Our verdict on each
Hoover
Hoover suits UK buyers who want a full floor-care and cooking range in one place, backed by a Haier legal entity and long parts availability. Its entry vacuum price of £64.99 sits well inside the category, while the flagship reaches £319.99 with lidar and a self-empty dock.
LeFun Robotics

Pros and cons
Hoover
Pros
- Entry price of £64.99 places Hoover near the front of the field on price at entry, and the flagship adds lidar and a self-empty dock.
- The range covers robot vacuum, stick and upright, so a single brand covers robot, stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld cleaning.
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and a spare parts shop plus 10 years of parts cover keeps machines in service.
Cons
- Suction of 5,000 Pa sits below a category median of 15,000 Pa, so deep carpet pile is not the strong suit.
- Obstacle avoidance is listed as none, which leaves cables and clutter to be moved by hand.
- Suction ranks 40 of 46 brands, and the flagship rank is 29 of 66.
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
Hoover
Who it suits
- Households wanting robots, stick, upright, wet-dry and handheld models under one roof
- GB shoppers who prioritise entry price over peak suction
- Buyers who value a spare parts shop and 10 years of parts cover
Who should look elsewhere
- Homes with thick carpet where suction of 5,000 Pa is not enough
- Buyers who want object recognition, since obstacle avoidance is none
- Shoppers outside GB
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
Hoover
What does the cheapest Hoover vacuum cost?+
Hoover's vacuum entry price is £64.99, which is well under the site's typical mid-range price of €61.38. At that level the models are compact machines rather than full self-emptying robots. A phone-based tidy-up on hard floors is the realistic target here.
What does the flagship Hoover robot cost?+
The flagship is listed at £319.99 and it is the model that adds a self-empty dock and lidar. Hoover's flagship rank is 29 of 66 brands, so the top of the range is mid-table. Buyers on a tight budget can start much lower with £64.99.
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.
