Yeedi Vacuums

Ecovacs Robotics, the maker of Deebot robots, sells its lower-priced machines under the Yeedi name. The brand's job is to bring features from Ecovacs' flagship docks down a price tier or two, and the models listed here all come with a full dock that empties the robot, washes the mop and dries it with hot air. Yeedi sells through its own US store, where models move quickly between "coming soon", current and clearance.

The model numbers do not map neatly onto price. The M14 Plus ($400) is well equipped for its price: a roller mop washed in 167°F water, 18,000 Pa of rated suction, and an edge-cleaning mode that pushes the roller toward baseboards. The M12 Pro Gen2 ($360) costs about the same but leaves out hot-water washing and automatic detergent dosing, so Yeedi advertises heat only for the drying step, not the wash. In exchange it is rated at 25,000 Pa. The S16 Plus ($500) adds a lift system that raises both the mop and the brushes over carpet and has the longest rated runtime here, at 252 minutes. The M16 Infinity ($480) is rated at 30,000 Pa, with a longer roller, fast-charge top-ups and a dock that adds detergent by itself.

Yeedi's models have little long-term ownership record yet, and the specs leave real gaps. Yeedi publishes the dock's capabilities but not the robot's own dustbin and water-tank sizes, weight or dimensions, which makes it hard to tell how often each robot will need to return to the dock mid-clean.

Check the status on Yeedi's store before buying. The S16 Plus is marked clearance there, which usually means a model is on its way out, and the M12 Pro Gen2 was listed as coming soon. For a robot with a short track record, a generous return window from the seller is worth more than a small difference in price.
