Gone are the days of spending hours vacuuming the house – a robot can now do all of the work
There’s nothing worse than getting to the weekend and realising there are still loads of household chores to be done. Thankfully, modern technology means that they don’t all need to be done by hand anymore, and a robot vacuum cleaner can really take the edge off that ever-growing housework list.
With a robot vacuum cleaner, shoppers can come home to a spotless house, with carpets free from pet hair, crumbs, lint and other mess. Plus, investing in one of these nifty gadgets doesn’t have to cost a fortune, either, as the Lefant M210P Robot Vacuum Cleaner is currently £99.95 at Amazon.
The discounted price knocks 58% off the RRP of £239.99, meaning shoppers can get their hands on a vacuum cleaner promises an efficient clean without buyers needing to lift a finger for a much lower price.

The robot vacuum has four cleaning modes to ensure every corner of the house is taken care of, and it boasts a cleaning efficiency of close to 90% and a large 500ml dust container – plenty of space to collect all manner of household detritus.
It’s only 28cm in diameter and 7.8cm thick, so it can fit under beds and sofas to reach those dusty corners. It is battery powered but has a 120 minute run time, and is programmed to return to its charging station when it’s finished or when the battery is getting low.
It also knows how to avoid obstacles and detect stairs, to avoid damage from running into things around the home. Its suction adapts depending on the surface it finds itself on, too, so carpets and hard flooring will get an equally great treatment.
If this robot vacuum isn’t quite right, there are plenty of others on the market to choose from. Shark has the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Cordless Robot Vacuum Cleaner & Mop, which has full cleaning capabilities, tackles stuck-on stains, and is designed to take multiple passes over dirt and debris to make sure it’s all sucked up, all for £250 at Argos.
Those looking to splash the cash could also have a look at the EUFY X10 Pro Omni Robot Vacuum & Mop with All-in-One Station for £799 at Currys, a monster of a robot cleaner which comes with a docking station with its own water tank and dust bag for automatic hands-free cleaning as well as a Pro-Detangle comb that loosens pesky hairs wrapped around the roller brush.
However, with a great 4.2 star rating on Amazon, the Lefant robot vacuum is loved by shoppers. One happy buyer said: “I did so much research on robot vacuums before investing in this one, although it’s on the ‘cheaper’ side of one’s that are out there it really does do what it says on the tin! I love that you can set schedules, it goes over rugs and you can also set it to carpet boost! Every day this is on and every day it picks up bits that I can’t see. Connecting to phone app was easy and you can even control it yourself if you want it to go in specific areas. This has saved me so much time hoovering honestly a great product!”
Another said: “This is great entry model, cleans well, generally returns home without getting stuck or lost. I was very sceptical about these things. I am now a fan.”
A third wrote: “Good suction and is really persistent in getting every area. It collects a lot of dust in places that my handheld can’t reach. Loved it so much I’m thinking of repurchasing and gifting one to a family member.”
However, some shoppers found it wasn’t quite for them. One said: “Great for picking up dust and hair, but anything else, nope. The amount of things I’ve seen it go over multiple times it won’t pick it up even with the different strength settings.”
Another added: “Good little hoover that picks up well. But has a tendency to go around and around, and over the same place instead of working its way over the whole floor area. It also doesn’t always recognise the one step we have and goes down it.”
However, for a great price on a fancy gadget that takes the stress out of household chores, the Lefant M210P Robot Vacuum Cleaner is worth checking out.
