Cleaning Robot FAQ for Canadian Businesses
-
Commercial cleaning robots in Canada typically range from $40,000 to $100,000+ to purchase outright. However, NorthRaaS offers a Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) model starting from around $1,500/month, eliminating the large upfront investment. This makes autonomous floor cleaning accessible for businesses of all sizes across the GTA and Ontario.
-
Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a subscription model where you pay a fixed monthly fee to use a commercial cleaning robot instead of buying one. NorthRaaS provides the robot, training, maintenance, and ongoing support — all included. It works like leasing but with full service, so you get predictable costs and zero maintenance headaches.
