Our verdict on each
Eureka
Eureka suits buyers who want a self-emptying robot vacuum and mop with real suction, and its 22,000 Pa ceiling ranks high among the brands on site. Entry pricing of $129.99 keeps a first machine reachable, and robot vacuum, stick and upright all come from the same maker.
Ewbank
Ewbank suits UK households who want a self-emptying robot vacuum without paying flagship money. Its self-emptying robot pairs an auto-empty dock and lidar with 150 minutes of runtime, the range opens at £26.99 while suction stays at 5,000 Pa, and support runs on help centre, email and phone.

Pros and cons
Eureka
Pros
- Suction of 22,000 Pa ranks 12 of 46 brands on the site, so raw power is the strongest part of the package.
- Entry price of $129.99 lands below the €96.46 site median, so a first machine is a mainstream ticket rather than a premium one.
- A self empty dock, a spinning mop that lifts 12 mm and a 3,000 ml bin make long cleaning runs genuinely hands-off.
Cons
- The top machine costs $1,199.99, well above the €207.86 upper end of typical entry prices across the site.
- Suction of 22,000 Pa matches the 22,500 Pa figure but sits under the 50,000 Pa ceiling, so buyers chasing the very highest figures may look elsewhere.
- Mop lift of 12 mm matches the 12 mm median and does not reach the 15.24 mm top of the range.
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
Eureka
Who it suits
- Homeowners who want a self-emptying robot vacuum and mop and care more about suction than carpet clearance
- Buyers after a 22,000 Pa suction figure, which ranks 12 of 46 brands on the site
- Shoppers who want robot-vacuum, stick, upright and wet-dry machines from one established maker
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want a handheld vacuum, since handheld is not among robot vacuum, stick and upright while robot vacuum, stick and upright and robot vacuum, stick and upright both list it
- Shoppers chasing the very highest mop lift figures, since 12 mm matches the 12 mm median rather than the 15.24 mm top
- Anyone set on a robot-vacuum-only catalogue, since Philips covers robot vacuum and wet dry while Eureka also makes stick and upright machines
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
Eureka
How much does the cheapest Eureka floor care cost?+
Eureka's entry price is $129.99. That sits below the €96.46 site median, so a first machine from the brand lands in the mainstream part of the market rather than at the budget end. The €42.39 lower quartile of entry prices across the site shows how much cheaper the cheapest machines elsewhere can be.
What is the most expensive Eureka model?+
The flagship in the range is priced at $1,199.99. Set against the €96.46 site median for entry prices, that is a large step up, and it also clears the €207.86 upper end of typical entry pricing. Buyers moving to the top of the range should budget the hardware cost in full, since the dock and mopping hardware sit in that price rather than the base model.
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.
