predictable flat monthly cost. A typical site (15 floor-cleaning hours/week at $50/hr) saves about $20,800 a year and frees roughly 780 hours for detail work. Run the numbers for your site.

Multi-OEM, honest advice.

We recommend the right robot for your site, not the only one we carry.

Low-risk by design.

RaaS is a flat monthly subscription, not a capital gamble — the risk sits with us. Run the robot as often as you need.
