Lefant M213 cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, it implies that the vacuum is capable to clean most flooring materials without any significant issues.
Shark RV912S aslo cleans all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space.
This can be used for several purposes, for example the Lefant M213 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. Shark RV912S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
Lefant M213 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark RV912S has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Lefant M213 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

has the same warranty period as that of Lefant M213. When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Lefant M213 has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and cleaned to keep up the vacuum's performance.
Shark RV912S comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. Lefant M213's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. Shark RV912S, at 0.7L
has more capacity than the Lefant M213 with a difference of 0.2L
The dustbin capacity varies widely among robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
The Lefant M213 has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. Instead of a single side brush, which is commonly found on many robot vacuums, twin side brushes have two side brushes one on each side of the robot vacuum. They extend the Shark RV912S's reach, enabling it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these hard to clean areas.
Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Lefant M213 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. The Lefant M213 weighs 2kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and portability.
Shark RV912S, at 5.6kg
weighs more than the Lefant M213 by 3.6kg. It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when getting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Lefant M213 has a width of 335mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a space
Shark RV912S, at 330mm
measures less in width than the Lefant M213 by 5mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Lefant M213's height measures 60mm, here you are looking at the measure from the bottom to its highest point. Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
Shark RV912S, at 83mm
measures more in height than the Lefant M213 with a difference of 23mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage. The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Lefant M213's battery power is 1,800mAh
The operating time of the Lefant M213 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged. Lefant M213's operating time is 2h
Shark RV912S, at 2h
has the same operating time as the Lefant M213
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Lefant M213 has a charge time of 4h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle.
Shark RV912S, at 6h
charges for longer than the Lefant M213 with a difference of 2h. Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
