"The maintenance I put in takes literally 3 minutes."
"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."

Lefant has been decent. Has never got lost. Seems to not miss anything.
r/RobotVacuums • I fucking hate this thing ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • Need advice: how's Lefant's robot vacuum? ->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.
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->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.
r/unpopularopinion • Robot vacuums are expensive and a waste of time. ->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.
r/homeowners • Are robot vacuums worth it? I’ve got 4 small kids and I’m always sweeping up the kitchen. Now I have a crawling baby so I’m thinking about getting a robot vacuum, preferably the mop/vacuum kind but they are so expensive! Curious if they are worth it and an investment. ->I'm sitting here regretting my Lefant purchase from 18 months ago. I'm sure you weren't thinking of going that cheap, but in case you're tempted. I'm shopping again.
r/RobotVacuums • Help me choose a robot vacuum? ->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

r/dogs • Is a Roomba-like vacuum worth it for dogs? I need to be de-influenced for my wallets sake ->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.
r/dogs • Is a Roomba-like vacuum worth it for dogs? I need to be de-influenced for my wallets sake ->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.
r/CleaningTips • I'm about to check myself in a mental institution ->I have one and it works well
