Lefant M1 review: What is it like to use?

There are three buttons on the Lefant M1: Start/stop cleaning, perform a spot clean or send it back to charge. You could more or less keep your house clean with these alone. Even the mopping function is activated by simply filling the tank with water and clipping on the mopping baseplate.

The inclusion of the spot clean button is a good one. I often find that robots that can be dropped and started directly on top of a mess have an advantage over robots that need driving into place, because they can collect a fair bit of a spillage before their wheels and brushes start disturbing it.

As usual, however, there’s a lot more functionality hidden in the app. The main screen shows you how much charge your robot has, and has a big button labelled ‘House cleaning’ that can be used to initiate a clean, much like the start/stop button on the robot itself. Tap on the on-screen robot, however, and you enter the secondary screen, which displays the map and provides a bank of further controls below it.

On the map you have options to: mark an area for a spot clean (which the app calls ‘Pointing and sweeping’), clean a particular area by dragging a rectangle around it, or set a no-go zone. The latter can be performed even while the robot is on its initial mapping run, which is good if you have cable nests and the like that you want it to avoid without having to clear them up first.

I wasn’t overly enamoured with the way spots and areas are selected, though. Most apps let you zoom into the map and drop a point by clicking on the screen, or an area by drawing or dragging a rectangle around it.

The Lefant app requires you to move an existing point or box into the correct position by dragging it, then adjusting the size of boxes in one corner, which proved more cumbersome than it ought to be. It was exacerbated by the app’s unwillingness to let you zoom in during this operation, which is nonsensical.

There are other foibles. By default, for example, the app wasn’t set to record and store maps – I had to find that option in the settings. It looks like there’s a way to store multiple maps, too, but during testing I struggled to get a second map of my upstairs areas saved for future reference. It’s great that the second map didn’t wipe the work I had put into marking-up the first one, but it would be good to control what’s going on when moving between floors more easily.

When a clean is finished, it’s down to you to empty the collection bin. This unclips from the back of the device, and the same release mechanism is used to free the lid. You can then tip its contents into a dustbin.

I found the powerful suction does a decent job of compacting the dust and debris, reducing the cloud of dust that appears during emptying. The filters can be removed and the collection bin rinsed with clean water, but the filters can only be tapped or brushed clean, not washed.
