PUDU ET1: price, specifications and availability in Europe

PUDU ET1 price — quick answer: PUDU does not publish a public list price for ET1. The official product page routes buyers to “Contact Us” and “Request a Demo”, so this is a B2B quote-driven purchase through PUDU or a partner. If you find a number elsewhere, verify whether it includes the robot, 8-in-1 dock, installation, shipping, service and consumables.

PUDU officially launched ET1 on 12 August 2026 as the first product in its E Series, targeting roughly 100–800 m² commercial spaces such as convenience retail, pharmacies, restaurants, economy hotels and offices—sites where a large scrubber-dryer can be too bulky.

PUDU ET1 key specifications

20 kPa suction vs 5,000 Pa downward pressure

PUDU’s launch material refers to up to 20 kPa suction for liquid/debris recovery. Separately, the official product page states 5,000 Pa of downward roller pressure. These are not competing suction figures. Downward pressure describes how the scrubbing roller is pressed into the floor; suction relates to recovery of water and debris.

Four cleaning modes in one platform

ET1 combines sweeping, scrubbing, vacuuming and dust-mopping. Its front-sweep / rear-scrub layout is intended to collect dry debris before wet scrubbing. In small retail or hospitality spaces, reducing separate cleaning passes can matter more than a headline motor specification.

The 8-in-1 dock

According to PUDU, the station automates charging, roller cleaning, squeegee rinsing, roller spin-drying, clean-water refill, waste-water drainage, detergent dosing and water heating. That can reduce daily labour, but it is not zero-maintenance: rollers, brushes, tanks, squeegees, filters and the dock still need inspection and periodic cleaning.

AI Magic Cleaning: what to validate in a demo

PUDU describes automatic mapping, floor/stain recognition, cleaning heatmaps and adaptive control of travel speed, roller speed and water output. ET1 can lift the scrubbing roller at carpet edges and lift sweeping brushes around liquid spills. These are useful claims, but an application decision should be based on a demo using your floor type, typical stains and normal customer traffic.

Can ET1 deliver ROI?

Without a public price, a credible ROI calculation must start with a quote. Separate hardware from recurring costs: robot, station, any plumbing work, detergent, rollers and brushes, filters, spares, warranty, service and software/fleet fees. Then compare the total with the labour hours actually removed after accounting for staging and interventions.

Best fit

• roughly 100–800 m² commercial sites where large scrubbers are awkward
• layouts with passages around 50 cm or wider
• retail, offices, clinics, economy hotels and selected food-service spaces
• sites where automated docking can reduce operator touch time
• multi-site chains that can standardise one cleaning process

Questions to ask PUDU or an integrator

• complete robot + dock price and shipping/tax scope
• water/drain requirements for the selected station setup
• consumable and spare-part pricing
• warranty and service response time in your country
• software or fleet subscription fees
• measured productivity on your actual floor during a demo
• intervention workflow and remote-support model

RoboMorrow has not yet tested ET1 in RoboMorrow Labs. Productivity, temperature, pressure and runtime figures are manufacturer claims and should be validated in the target site.

Where ET1 makes the most sense

PUDU positions ET1 for roughly 100–800 m² environments such as convenience stores, pharmacies, chain restaurants, economy hotels and offices. This is a segment where a larger scrubber robot may be physically awkward while a manual scrubber still consumes operator time. The approximately 50 cm minimum passage requirement and 58 cm body height are therefore practical deployment variables, not minor spec-sheet details.

The strongest business case is likely where floors are cleaned frequently, routes repeat and staff lose time to several short cleaning sessions per day. A single small office cleaned once in the evening may justify automation less easily than a chain of similar stores where the operating procedure can be standardised.

What the 8-in-1 dock changes

The dock is more than a charger. PUDU lists auto charging, roller cleaning, squeegee rinsing, roller spin-drying, clean-water refill, waste-water drainage, detergent dosing and water heating. That matters for labour economics because a commercial robot loses much of its value if a worker must manually service multiple tanks and cleaning components after every cycle.

How to buy ET1 without a public list price

No public list price does not mean the robot is unavailable. PUDU uses a quote-based sales route and partners. Ask for robot and dock pricing separately, warranty, deployment and mapping cost, training, consumables, approved chemicals, service SLA and any recurring software fees. Only then can ET1 be compared fairly with manual labour or another cleaning robot.

Deployment limits to validate in a pilot

• tight turns around checkout areas and furniture
• transitions between different floor materials
• cables, mats and movable chairs
• time spent returning to and servicing the dock
• dirty-water recovery under real soil conditions
• how often manual component cleaning is still required
• safe operation while customers or staff are moving nearby

The quoted 300–720 m²/h is a manufacturer performance figure and should not be converted directly into labour savings. Real productivity depends on obstacles, turning, traffic, soil level and dock servicing. A paid pilot on the actual site is the strongest procurement test.

Dock installation can decide whether the project works

In a compact commercial site, the dock can be the critical system component. Before ordering, confirm power, space, water and drain requirements for the selected configuration, distance from cleaning zones and whether the robot can reach it without locked doors, unsuitable thresholds or narrow bottlenecks. “8-in-1” describes functions; it does not replace a site plan.

Where the 100–800 m² positioning makes sense

PUDU positions ET1 for compact commercial spaces. The strongest fit is a location with repeatable daily floor-cleaning demand that is too small for a ride-on machine or a much larger autonomous scrubber: a shop, lobby, smaller hotel, clinic, office or showroom. Very small sites should still compare automation against a manual walk-behind machine, while large facilities should benchmark ET1 against larger PUDU/Gausium platforms.

300–720 m²/h is not a guaranteed shift result

Throughput depends on mode, working width, obstacle density and turn frequency. We do not multiply the maximum square-metres-per-hour figure by battery runtime and call that autonomous daily capacity. A pilot should measure real completed area without intervention, dock-service time and recovery from common obstacles.

Optional 21.5-inch display

The optional display can make sense in retail or hospitality where the robot doubles as an information surface. It should not be mixed into the core cleaning ROI by default. Ask for a cleaning-only quotation and a separate display configuration.
