iLife A30s
The A30s is iLife's vacuum-only LiDAR pick, aimed at buyers who want real room mapping and no-go zones but don't need or want a mopping robot cluttering up the works. LDS LiDAR plus a SLAM algorithm maps the home and plans routes, the dual anti-tangle brush is built specifically for pet households, and the ILIFE Clean app handles no-go zones, virtual walls, scheduling, and per-room cleaning. Suction is rated up to 10,000 Pa, but iLife's own language notes that figure is measured in Spot Mode — the concentrated, small-area boost setting — not sustained whole-home suction, so treat it as a ceiling rather than a typical-clean number. There's a real carpet-boost feature that ramps suction automatically over rugs. What's missing at this price: no self-empty dock, no published dustbin capacity, weight, or dimensions, and the WiFi connection is 2.4GHz-only, so make sure your router supports it before buying. iLife's US brand presence and ownership track record is considerably thinner than Roborock, Eufy, or Roomba, so this is a value bet on newer competition rather than an established known quantity.
