Highlights: Brushless suction (ideal for pets), voice and app control, scheduling in advance, automatic recharging, six cleaning modes, anti-collision sensors
Because the Lefant M210 robot vacuum cleans without a brush, it’s an ideal choice for folks with pets or who themselves tend to shed a lot of hair — the brushless suction means you won’t have to deal with malfunctions due to tangled up hair and tacky fur.
Through the Lefant app, you can customize the robot’s cleaning, scheduling tasks in advance, adjusting suction power and routing and more. (Just be sure that you are using the newest version of the Lefant app, called Lefant, not Lefant Life.) You can also control the robot vacuum by voice. The device’s six modes are especially versatile compared to peer models, and at just under three inches and under a foot in diameter, the robot is well-suited to unobtrusively ducking under your furniture.
Petite and versatile, this robot vacuum is a great starter vac — especially if you can grab it while it’s on sale (for an exceptional 50% off). According to one of our trackers, the price drops regularly.
Drawbacks: Lacks self-emptying feature
Bottom line: The Lefant M210’s brushless cleaning makes it uniquely suited for hair- and fur-heavy households, eliminating the tangling problems characteristic of peer models’ roller brushes. Clip the on-page coupon to get an extra $90 off. Savings show up at checkout.
