Lefant M210 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, 2200Pa Strong Suction, 7.8cm Thin 28cm DIA, Automatic Self-Charging Small Robotic Vacuum, Wi-Fi/App/Alexa Control, Ideal for Pet Hair Hard Floor and Carpet

Had this 3 years now and so easy to set a schedule. Ive tried others that don’t work but this one does, I have wooden floors and a hairy dog and I have a schedule for 3 times a week and my floors only then need mopping. It gets all the hairs and even gets under the sofas, I set it for when we are in bed so I get up to clean floors - it’s brilliant and easy to empty, set up and use.

The media could not be loaded. The box contained a total of FOUR brushes (used 1 pair at a time) and TWO filters (one of which is in the dust box, ready for use). There is also a natty little cleaning brush clipped into a recess in the top of the charging station – clever place to keep it.The Lefant Life app is as utterly infuriating to set up as many people report! My w-fi router definitely has the 2.4 GHz signal activated and I followed the Lefant app instructions to the tee... but the first two times it simply didn’t find the robot and timed out after 120 secs. I tried the alternative method – AP instead of EZ?!? (no, I’ve no idea what these are either). I switched off the robot for 20 secs, switched it on (yet again), pressed the power button as instructed for 3 secs (again) until it bleeped (again)... and somehow the app ‘discovered’ the bot this time! Hurrah!! But I couldn’t tell you how.The app helpfully tells me what % charge the bot has, and it seems to take 2 mins to add 1% of charge. I have just played with the bot for 25 mins and it only used about 20% of the available charge. It was on medium suction all the time (on short pile carpet).The menu bar at the bottom of the app screen shows ‘Switch (power) – Standby – Auto cleaning – Recharge’. Swipe it to the left and you discover it continues ‘– Random – Edge clean – Fixed point clean – Manual – Settings’.> ‘Auto cleaning’ is the systematic ‘S’ shaped path that is advertised.> ‘Settings’ includes suction level, if you need to force it to go high or low for certain types of floor.> The main part of the app screen monitors where the bot goes, but no, it doesn't map the room.> In ‘Manual’ mode you need to pause the bot before using the direction keys, then press ‘go’.On 'Auto clean' the bot would clearly work best in a room where everything is oriented in parallel lines or at 90°! When things are at odd angles it can take a while to negotiate them, and sometimes ends up retracing the path it has just taken, but it varies the route eventually. On 'Edge' mode it is very thorough - see attached vid. It is very good at detecting solid objects direct ahead, not so good when they’re off centre, but it has rubber bumpers so doesn’t do damage to itself or anything else. As it doesn’t have a moving bumper bar like most bots do, that’s one less moving part to go wrong in my view. The bot had a good go at climbing the 1” bars forming the feet of my keyboard stand! – I thought it was stuck at one point, but no, it turned off its vacuum, paused, tried spinning round and found purchase, clambered back down to carpet level and set off again. It sometimes tries to push through soft furnishings but will always stop if it doesn't work after a few attempts - see attached vid. It happily clambers up the bump from hard floor to carpet in my kitchen/diner. It goes under anything it can!The bot doesn't get all fluff stuck to carpets - you'd need a 'brush' model for that - but does collect some fluff/threads etc, plus a lot of dust & hard particles. Hard floors are cleaned fine, though I've not tried the mop yet. The dust box is so easy to lift out and clean; the dust is collected up against the filter at the far side of the box, not clogging the entrance (like with another make I tried), while hard particles fall to the bottom of the box.The bot sometimes struggles to find its charging station when I press ‘Recharge’, only finding the tractor beam when I place it about 6 feet away, so I sometimes help it. If it has been on 'Edge clean' mode, it just tracks on round the edge of the room till it finds its station.For the money (£150 on offer) I reckon it is good value, and will certainly help with keeping my floors cleaner than they have been to date! Just a shame about the app, but at least a remote control can be purchased if you get totally stuck trying to get the app to work.

I've had this robovac a week now. Wow, it is really impressive. The Software and the build quality, the functionality is excellent. It really does pick up a lot of hair and debris. Not loud even on the second setting called powerful mode. Battery life is also very good with it doing 50sq.m in 84 mins and only losing 80% from full charge. Not sure if the software alerts when the "tank" is full as I haven't got that far yet. Overall an excellent intelligent piece of kit, I have now moved it upstairs and am thinking of buying another for downstairs. It has even picked up cat hair where our much older Shark vacuum cleaner hasn't. A must buy for those with limited mobility not finding it easy to vacuum themselves. Nice one. It may have a bit of an small issue if it runs to less than 20% and then tries to return to the charger, if it is another room. If it is in the same single room I would hope it finds it easily. But I haven't tested that yet. Perhaps a minor firmware upgrade is needed to alert on a full tank and calcualte return time to the charging station along with multiple room memory. It does map the area on the map but you cant save it as a preprogrammed area which is needed also.

I bought this as a second robot cleaner after the first more expensive, cleverer one was such a success, but can only work on one floor. I couldn't afford the same one again so looked at this one. At under a 1/4 of the price, I did so with trepidation. I'm glad I did. It successfully picks up dust. Which is what I wanted it to do!It doesn't seem to follow a clever path, and the app isn't great. But...locking it in a room switching it on really seems to work. so who needs an app to do that and it does seem to cover most of said room. It's done really well on a room that due to amount of stuff was hard to get a conventional cleaner round. It's easy to empty, and due to its size can get under things my other one can't. I don't have another floor, but if I did I would get another of these.🙂🙂 Oh and nice and quiet too.

Best gadget i've bought in years, possibly ever! 'Trevor' as the kids call him lives under the sofa (he self recharges there after each cleaning routine) and comes out at night so that we come downstairs every morning to a super clean floor. Also gets the household in the routine of picking up their shoes / toys etc before bed each night so trevor has the space to do his job.Have to empty hid dust box 1-2 times per week, but you can simply ask Alexa to 'start trevor' and he appears from under the sofa so easy to do!We have laminate floors and they're completely dust free when he's finished. We have a few mats which he does too (but can't comment on fully carpeted floors)I am seriously consider buying another for upstairs to run during the day when the kids are at school!
