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.
Lubluelu
Pros
- The flagship robot pairs lidar navigation, a self empty dock and a spinning mop that lifts 15 mm in one machine.
- Mop lift ranks at position 2 of 12 brands, the strongest showing among the compared measures.
- Entry at $127.22 and the flagship at $330.99 keep the range short, so moving up a tier stays within reach.
Cons
- Suction of 10,000 Pa sits below the 11,500 Pa median in the robot vacuum group, so deep pile carpet is not where it shines.
- The flagship robot at $330.99 sits well above the €123.30 median entry price in the group, so a self-emptying setup is not a cheap buy.
- Lubluelu covers robot vacuum, stick and wet dry, while Daewoo Electricals and Ewbank also list upright and handheld models for the same household.
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
Lubluelu
Who it suits
- Shoppers who want one machine to vacuum, mop and empty itself at the dock without paying the $330.99 flagship ticket.
- Homes with rugs and thresholds, since the flagship mop lifts 15 mm above the floor.
- Owners who expect to replace filters, brushes and mops later, with a spare parts shop on hand.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers chasing the strongest suction: the robot vacuum group median is 11,500 Pa, above Lubluelu's 10,000 Pa.
- Shoppers who want uprights and handhelds from the same maker, since Ewbank and Daewoo Electricals list those alongside their robots while Lubluelu runs robot vacuum, stick and wet dry.

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.
Lubluelu
What does the cheapest Lubluelu robot cost?+
The robot vacuum collection starts at $127.22, which is the outlay for a first machine. The flagship listed at $330.99 is the model that adds the self empty dock and lidar navigation. Both figures are one-off hardware prices, so there is no renewal charge to plan around later on.
Is the suction strong enough for carpets?+
The flagship machine peaks at 10,000 Pa. That sits below the 11,500 Pa median suction in the robot vacuum group and the 15,000 Pa site-wide median, so it suits hard floors and light carpet far better than deep pile carpet.
