What math are you doing here?

Robovacuums don't cost £150 an hour. If you buy one for £500 and run it every day for two years, you're paying ~70p per hour. Are there any cleaners who charge less than £1 per visit?

I was being hyperbolic because people seem to be overstating the cost of a cleaner.

I used to pay my Spainish cleaners about €20 euros a week for two cleaners. Granted that was while ago, but it was peanuts.

Also I'd rather have cleaner do it properly, than by a robovac that (as everyone says on the sibling comments) does half a job.
