Just go minimalist. I survived on one suitcase and one handcarry full of stuff for two years on a work assignment. Electric supply would get cut off for a week or so, after a storm due to fallen trees. And it reinforces that one does not need much things to live day by day.
Use simple portable furniture that are easy to maintain. Wash floor involves no mopping, just throw water on floor and sweep water into drainage.....practise camping within a house. Can reconfigure the layout easily.
If you get a robot cleaner, you have to maintain the robot cleaner, worry that it breaks down, etc, etc, more burdern, more expenses.
I did that in my Uni years moving from residence to apartment & vice versa during the summer breaks. Had an air mattress for a bed, got my furniture from the Salvation army or 2nd hand from other students.
However that is in the past. When you have reached my age, you accumulate plenty of barang, barang & it would be a waste to throw away e.g. teak furniture, ergonomic desk, Herman Miller chair, computers, book collection, TV, kitchen appliances, ...
No choice, one must invest in cleaning systems like a steam mop, vacum cleaner, .. etc. If one does not have a maid , must look at automated systems like a robot cleaner. The amount I save doing without a maid can easily pay for the automation devices. However I am looking at a more long term solution such as moving out of Spore.
In places like Thailand a part-time maid is relatively cheap. They'll come in during the day to do the cleaning & cooking. It's also cheaper to get a motor cycle or car which makes it easier to get around to do errands like buying groceries.
