Lefant M210 vs iLife V2
Quick take: The Lefant M210 costs $10 less; the Lefant M210 has stronger suction (2,200 vs 1,500 Pa).
Which one to buy
An app is the real dividing line here. The Lefant M210 and iLife V2 are near twins otherwise: brushless suction ports so there is no roller to strip hair from, bump-and-bounce navigation with no map, 120 minutes of runtime, vacuum only, and a 1-year warranty. The M210 is $10 cheaper and adds app control, Alexa and Google voice commands, and six cleaning modes including scheduling. The V2 has no app, no WiFi and no account, and runs from a remote or one button.
For most buyers the M210 is the better deal, if you can find leftover stock, since it is now discontinued. It costs less, it's the only one with a published suction figure (2200 Pa), its 500 ml bin is stated where iLife lists none, and at 2.8 inches it's a hair slimmer than the V2's 2.99. The one catch is that it needs the current Lefant app; older installs won't connect.
The V2 earns its extra $10 for people who don't want a cloud account or another app on the phone, or who are buying for someone who will never open one. It still docks itself on a low battery or schedule, and iLife names a US support team behind the warranty.
Lefant M210
Now discontinued, but best if you're fine using a phone app: it's cheaper, has voice control and more modes, and publishes the specs the V2 leaves out.
iLife V2
Go this way if you want a robot with no app, WiFi or account at all, and a remote is all the control you need.

Lefant M210 vs iLife V2: common questions
Can either the Lefant M210 or iLife V2 clean specific rooms?▾
No. Both navigate by bumping and turning with infrared sensors and never build a map, so there is no room selection, no no-go zones and no resuming a clean from where it stopped.
Is the iLife V2 worth $10 more than the Lefant M210 just for skipping the app?▾
Only if avoiding an app and a cloud account matters to you. On features the M210 gives you more for less, including voice control and scheduling, but the V2 is simpler to hand to someone who won't use a phone.
