Our verdict on each
Delonghi
De'Longhi suits households that want a single maker covering espresso, bean to cup, pod and drip machines. Its 3 year warranty, a grinder inside the flagship automatics and support across email, chat and phone make it a steady choice for US kitchens planning more than a single purchase.
Xiaomi
Xiaomi suits Romanian households that want a single brand account across floor care, air and kitchen kit, and the flagship robot adds a self-empty dock with a 10 mm mop lift. Robot specs sit mid-pack rather than at the very top, and support runs on email, chat and phone.

Pros and cons
Delonghi
Pros
- A grinder is built into the flagship automatic, so no separate grinder is needed on the worktop.
- Coverage spans espresso, bean to cup, pod, drip and grinder options, more types than espresso, drip and grinder at Gastroback or bean to cup and espresso at Philips.
- Cover runs 3 years and a spare parts shop is available for replacements afterwards.
Cons
- The flagship reaches $2,499.95, so the top of the range sits far above the $549.95 entry point.
- Availability is limited to US, a single market, so the $2,499.95 flagship and its warranty are quoted for that market alone.
- Daewoo Electricals and Gastroback both list drip and espresso machines in drip, espresso and grinder and espresso, drip and grinder, covering the simpler end where De'Longhi's range starts higher at $549.95.
Xiaomi
Pros
- The flagship robot pairs a self-empty dock with a 10 mm mop lift, so carpets are handled without swapping tools.
- Lidar navigation on the flagship robot, in line with 94.7% of tracked robot vacuum brands.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is not limited to email when something goes wrong.
Cons
- Mop lift of 10 mm places Xiaomi 10 of 12 on that measure, the lowest of its tracked rankings.
- Peak suction of 10,000 Pa sits under the category median of 15,000 Pa and ranks 30 of 46.
- The flagship RON 2,339 ranks 34 of 66 on price, so the top of the range is not the cheap option.
Who each suits
Delonghi
Who it suits
- Households that want espresso, bean to cup, pod and drip from a single maker.
- Shoppers in the US market who want a 3 year warranty and a spare parts shop.
- Buyers who want the grinder inside the machine, as the flagship automatic has one built in.
Who should look elsewhere
- Drinkers after pod machines alone, since Philips lists bean to cup and espresso and De'Longhi's pod route runs on nespresso original capsules as one option among several.
- Budget buyers who would start with drip, as Gastroback lists espresso, drip and grinder.
- Shoppers outside the US market, since US is the only support country listed.
Xiaomi
Who it suits
- Households that want a single maker across robots, sticks, wet-dry and handheld cleaners, since robot vacuum, stick and wet dry covers the full set.
- Owners of flats with tight furniture clearance: the flagship robot stands 9.7 cm tall and keeps a 4,000 ml bin.
- Buyers who want phone and chat help, since support runs on email, chat and phone rather than email alone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want an upright in the same basket: Daewoo Electricals and Ewbank both list uprights, which robot vacuum, stick and wet dry does not cover.
- Buyers who prefer a dedicated floor-care maker: Philips keeps a shorter list at robot vacuum and wet dry, while Xiaomi spreads across robot vacuum, stick and wet dry.
- Anyone budgeting tightly at the top of the range: the flagship RON 2,339 ranks 34 of 66, so entry models from Ewbank or Daewoo Electricals deserve a look instead.

Questions about each
Delonghi
What does the cheapest De'Longhi coffee machine cost?+
The automatic espresso range starts at $549.95. That is the entry machine rather than a subscription or a deposit, so the outlay is the price of the machine itself. The flagship automatic sits well above it at $2,499.95, which is the ceiling this range reaches in the category.
Is the grinder built into the machine?+
On the flagship automatic, yes. A grinder is built in, so whole beans go in without a separate grinder taking up worktop space. The water tank on that automatic holds 1.8 litres and the pump pressure is 19 bar.
Xiaomi
How much do I pay at the entry and the top end?+
The Romanian store lists products from RON 1,954, with the flagship priced at RON 2,339. Budget for the machine itself rather than a plan that renews, and check the return policy, which allows 14 days, before a large order.
Does the robot empty its own bin?+
Yes. The flagship robot pairs a self-empty dock with an onboard bin of 4,000 ml that empties after a run. Mopping runs from a pad, and that pad lifts 10 mm when the machine reaches a carpet.
