Okay, let's talk about my new cleaning BFF/nemesis - the Lefant M210 Pro. After returning TWO fancy Roombas that acted like confused puppies, this little guy popped up on Amazon looking all affordable and promising. Meet Rosey (yes, I named her).

The Good: This thing is a BEAST with pet hair. I've got two shedding machines masquerading as cats, and Rosey sucks up enough fur daily to make a whole new pet. The no-brush design means zero hair tangles - take notes, Roomba! The app controls are decent (when they work), and at half the price of competitors? Major win.

The Quirky: Her navigation skills? Let's say she cleans like she's had one too many margaritas. The 'real-time mapping' is more like 'real-time abstract art' that disappears if you pause her. Watching her hunt for the charger is like watching someone park a semi-truck blindfolded.

Pro Tip: Hide your cables unless you enjoy playing robot rescue every 20 minutes. Also, shag carpets confuse her - she just bumps into them repeatedly like they owe her money.

Bottom line? For the price, she's amazing at keeping fur apocalypse at bay. Just don't expect military precision - think of her more as an enthusiastic cleaning intern who sometimes gets distracted.
