Which brand to buy
For about what the Hoover ONEPWR Evolve Pet cost at $150 before Hoover discontinued it, Lefant sells a LiDAR robot that maps the house and mops. That is the real choice between these brands, because their lineups never touch: Lefant makes only robot vacuums, and since the Lefant M210 at $90 and the Lefant N3 at $200 were discontinued, the M2S Pro is its only current one, and Hoover makes only vacuums you push.
On paper Lefant packs a lot into small prices. The Lefant M2S Pro at $180 combines LiDAR navigation, a self-emptying dock, 10000 Pa suction and a rated 240-minute battery. The Lefant M310 Ultra at $170 and Lefant M330 Pro at $120 offered LiDAR mapping without a dock but are now discontinued. Lefant robots carry 1-year warranties, and the brand has little ownership history to judge reliability against.
Hoover's track record is longer. Evolve Pet owners say it pulls pet hair out of carpet like a full-size upright, but also report the plastic handle cracking and short runtime on carpet; its successor is the ONEPWR Emerge Pet at $330. Hoover WindTunnel All-Terrain owners at $181 praise the dual brushrolls on hard floors and the swivel steering, while worrying about build quality.
A budget robot like the M2S Pro keeps hard floors and low rugs tidy between cleans; it will not deep-clean carpet the way a Hoover upright does. Pick Lefant to automate daily dust under $200. Go with Hoover if carpet and pet hair are the problem, or if you want a brand with a longer track record.

Hoover vs Lefant: common questions
Is a Lefant robot a substitute for a Hoover upright?▾
Not for carpet-heavy homes. A Lefant M2S Pro at $180 handles daily upkeep with LiDAR mapping and a self-emptying dock, but owners of Hoover uprights like the Hoover WindTunnel All-Terrain describe a level of carpet pickup a budget robot does not match.
Which has the longer warranty, Hoover or Lefant?▾
Hoover in most cases. Lefant robots carry 1 year, while the Hoover WindTunnel All-Terrain has 5 years and the Hoover ONEPWR Emerge Cordless Stick Vacuum has 3 years, which matters given how little long-term data exists on Lefant.
