• Glossy design
• Massive base station

The Yeedi S14 Plus delivers every thing you’d count on from a high-end robotic vacuum however provides a twist within the form of a curler mop. As an alternative of the mop pad you’ll see on price range or older fashions, or the flagship rotating mops, Yeedi is banking on new know-how within the type of a curler mop, which we’ve beforehand solely seen on conventional, hand operated moist and dry vacuums.

The S14 Plus will do every thing you count on from a robotic vacuum, utilizing sensors to recognise what’s on the bottom, map the house, and navigate round obstacles.

The highest of the robotic incorporates a contact button and an easy-to-remove plate to reveal the ability change and the Wi-Fi button, alongside a QR code that can provide help to to shortly discover the Yeedi app on your cellphone.

In case you’re searching for a compact station, this isn’t the one for you because it’s pretty tall and huge, with the very high occupied by the 2 water tanks for clear and soiled water. The entrance incorporates a detachable plate protecting mud bag compartment.

Efficiency & Options

• Highly effective: 18,000 Pa suction energy
• Curler mop cleansing
• Anti-hair wrap know-how

The very first thing you’re going to do is pair the robotic with the Yeedi app, which is tremendous simple to do and solely takes a couple of minutes of your time. This isn’t the primary time I’ve reviewed a Yeedi robotic vacuum, however it’s been some time since I used the app, so I used to be pleasantly shocked by software program updates which have made it sleeker, simpler to make use of, and easy to navigate.

The Yeedi S14 Plus permits you to select between a number of cleansing modes, together with vacuuming solely, vacuuming and mopping on the similar time, and mopping after vacuuming. I personally want the latter as I really feel it offers higher outcomes whenever you take away particles and hair off the flooring first, earlier than introducing a mop.

Different selections you can also make from the app are altering the suction energy, water circulation fee, cleansing velocity, and selecting whether or not you need the robotic to take one or two cleansing passes.

Throughout the app’s extra superior settings, you can also make different changes, similar to having the robotic routinely improve suction energy when it detects carpet, cleansing the carpet earlier than different areas, and extra.

The S14 Plus is pretty quick in mapping the house. As soon as that map is full, you possibly can identify areas, arrange digital boundaries, divide areas that have been mapped as an entire by mistake, add furnishings, select flooring supplies, and so forth.

If you wish to challenge voice instructions to start out cleansing jobs, you possibly can combine the Yeedi app with Alexa or Google Assistant.

With 18,000 Pa of suction energy, this robotic delivered nice outcomes throughout all flooring varieties, choosing up filth, particles, and pet hair from all surfaces. After my canines and cat chase one another round the home, there’s sometimes a number of hair flying round, however the Yeedi dealt with it properly.

It additionally carried out properly after I ran some assessments, throwing down rice in a single occasion and occasional grounds in one other. The S14 Plus methodically went over the world, choosing up each grain of rice and each speck of espresso mud, with out spreading fiddle.

As this isn’t the primary Yeedi I’ve reviewed, I used to be apprehensive about navigation and impediment avoidance. Up to now, this has all the time been a difficulty. Whereas the robotic may, for essentially the most half, discover its method round the home and return to its base, it will eat any socks I left on the ground, get twisted up in wires, and so forth.

This time round, I used to be pleasantly shocked to seek out that that not solely did it all the time effectively navigate the house, however it additionally (lastly) averted obstacles. I threw down some socks, a wire, and one in all my child’s toys to see the way it handled them.

The S14 Plus utterly averted the socks and the wire, rigorously cleansing round them and gently pushing the toy a bit to make room to scrub. It didn’t, nevertheless, barrel straight by it. This was an enormous enchancment over earlier experiences, so I declare myself proud of the efficiency.

S14 Plus has a two-tier system for coping with hair that’s sometimes tangled across the brush bar. First, there’s a wrap-resistant V-shaped rubber brush. Even higher, there’s additionally a set of combs that can minimize lengthy strands of hair.

Now, on to the most effective half: the mop. As an alternative of the price range mop plate that’s dragged beneath the robotic, or the present flagship favorite, rotating twin mops, the Yeedi S14 Plus incorporates a curler mop. Because the robotic strikes round, the mop is continually washed, the filth is scraped off, and the water is recovered. This implies it gained’t unfold mess or moist the flooring an excessive amount of.

The mop additionally applies stress to higher scrub the flooring and take away espresso stains, your pet’s soiled paw prints, and so forth. The mop additionally extends to the facet to extra effectively attain corners and edges.

I discovered one of these mopping a minimum of on par, if not an enchancment on, rotating mops. However there’s a draw back: I seen some post-mopping tracks. It’s not the top of the world, in fact, however when you have light-coloured flooring, you could spot these too.

As I encountered a difficulty that left me scratching my head for a few minutes, I’ll share simply find out how to take out the mop to exchange it. A substitute set that incorporates a brush, two facet brushes, three filters, three mud baggage, and a curler mop prices $60 at Amazon earlier than reductions.

However, how do you take away it? Brute power isn’t the reply. You don’t even have to show the robotic stomach up (like I did). As an alternative, you go into the app, faucet on the settings button within the higher nook, after which scroll all the way in which to the underside till you discover the “Curler Mop Launch/Retract” button. When you press that button, the mop will routinely disengage and you’ll simply pull it out and exchange it. Straightforward-peasy.

The station takes on a number of jobs, together with washing and drying the mops and washing the bottom itself. Nevertheless, you continue to have some upkeep to maintain, together with wiping the sensors and taking out the baseplate, as you’ll see a number of filth build-up over time.

Must you purchase the Yeedi S14 Plus?

We expect the S14 Plus is a major step up from different Yeedi robotic vacuums we’ve examined. Partly that is right down to the up to date app, which is rather more user-friendly. However we additionally suppose this mannequin packs in a number of spectacular options for its worth: highly effective suction, good impediment avoidance, the extending sweeper, and the excellent dock, which takes care of a lot of the robotic’s day-to-day upkeep.

We additionally preferred the design of the mopping rollers, which don’t unfold mess or water round your flooring.
