The iRobot offers 15,000 Pa and 173 minutes, the Lefant offers 4,000 Pa and 200 minutes, and the SwitchBot offers 6,000 Pa and 150 minutes. Dust bins differ: the Lefant holds 0.5 L, the SwitchBot holds 4 L, and the ILIFE holds 0.3 L. Compare those figures with the floor area and the amount of debris you expect between emptying.
Mopping, navigation and emptying
Mopping, navigation and emptying change daily use more than suction alone. The iRobot and SwitchBot picks mop, while the SwitchBot pick also empties itself into a 4 L dust bag. For navigation, the iRobot uses LiDAR and the SwitchBot uses LDS LiDAR, both mapping rooms for planned routes. The Lefant offers app control with scheduled cleaning. The ILIFE offers remote control with scheduled cleaning.
Height, floors and controls
Height decides whether a robot fits under low furniture, and floor type decides which surface claims matter. The Lefant is 2.99 inches high, the SwitchBot is 3.6 inches high, and the ILIFE is 2.99 inches high. For floors, the Lefant and ILIFE picks focus on hard floors and pet hair, while the SwitchBot covers hard floors and short wool carpet.
