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.
Lilin
Lilin sells robots and cordless machines below the robot vacuum midpoint of €145.84, which suits buyers who want lidar navigation and a self empty dock without flagship spending. Entry costs €109 and the top model €340, with 3 years of cover and a spare parts shop behind it.

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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
