Lefant
Lefant N3
The N3 is Lefant's step up from bump-navigation bots like the M210 — real LiDAR-plus-dToF mapping instead of random bouncing, and a gimmick that's actually useful: 'sonic mopping' that vibrates the mop pad 12,000 times a minute like an electric toothbrush to work at dried-on stains, rather than just dragging a damp cloth. Ultrasonic carpet detection boosts suction automatically over rugs and switches the mop's cleaning direction so it doesn't drive wet pads onto carpet. Set against name-brand LiDAR robots at this price, the corners cut are real: no self-empty dock (you get a basic charging base), a small 160ml onboard water tank that needs refilling often on anything but a small home, and no auto mop lifting — the mop pad stays attached and just changes direction near carpet rather than physically lifting clear of it. Lefant's own listing doesn't confirm multi-floor map storage, so treat single-floor mapping as the safer assumption. For a standalone LiDAR mapping robot with mopping under $250, it's a reasonable spec sheet from a brand with a real, if thin, US retail presence.
