Describe the cleaning environment
For robot vacuums, describe the floor surfaces, room layout and areas the machine should avoid. Note changes in floor level and spaces under furniture. If a model includes a dock, measure the proposed location and confirm the power and clearance requirements from its instructions. Compare the equipment supplied with each model rather than assuming all docks have the same functions.
Budget for ongoing use
Ask which consumables and maintenance tasks apply to the selected machine. Brushes, filters and other replacement items should be matched to the exact model. Confirm app and network requirements before ordering for a workplace. Educational robot kits belong in a separate enquiry: their assembly, learning activity and supervision requirements are different from those of a household cleaning appliance.
Prepare the enquiry
For robot vacuums and educational robotics, send the selected product reference, quantity and delivery area together. Add photographs, dimensions or a configuration list where they explain the requirement. Separate essential features from preferences so alternatives can be assessed properly. Review the final quotation against that brief, including VAT treatment, included components, additional work and the proposed delivery arrangement.
