The yeedi vac station is a robot vacuum with a self-emptying feature. It feels well-built, has a remarkably long battery life, and does an excellent job of maneuvering itself. It also delivers excellent performance on bare floors and clears an impressive amount of debris on high-pile carpet. Unfortunately, it struggles somewhat with sucking up debris like sand or baking soda from low-pile carpets. It also incurs high recurring costs and has many parts that require regular maintenance.
The yeedi vac station is very good for bare floors. It easily clears pet hair as well as small debris like rice and bulky material like cereal. It offers a wide range of automation features, including its self-emptying function. It also does an excellent job of maneuvering itself.

The yeedi vac station is okay for low-pile carpet. It sucks up pet hair without issue but can struggle in clearing fine debris like baking soda as well as larger material like sand. It also has many parts that need to be replaced regularly, leading to high recurring costs, and has fairly demanding maintenance requirements. Still, it feels very well-built, has a long battery life, and has a wide selection of automation features.
The yeedi vac station is a good option for cleaning high-pile carpet. It sucks up pet hair and large debris without an issue, but it may need to make an extra pass in order to clear fine debris like baking soda. It can easily maneuver on this surface type, and it can automatically increase its suction power once it detects that it's on carpet. Battery performance is superb, and the vacuum itself feels very well-built.
The yeedi vac station is excellent for cleaning up pet hair. It easily clears pet hair on a variety of surface types and has a removable brushroll, allowing you to clear any tangled hair without too much effort. However, while it feels well-built, there are many parts that should be regularly cleaned or even replaced, so recurring costs are high. It also lacks a HEPA filter to trap allergens as it cleans.
The yeedi vac station is a robot vacuum and isn't designed to clean stairs.
The yeedi vac station is a robot vacuum and isn't meant to clean the inside of your car.
The yeedi vac station feels well-built. The vacuum body and base station are both made of primarily matte-finish hard plastic that looks premium. It feels sturdy for the most part too, though the vacuum's internal dustbin does feel as though it could break if it were dropped.
Set-up is fairly simple too, requiring only that you attach the base to the dust container with the provided screws and screwdriver
The yeedi vac station has many parts that require regular maintenance.
We don't currently evaluate mopping performance, so the associated user maintenance for mopping attachments doesn't factor into this section's score. That said, the maintenance requirements for the mopping attachments are as follows.
This vacuum has many recurring costs.
yeedi sells these components individually as well as replenishment kits, which include 2x side brushes, 1x brushroll, and 3x filters.

The combined capacity of the yeedi vac station's external dirtbag and its internal dustbin is impressive. The dirtbag is advertised to hold 30 days worth of accumulated debris, but you can't easily check how full it is from the outside.
The yeedi vac station's range is limited only by the room left in its dirt compartment and its remaining battery life. However, it can't climb or descend staircases.
The yeedi vac station is very portable. While it lacks a carrying handle, it still doesn't weigh that much, so you can pick it up without too much effort.
The yeedi vac station has fantastic battery performance. On its 'Standard' suction power setting, it supplies almost 180 minutes of runtime on a single charge. Using it in its 'Max+' suction power mode, its battery life drops to little over 80 minutes, though this should be sufficient for most spaces. However, it's worth noting that battery life can vary drastically in the real world. It also takes considerably longer to recharge than alternatives like the iRobot Roomba j7+. You can keep tabs on the vacuum's remaining charge by looking at the 'Auto' mode button on top of the vacuum, which turns from white to red when its battery is running low.
The yeedi vac station has a couple of quality of life features. It has three suction power modes: 'Standard', 'Max', and 'Max+'. The vacuum automatically switches to its highest power setting once it detects that it's on carpet. It's also advertised to stop mopping on carpets, but note that we don't currently test for this.
The yeedi vac station comes with a side brush to direct debris onto the path of its primary brushroll. There's also a cleaning tool to clear tangled hair or stuck-on debris. This vacuum is also equipped with a mopping attachment to clear messes on bare floors, but we don't currently test its perfomance.
The yeedi vac station delivers excellent performance on bare floors. It clears pet hair and small debris like rice without difficulty. It also does a very good job of sucking up bulky material such as cereal.
Note: All testing was completed when the dirt compartment was empty, with the data for the 0.25L, 0.75L, and 1.25L tests being copied from the 0L test. Since this vacuum automatically empties its internal dirt compartment when docked after completing its job, it doesn't lose suction performance.
The yeedi vac station's performance on low-pile carpet is passable. It clears pet hair without difficulty, but it may need to make an extra pass in order to clear fine debris like baking soda or larger material like sand.

The yeedi vac station has amazing maneuverability. It's small enough to easily navigate under tables and couches. Its automatic suction power adjustment feature is effective in adjusting suction depending on the surface that it's on. It also doesn't get stuck on obstructions like electrical cords or rugs, though it may drag them around. Unfortunately, it can get caught on rug tassels, and the manufacturer recommends tucking them under rugs in order to reduce the risk of the vacuum getting stuck on them.
The yeedi vac station offers a remarkable range of automation features. This includes its self-emptying function, which does reduce hands-on maintenance requirements. Its smart-pathing navigation system creates a permanent map of its coverage area, which you can then use with a variety of functions via its companion app. Unlike the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum, you can set up virtual boundary lines. You can schedule cleaning sessions for individual rooms or even small specific areas too. The app can also be used to check the estimated service life of various components, change its suction power mode, or check its remaining battery charge level.
The yeedi vac station is only available in one color variant: 'White', and you can see its label here.
