First and foremost, the tangle-free design ensures that pet hair, debris, and dust are efficiently suctioned without the worry of clogs or interruptions. The strong suction power effortlessly lifts dirt and debris from both hard floors and carpets, leaving them immaculately clean.
One of the standout features of this robot vacuum is its slim profile, allowing it to easily maneuver under furniture and into tight spaces that traditional vacuums cannot reach. This ensures thorough cleaning throughout my home, even in hard-to-reach areas.
The low noise operation is another highlight, allowing the vacuum to work quietly in the background without causing any disruption to daily activities. Whether I'm working, relaxing, or entertaining guests, the Lefant Robot Vacuum operates discreetly without intruding on the environment.
The automatic self-charging function is incredibly convenient, ensuring that the vacuum is always ready to clean when needed. The addition of Wi-Fi connectivity allows for effortless control and scheduling via the accompanying app, further enhancing its ease of use.
Overall, I highly recommend the Lefant Robot Vacuum Cleaner to anyone looking to simplify their cleaning routine and maintain a consistently clean home. It's a reliable and efficient cleaning companion that effortlessly tackles dirt and debris, leaving floors spotless with minimal effort required.
1. After having it for over a year, it doesn't always start when told. Sometimes I have to turn it off and turn it back on OR unplug it. Sometimes it just refuses to work and so I have to come back to it later. This is the most frustrating aspect, but it usually does resume working.
2. The scheduled cleaning doesn't work. It could be because I'm not connected to the internet, but the schedule on the remote doesn't do it's thing even though it will allow you to set it up.
3. It picks and chooses when to bump into things. Ex. I have a metal dog bowl full of water on the floor, it will bump into it repeatedly and sometimes push it across the floor, but with a random box on the floor, it will completely avoid it after getting close.
4. It does get tangled sometimes, but that's not enough of a reason to not use it.
Pros:
1. Came with two filters so I can clean one while the other stays in.
2. My dog sheds and this helps keep the hair on my floor to a minimum.
3. On low, it's pretty quiet. I tend to run it on high though so I have to adjust to the noise.
4. The remote makes the cleaning process a little more personal. You can redirect the vacuum over specific spaces.
5. The ease of using a robot vacuum is great. You don't have to stand over it to make sure it's doing what it needs to do. You turn it on and forget about it.
6. The battery life is decent. It cleans on high power for an hour and some change (1 bedroom apartment about 750 Sq ft).
Top reviews from other countries
Allow me to contextualize it's use: My home is all tile or laminate flooring. I don't live in a house with an HVAC central air system, so the lack of circulation leads to tons of dust bunnies. We're also currently at the tail end of a renovation. On top of all that, my father uses my back yard and garage for woodwork/carpentry and doesn't take his shoes off - despite my household being a shoes-off household - as he makes his way across my home from both dirty locations.
As you can imagine, I was getting pretty tired of using my Bissell Multi-surface Floor Cleaner (or just a straight-up Vileda broom and dust pan) for all the crap that gets deposited in the nooks, crannies, and in the middle, of my home.
A moderately intense amount of research and comparison later, and I decided that this model would suffice - I was only looking for something to suck up the hair, dust, and debris on the floor. Given that I have an aforementioned floor cleaner, I wasn't concerned with situations where I would need to mop. Cost-efficiency was also a key driver in my purchase decision.
It's been just over 2 weeks and I am mostly satisfied with the product's performance. It seems to align with what all the reviews, comparisons, and tests elsewhere on the web have said. The brushless suction design (instead of a rotating brush) is quite clever - I occasionally have to take a knife to my Bissell so it pleases me to know that won't be a problem with this unit. I have it scheduled for twice a week, and every time the bin has, if not been completely full, at least been half full.
Upon completion of it's scheduled tasks, the unit will have cleaned anywhere from 30sqm to 60sqm (300sqft to 650sqft) on average, occasionally dropping down to 20ish sqm (215sqft). It sufficiently navigates the transition areas of my home (which don't have transitions installed and therefore are essentially a 1/2 to 3/4 inch gap between my rooms' flooring), and can climb up my comfort floor mats in my kitchen which ware about 1/4 to 1/2 inches thick.
The lower floor of my home is generally much bigger than the above reported cleaning area size - I am suspecting the issue is 2-fold: The battery life doesn't last too long to begin with, given it's current maximum historical runtime in my home at 101 minutes, and it often gets tangled up in wires that I have left exposed on the floor. In the attached "Cleaning Map" photo, you can see where my unit got stuck and died. You can also see that, despite it's "arranged" setting, it appears seemingly random - for example, cascading downwards without reason. For reference, the unit's home base is on the right side of the map.
Admittedly, the latter issue of the unit being tangled up and dying is my fault for not preparing - however it does take some getting used to. I have found it more than a few times stuck and out of battery under a sofa with cables or under my media console propped up by a power bar so it's wheel is stuck. That being said, the app doesn't provide you with alerts for these issues. The unit itself beeps incessantly if it gets stuck or something else is wonky, but that only helps when you're home. Another helpful aside is that the unit comes with extra rotating bristles - something that made me feel a bit better when I pick up the unit from it's dead spot and see that the bristles have been subject to being bent by dying in a position where they're squished.
Speaking of finding the unit in strange places, I've also been around to see it try and navigate certain pieces of furniture. While I have no frame of personal reference, FreeMove 2.0 appears to do an overall pretty decent job of gently bumping, rotating, and checking again. However, I've also noticed it has a tendency to go in circles a bit, even when on the "Whole Area (Arranged)" setting rather than the "Whole Area (Random)" setting. Given my lack of experience with robovacs, this might just be a symptom of the industry as a whole, and it eventually gets out of it's own gridlock, and it may be worth mentioning I own a decent amount of furniture for the unit to navigate around (for detailed context: 3 raised sectional sofas, 10 dining chairs between two tables, a few stools/vases/floor lamps/benches, and your usual entertainment and storage units). The only time this gives me minor anxiety is when it's beeping that it has low batt while still circling a chair leg (at that point I'm just cheering it on to make it to it's homebase).
Overall would recommend this product for a simple, inexpensive dry robot vacuum. The issues I raised are only for information purposes and generally don't warrant much attention from me during it's day-to-day performance.

UPDATE: We're into March of 2023, meaning I've had this robovac for 4 months now. It's still consistent in cleaning the same square footage as the original review. However, I noticed upon emptying the bin repeatedly, that it was only collecting debris - crumbs, woodchips, pebbles and rocks dragged in from the outside... I no longer saw any actual dust bunnies in the bin. I was worried, thinking perhaps it WAS crap and it no longer worked. But I looked under my furniture and, lo and behold, there WERE NO dust bunnies period.
I thought perhaps a test run is in order to ensure it's still working. My Dyson died recently, so there has been an accumulation of dust in my master bedroom - hardwood flooring, for the record. I've since added two pictures of the dust bin that I think speak for itself.
Turns out, the little guy is pretty good at his job. So good in fact, that I succumbed to the age old manager trap of "be more productive, even if you've already done everything". The downstairs floor is clearly just absolutely spotless after regular 2-days-a-week cleaning over 4 months. And it still has the ability to pack so much dust and debris into it's bin after all that use, that the dust actually had an imprint of the HEPA filter when I emptied it!
I will say I've noticed that the further it gets from home base, the more spotty it's job is sweeping everything. Seems to be a battery issue. By the time it gets to the furthest part of my home from it's base, it's eaten up a lot of it's power and usually ends up trying to go back home without finishing the area fully. So I've started to just pick it up on a random day after charging and set it loose with "Random" mode to re-vacuum the missed area. Works like a charm.
It also seems to be learning better. I've observed it tracking along the edges of furniture that never move without actually bumping into it. Hooray!
UPDATE 2: End of July, Beginning of August 2023 - meaning 8/9 months in. All of the above applies still in terms of functionality. I echo some other reviews that have stated the unit beeps with 3 loud long tones twice, then 2 long tones, repeating every few minutes. Not sure what was going on but I didn't run it for a while. I turned the power off, in fact, as it continued to beep even while charging. Eventually, I took apart the receptacle and cleaned out everything with the included brush, replaced the mini HEPA filter, and took apart the brushes underneath the unit to clean of hair. It has since stopped beeping in this way. Still not sure why it was beeping like that as there was no matching tone description in the troubleshooting section of the manual. However, it's working fine again so I'm content to let sleeping dogs lie.
The next issue is the wheels have become super squeaky. I can hear it across the house (so on the other side, and then up a floor). I haven't really tried to mitigate it cause it rarely bugs me - I have it set to run while I'm working on the weekday - but I could see it bothering a long-term visitor or something. Will probably be fixed with some WD-40. I'll update again if it's unsuccessful but I'm pretty confident.
UPDATE 3: It's now December of 2023, which marks well over a year of use. I have good news: The wheels stopped squeaking, nor has the beeping returned. As such, the unit functions as expected - which is to say, excellent again. Upon it's routine cleaning sessions twice a week, it continues to pick up an impressive amount of dust and debris. I once again do not have any major criticisms of the unit. It continues to be slightly frustrating when it's low on battery and looking for it's dock, but it often solves this issue itself over time (just don't watch it - for the anxiety that will cause lol - and it'll do what it has to). Otherwise, this will likely be my last update to this review. Ups and downs which, given it's price point, may or may not be expected, but overall still a 5 star purchase over a year out for me and my dusty home!

The lower floor of my home is generally much bigger than the above reported cleaning area size - I am suspecting the issue is 2-fold: The battery life doesn't last too long to begin with, given it's current maximum historical runtime in my home at 101 minutes, and it often gets tangled up in wires that I have left exposed on the floor. In the attached "Cleaning Map" photo, you can see where my unit got stuck and died. You can also see that, despite it's "arranged" setting, it appears seemingly random - for example, cascading downwards without reason. For reference, the unit's home base is on the right side of the map.
Admittedly, the latter issue of the unit being tangled up and dying is my fault for not preparing - however it does take some getting used to. I have found it more than a few times stuck and out of battery under a sofa with cables or under my media console propped up by a power bar so it's wheel is stuck. That being said, the app doesn't provide you with alerts for these issues. The unit itself beeps incessantly if it gets stuck or something else is wonky, but that only helps when you're home. Another helpful aside is that the unit comes with extra rotating bristles - something that made me feel a bit better when I pick up the unit from it's dead spot and see that the bristles have been subject to being bent by dying in a position where they're squished.
Speaking of finding the unit in strange places, I've also been around to see it try and navigate certain pieces of furniture. While I have no frame of personal reference, FreeMove 2.0 appears to do an overall pretty decent job of gently bumping, rotating, and checking again. However, I've also noticed it has a tendency to go in circles a bit, even when on the "Whole Area (Arranged)" setting rather than the "Whole Area (Random)" setting. Given my lack of experience with robovacs, this might just be a symptom of the industry as a whole, and it eventually gets out of it's own gridlock, and it may be worth mentioning I own a decent amount of furniture for the unit to navigate around (for detailed context: 3 raised sectional sofas, 10 dining chairs between two tables, a few stools/vases/floor lamps/benches, and your usual entertainment and storage units). The only time this gives me minor anxiety is when it's beeping that it has low batt while still circling a chair leg (at that point I'm just cheering it on to make it to it's homebase).
Overall would recommend this product for a simple, inexpensive dry robot vacuum. The issues I raised are only for information purposes and generally don't warrant much attention from me during it's day-to-day performance.

UPDATE: We're into March of 2023, meaning I've had this robovac for 4 months now. It's still consistent in cleaning the same square footage as the original review. However, I noticed upon emptying the bin repeatedly, that it was only collecting debris - crumbs, woodchips, pebbles and rocks dragged in from the outside... I no longer saw any actual dust bunnies in the bin. I was worried, thinking perhaps it WAS crap and it no longer worked. But I looked under my furniture and, lo and behold, there WERE NO dust bunnies period.
I thought perhaps a test run is in order to ensure it's still working. My Dyson died recently, so there has been an accumulation of dust in my master bedroom - hardwood flooring, for the record. I've since added two pictures of the dust bin that I think speak for itself.
Turns out, the little guy is pretty good at his job. So good in fact, that I succumbed to the age old manager trap of "be more productive, even if you've already done everything". The downstairs floor is clearly just absolutely spotless after regular 2-days-a-week cleaning over 4 months. And it still has the ability to pack so much dust and debris into it's bin after all that use, that the dust actually had an imprint of the HEPA filter when I emptied it!
I will say I've noticed that the further it gets from home base, the more spotty it's job is sweeping everything. Seems to be a battery issue. By the time it gets to the furthest part of my home from it's base, it's eaten up a lot of it's power and usually ends up trying to go back home without finishing the area fully. So I've started to just pick it up on a random day after charging and set it loose with "Random" mode to re-vacuum the missed area. Works like a charm.
It also seems to be learning better. I've observed it tracking along the edges of furniture that never move without actually bumping into it. Hooray!
UPDATE 2: End of July, Beginning of August 2023 - meaning 8/9 months in. All of the above applies still in terms of functionality. I echo some other reviews that have stated the unit beeps with 3 loud long tones twice, then 2 long tones, repeating every few minutes. Not sure what was going on but I didn't run it for a while. I turned the power off, in fact, as it continued to beep even while charging. Eventually, I took apart the receptacle and cleaned out everything with the included brush, replaced the mini HEPA filter, and took apart the brushes underneath the unit to clean of hair. It has since stopped beeping in this way. Still not sure why it was beeping like that as there was no matching tone description in the troubleshooting section of the manual. However, it's working fine again so I'm content to let sleeping dogs lie.
The next issue is the wheels have become super squeaky. I can hear it across the house (so on the other side, and then up a floor). I haven't really tried to mitigate it cause it rarely bugs me - I have it set to run while I'm working on the weekday - but I could see it bothering a long-term visitor or something. Will probably be fixed with some WD-40. I'll update again if it's unsuccessful but I'm pretty confident.
UPDATE 3: It's now December of 2023, which marks well over a year of use. I have good news: The wheels stopped squeaking, nor has the beeping returned. As such, the unit functions as expected - which is to say, excellent again. Upon it's routine cleaning sessions twice a week, it continues to pick up an impressive amount of dust and debris. I once again do not have any major criticisms of the unit. It continues to be slightly frustrating when it's low on battery and looking for it's dock, but it often solves this issue itself over time (just don't watch it - for the anxiety that will cause lol - and it'll do what it has to). Otherwise, this will likely be my last update to this review. Ups and downs which, given it's price point, may or may not be expected, but overall still a 5 star purchase over a year out for me and my dusty home!
Mas, depois de um ano de trabalho diário, o meu robô M210 apresentou um defeito: a roda motriz esquerda emperrou e ele não conseguia mais se deslocar, ficava girando no mesmo lugar.
Relatei esse defeito ao vendedor da Lefant aqui na Amazon.
A resposta foi rápida. Deram-me instruções de como resolver o problema, indicando-me um video no youtube mostrando como remover a peça defeituosa.
Vi o video e removi a peça com facilidade. Enviei foto da mesma e do número de série meu M210 e eles estão me enviando uma peça nova.
Parabéns, Lefant. Vocês adotaram uma nova e moderna forma de assistência técnica e creio que terão muito sucesso, pois eu fiquei muito satisfeito.
Agradeço muito a vocês, eu estava desesperado, sentindo uma falta enorme do meu M210 passeando pela casa, era como se estivesse ausente uma pessoa da família, por motivo de doença.
Não vejo a hora de ver novamente o M210 sarado, completamente restabelecido e em plena atividade.
