Our verdict on each
ECOVACS
ECOVACS suits homes that want one machine to vacuum and mop, with a self empty dock, a roller mop and a 15 mm lift on the flagship machine. The trade-off sits at the budget end, where the cheapest robot is priced above most of the field.
Samsung
Samsung suits households that want the big appliances and the smart kit working from a single app, with spare parts held for 10 years after purchase. You pay a premium against Exquisit and Bauknecht for that joined-up range, and the robot vacuum is the weakest part of the picture.

Pros and cons
ECOVACS
Pros
- A self empty dock is part of the range, and the flagship pairs it with a roller mop so one machine vacuums and washes.
- The mop lifts 15 mm off the floor, matching the top of the site range at 15.24 mm.
- Suction of 20,000 Pa sits above the site median of 15,000 Pa and high in the group on that measure.
Cons
- Entry pricing is high in this group, ranking at 63 of 65 on price entry.
- The flagship price is toward the dear end too, at 55 of 66 on flagship price.
- Warranty cover is short at 1 year, which is a real limit on a machine that relies on a dock and an app.
Samsung
Pros
- The listed washing machine runs at 32 kWh a year, so a weekly habit stays cheap to run.
- A single app covers the kit, with a mobile app included, hub, sensor and plug in one place, and no hub required.
- Protocols matter, thread and zigbee and ecosystems smartthings and matter let existing sensors and plugs join rather than be replaced.
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short next to the 10 years parts commitment, so a machine can outlive its cover.
- Robot vacuum suction of 6,000 Pa sits well under the 15,000 Pa site median, so deep carpet is not its strength.
- The market listed is GB alone, so delivery and installation terms are given for that market only.
Who each suits
ECOVACS
Who it suits
- Homes with hard floors that want one machine to vacuum and mop, given the roller mop, the self empty dock and a 15 mm lift.
- Owners who buy once and keep the robot for years, since 20,000 Pa is above the site median of 15,000 Pa and a spare parts shop covers later replacements.
- Buyers who want lidar mapping alongside camera based obstacle avoidance, paired with a 9.8 cm body that fits under most furniture.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget shoppers, since the entry robot at $599 sits above the field, and rivals such as Daewoo Electricals cover a wider mix under robot vacuum, stick and upright.
- Shoppers who want longer cover than 1 year may compare elsewhere, and Philips runs a narrower robot vacuum and wet dry line that is simpler to compare on price.
- Anyone wanting a stick or upright vacuum in the same basket, because ECOVACS is limited to robot vacuum while Ewbank lists robot vacuum, stick and upright.
Samsung
Who it suits
- Households replacing a full white goods set, since washing machine, dryer and dishwasher and WW11DB8B95GBU1, RL38C776ASR/EU, NV7B5750TAK-U4 cover washer, fridge, oven and hob in one range.
- Households already running SmartThings, with matter, thread and zigbee and no hub needed, so appliances and sensors share one app.
- Energy-minded households, where 32 kWh a year sets a low running cost for frequent loads.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers: Exquisit covers the same core appliances, while this range opens at $649.
- Shoppers who want a cooker in the same range: Bauknecht lists one and this range does not, so check Bauknecht first.

Questions about each
ECOVACS
How much does the cheapest ECOVACS robot vacuum cost?+
The entry model in the DEEBOT range is $599. That is a single hardware price rather than a plan with ongoing fees. It is also above the entry price of the other brands listed here, so a buyer pays more at the point of purchase before flagship prices are compared.
What does the flagship ECOVACS robot cost?+
The top machine in the DEEBOT range is $1,299.99, and the self empty dock is part of that package. Buyers chasing the roller mop, the dock and the strongest suction should budget around the flagship rather than the entry model.
Samsung
How much does a Samsung appliance cost at the entry end?+
The listed starting price is $649, and it comes from a countertop convection microwave rather than a washing machine or fridge, so a full kitchen set sits above that figure. These are single purchases rather than subscriptions, so the entry price is the number to plan around rather than a figure that renews later.
How long is the warranty, and will parts still be available later?+
Warranty cover on the appliances runs for 2 years, and spare parts are held for 10 years, with a spare parts shop listed as well. For a fitted kitchen the parts figure is the more useful of the pair, since a failed pump or door seal takes longer to sort than a simple swap. Read the terms, since a parts promise and a warranty are different cover.
