Pros and cons
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.
LeFun Robotics
Pros
- Peak suction of 23,000 Pa ranks 11 of 46 brands, against a 15,000 Pa recorded across the site.
- Robot, stick and wet-dry all sit in robot vacuum, stick and wet dry, the same mix Daewoo Electricals and Ewbank carry.
- A brand run spare parts shop keeps the €69.99 replacement kit ordering under the same seller as the machines.
Cons
- The 8 mm mop lift sits at the 8 mm floor of the range, below the 12 mm most robots reach.
- Support runs on email and help centre, so a phone conversation is not an option on this range.
- The €99.99 entry price covers the cordless vacuum, so a robot starts at €539.99 instead.
Who each suits
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.
LeFun Robotics
Who it suits
- Households wanting lidar mapping and a self empty dock in the same robot, plus a spare parts shop for ongoing filters and brushes.
- Buyers who want a cordless stick and a robot from one seller, since robot vacuum, stick and wet dry covers both formats.
- Shoppers comfortable buying from a DE entity in euros and planning around a €69.99 consumables outlay.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want an upright or handheld added to the basket: Daewoo Electricals and Ewbank cover those formats alongside the robot vacuum, stick and wet dry found here.
- Anyone after a tall mop lift for thick rugs, since 8 mm sits at the 8 mm end of the recorded field.
- Shoppers who prefer one appliance name behind robots and mops only, where Philips lists robot vacuum and wet dry and no cordless stick.
Questions about each
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.
LeFun Robotics
What is the cheapest LeFun vacuum?+
Entry pricing is €99.99 in euros and it covers the cordless vacuum rather than a robot. That places LeFun at position 27 of 65 on entry price across the tracked brands, so the cheap ticket is a cordless stick, not the robot range.
How much is the flagship robot vacuum?+
The flagship robot vacuum, one of the models listed at M5 Max, M3 Max, V1, is €539.99 in euros. It is the machine that carries the self empty dock, lidar and the 23,000 pascal suction figure, and it sits at position 39 of 66 on flagship price.
