Three ways to put a cleaning robot to work.

Perth Robots offers three commercial models for a cleaning robot in Perth: Robot as a Service (RaaS), our primary model, plus lease-to-own and outright purchase. RaaS bundles service, support and software into one monthly cost, from as little as $50 a day, with lower upfront commitment than buying outright. All are backed by local WA service.

The three models, compared.

Same robots, same WA service, three ways to pay. RaaS bundles the most into one monthly cost and asks the least up front; outright costs least over the long run if you own it. Here is exactly what each one includes.

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, all 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.

Why Perth Robots

Honest credibility, not just claims.

Engineering-led.

Built by someone who has engineered advanced systems and operated them in demanding environments. We know what these machines can and can't do.

WA-based service, not a reseller.

We deploy and service every unit ourselves across WA. If a robot's down at 2am on a mine site, that's on us, in the same time zone.

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.

FAQ · Commercial models

Common questions.

What is robot as a service?
A flat monthly subscription that includes the cleaning robot, its service, support and software updates, from as little as $50 a day (around $1,520 a month). No capital purchase, and the robot runs as often as you need.
How much does a commercial cleaning robot cost in Australia?
Plans start from as little as $50 a day across subscription and lease-to-own. RaaS bills as a flat monthly subscription (about $1,520 a month) and the robot runs as often as you need. Outright purchase is quoted at survey on the model that suits your site.
Can I cancel a RaaS subscription?
RaaS is designed as a low-commitment option; terms are explained up front before you commit.
Do I own the robot?
With lease-to-own you own it at the end of the term; with outright purchase you own it from day one; with RaaS it stays a subscription.
Do I get newer robots as the technology improves?
On RaaS, yes. Because you are subscribing to the outcome rather than owning a fixed machine, your subscription keeps you on current-generation hardware. As the technology improves, you move onto newer models, so performance stays maximised without a fresh purchase. Lease-to-own and outright leave you owning the specific unit you signed for.
What's included in the monthly cost?
The robot, servicing, support and software updates; WA-based.
Is renting or buying better?
Renting (RaaS) is lower risk and lower commitment; buying is lower long-run cost for stable single-site use; lease-to-own sits between. The right choice depends on your budget and how settled the deployment is.
