Robot or cordless stick: which suits how you live? Two eufy robots against the Henry Quick and Samsung Jet 75E
A robot cleans the floor while you are out and empties itself into a station; a stick cleans what you point it at, including stairs and the sofa, and empties into your hand. The robots here run for hours at their own pace; the sticks run for minutes at full power. Neither replaces the other, and the honest choice for many homes is one of each — this is how to work out which one first.
Quick answer
- 180minOne level of hard floor and low rugs, and you would rather not vacuum at allthe eufy X10 Pro Omni — a robot that maps, avoids cables, mops and is emptied, washed, dried and refilled by its station.
- The same home, lower furniture, a tighter budget, tidy floorsthe eufy Omni C20 — 8.5 cm tall, a station that empties and washes, no camera.
- 60minStairs, carpet, a sofa, spills, and a bin you can live witha stick — the Henry Quick if emptying bothers you, the Samsung Jet 75E if weight and a freestanding station do.
- 60minA house with stairs and a dogone robot downstairs and one stick for everything else. That is not a cop-out; it is what the numbers say.

Figures are the makers’. Run time for the robots is standard-mode vacuuming (eufy states the X10’s on its US page only, and none for the C20); for the sticks it is the lowest power setting. Robot heights are the robot, not the station; stick heights are the whole machine standing.

The X10 Pro Omni is the full version of the idea. It maps the home with a laser, steers around cables, shoes and toys with a camera, vacuums at 8,000 Pa, mops with two rotating pads that lift 12 mm when it meets carpet, and runs up to 180 minutes vacuuming or 110 vacuuming and mopping. Then it returns to a station that empties its 330 ml bin into a 2.5 L bag, washes the pads, dries them with 45 °C air and refills the water — eufy reckons the bag lasts about 60 days for three people without pets, 45 with one. Your job becomes changing a bag and two tanks every few weeks, and picking things off the floor.
Strengths
- Station empties, washes, dries and refills — weeks between chores
- Camera obstacle avoidance and laser mapping with no-go zones
- Mops lift 12 mm on carpet; 45 °C drying keeps pads from smelling
Limitations
- 12-month warranty on a machine with a battery, a pump and a camera
- Station is 48 cm tall with 85 cm of clearance wanted in front
- Run time is on eufy's US page only; noise is not stated anywhere
Good for
- a flat or house of mostly hard floors with low-pile rugs
- people who want cleaning to happen while they are out
- pet hair on hard floors
Look elsewhere if
- stairs, thresholds over 2 cm, or furniture under 13 cm
- deep carpet
- anyone who wants a machine they can grab for a spill

- Robot height
- 8.5 cm
- Dock
- All-in-one station: empties the bin into a 3.1 L bag, washes and dries the mops, refills the water
Check price on Amazon.co.uk
The Omni C20 keeps the station and drops the camera. It maps with a laser and detects carpet and drops but bumps into cables rather than seeing them, vacuums at 7,000 Pa, mops with 6 N of pressure and lifts the pads on carpet. Its station empties into a 3.1 L bag and washes the mops but dries them with room air over four hours rather than heat. It is 8.5 cm tall against the X10’s 11.35, so it goes under lower beds and sofas. eufy does not state its run time or weight.
What neither does: stairs; thresholds above about 2 cm; furniture with less than 13 cm underneath (X10); the sofa, the car, the stairs’ edges or a spill on the worktop; deep carpet. A robot maintains a floor. It does not clean a home.
Strengths
- 8.5 cm tall — under beds and sofas the 11 cm robots miss
- Station empties into a 3.1 L bag and washes the mops
- Laser mapping with no-go zones at this level
Limitations
- No camera: it bumps cables and socks rather than avoiding them
- Room-temperature mop drying takes four hours by default
- eufy does not state run time, weight or the robot's bin size
Good for
- a flat with low furniture and tidy floors
- a first robot with a station
- hard floors and short rugs
Look elsewhere if
- a home with cables and toys on the floor
- anyone who wants figures for run time before buying
- thick carpet

- Bin
- 1 L
- Height

- Charging / storage
- Wall dock in the box; battery can charge off the machine
Check price on Amazon.co.uk
The Henry Quick is a 3.2 kg stick that runs 60 minutes on low and 16 on high, converts to a handheld for stairs and upholstery, and — its distinguishing decision — collects into a sealed 1 L pod that you throw away rather than a bin you empty and a filter you wash. Its battery detaches and charges anywhere; a wall dock is in the box. Three years’ guarantee, four bought direct.
Strengths
- 1 L pod, the biggest capacity here, and emptying is binning a sealed pod — no dust cloud
- Detachable battery charges off the machine; 60 minutes on low
- 3-year guarantee (4 direct), Numatic spares are the cheapest in Which?'s ranking
Limitations
- Pods are a running cost — six in the box, then you buy more
- 16 minutes on high
- 3.2 kg is mid-pack, not light
Good for
- allergy sufferers who hate emptying a bin
- a small house with a landing to charge on
- Henry loyalists
Look elsewhere if
- anyone who wants zero consumables
- a bathroom-cupboard budget that has to stretch to pods

- Bin
- 0.8 L
- Height
- 113 cm
- Charging / storage
- 2-in-1 station: wall mount or stand-alone charger
Check price on Amazon.co.uk
The Samsung Jet 75E Pet is 2.6 kg, runs 60 minutes on minimum and 10 to 15 on high, has an 0.8 L bin and a washable filter, and charges on a two-in-one station that stands on the floor or hangs on a wall — no drilling required. It comes with a pet tool for upholstery and carries Samsung’s ten-year guarantee on the motor.
What a stick does that a robot cannot: respond. A spill, a trail of crumbs, the stairs, the car, the sofa, the top of the skirting board — a stick is in your hand in five seconds and back in its dock in five minutes. What it cannot do is clean the floor while you are at work.
Strengths
- 2-in-1 station: stands on the floor or hangs on the wall — no drilling needed
- 0.8 L washable bin and washable filter
- 10-year parts guarantee on the motor
Limitations
- 86 dB(A) — the loudest stated figure of the six
- 60 minutes is the minimum-power figure; Samsung quotes 10–15 minutes in high power
- Which? ranks Samsung's replacement batteries the dearest
Good for
- renters who cannot drill
- hard floors and a pet
- a two-bedroom flat
Look elsewhere if
- a home office where the vacuum runs during calls
- deep carpet on high power for more than a quarter of an hour
Run time is two different numbers
The table’s run-time column looks like a rout — 180 minutes against 60 — and it is not. A robot runs at steady low power for hours because no one is holding it; eufy’s 180 minutes covers about 135 square metres in standard mode, which is a whole flat with time to spare. A stick’s 60 minutes is its gentlest setting; on carpet you use the 10 to 16 minutes of full power, and that is enough for a flat’s rugs by hand. Which? has found cordless sticks run 7 to 35 minutes at maximum power and reckons an average UK home needs about 42 minutes of continuous cleaning — a figure that flatters neither category, and explains why the pairing works: the robot does the daily hour, the stick does the weekly fifteen minutes on the carpet.
Emptying and upkeep
Robots move the chore to the station: a 2.5 or 3.1 L bag changed every month or two, two water tanks, mop pads, and a filter in the robot. Sticks move the chore to you: the Samsung’s 0.8 L bin after most cleans and a filter to wash monthly, or the Henry’s 1 L pod binned when full with nothing to wash. Which? notes that a clogged filter costs more performance than a weak motor; a robot’s self-emptying station is, among other things, a way of never forgetting.
Space
The X10’s station is 36.6 × 48 × 46 cm and eufy wants 85 cm of clear floor in front of it — a chair’s worth of floor against a wall with a socket. The C20’s is a box with two clear tanks on top. The Henry’s wall dock needs a drilled wall (or its detachable battery charges on a shelf); the Samsung’s station stands anywhere. In a small flat the station is a genuine cost of the robot that the specifications do not show.
Pets and floors
Both robots reverse the roller brush against a detangling comb to clear hair, and the X10’s camera avoids the things pets leave on floors. For pet hair on hard floors the X10 is the daily answer. For hair on the sofa, the stairs and in the car — where it actually accumulates — the Samsung’s pet tool and the Henry’s handheld mode are the only answer here. Deep carpet favours a stick at full power over either robot.
Mopping
Robots mop; sticks in this comparison do not. Both eufy robots wet-mop hard floors with rotating pads and lift them on carpet; the X10 washes and heat-dries the pads, the C20 washes and air-dries them. If a mopped kitchen floor every morning is the goal, no stick offers it.
Reliability and years
The robots carry eufy’s 12-month warranty (24 for models launched from 2026); they have a battery, a pump, a camera and a station full of water. The Henry Quick has three years, the Samsung ten on its motor, and Which? ranks Numatic’s replacement batteries the cheapest of the cordless brands it looked at. Over a decade, a stick is the more certain purchase; the robot buys you hours.
Which first, by home
- A one-level flat, hard floors, no pets, no stairs: robot — the C20 if floors are tidy and furniture is low, the X10 if there are cables and a dog.
- A house with stairs: stick first, robot second for the ground floor.
- Carpet throughout: stick, and probably a second battery.
- A small flat with nowhere for a 48 cm station: stick — the Samsung stands anywhere, the Henry’s battery charges on a shelf.
- A pet household: both, in whichever order the budget allows.

Can a robot vacuum replace a cordless stick?
On one level of hard floors and low rugs, mostly: eufy's X10 Pro Omni runs up to 180 minutes vacuuming, maps rooms, avoids cables with a camera, mops, and empties itself into a 2.5 L bag good for weeks. What it cannot do is stairs, thresholds over about 2 cm, furniture with less than 13 cm underneath, a spill on the worktop, the car or the sofa. Most households that buy a robot keep a stick or a handheld for those.
Why does the robot run for 180 minutes and the stick for 16?
Different jobs. A robot cleans at a steady low power for hours because nobody is holding it; the stick's 60-minute figure is its lowest setting and its 16 minutes (Henry Quick, high) or 10 to 15 (Samsung) is the full-power setting you use on carpet. A robot's 180 minutes covers about 135 square metres of standard-mode cleaning by eufy's figure; a stick's 16 minutes covers a flat's carpets by hand.
How much space does a robot's station take?
More than people expect. The X10 Pro Omni's station is 36.6 cm wide, 48 cm deep and 46 cm tall, and eufy recommends 85 cm of clear floor in front of it for the robot to dock — a footprint about the size of a kitchen chair against a wall with a socket. The C20's station is smaller in function (room-air drying) but still a box with two water tanks. A stick's wall dock or floor stand takes a strip of wall.
Which is better with pets?
Both robots have a roller brush that reverses with a detangling comb, and the X10's camera steers around the things pets leave on floors; eufy rates its 2.5 L station bag at about 45 days with one pet. Sticks handle the sofa, the stairs and the car, which is where pet hair actually collects. A pet household is the clearest case for owning one of each.

Cordless stick vacuums for a flat or small house: six that are light enough, and where each one charges
In a flat the vacuum lives in the hall, charges where there is a socket and gets used for ten minutes at a time. That changes what matters: weight before suction, a charger you can stand on the floor before a wall dock, a bin you empty without a dust cloud, and a filter you will actually clean. Six cordless sticks compared on the figures their makers publish — with the run-time claims decoded.

Cordless vacuums: weight, attachments, run time and upkeep explained — what the box says and what it means
Every cordless vacuum lists a run time, a voltage, a wattage and a bin size, and none of them means what a buyer assumes. Run time is the lowest setting; voltage does not predict cleaning; the bin fills faster than its litres suggest. This guide decodes the sheet using the makers' own figures and Which?'s testing, then asks the questions about the home you actually have.

Henry Quick (HEN.100) review: the cordless stick that replaces the bin and the filter with a pod
Every cordless stick asks you to empty a small bin and wash a filter. Numatic's Henry Quick asks you to throw away a sealed one-litre pod. That one decision decides who it is for: the stick for people who hate the dust cloud, the wrong stick for anyone who wants zero consumables. The rest — 3.2 kg, 60 minutes on low, a detachable battery, three years' guarantee — is solid rather than remarkable.

Handheld vacuums for crumbs, cars and stairs: six that earn a place in the drawer, and what eight minutes means
A handheld vacuum is bought for the thirty-second job — toast crumbs, the car seat after the beach, the stair a cat sleeps on — and judged by whether it is charged and to hand when the job appears. That makes the charger and the weight matter more than the suction. Six handhelds compared on where they live, how long they run and charge, how big the bin is and what tools come in the box.
