Which brand to buy
Sebo's cheapest machine, the Sebo Airbelt K2 Kombi, costs $499; Lefant's only current robot, the Lefant M2S Pro, costs $180. Beyond price, they build opposite things. Sebo makes bagged canisters and an upright designed for a decade of use, backed by 10-year motor and parts coverage. Lefant makes budget robots with a 1-year warranty.
Sebo owners talk about carpet, filtration and build. Owners of the Sebo Airbelt E3 Premium ($1,150) choose it for the ET-1 electric powerhead that deep-cleans carpet and for filtration that suits allergy households, while complaining about the short cord and the cost of genuine bags. Owners of the Sebo Airbelt K2 Kombi say it is best on hard floors and low pile, since it lacks the powerhead and needs more passes on thick carpet.
Lefant has little track record to judge. On paper, the Lefant M2S Pro at $180 maps with LiDAR, empties itself and runs for up to 240 minutes, while the dockless Lefant M310 Ultra ($170) is now discontinued.
For wall-to-wall carpet, allergies or a buy-once purchase, choose Sebo. For daily automated sweeping on a small budget, choose Lefant. A Lefant running on weekdays and a Sebo on weekends is a reasonable split if the budget allows both.

Lefant vs Sebo: common questions
Is a Sebo canister worth the price over a Lefant robot?▾
If you have carpet or allergies, yes. Owners of the Sebo Airbelt E3 Premium describe deep carpet cleaning and strong filtration, backed by a 10-year motor and parts warranty. A Lefant robot is a maintenance cleaner and will not match that.
Can a Lefant robot replace a Sebo for hard floors?▾
For daily dust, largely yes, and the Lefant M2S Pro empties itself for $180. For a thorough clean with strong filtration, owners of the Sebo Airbelt K2 Kombi say it suits hard floors and low-pile rugs well.
