Where it works
Shopping centres, offices and mixed commercial floors, handling both hard surfaces and carpet on scheduled routes.
Mixed-surface capability is worth more commercially than it sounds. A facility manager running one machine instead of two halves the vendor relationships, the training and the scheduling, and that convenience is what the middle of the price range is actually selling.

What it means to own one
A middle-rate machine with broad placement options is the most flexible thing a fleet can hold. It fits more buildings than a specialist, which shows up directly in how much of the year it stays placed.
Gausium also publishes its own return-on-investment material aimed at the facilities buying the machines. Reading that alongside the rental rate is instructive: the same number is presented as a saving to one party and, on this page, as revenue to the other.
