Description
Introduction
The Lefant M210 is a compact robot vacuum designed to work around furniture and handle everyday dirt — especially in homes with pets. It pairs a low-profile chassis with a brushless suction port and app-driven controls aimed at simplifying regular floor maintenance.
Who it’s for: apartment dwellers, busy families, and pet owners who want a low-profile robot that slips under sofas and beds and reduces hair buildup without frequent brush tangles. Quick verdict: the Lefant M210 is a practical, space-saving robot vacuum that excels at surface-level cleaning and pet-hair pickup for light-to-moderate messes.
What’s in the Box
- Robot vacuum unit (Lefant M210) — Not specified if pre-charged
- Charging dock / base — Inferred from typical packages (Not specified)
- Power adapter — Inferred (Not specified)
- Side brushes — Inferred (Not specified)
- HEPA / primary filter — Inferred (Not specified)
- User manual — Inferred (Not specified)
Note: The listing does not include a formal components list; the items above are typical inclusions and marked as inferred where the listing is silent.
Design & Build
The Lefant M210 uses a small, circular body with an 11-inch diameter and a 2.99-inch (≈7.6 cm) profile. That low height is its main design advantage: it can reach under many beds, sofas, and cabinets that taller robots can’t, making it useful for households where dust collects in low-clearance spaces.
Materials and finish are not specified in the listing. The vacuum’s body appears plastic, as is common in this category. Weight is not listed, but the compact dimensions imply a lightweight unit that’s easy to move or lift for maintenance. The control layout is app-forward, so physical controls are minimal; ergonomics favor simple placement and retrieval rather than frequent manual interaction.
The compact footprint trades an expansive dustbin and larger battery for improved access under furniture. This is a deliberate design choice for people who prioritize coverage beneath obstacles over heavy-duty deep-cleaning sessions.
Key Features
Small Body Design (11″ diameter, 2.99″ height)
Benefit: The slim profile lets the robot access tight, low-clearance areas where hair and dust collect.
Real life: If your couch legs are low or you have low platform beds, the M210 can slide underneath to pull out crumbs and pet dander that a larger unit would miss.
Unique Brushless Suction Port
Benefit: Instead of a rotating roller brush, the M210 uses a brushless suction port paired with a digital motor. That reduces hair tangles and simplifies upkeep since there’s no brush roll to cut hair from.
Real life: Pet owners and people with long hair will notice fewer clogs and less time spent cutting strands from a roller brush. Hair and debris are channeled directly into the dustbin.
6 Cleaning Modes
Benefit: Multiple navigation choices—zigzag, random, spot, edge, schedule/timed, and manual—let you tailor cleaning to the task.
Real life: Use edge mode for baseboards and perimeter dust, spot mode for concentrated messes, and schedule mode to run the vacuum automatically while you’re away. Note: the listing advises against using zigzag mode on carpet.
Smart App & Voice Control
Benefit: Control cleaning times, suction level, and direction from your phone and create recurring schedules. Voice compatibility with Alexa and Google Assistant simplifies hands-free commands.
Real life: Set the M210 to run every morning before you leave, or tell Alexa to start a quick tidy after dinner. For full functionality, the listing notes you should use the new App-Lefant (not the older Lefant Life app).
Upgraded FreeMove Technology 3.0
Benefit: Built-in 6D anti-collision infrared sensors detect likely stuck points and automatically alter the path to avoid interruptions.
Real life: The robot is less likely to get trapped on cables, shoe edges, or small obstacles and will generally complete more of the cleaning cycle without human intervention.
Long-Life Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery (up to 120 minutes)
Benefit: The LiFePO4 battery chemistry offers longer cycle life and stable performance. In low-suction mode, the manufacturer lists up to 120 minutes of runtime. (source: listing, checked 2025)
Real life: For small to medium homes, that runtime can cover most rooms in a single session; on low suction it can run long enough to complete a scheduled tidy while you’re out.
Where to buy
Performance & Use
Setup is straightforward: place the charging dock on a flat surface with a few feet of clearance, charge the vacuum, and download the App-Lefant to finish configuration. The listing warns that the older Lefant Life app won’t unlock all features — make sure you connect with the App-Lefant for the latest functions and settings.
Navigation and cleaning: expect solid surface performance (hardwood, tile, vinyl) and light-to-moderate carpet pickup. The brushless suction port does a good job with loose debris and pet hair, and the absence of a roller brush reduces hair entanglement. The manufacturer advises avoiding zigzag mode on carpet, so prefer random, spot, or edge modes there.
Practical tips
- Use schedule mode to keep floors tidy with minimal thought; adjust suction level in the app to balance runtime versus cleaning strength.
- Clear cables and small objects from the robot’s intended path before starting a cycle to reduce the chance of snagging.
- Empty the dustbin after every few runs if you have pets, and clean filters and sensors monthly to maintain suction and navigation accuracy.
- If you need a deeper carpet clean or frequent high-pile pickup, a robot with a motorized brush roll and stronger reported suction figures may do a better job.
Maintenance
- Empty the dustbin after most sessions when pets are present.
- Rinse or tap filters (follow manufacturer guidance in the manual). Do not assume washable unless listed.
- Wipe the infrared sensors and charging contacts to keep docking reliable.
- Replace disposable filters and side brushes on the schedule recommended by Lefant (not specified in the listing).
Pros vs Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Compact 2.99″ height reaches under low furniture easily (evidence: listing dimensions). | No listed weight or materials details — hard to judge build solidity. |
| Brushless suction port reduces hair tangles and eases maintenance (evidence: listing claims). | No suction power (Pa) number provided — hard to compare cleaning strength objectively. |
| Up to 120 minutes runtime on low suction using LiFePO4 battery (evidence: listing, checked 2025). | Full-featured functionality requires the new App-Lefant; older apps don’t unlock all features. |
| Multiple cleaning modes and app/voice control (evidence: listing). | Zigzag mode is not recommended for carpet (listing note). |
| 6D anti-collision sensors help avoid stuck situations (evidence: listing). | Dustbin capacity and filter specifics not listed — unknown how often bin must be emptied. |
Who Should Buy
- Pet owners who want a low-maintenance robot that minimizes hair tangles.
- People living in apartments or homes with low-clearance furniture who need access under beds and sofas.
- Busy households that benefit from scheduling and voice control to keep floors tidy with minimal effort.
Who shouldn’t buy
- Households that need powerful deep-cleaning on high-pile carpet; the listing lacks strong suction metrics and advises caution with carpet in certain modes.
- Buyers who want detailed hardware specs (weight, dustbin capacity, official suction Pa numbers) — those details are not provided.
- Users who prefer robots with multi-surface roller brushes for embedded dirt; the brushless design is optimized for hair and surface debris, not deep agitation.

I do not recommend this product at all. After only a year and a half, it no longer works properly. It consistently stops in the middle of scheduled tasks and never returns to the charging station.
I have been trying to resolve this with the manufacturer’s support for months, but there has been no solution. They only keep asking me to try different steps, without actually fixing the problem.
They also told me that Amazon orders only include a 1-year warranty, so they can “help diagnose the issue” but cannot offer any real support beyond that which is unacceptable for a product bought 1.5 years ago.
Very disappointed with both the product and the after-sales support.

Will take 10 run cycles to clean a room. Will also run out of battery and die because it refuses to find its docking station to recharge but thats if it doesnt get entangled in a cord first. Will pick up one spec of dirt and ognore the rest of dirt around it and make its way to the other end of the room ognoring any dirt in its path.

Estoy encantada con mi robot, simplifica mis labores en el hogar, lo recomendó de verdad.
Michael Imler –
This is a FANTASTIC performer! I own three Great Pyrenees dogs that live a lot of the time inside the home. At least three characteristics are true about Great Pyrenees: They bark, they are lovers and they ARE HAIRY! Each morning I quickly get the big hair globs with a stick vac; then I turn my Lefant Robot loose! I can control and monitor it with my smartphone. We call him “New Puppy!” Sometimes he’ll work for 90 minutes or even two hours, then dock himself for a recharge. That’s when I dump out the hair and remove hair from the filter. The final step is rolling a lint roller over the filter to grab any resistive hair. Then I reinsert the cartridge in New Puppy. That entire process takes less than five minutes!
This product is an incredible value. A consistent, hardworking, reliable, essential tool!

I’m very impressed with this robot. I have a small place that it cleans very well, and its small frame lets it get in spaces my old Roomba couldn’t.
The dreaded thing happened to the robot this morning, my cat left a present on the floor that the robot discovered. I’m not the type to throw perfectly good items away when they’re dirty or damaged. So I took the robot apart to clean it, and to great surprise it was EASY! This product is VERY VERY approachable and straightforward to disassemble and reassemble for repairs.
I decided to look deeper, and found that Lefant makes replacement parts such as motors and wheels readily available as well. No dice on the main board, but I wouldn’t expect that. I’m not used to companies being so friendly to the consumer nowadays. I’m very very impressed and because of that I recommend this product very much 100%

Excelente robô. Faz o serviço direitinho.
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.

I’ve tested this and used it for 2 days now. Cleans well enough and does not fall down the stairs. Using the Lefant app is almost impossible to use with Alexa. Instead, use the Smart life app. Once paired with the smart life app it will erase itself from the Lefant app and will be recognized by Alexa. From there you can transfer it to the Lefant app in order for it to be recognized by Alexa. I deleted the Lefant app and just used the smart life app being that I already have it on my phone to control my lights. One less app using up the memory and storage of my phone.
The duration of the battery is an hour and a half or 90 minutes give or take 5 minutes which is good enough to clean 2 bedrooms, a den and a long hallway. There is an area rug in my den, hallway, and 1 bedroom and it managed to go over them without any problems most of the time. Whats irritating is when its done its job and needs to go back to the charging dock. It spends so much time looking for the charging dock that it runs out of power before being able to dock. It keeps passing the dock which is just 1 or 2 feet away. But here is what I noticed, when I press home on the remote and the unit is 5 feet or less away in a straight line from the charging dock, it’ll never (maybe sometimes) find the dock. But if its more than 7 or 8 feet away it manages to find the charging dock. I initially place the charging dock on the short end of the hallway (middle of the hallway, around 5 feet across) while testing it and only once was it able to find the charging dock. But when I placed it in the living room, the wall where I placed the charging dock was across another wall around 20-25 feet away, it manages to find the charging dock always. Seems like it needs a long path (like a runway) to prep itself and make a bee line towards the dock. Makes me want to return this because of that but still thinking it over because I do like the color as it does not show the dust which accumulates on the top of it. I have a black one and you can see the dust which sticks to the sides of the unit as if though it has been off roading.
If I were to compare this to a vacuum with a roller brush, the roller brush wins without question. I tested this the first time by running the Lefant once a day for 5 days in three rooms which have 10 x 7 area rugs and a hallway runner which is 12 feet long by 3 feet. These rugs have been manually vacuumed twice a week with a regular (the type that you pull with you) vacuum and results seem to show that the robot vacuum did a better job. I then ran a robot vacuum with a roller brush for just once for 75 minutes. The vacuum with the roller brush deep cleaned the the rugs way much better and actually vacuumed out more dust and lint than the Lefant. That was 5 days at 100 minutes per use with the Lefant vs 1 use for 75 minutes with a roller brushed robot vacuum. First dust pile is the Lefant. Second is the roller brushed vacuum. The proof says it all. Though the lefant does a good job, it could be better.
Its fine I guess but compared to a Eufy 30C, i prefer the Eufy over this. More elegant, it has a roller brush which lifts the dust off the carpet though hair gets caught on the roller but its not that hard to remove. I would rather that the dust gets lifted out of the carpet than just off the surface. And the Eufy always finds its way to the chraging dock. I’m testing another unit by Acecool, seems to be the same as the Lefant M210, even the manual of the Acecool mentions the M210. Acecool has a bigger capacity battery with a running time of 170 minutes (don’t know if its true but I am testing it right now, its been running for an hour and 10 minutes as I write this) and the same features. They look almost the same in size, the body structure, and dust bin. The only difference is the color and the top cover. Only thing I don’t like about the Acecool is that its black and fell down the stairs when I used the edge (wall) cleaning mode. I think the wheel slipped since the sides of these units don’t have side sensors. Acecool does go over the carpets much better and seems more solid compared to the Lefant. Still testing. At the moment, a 3 star rating is the best I can give the Lefant M210

تقوم بتنظيف كل شي تقريبا لكن لابد من إبعاد أي عائق . جربت كل مميزات الممكنسة و العيوب الي وجدتها فيها انها تنظف السجاد المنخفض الوبرفقط وبعض أنواع السجاد يبقى الشعر عالق فيه وشي ثاني أنها تأخذ وقت طويل حتى ترجع لقاعدة الشحن ،لكن مع السعر تتفوق على بعض مكانس ذات سعر مرتفع

I’ve had this for about 3 weeks, and it does a good job of picking up most of the cat hair. Even though it’s cute as can be when my cat rides on it, he inadvertently turns it off since the button is on the top. Sometimes he knocks it off the charging station and off it goes while I’m not around! It does great on laminate floors, but just so so on carpet and it often becomes lodged under a sofa that’s not quite high enough for it. It’s not perfect but it beats having floating wads of cat hair since I have 3 cats.
I haven’t figured out it’s pattern yet and have to manually move it around, but it beats vacuuming all the time! Best money I’ve spent in a long time!

Great little affordable vacuum cleaner. I have all hard floors and it works great. Setting it up was so easy and it’s really good quality. I love the app you use it’s really straight forward. The battery runs for a really long time and my floors are always clean. It’s really slim design so it fits under all my furniture. If you’ve been looking for a robot vacuum and can’t decide which one to get I highly recommend this one. I don’t know how well it works with carpet but it’s perfect for hard floors.

Bought this sweeper robot 3 months ago to help with the large amount labrador dog hair that accumulates on the floors. I own two other iRobot Roomba cleaners which work well but are noisy and clunky. This unit is small and compact, has a low noise mode and does a great job. At a very competitive price I am very happy with it so far and will buy another when one of my Romba cleaners wear out.
