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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
