Lefant - M213

Couple things… If you’re expecting perfection, you won’t get that. They’re great, but they still can’t move doors or furniture - which is something a human can do. So you’ll still need to do some cleaning yourself. Joe often depends on what level of cleanliness you want and how obsessed you are. I personally feel those are great for people who may not have the physical energy or ability to do regular cleaning. And for households with pets that require more frequent vacuuming. In terms of space… yes, they’re pretty bulky. I started with low cost one with tiny base that would only vacuum (Lefant M213). It for under a furniture piece, so didn’t take any space at all. But it had limitations. Pretty dumb (no map or AI), and couldn’t mop. Still, it did the job. If you’re looking for mopping, it will be more expensive and bulkier. Just got the Mova P10, and it’s great, now I don’t have to break my back to mop the floor, and it vacuums much better as well. But its base is big for my tiny apartment. And the robot itself is a bit bigger (width and height) so it struggles more in tiny spaces and can no longer go under some of the furniture. But it’s an acceptable trade off in my case. I also appreciate that it’s using mostly hot water for cleaning… given my allergies to cleaning products. Ultimately, it depends on your needs and what you consider acceptable, what you’re willing to trade off.

I love mine, use it at least once a day due to the amount of shedding my dogs do. not a deep cleaner but works great keeping things under control. bought one for my son and he loves it too.

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 bought Lefant on Amazon 1 year ago and I love it. We had some issue with water tank and they sent new one for free 

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 have one and it works well 

I ended up buying a dirt cheap Lefant vacuum for a different part of the house. It doesn’t have rollers and it’s much “dumber” than the expensive roomba we have, but it’s way less of a headache. If I’m still gonna have to clean on my own, at least I’m not dealing with untangling freaking dog hair and three women’s worth of hair every few days.
