PUDU ET1 price: package cost, leasing and payback

An ET1 catalogue price is not the total deployment cost. A quote should separate the robot, station variant, installation, commissioning and support. Only then can you compare purchase or finance offers and estimate whether the process change produces positive savings.

Reference price: what the listing establishes

JK Robotik — ET1, Germany, 43010020 lists the ET1 at EUR 11,950 excluding VAT and shipping (item 43010020; checked 13 October 2026). The seller describes the 8-in-1 station as optional. Do not assume that the displayed amount includes the station, utilities and commissioning. A complete deployment in your country requires a separate quote.

We do not convert this figure into an assumed local selling price or a universal instalment. For specifications and physical fit, use the ET1 profile.

Ask for two comparable quotations

Use the same period, currency, tax basis and cleaning standard. Do not add the full purchase price to the instalments for the same machine. Financing terms and responsibility for parts and downtime must come from the actual offer.

Example: recovered time versus cash savings

This illustrates the calculation; it is not an ET1 performance forecast. Assume an upfront cost of 15,000 in a chosen currency, 26 working days per month, hourly cost of 20 and recurring costs of 250 per month. Net hours are measured after subtracting robot care and rework.

Monthly savings = 26 × net hours × 20 − 250. Simple payback = 15,000 ÷ positive monthly savings. Positive savings require more than 0.481 net hours per day, about 29 minutes. With zero or negative savings, there is no positive simple payback.

Recovered time does not always become an avoided expense. If staffing schedules and employment costs remain unchanged, report the operational benefit separately. This simple model excludes discounting, financing, residual value and changing costs. For leasing, build cash flows from the actual payment schedule.

Data to collect before deciding

• Record the current method and cleaning time across a representative week.
• During the ET1 trial, measure preparation, interventions, refilling, emptying, cleaning and rework.
• Keep the same acceptance standard. Do not compare a cheaper cycle that still needs extra work to pass.
• Calculate a weaker case with fewer operating days, more operator work and downtime. If only the best case works, resolve the assumptions before ordering.

A product listing provides a route to enquire about that model. It does not confirm stock, delivery to your country or service at your address. Request a written lead time, the service provider’s name, response times and replacement-equipment terms.

Before requesting a quote, also compare site fit: ET1 vs CC1.
