I suppose for a large house, $500/mo. is what one would pay for maid service.
I don’t believe one robot can effectively clean piss from the corner behind the toilet, AND do laundry, AND clean windows, AND dust, AND clean a shower head, AND clean a refrigerator, etc., etc.
Imagine a robot collecting everything out of a fridge onto a counter, removing the glass shelves, cleaning them, cleaning the inside of the fridge, and then putting everything back without breaking anything, and doing it in 30 minutes. Not happening. Even if it were done completely by remote control, I don’t think it could do it.
These things are not anywhere close to a replacement for a human, but they’ll keep pushing it.
$500 sounds about right for weekly maid service. That means the base price of the robot not including subscription fees, power, repairs, etc. would get you ~3 years of maid service. If the subscription is an extra $500/mo, that’s more than 6 years of maid service.
If your maid service goes out of business, you just find a new one. What are the odds this company will still be around in 3 years? 6 years? Not a wager I’d be willing to make.
