ZDNET’s Key Takeaways
- The Yeedi S14 Plus is available for a retail price of $1,400, though an introductory offer puts it at $950 for a limited time.
- This Yeedi is a big upgrade from almost any robot vacuum on the market, with 18,000Pa of suction and a self-cleaning mop roller.
- The S14 Plus doesn’t have a detergent dispenser, its obstacle avoidance could be better, and it has an odd plastic smell (though that could be my unit).
Introduction
I’ve been testing the best Yeedi robot vacuum and mop I’ve used so far, the Yeedi S14 Plus, and have been impressed from the beginning. This robot vacuum and mop features some of the strongest suction on the market, an intelligent navigation process, and a self-cleaning mop roller, all housed in a hands-free charging dock.
Design and Features
The S14 Plus is physically very similar to the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni I recently reviewed, down to the robot’s build and mop roller technology. That’s because Yeedi and Ecovacs are sister companies, with the former capitalizing on creating more entry-level and budget-friendly alternatives to the more upscale Ecovacs robots.
Performance
The S14 Plus robot vacuum is packed with some of the best cleaning technology available. It has a zero-tangle system with a triangular brush that directs hair to the nozzle without wrapping around the brush. The system is so effective that the robot has kept my floors free of my dogs’ shed hair for weeks without once getting stuck on pet hair.
Mopping System
The mopping system appears to be the same as the X8 Pro Omni; an OZMO roller mop created by another sister company, Tineco. This type of roller mop has separate clean and dirty water tanks within the robot. Clean water is constantly sprayed on the roller mop while it spins on your hard floors, and the mop is simultaneously scraped and wrung to remove the dirty water, which is directed to a dirty water tank.
Conclusion
The Yeedi S14 Plus robot vacuum and mop cleans really well in cluttered areas and its roller mop can tackle stains that traditional microfiber pads and dual rotating mop heads cannot, including dry coffee and juice stains. Instead of spreading the dirt and stains around, the rotating mop head ensures the mess is suctioned up into the robot’s dirty water tank. With strong suction power and the ability to leave your floors pet hair-free, getting a Yeedi S14 Plus would be a definite upgrade for almost any current robot vacuum user.
