Our verdict on each
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.
Zelmer
Zelmer is a fair pick for Polish households who want plain cordless floor care at an entry price of PLN 349 and a flagship of PLN 1,199. It suits buyers who mop separately and empty the bin by hand, and less suits anyone chasing dock automation or Matter.

Pros and cons
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.
Zelmer
Pros
- The flagship cordless stick runs for 55 minutes on a charge, and the Piotr cordless model holds 800 ml of debris between empties.
- A 2 years warranty covers the flagship cordless vacuum, giving buyers a defined period for repairs and replacements.
- A spare parts shop is available, so filters, brushes and bins can be ordered from the brand for the working life of a machine.
Cons
- Self empty dock is not offered in the vacuum range, so the bin is still emptied by hand after each use.
- Lidar is not used on the cordless sticks, which leaves mapping and route detail basic next to robot-first ranges.
- Matter is not supported, so the vacuums cannot join a Matter setup alongside other connected devices.
Who each suits
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.
Zelmer
Who it suits
- Polish households buying a cordless stick or upright who expect phone and email support plus a spare parts shop after the sale.
- Shoppers who mop with a separate appliance, since mopping is listed as none on the cordless line.
- Homes that want long runtime per charge, given the 55-minute rating on the flagship cordless stick.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want a robot vacuum in the same basket, since Hoover covers robot vacuum, stick and upright while the Zelmer range has no robot type.
- Buyers building a one-brand floor-care set that includes a robot, since Daewoo Electricals covers robot vacuum, stick and upright including that type.
- Shoppers who want mopping built into the cordless machine, since Zelmer lists none for mopping and Ewbank at robot vacuum, stick and upright is the nearer match for wet-dry work.

Questions about each
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.
Zelmer
How much does a Zelmer cordless vacuum cost?+
The cordless vacuum range has an entry price of PLN 349, and the flagship cordless stick is listed at PLN 1,199. Those figures mark the low and high ends of what the brand asks for a vacuum. Both are single product prices, so a shopper is weighing the purchase cost rather than a plan that renews.
Which cordless models does Zelmer list?+
The cordless range names ZVC351 Antek, ZSVC912BF PET Pawel, ZSVC510D Piotr as its reference models, covering an upright, a stick aimed at pet hair and a compact stick for smaller spaces. The list is short, so narrowing the choice is easy. Buyers should match the model to floor type and to pet hair rather than to runtime alone, since runtimes differ across the line.
