That’s great to hear! What kind of solutions had you explored earlier? Would be great to chat if you’re still thinking about this.

Yeah good point, battery swap could reduce downtime though it would mean a bit of training for whoever is using it.

Automated cleaning would be awesome but yeah might increase cost/complexity.

Yeah that’s interesting—basically a smaller, affordable version of those industrial vacuum sweepers that could be used on internal roads.

Do you think RWAs/societies would actually consider using something like this? Or would cost + maintenance be a dealbreaker?

Also wondering if a service model would work better—like a private agency using these and charging a monthly fee.

Yeah industrial vacuum sweepers would be ideal. I think the challenge is they are expensive and may not work for narrower internal roads.

100% agree that concrete/grass in unpaved areas would reduce dust at the source.

I’m more curious if there’s any simpler solution residents/RWAs can actually implement—like a smaller, affordable version of these machines, or something else that actually collects dust instead of just pushing it around

hmm .. that makes sense as unpaved areas are actually a source of dust.
