How Botora selects the technology it supports

There’s a lot of home tech out there. Some of it is genuinely helpful. A lot of it looks good on a spec sheet, then becomes annoying the second it lands in a real home.

Botora is built as a platform for home robotics and smart appliances that are actually worth using. We don’t try to stock everything. We focus on products our team has reviewed, tested, and genuinely rates — then we back them with proper support in Australia.

Here’s how we choose what we support.

We pick products that solve a real job at home

First question we ask is simple: what does this take off your plate?

If a product doesn’t clearly save time, reduce effort, or make home maintenance easier, it’s probably not worth adding to the platform. We look for tech that fits into everyday life — not gadgets you’ll stop using after two weeks.

Our team tests it, not just reads the brochure

Marketing claims are easy. Real performance is what matters.

Before we support a product, our team goes deeper than the surface-level specs. We look at how it performs in the situations people actually deal with — different home layouts, real lawns, real obstacles, real routines.

We also look for products that feel stable and well-built.

We prioritise products that suit Australian homes

Australia is its own environment. Different weather, different yards, different expectations.

We look for products that make sense for local conditions — whether that’s outdoor use, heat, changing seasons, or the kind of lawns and backyards most Australian households have.

Support matters as much as the product

The best product in the world still needs support when something doesn’t go to plan — setup questions, troubleshooting, maintenance, updates, parts.

One of Botora’s strengths is support across the full journey:

• pre-sale guidance (so you buy the right thing)
• help during setup and early use
• ongoing post-sale support if anything comes up

We’ve got a strong technical team behind the platform, and we also have local coverage across Australia to support customers when there’s an issue.

By 2026, people will care less about “smart features” and more about whether the product is supported properly. That’s the difference between a device that becomes essential and one that ends up in a cupboard.

 

Botora isn’t about chasing every new release. It’s about building a platform of products we genuinely believe in — because our team has done the work, tested them properly, and can support customers locally.

That’s how we keep the platform practical, trustworthy, and built for Australian homes.
