Cleaning the house can be tedious and time-consuming, but fortunately,robot vacuum cleaners are there to make the task easier. While the majority of robot vacuum cleaners require a financial investment that is not within everyone's reach, theLefant M210 robot vacuum cleaner is one of the most inexpensive models. most popular on the market with one of the best value for money.
In fact, in addition tocosting less than €200, it offers us also great features to clean our house thoroughly. We had the opportunity to test itl’opportunité de le tester to check whether its effectiveness lives up to its popularity. Here is our full review on the features and performance of the Lefant M210 robot vacuum cleaner!
Introducing the Lefant robot vacuum cleaner M210
The Lefant M210 robot vacuum cleaner describes itself as an autonomous device designed to clean the floors of your home efficiently and quickly. It would be able to navigate through each room anddetect obstacles in order to avoid them, providing a simple and autonomous cleaning experience. Here are its technical characteristics in more detail.
The design of the robot
Beyond having a sleek design, this robot vacuum cleaner has also been designed to fit everywhere. With its28cm in diameterètre, it will be able to pass at most near walls and even between chair legs without any difficulty.
We immediately notice that its size is much smaller than other more expensive models with more features. This does not prevent it from having alarge recovery tray, which is a very good point!
The Lefant M210 isa fairly flat robot vacuum cleaner and remains within the standards of robot vacuum cleaners that do not have sensors on the top. It measures7.6 cm tall (for comparison,the Yeedi Vac 2 measures 7.7 cm). Therefore, it will not get stuck when moving under a sofa or armchair as long as they are not too close to the floor.
In our test, we found that its small size is rather an asset because its size allows it to go into corners previously inaccessible for more bulky models.
The suction mouth of the Lefant M210 model
One of the specific characteristics of this robot isits suction mouth which does not have brushes. This is a goodrobot vacuum cleaner with petsat home because the hair can be directly sucked up without tangling. Here is a picture of the difference with theDeebot T10 that we tested whether in terms of size or suction mouth.
We tested the robot's suction by dropping a mixture of dirt and hair onto a line. The Lefant M210 had no trouble vacuuming everything in passing, proof that its brushless suction mouth isall the same effective.
Néanmoins, l’aspirateur robot sera légèrement moins efficient sur les tapis car les brosses permettent d’aller déloger des saletés incrustées dans les textiles.
The power and autonomy of the M210 robot
The suction power of the Lefant M210 robot is1 800 Pa which is pretty good for a robot vacuum cleaner at this price. It will be able to suck up dust, crumbs, lint or even hair that is in its path in order to offer you quality daily cleaning. The M210 has 3 power modes that you can adjust at any time on the appeven during the cleaning session.
In order to test the suction quality of the M210 vacuum cleaner, we placed the dirt in a row on the ground. Despite the amount of dust and hair on the ground,the robot vacuumed it all up in a single pass without leaving a crumb. A very good performance considering its price.
You can activate it for cycles lasting almost 100 minutes, but in practice it will return to its charging station as soon as the device will15% battery left. The goal is that the robot does not end up too far from its station and therefore turns off on its way before being able to start charging again. So, instead count70 minutes d'autonomyfor continuous cleaning and at moderate power.
The mobile application and the robot control system
A good feature of the Lefant M210 robot vacuum cleaner is its compatibility with a mobile application which allows it to be controlled easily. All you need to do is connect the robot to aD2.4 GHz wifi bucket GHz then you will be able to give it orders with your phone.
The advantage will be to be able to control your robot at any time and therefore to be able to activate it quickly if necessary. From theLefant Life application, you will have access to a lot of information on the robot while having the possibility of adjusting its settings in real time.
De plus, il s’avère que ce modèle de robot est encore plus intelligent que l’on ne le pense puisque vous pouvez aussi lui donner des ordres à l’oral. Pour pouvoir profiter de cette fonctionnalité, vous devrez posséder un Google Assistant or anAmazon Alexa.
The robot's navigation system
The Lefant M210 robot vacuum cleaner does not havemapping, so it does not record your accommodation. However, 13anti-collision infrared sensors will allow it to effectively detect its environment at 720 degrees.
It is these same sensors that will preventfalling down stairs since he will be able to detect the void in front of him. Moreover, he will also be able to spot the carpets and still climb on them to clean them. The robot is able to cross the carpets of'a thickness of 1.6 cm.
The features of the Lefant M210
We put the different features of the Lefant M210 to the test in order to give us a more precise opinion on its effectiveness. During our test, we had the opportunity to check the quality of thecleaning modesof this intelligent robot as well as try to program routines de cleaning.
Four different cleaning modes
One of the specificities of the robot vacuum cleaner Lefant M210 is that it has4 different cleaning modes that you can activate according to your needs. Here is when it is suggested to use them:
- Intelligent: This is the effective default mode for vacuuming carpets in particular: The robot can make several passes for clean thoroughly.
- Follow the wall: since the robot's sensors prevent it from bumping into walls and furniture, but dust can sometimes accumulate in these same corners, you can choose this mode so that the device can get closer to the edges.
- Manual: one area is dirtier than the others? Activate this mode to get rid of dirt precisely, the robot will spend more time there to make sure it vacuums everything up.
- Spiral: perfect for daily cleaning in a large room, this mode is less precise, but allows you to vacuum duston a large area more quickly.
You can switch between one mode to another at any time, which is very practical for enjoyingpersonalized cleaning of your floors.
Programming cleaning routines
Directly from the Lefant application, you canplan cleaning routines to keep your floors clean on a daily basis without you No need to manually activate a cycle. We found the programming very simple, just select a time and a cleaning mode then the robot will know what it should do and when it should do it.
This is a feature that we find very useful for cleaning your entryway after returning from a walk with a dog, your bedroom after getting ready in the morning as well as your dining room in the evening once you have finished dinner.
Our overall opinion on the Lefant M210
Our opinion on the M210 robot summary
During our test, we had the possibility to explore the different functionalities of the Lefant M210 robot vacuum cleaner and we found ittrès good for its price. If we were to compare it to another similar model, such asthe Bagotte BG 800 robot vacuum cleanerwhich we were also able to test with our own hands, then we immediately notice that this model ismore reliable in all respects.
Even if it does not have a functionality for washing floors, we find that it is more interesting to opt for a good robot vacuum cleaner that allows uspermanently get rid of dustère, rather than a2-in-1 robot vacuum cleaner and mop -1 rather poor for both vacuuming and washing. Note that you can purchase a floor washing accessory that will allow the robot to vacuum and wash at the same time (not included in the package).
Its application is quite easy to use. It allows you to control the robot remotely, program cleaning routines or even change the suction power during use.
In our opinion, the Lefant M210 is one of the bestrobot vacuum cleaners under $200. Its autonomy of 70 to 100 minutes will be sufficient for the routine maintenance of an apartment or a small house. It is a versatile and reliable model, it also has many positive reviews on certain sales platforms such as Amazon.

The LEFANT M210 robot works wonderfully well. It fits seamlessly into every room of your house or apartment without any hassle. He happily crosses doorsteps and avoids obstacles. It really sucks everywhere and its maintenance is exemplary easy. Cleaning this device takes less than 3 minutes. It is programmable and this is where it gets a little stuck because most of our wifi systems are in 5 MHz and this robot works in 2.4 MHz: you therefore have to share a network to program it. For my part, it was not easy because -Orange customer- this supplier was unable to carry out wifi sharing and suggested that I involve an IT specialist; what I did and I sent the IT invoice to Orange who reimbursed me.
Everything is in working order and I am happy with my LEFANT M210 purchase. I recommend it.
