Is it expensive/hard to maintain?

I've been testing my new Botvac80 the past couple days. On the first few cleaning runs the dust bin fills up and I have to take it out and clean it (very quick and easy) plus clean the filter and possibly the brush (takes 5min or less) Shouldn't be expensive to maintain if the filter lasts several months with regular cleaning, but only time will tell. Right now extra filters are not in stock and it might be quite sometime before the price comes down on them too. Hopefully the brush and battery will last a long time too and not need expensive replacement, but that too only time will tell.

Whether it is run on propane or electric I would recommend having it serviced at least once a year. This way you can potentially catch any minor problems before they escalate into a bigger more expensive issue.

Not too hard. The more often you clean the grease and residue, the easier it should be.

No its not difficult to clean, if you have purchased or thinking about it.. very good choice.

Yes it's the only maintenance required and way to do that is to push up on the tiny metal pin at the very bottom of the site glass, the tank needs to be pressurized. I do have to add that my compressor stopped working after the first use. The auto stop failed a d now I have to use it on the constant run mode

I love mine and honestly as long as you keep it clean after using it, then that's the biggest maintenance there is. I recommend this 99%

Lol im afraid not some things require a bit of work. But it will help .. and it will help keep one if you have it .

No. And the construction process was arduous but worth it. It took me about give hours to put it together. So budget your time/cost benefit analysis accordingly.

No it is not worth spending the money it cost! We replaced the belts several weeks ago and still not machine is not completely ready to use. Another words you will do the Maintenance, A cheaper one for home might be better, cause getting the gymn is not always easy!

Not well. The whole thing is not the best quality. Worked ok for a while but get hard to keep clean.

We clean out the leftovers (old maids, etc) with each batch but only do a thorough cleaning every 3-4 times we use it. Its kind of a pain to clean but we feel it's worth it.

I've used this product about once per year fir the last 3 years. I don't see why you can't use it as maintenance, but I'm not sure it will be very effective. It's just my opinion, but I'd even rather use an entire treatment as directed every few months than do a strip per week.

It is relatively labor intensive, what with heating up and cooling off the milk. Whether it's cost effective depends on how much you spend on your milk.

In theory anything can be replaced. The question is, is it worth it? Many things can be fixed but we live in a throw away society and it is often not cost effective. Let's hope you don't have to find out.

Not really. Only if you don't clean it out on a timely manner. It was a worthwhile buy got my needs.
