Pros & cons
Yeedi M12 Pro Gen2
- ✓25,000 Pa suction is strong for the price
- ✓True LDS LiDAR navigation, not a cheaper camera/gyroscope substitute
- ✓Full auto-empty, auto-wash, auto-dry dock cycle
- ✓Carpet detection with automatic mop lifting
- ✓Multi-floor mapping and no-go zones via the Yeedi app
- ✓Around $300 street price undercuts comparable LiDAR self-empty robots
- ✗No hot water for the mop-wash cycle — only hot air for drying
- ✗No auto-detergent dispensing, unlike Yeedi's pricier M14/M16 models
- ✗Manufacturer doesn't publish the robot's own dustbin, tank, weight, or dimensions
- ✗Only a 1-year warranty
- ✗The exact 'M12 Pro+' name from earlier product cycles is gone — this Gen2 replaced it, so buyers searching the old name may land on discontinued listings
Yeedi S16 Plus
- ✓16,600 Pa suction with confirmed LiDAR navigation (not left ambiguous, unlike some Yeedi listings)
- ✓Triple Lift System physically raises the mop and brushes over carpet rather than just avoiding it
- ✓167°F hot water mop washing and hot air drying at the dock
- ✓Self-empty station rated for 150 days of hands-free operation
- ✓252-minute rated runtime is long for the class
- ✓Meaningfully cheaper than Yeedi's own M16 Infinity for similar suction and dock features
- ✗Listed under clearance pricing on yeedi.com, suggesting it may be phased out for newer M-series models
- ✗No published robot-only dustbin, water tank, weight, or dimensions
- ✗Yeedi has far less established US ownership history than Ecovacs or Roborock
- ✗Only a 1-year warranty on a $400+ machine
- ✗2.4GHz WiFi only, no 5GHz support
