Mitch Said Try This One. The C30 Agreed.

Sometimes your next demo comes from an email.

Sometimes it comes from a cold call.

And sometimes a guy you just did a demo for basically says:

“You need to go try this building too.”

That is how we ended up at The Plaza at Hazeltine in Chaska.

After working with Mitch at Avalon Apartments, he told us The Plaza at Hazeltine would probably be another really good fit for the CleanPro C30.

Mitch had already seen what the robot could do, understood where it made sense, and apparently decided he was going to start helping us scout apartment buildings.

We are completely okay with that.

Thanks, Mitch.

Once we got there and started walking the property, it was pretty easy to understand why he sent us.

The building had the kind of layout we keep seeing work really well for the C30: long carpeted hallways, common areas, some harder-floor sections, turns, apartment doors, furniture, and all the normal little variables you get in an actual occupied building.

Not an empty showroom.

Not a perfectly straight test lane.

A real apartment property.

Exactly what we want.

We started the same way we normally do by walking the first floor, talking through which areas made the most sense, building the map, and then letting the C30 start figuring out its new surroundings.

There is always something funny about the first few minutes of a demo because everyone is kind of watching the robot like it is the new employee on its first day.

“Okay little guy… let’s see what you’ve got.”

We ran it through the common spaces first, which gave it some more open areas, furniture, tables, different flooring, and tighter spots to work around. Then we sent it toward the hallways, and that is where the C30 started looking very comfortable.

Long.

Carpeted.

Repeatable.

Quiet.

Basically C30 heaven.

One of the things that continues to stand out with this robot in apartments is just how quiet it is. That matters more than people realize when residents are living ten feet away from the route.

Nobody wants to hear something that sounds like a shop vac doing laps outside their apartment at night.

The C30 just cruises along doing its thing.

Sweep.

Vacuum.

Dust-mop.

Keep moving.

And let the property staff deal with the other hundred things happening in the building.

That is the use case we keep seeing over and over again.

The robot is not there because vacuuming is impossible.

It is there because vacuuming the same hallway again and again is probably not the best use of a person’s time when they have resident requests, maintenance issues, move-ins, deliveries, common areas, emergencies, and everything else that comes with running an apartment property.

And this demo gave us some pretty good numbers to back that up.

On one of its first-floor runs, the C30 cleaned 3,212 square feet in 24 minutes and 51 seconds, finished with 96% coverage, and used only 12% of its battery.

The report also showed approximately 7,755 square feet per hour of work efficiency.

Not bad for the new guy.

And that is when the conversation gets more interesting.

Because now it is no longer:

“Can the robot clean the hallway?”

We already know that.

Now it becomes:

How often should it run?

What other routes could we add?

How much repetitive floor work could this remove from the staff’s day?

What does this look like over a week?

Over a month?

Across more floors?

Across more properties?

Those are much better questions.

And the more apartment buildings we get into, the more we learn.

We have now put these robots through Avalon, Tree Tops, Revel, Boutique 28, Bristol Village, Jeffers Waterfront, Heritage Lake, and plenty of other apartment environments along the way, and every single one gives us another little piece of the puzzle.

Some have huge hallways.

Some have weird corners.

Some have elevators we want to integrate.

Some want the robot running overnight.

Some want it running multiple times throughout the day.

Some have almost all carpet.

Some give us mixed flooring.

And every building gives us another chance to get a little better at figuring out what the right setup actually looks like.

That is probably one of the coolest parts of what we are building.

We are not sitting in an office guessing how these robots might work in apartments.

We are actually putting them in apartments.

Mapping the routes.

Watching what happens.

Adjusting things.

Learning.

Then taking what we learned into the next building.

The Plaza at Hazeltine was another good one.

And once again, the C30 made a pretty strong argument for itself.

3,212 square feet.
24 minutes and 51 seconds.
96% coverage.
12% battery.

All because Mitch told us:

“You should try this place.”

Turns out he knows a thing or two.

Keep the referrals coming, Mitch.
