Our verdict
ILIFE suits buyers who want a robot vacuum without flagship money, with entry pricing of €90.95 and a self emptying dock in the range. Its US, PL and ES list and 1 year warranty make it a fair pick for straightforward floor care rather than premium mapping.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry pricing of €90.95 compares well with the site median €127.49.
- A self empty dock and 3,000 ml bin reduce hands on emptying.
- Suction of 20,000 Pa is above the site median 15,000 Pa.
- 300 minutes of runtime covers large homes on one charge.
- A spare parts shop keeps filters and consumables available after purchase.
Cons
- The flagship price of €2,698.95 is far above the site median €492.95, so the range spans a very wide gap.
- Mop lift of 10.5 mm ranks 8 of 12 brands ranked on mop lift.
- US, PL and ES does not list the UK, so buying outside those markets means checking local support.
- A warranty of 1 year is shorter than most rivals in the comparison.

Scored 8.9 / 10 by SmartHomeCue.
Who it suits
- Renters and homeowners who want a self emptying robot at a low entry price
- Buyers comfortable ordering into one of the US, PL and ES listed
- People who already own a cordless or handheld vacuum and only need robot support
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers who want UK availability and delivery, since the UK is absent from US, PL and ES
- Buyers chasing a long warranty, given a cover period of 1 year
- Households needing the highest mop lift, since 10.5 mm ranks 8 of 12
Core features
The headline figure is suction: 20,000 Pa sits above the site median of 15,000 Pa, so the flagship picks up more debris than a typical comparable robot. Battery life backs that up with 300 minutes of runtime, enough for larger homes on a single charge. Around the cleaning cycle, a self empty dock means the robot empties its own bin, and the 3,000 ml bin holds a decent amount between empties. Mopping adds a pad system with a 10.5 mm lift, and Lidar mapping appears higher up the range. Body height matters in tight spaces. The lowest profile option keeps the machine down to 7.6 cm, which helps it slide under low furniture. Support after purchase is covered by a 1 year warranty and a spare parts shop, so filters and brushes can be reordered directly.
How it compares on our data
The pattern across the data is a wide range rather than a middle market position. ILIFE ranks 20 of 65 brands on entry price, which puts it among the cheapest ways into the category. At the top end the picture reverses. It ranks 66 of 66 brands on flagship price, so the expensive model sits at the highest point in that field rather than the middle. Read both together and the brand covers a wide band. Suction is more competitive. The 20,000 Pa figure places ILIFE 15 of 46 brands ranked on peak suction, a middle band that still clears the site median of 15,000 Pa. The mop lift is the weakest relative showing, ranking 8 of 12 brands ranked on mop lift.
Plans and prices
There is one purchase price per model and no subscription to weigh at renewal. The introductory price starts at €90.95 for the cheapest robot, and the flagship model costs €2,698.95. Nothing renews, so the figure you pay is the figure you keep. Both prices come from the brand's own store in EUR, which keeps currency straightforward for European buyers. Entry sits below the site median of €127.49, while the flagship sits well above the site median of €492.95. That gap is the thing to plan around. Buyers wanting a dock and higher suction will be looking at the upper figure, not the entry one.
The company behind it
ILIFE was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in China, so it is a long established maker rather than a new entrant. Its catalogue stretches from budget robots to high suction flagship machines with docks and mapping. Availability is the main practical limit. The listed US, PL and ES cover the US, Poland, Spain, Malaysia, Russia and Japan, and shoppers outside those markets should check delivery and returns before ordering. Help after purchase runs through email, phone and help centre, giving you email, phone and a help centre to choose from. A 1 year warranty and a spare parts shop cover the first few years of ownership.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the cheapest ILIFE robot vacuum cost?+
The entry price is €90.95, listed in EUR on the ILIFE store. That sits below the site median entry price of €127.49, which makes it one of the cheaper ways into the category. There is no subscription on top.
What does the top of the range cost?+
The flagship model is priced at €2,698.95, also in EUR. That is far above the site median flagship price of €492.95, so the gap between the cheapest and dearest ILIFE robot is very wide.
Do I have to pay anything again after buying?+
No. These are outright purchase prices with no contract or renewal fee, so the amount you pay is the amount you keep. Ongoing money goes on consumables instead, and a spare parts shop is available for filters, brushes and similar items.
How strong is the suction and how long does it run?+
Peak suction is 20,000 Pa, which clears the site median of 15,000 Pa. Battery runtime is 300 minutes, so a single charge should cover a large home before the dock or charger is needed.
Does the robot empty and mop on its own?+
A self empty dock is part of the range, so the robot can empty its own 3,000 ml bin. Mopping is handled by a pad system with a 10.5 mm lift, and camera based obstacle avoidance sits alongside it on higher models.
Which countries can I buy and service it in?+
The listed markets are US, PL and ES, covering the US, Poland, Spain, Malaysia, Russia and Japan. If you are outside those markets, check delivery, returns and support cover before ordering, as those are the areas the brand lists.
What support and warranty do I get?+
Support runs through email, phone and help centre, so email, phone and a help centre are all options. The warranty is 1 year, which is shorter than several rivals in the comparison, so extended cover is worth considering on pricier models.
Which ILIFE model should a first time buyer choose?+
Start with the €90.95 entry model if you want the lowest outlay, or move up to the €2,698.95 flagship for the 20,000 Pa suction figure and a self empty dock. The lowest profile machine is worth a look for low furniture, since it stands only 7.6 cm tall.
