Pros and cons
AIRROBO
Pros
- Flagship price $299 ranks 13 of 66 brands, so the top of the range stays affordable.
- Lidar is fitted, which matches 94.7% of the robot vacuum brands listed.
- The range pairs a self empty dock with 10,000 Pa of suction.
Cons
- Suction of 10,000 Pa places AIRROBO at 30 of 46, below the 11,500 Pa seen across the category.
- Warranty lasts 1 year, which is short for a machine with a dock.
- Markets are limited to US and CA, so buyers elsewhere face a harder buy.
Ewbank
Pros
- Entry price of £26.99 sits at the front of the brands compared, so the cheapest Ewbank machine is the lowest starting point on the table.
- The self-emptying robot brings a self-empty dock and lidar to a machine priced in the lower part of the ranking, with 150 minutes of runtime per run.
- One maker covers robot vacuum, stick and upright, where Philips covers robot vacuum and wet dry, so you can buy a robot and a cordless from the same brand.
Cons
- Suction tops out at 5,000 Pa, below the site median of 15,000 Pa and short of the front of the ranking.
- Support runs on help centre, email and phone, so live chat is not one of the listed routes.
- Cover of 2 years is modest for a machine sold with a self-empty dock.
Who each suits
AIRROBO
Who it suits
- Homeowners in US and CA who want a self emptying dock at a mid range price
- Buyers who value lidar navigation over raw suction figures
- People keeping spares on hand, since there is a spare parts shop
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers wanting the strongest suction in the category, where a higher ranked brand fits better
- Anyone outside US and CA who needs local support and returns
- Households that want sticks or uprights alongside a robot, where Philips or Ewbank cover more types
Ewbank
Who it suits
- Households in the UK who want a self-emptying robot with lidar without stretching to flagship prices.
- Shoppers who want the same maker to cover robots, sticks, uprights, wet-dry and handheld tools, since Ewbank covers robot vacuum, stick and upright.
- Buyers who value a long trading history and a support desk they can reach by phone, with help centre, email and phone listed.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a longer named robot range, who should compare HG4, HG2 Hydro TurboSlim, HG2 Hydro ProTurboSlim from Hoover first.
- Buyers after a cordless vacuum with an auto-empty system, since Daewoo Electricals lists one among its reference models.
- Anyone wanting only robot and wet-dry machines can see robot vacuum and wet dry from Philips, a narrower range than Ewbank's robot vacuum, stick and upright.

Questions about each
AIRROBO
How much does the AIRROBO range cost?+
The flagship model in the range is priced at $299, which sits well below the €1,311.06 top of the category. AIRROBO covers robot vacuum, and the models listed are M2, Q20+, L60+. The range is a one-off hardware purchase, so there is no ongoing fee listed for using the machine or its app.
How strong is the suction on AIRROBO robot vacuums?+
The flagship robot is rated at 10,000 Pa, which places AIRROBO at 30 of 46 brands on that measure. The category median is 11,500 Pa, so you are buying a mid ranking figure rather than a headline one. If suction on carpet matters most to you, a higher ranked brand is worth a look.
Ewbank
How much does the cheapest Ewbank vacuum cost?+
The range opens at £26.99, the lowest entry price among the brands compared on that measure. That figure belongs to the vacuum range rather than a single model, so you can spend at that level on a basic upright or handheld instead of the robot. The models named in the range are RV1AUTO, AIRSTORM 2-in-1 Cordless, MOTION Pet Upright.
What does the top of the Ewbank range cost?+
The flagship price is £219.99. Set against the entry price of £26.99, that gives you the width of the range as Ewbank publishes it, and it shows how much more the top of the line asks than the bottom. The self-empty dock and lidar sit on the robot side of that spread, which is where most of the difference is spent.
