Lefant - M2 Pro

I bought the lefant m2 from walmart.com for $229, and it's done well.

I don’t see this brand often suggested but my Lafant (with LiDAR) has been a great investment for our household. I was able to integrate using the Tuya integration. And the mapping function works real nice. https://preview.redd.it/zxg65tu0ea2g1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1c1ac20230081c476e947de1a6221e6a9ee1fd21

Reading this I wonder if robot vacuums are ready for prime time -- all of them. I have two Lefants. One worked great for years, the second one required a call to Amazon's tech help within the month. They told me how to do a factory reset. That worked for about a month. Then it started beeping continuously and wouldn't run. What it had must be contagious (snark) because the one that worked great started doing something similar -- runs about one minute then stops and starts beeping. Tech help was no help. My guess is it might be something to do with my wireless so I'm not sure I can blame the robot. Maybe if they went back to the drawing board and just made a robot you didn't have to use your phone to work. That would take one unknown out of the problem of fixing them when they go wrong. Just an observation after reading the posts here.

lol what the fuck got up OPs ass about robot vacs? I have a LeFant I got for $90. Thing runs 4 hours or so on one charge. I run it every day. I only empty it once a week. The maintenance I put in takes literally 3 minutes. It saves me at least an hour worth of sweeping a week.

I have a cheapo LeFant that I got for free. Just swapped the battery. It's only a vacuum. I swear by it. We only have 1 kid but the crap that, that thing sucks up is incredible. Sometimes it even gets little toys. It's a heck of a machine. I'd recommend it.

I have a cheap Lefant robot vac that I run every night that is well worth it, only paid $100 and it keeps my floors very clean with 2 dogs. Like it better than the shark I paid 5x as much for.

A robot vaccum is worth it, IMO, but there are cheaper models than a Roomba. We had an Ecovacs Deebot for several years and now we have a Lefant model. We bought both heavily discounted on Amazon Prime day.

I have the same number of animals. I broke down and bought a cheaper sort of robotic vacuum, without all the bells and whistles. I run it every other day—sometimes daily. I think I paid $95 for it on Amazon. I live in under 1000 square feet. It is a Lefant. One day I will upgrade to one with greater capabilities, but for now it is heaven.

I just got one for Christmas! I cheaped out and bought a Lefant which was cheaper than Eufy, and I regret it a little as its mapping skills are... limited. So I can't just program it and trust it to clean everywhere, not get sick and come back to it's charging base. But if I put it at one end of a room and let it run, I can then do something else or just relax, and it's nice to make a weekly chore I didn't like doing into a game. Because it's not super efficient I run it twice a week, but that makes my house much cleaner compared to a big scrub once a week 😊

Paid $50 for a Lefant robo vacuum from facebook marketplace and it was such a good decision. 10/10 recommend!!!

Had an off brand one (lefant) that worked OK, just upgraded to a roomba on black Friday, and it's SO much better. It's much smarter and knows exactly where it is in the room for the most part (I think it's because it has a lidar sensor on the top). Have only used the mop function once, and it was OK. Want to try it with the cleaner instead of just water, but I think either way it's more of a way to keep clean floors clean, as it doesn't really scrub the floor.
