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.
UWANT
UWANT suits US households who want a lot of cleaning power for the money rather than a household name they already trust. It draws 9.1 overall, and its top cordless model reaches 50,000 Pa, the highest figure recorded among 46 brands in the field tracked here.

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.
UWANT
Pros
- Entry price of $69.99 puts a working machine within reach of a small budget.
- Peak suction of 50,000 Pa ranks 1 of 46 brands, and equals the site maximum 50,000 Pa.
- Runtime of 60 minutes on the docked model covers a large home in a single charge.
Cons
- Warranty of 2 years is short beside a long cover, so faults after that window fall on you.
- Mopping runs on a roller system, and roller systems are the smaller share of the field at 25.5% against 36.4% for pads.
- Markets are listed as US only, so buyers elsewhere face shipping and voltage questions.
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
UWANT
Who it suits
- Households in the US shopping for a stick or wet-dry vacuum on a tight budget.
- Buyers who put a suction figure at the top of their list and want a self empty dock included.
- Anyone happy buying direct and replacing parts from the brand's own store.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want a robot vacuum, since UWANT's stick, wet dry and handheld does not include one while Philips covers robot vacuum and wet dry.
- Buyers who want more formats from one brand, since Daewoo Electricals and Ewbank list robot vacuum, stick and upright and robot vacuum, stick and upright.
- Anyone outside US who wants easy local returns and spare parts.

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.
UWANT
What does the cheapest UWANT vacuum cost?+
Entry price is $69.99, which places UWANT 10 of 65 brands on that measure, so it sits near the cheap end of the field. Site entry prices run from €0.89 up to €1,753.05, with a typical figure of €96.46.
How much is the most expensive UWANT machine?+
The top of the range is $399, and that flagship places 25 of 66 brands. It is a stronger relative showing than the entry price, so money is better spent higher up the range than at the bottom of it.
