Lefant Robot vacuum cleaner

How does the auto-cleaning station work and what maintenance is required?

The all-in-one station automatically refills cleaning solution and washes mops with 45°C hot water for deep cleaning, then dries them with cool air to prevent deformation. The 3.2L dust bag only needs replacing every 8 weeks and the 2.5L clean water tank can cover 220m² homes twice per fill. This makes maintenance minimal compared to traditional robot vacuums that require frequent emptying.

Will the mops damage my carpets or rugs?

No, the smart auto-lifting system detects carpets and instantly raises the mops by 9mm to prevent wetting. This ultrasonic carpet detection technology ensures your carpets and rugs stay dry whilst hard floors receive proper mopping. The system works automatically without any manual intervention required.

How effective is the navigation system in avoiding obstacles and furniture?

The advanced 360° dToF laser navigation provides millimeter-level accuracy with a 16m scanning range. Combined with intelligent dual-sensing protection featuring 190° wide-angle detection, it achieves 95% fewer collisions. The system accurately identifies obstacles taller than 4cm and safely navigates tight spaces like sofa gaps and around furniture legs, even working effectively in complete darkness.

What's the actual cleaning coverage and battery performance?

The 5200mAh lithium-ion battery provides 220 minutes of continuous runtime, sufficient to clean 220m² UK homes. In practical terms, this covers 3-4 bedroom houses completely. The robot can clean approximately 12-16 square metres in about 20 minutes with roughly 20% battery drain, making it highly efficient for regular home cleaning.

How does the suction power compare for pet hair removal?

The 12,000Pa suction power effectively removes hidden pet hair, dust and debris from both carpets and hard floors in a single pass. The V-shaped roller brush features anti-tangle double combs that prevent hair wrap, making it particularly effective for pet owners. Users report the dustbin fills up quickly, demonstrating the efficiency of hair and debris collection.

Can I control specific rooms and set cleaning schedules?

Yes, the Lefant app provides comprehensive control including custom cleaning areas, scheduling, no-go zones, suction level adjustment, spot cleaning and room selection. You can create multiple maps for different floors and interchange between them easily. Voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant allows hands-free commands like "Clean the bedroom!"

What WiFi requirements are needed and are there any connection issues?

The robot supports dual-band WiFi (2.4G and 5G) for instant responsiveness. If you experience connection issues, remove '5G' from your network name as recommended by the manufacturer. The setup process typically takes less than 10 minutes including app download, WiFi connection and initial mapping.

How does the mapping system work for multi-floor homes?

The robot can create and store multiple floor maps. To map additional floors, go to app settings, click 'map management' and 'create new map'. You can then interchange between different floor maps, making it easy to move the unit between floors. The mapping becomes more accurate after a few cleaning cycles as the system learns your home layout.
