The Yeedi Vac Max smart vacuum isn't perfect, but shoppers on a budget should give it strong consideration.
Yeedi Vac Max MSRP $370.00 Score Details DT Recommended Product “A robust companion app, adjustable suction levels, and an affordable price make this robot vacuum an enticing option.” Pros Cons Robot vacuums have come a long way over the past few years. No longer are consumers limited to high-end models that cost close to $1,000, as multiple companies have thrown their hats into the ring and are providing surprisingly efficient products for half the cost of their competitors.
Using the powerful Yeedi app to map your home Before you can have your robot cleaner whizzing around your house, you’ll first need to go through a rather lengthy setup phase. This process sees you connecting Yeedi to your home Wi-Fi network and installing the app on your smartphone. With that out of the way, Yeedi will then roam every corner of your home as it maps out your living space.
Several mopping settings are available that change the amount of water used in cleaning, although I found that the medium option was the most practical. Other settings either didn’t put down enough water for proper cleaning or soaked the floor more than necessary. The mopping functionality is a nice touch, but it’s not executed nearly as well as the vacuum.
But for $370, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more feature-complete robot vacuum in this price range.
