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.
Lilin
Pros
- Lidar navigation and a self empty dock are both yes, so rooms are mapped and the bin is emptied at the dock.
- The entry robot is €109 and the flagship is €340, so the whole ladder stays under the category midpoints.
- A spare parts shop is yes, so brushes, filters and pads are available to G7, T9, C7 owners after the warranty ends.
Cons
- Support runs on email only, so there is no phone line or live chat route when something breaks.
- Peak suction of 6,500 Pa sits below the robot vacuum median of 11,500 Pa, so it trails the field on raw lift.
- The range covers robot vacuum, handheld and wet dry, with no stick or upright models, unlike Ewbank and Daewoo Electricals.
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
Lilin
Who it suits
- First time robot buyers who want lidar mapping and a self empty dock at entry level pricing.
- Households that keep machines for years, backed by 3 years of warranty and a spare parts shop.
- Buyers in the served markets AU, AT and BE who are happy to order direct from a German entity.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want stick or upright models, since Ewbank and Daewoo Electricals list robot vacuum, stick and upright and robot vacuum, stick and upright, a wider mix than robot vacuum, handheld and wet dry.
- Buyers who need phone or live chat help, since support runs on email only and a Philips purchase is the better first question for a retailer's help desk.

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.
Lilin
How much does a Lilin robot vacuum cost?+
The entry robot is €109 and the top model is €340, both sold as a single payment rather than a plan. The entry figure sits under the robot vacuum midpoint of €145.84, so a first robot does not mean settling for the bare minimum.
Is there a renewal price or a monthly charge after buying?+
No. Lilin lists a price per machine, so the entry robot at €109 and the flagship at €340 are paid once and nothing renews afterwards. The only ongoing spending is upkeep, meaning filters, brushes and mop pads, and a spare parts shop is available for those items.
