"From $1,290 a month" appears in our announcement bar, so it is fair to explain where that number comes from. It is a real number. It is also the entry point of a range, not a flat rate.
What the payment covers
- The platform itself, depreciated over a 36-month term on a $41,900 machine with a 30 % residual.
- Scheduled maintenance, including one annual on-site service visit.
- Firmware updates and the parts that wear — pads, belts, battery health checks.
- Replacement cover: if a unit is down for more than five business days, a loaner ships.
What it does not cover
Consumables beyond normal wear, damage from misuse, and the integration work to fit the robot to your floor. That last one is usually the largest line item in a deployment and it is not a financing question — it is an engineering one, and we quote it separately so you can see it.
The numbers people ask about
- Term. 24, 36 or 48 months. Longer term, lower payment, and a lower buy-out at the end.
- Deposit. First and last month, nothing else for buyers with a trading history.
- Usage. 2,000 operating hours a year; overage is billed at a published hourly rate rather than a penalty.
- Buy-out. 22 % of original list at month 36, dropping to 10 % at month 48.
A lease is a way to buy optionality, not a way to get a cheaper robot.
If you are running a pilot and expect to scale to five units, lease the first one and buy the rest. If you already know the process works, buying is cheaper over any horizon longer than 30 months.
