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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
