If you’re looking for a robot vacuum or dual vacuum and mop, you know by now there’s a tonne of brands and models. While there are some big names that get a lot of attention they have big price tags to match. One of the lesser known brands I’ve come across is Yeedi. While the brand is known for it’s lower cost options, so far I’ve found the bots pretty capable. Today I’m looking at the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro. In my hands on, in-home review, I’ll look at what this bot can do, how well it cleans, what kind of special features it has and if I can recommend it for you.
Simply put this is a dual vacuum and mopping robot with a self emptying vacuum base and charging station. The key innovation with this one is that it uses a scrubbing mopping plate underneath, and that’s suppose to mean a deeper more thorough clean.
Yeedi also says this bot has 3D obstacle avoidance and carpet detection while in mopping mode to keep the wet mop off your rugs.
Set up
While your bot is charging download the Yeedi app and log into or sign up for an account. The app makes it super easy to add your bot; the app will show you how to turn the bot on and set it in pairing more, then walk you through connecting it to your home’s Wi-Fi. In less than 5 minutes I was connected.
You can divide up your spaces more accurately in the map, and apply labels for each room. This will help with room-specific cleaning or voice control.
Glitchy room division
In my testing the app was very finicky at letting me divide my spaces up, and I constantly got messages saying “please adjust the dividing line” and “make sure the dividing line intersects with the room at two points. The weird little dividing line was not intuitive to manoeuvre. The glitchy feature meant I was unable to divide my largest spaces; the kitchen, living room and dining room.
Vacuum or mop: but with actual scrubbing
When in mopping mode, the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is supposed to avoid carpets to keep them from getting dampened. I can confirm this is true from my testing: the bot carefully avoided venturing onto rugs while the mop was scrubbing.
The scrubbing mop is actually a cool innovation (and watch my review video above to see it scrub stains off the floor with ease!). Past robot mops simply drag a damp rag across your floors, but the Yeedi Vac 2’s plate oscillates back and forth quickly, to truly scrub your floors clean. I did see a noticeable improvement in the wet mopping this bot was able to do.
How well does Yeedi Vac 2 Pro clean?
I put all my vacuums through the same tests; I get them to sweep up finer things like flour or sugar, middle sized bits like rice or oatmeal and bigger cracker pieces, on both carpet and hard floors. With mopping I’ll let them clean dog paw prints or dried coffee.
Let’s start with the mopping.
I was blown away by the effectiveness of this mop. The scrubbing plate is really good at pulling dirt from my floors and was particularly effective at cleaning during a muddy week when the dogs were tracking dirt into the house. The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro was able to mop my floors clean every time.
The next time I did a cleanup and manually prompted the bot to empty the dustbin, it again left a good amount of the debris inside. I’m not sure if this is a design flaw or what…I ran another few of tests and the same thing happened; it seems to me the outlets can get clogged up with pet hair in particular… leading to it not emptying or only partially emptying…
Overall review: Yeedi Vac 2 Pro
Overall, I’m surprised at how much I like this bot and love the mopping. With my two dogs, it’s a very effective mopping device and I have absolutely no complaints about it.
The vacuum was also really effective at picking up all my debris challenges on both carpeted areas and hard floors. The battery lasted amazingly well for me and it was able to clean my whole home on a single charge easily.
When it comes to downsides, I found the map to be a bit glitchy when it came to managing rooms and spaces. And the dust bin was not extremely effective at fully emptying. Since this was an ongoing problem it’s a bit of a red flag for me. I’m torn - this is easily the best mop on the market, but when the vacuum struggles and doesn't empty properly, that affects its ability to pick up more dirt, and this trouble makes the whole device kind of 50% less useful. For that reason I’m not going to be recommending it until the dustbin emptying improves.
It sells for about $649USD with the base station (I have seen it on sale for less) and you can get it from Yeedi’s website or Amazon.

Thankfully for the yeedi vac 2 pro model I purchased in 2023, the dustbin has never given any issues emptying itself.

[@user-rx8qq8sk9ydv1ce5ib]

Thanks for the Video. Is it possible to add detergent with the mopping water, noting that many other brands do not allow that? Thanks

[@wesfishcare]

Great video Erin! Other auto-empty robots have similar issues emptying with an abundance of pet hair. More frequent vacuuming can help. It's just too challenging for it to empty a *packed* dustbin.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

So true!

[@catlayland8734]

Dog/cat hair clogging the bin exactly as it does with my Shark stick and Dyson vacuums. Not surprised!

[@great-stuff-6688]

Thank you so much for sharing. Love this robot vacuum 🎧

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

So glad to hear that, thanks for watching!

[@BlackHall_Home]

Great review

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks!

[@AngeliaHoward]

I agree with the issue with the auto empty not emptying.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@googlehas]

I really like your videos and how useful they are and maybe one of these days would you like to take up my offer to show my new devices

[@user-er2uu2eg2o]

it's just like a shower drain. 1 or 2 pieces of hair will drain, but if you have too much ofc it's going to get stuck, you can't compare dust to hair. I'm just curious if it will suck up cereal and objects like that

[@musafa3032]

I'm looking for a vacuum that will avoid carpets ( I always vacuum my carpets with my other vacuum to make sure it's clean) and electric cords. I thought yeedi was the one I'm looking for, but when I saw your video, it made me think twice about buying this one. And I want a robovac that is having a letter U pattern, not the vacuum that is going here and there because I want to make sure that my house is 100 percent clean. Can you recommend something? Thank you!❤

[@ClementYeap]

The mapping system is also a flaw especially going into room with carpet surface. The map will show differently on the distance they went. Ended up they still in same room but map shows it already 'outside the house'. Another worst case is always unable to find way to get back station, she is lost. Like what you mentioned. The sensor seem useless as it always bang on the way.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Yes, that's too bad.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Erin.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Hey Rob! I hope you’re well. 🙂

[@asadawadia]

How do you change the mode of the vacuum robot? It wont show the map feature in the app anymore

[@EvelynDeiree]

Thank you, Erin! Which one is better? Yeedi vac 2 Pro or ecovacs n8 Pro?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Ooohhhhh. Good choices. I do really like the mopping on the Yeedi vac 2 pro.

[@jloiterer]

The dust bin not auto emptying has been an issue for me. I have a different model so I think it may be a problem with their product line. It does do a good job of cleaning though. I got my Yeedi as a trial of robo vacuums a few months ago. If I was going to upgrade at some point I'd only by a Yeedi if they sort out the dust been auto-empty problem.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Great feedback for those who are shopping for a robot vacuum. Thanks for posting it here.

[@solutionsfour]

hi Erin, I'm in the market for a robot vacuum but as I'm retentive about mopping I want one with the best mop that I can afford. As a result came across your review. This was in my price range. Perhaps in time there will be a series 2 that resolves the issues you have mentioned. How would you rate this against the Roborock S7? I found your video very professional so I've subscribed and will continue to check out your other reviews. Well done!

[@FastLaneTKO]

I have both and the yeedi is terrible. It’s not even close the S7. I have dogs and the yeedi is very susceptible to tangling. I even have a cheap $100 eufy 25c that resists tangles better. I have to help the yeedi at least every other day. (So much for autonomy). I clean the S7 maybe once a month. For me it’s worth the difference in price. Good luck!

[@simonknight2973]

Thanks for the video. Do you stand by this review a year or so later? Yeedi appear to be selling for a crazy discounted price of £100.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It’s still good. Thing is better bots have come on the market. My top picks - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-QfZ6YrpiHnrs

[@MrBlueCreeper]

Unfortunately, the self-emptying bin is a design flaw, and there’s almost no way to fix it unless they redesign the bin. It sucks debris out of 2 holes, and the vacuum motor has to be strong enough to pretty much break apart the hair. Because the vacuum motor is weak, it therefor will clog. The only way is to tell it to empty every 2 minutes, 5 minutes, etc.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Agreed!

[@robidsgarage]

Good video. I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to cross a black line on my carpet without having to tape the sensors like everyone is saying. It won't go past a 3 foot area because of this. I may be sending this back because of this.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Whaaaaaa? That’s interesting… Does it think the black line is a drop off?

[@aktunav]

Without a docking station, maybe still the best...

[@magnus33john]

It actually has two major flaws not one. Yeedi advertises there vacs as being Alexa and google working which is only just barely true. You can turn them on and off with either platform but room cleaning, return to dock and all the other common functions they advertise are in fact a complete lie. It does none of those things and its also very clear the integration they hacked in was meant for something else as the only option you do get is for delicates...yup the integration was originally meant for a washer and they couldn't be bothered editing it out🙄. Good hard hamstrung by bad support.

[@jenita35]

Wow that's a lot of dog hair. How often do you use?

[@johnnymcleanvlogs]

got to have one just send to me

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Right?

[@eric131313]

Yeedis biggest problem is horrible app and navigation firmware

[@jonnylee8538]

What can you expect, it's from Ecovacs.
