Also, you mention that the fridge has a free alternative -- so does sweepy!  Just command your dupes to sweep and mop.

I guess you're right, I can't say the opposite.

It's just that I loved this bot so much... It would be sad to see people not using it in the long run because of its cost as already is the case of fridges that I rarely see connected to a power grid. When the power cost of Sweepy becomes irrelevant it could theoretically be skipped in favor of sweeper + loader.

I figure if you're gonna build a fridge, build it where the dupes are gonna eat and plug it in.  I've always connected my fridges, though I don't always build 'em.  I love Sweepy too, so I try and keep at least one around now.  The only time I really worry about power costs is when I'm doing heat management, refining, or industrial-scale shipping/automation.
