The Lefant M210 robot vacuum is selling for $89.98 on Amazon, a 55% markdown from its listed $199.99 price, according to NBC Select. The deal puts the robot vacuum below $100, a lower price point in a category where NBC Select says many well-reviewed models still cost $300 or more.
NBC Select, which says it independently chooses products it covers and may earn a commission from purchases through its links, highlighted the Lefant M210 as its deal of the day. The same model was also listed at Best Buy for $99.99, down from $116, according to the retailer pricing cited by NBC Select.
What is the Lefant M210 robot vacuum?
The Lefant M210 is a compact robot vacuum aimed at routine floor cleaning, especially in smaller homes and spaces with pets, according to NBC Select. A robot vacuum is an automated floor cleaner that moves through a room on its own and can help maintain floors between deeper cleanings.
The model measures 11 inches across and stands just under three inches tall, NBC Select reported. That low profile is meant to help it fit beneath beds, sofas, coffee tables and other furniture where a standard upright vacuum may be harder to use.
Instead of using a traditional roller brush, the M210 has a brushless suction opening powered by a digital motor, according to NBC Select. The design is intended to pick up dirt and pet hair while reducing the tangling that can happen with roller brushes.
What features does the Lefant M210 include?
NBC Select reported that the vacuum offers six cleaning modes: automatic, planning, fixed point, edge, schedule and manual. Those settings give users options for general cleaning, targeted spots, room edges and scheduled runs.
The vacuum also includes infrared sensors, which NBC Select said help it move around furniture and avoid falling from stairs or ledges. When its battery runs low, the vacuum returns to its charging dock automatically, according to NBC Select.
Users can control the M210 through the Lefant app, including setting timers or starting a cleaning session on demand, NBC Select reported. The vacuum also supports voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant.
Is the Lefant M210 robot vacuum deal worth it?
NBC Select pointed to three reasons for shoppers to notice the sale: the 55% discount, more than 9,650 five-star ratings and app-based control. Those details make the deal notable for buyers looking for an entry-level robot vacuum at a lower price.
The discount may be most relevant for people who want daily floor upkeep without paying for a higher-priced model. NBC Select described the M210 as a lower-maintenance option because it can be scheduled, controlled remotely and sent back to charge on its own when needed.
As with many online deals, the listed price and availability can change by retailer. NBC Select’s reported Amazon price was $89.98, while Best Buy’s reported price was $99.99 for the same Lefant M210 model.
