Our verdict on each
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.
Samsung
Samsung suits households that want the big appliances and the smart kit working from a single app, with spare parts held for 10 years after purchase. You pay a premium against Exquisit and Bauknecht for that joined-up range, and the robot vacuum is the weakest part of the picture.

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.
Samsung
Pros
- The listed washing machine runs at 32 kWh a year, so a weekly habit stays cheap to run.
- A single app covers the kit, with a mobile app included, hub, sensor and plug in one place, and no hub required.
- Protocols matter, thread and zigbee and ecosystems smartthings and matter let existing sensors and plugs join rather than be replaced.
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short next to the 10 years parts commitment, so a machine can outlive its cover.
- Robot vacuum suction of 6,000 Pa sits well under the 15,000 Pa site median, so deep carpet is not its strength.
- The market listed is GB alone, so delivery and installation terms are given for that market only.
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.
Samsung
Who it suits
- Households replacing a full white goods set, since washing machine, dryer and dishwasher and WW11DB8B95GBU1, RL38C776ASR/EU, NV7B5750TAK-U4 cover washer, fridge, oven and hob in one range.
- Households already running SmartThings, with matter, thread and zigbee and no hub needed, so appliances and sensors share one app.
- Energy-minded households, where 32 kWh a year sets a low running cost for frequent loads.
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers: Exquisit covers the same core appliances, while this range opens at $649.
- Shoppers who want a cooker in the same range: Bauknecht lists one and this range does not, so check Bauknecht first.

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.
Samsung
How much does a Samsung appliance cost at the entry end?+
The listed starting price is $649, and it comes from a countertop convection microwave rather than a washing machine or fridge, so a full kitchen set sits above that figure. These are single purchases rather than subscriptions, so the entry price is the number to plan around rather than a figure that renews later.
How long is the warranty, and will parts still be available later?+
Warranty cover on the appliances runs for 2 years, and spare parts are held for 10 years, with a spare parts shop listed as well. For a fitted kitchen the parts figure is the more useful of the pair, since a failed pump or door seal takes longer to sort than a simple swap. Read the terms, since a parts promise and a warranty are different cover.
