Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about LEFANT F1

  • Very slim and compact design, ideal for cleaning under low furniture
  • Brushless suction port excellent for minimizing hair tangles
  • Compatible with voice assistants (Google Home/Alexa) and mobile app
  • Automatic return to charging base with good battery life
  • Includes magnetic strips to define restricted areas
  • Great value for money on hard floors

What customers don't like about LEFANT F1

  • The mopping function isn’t very useful—it only supports a damp mop, not water storage
  • Not recommended for deep carpets due to lack of agitating roller for dirt
  • Non-laser mapping (gyroscopic), less precise than high-end models
  • May struggle in very large homes

Verdict

The LEFANT F1 is an ultra-compact robot vacuum and mop featuring a slim 28 cm diameter and 6.9 cm height profile, packed with a powerful 4,000 to 5,000 Pa suction motor, a generous 600 ml transparent dustbin, and a 3600 mAh battery that yields up to a 200-minute runtime. Main advantages include its unique brushless suction port that prevents pet hair tangles, dual side brushes, FreeMove 3.0 infrared anti-collision technology for navigating tight spaces, and standard app/voice controls. However, key drawbacks include the lack of advanced laser mapping (which results in non-permanent floor plans that delete after each session), an inability to clean specific individual rooms selectively via the app, and occasional aggressive behavior that overrides included boundary strips.
