yeedi vac station Vacuum Review

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.

• Dustbin: The dustbin is found under the top cover of the vacuum and has a handle for easy removal. A release button on the dustbin opens the door and drops any accumulated debris. The vacuum automatically dumps accumulated debris into the external dirt bin on the charging dock, but you can empty it yourself if you feel that it's necessary.
• Internal filters: The high-efficiency and sponge filters are located behind the internal dustbin door and can be simply pulled out. They should be rinsed with water once a week and left to dry for at least 24 hours before you can reuse them.
• Base station dust bag: You can access the dirtbag by pressing the release button on the top of the base station and then pulling it out. The bag features a locking mechanism that prevents any debris from spilling out when it's removed from its housing. It should be disposed of once it gets full.
• Base station: The base station's charging pins and sensors should be cleared of any dust or debris regularly. If necessary, you should also clean the blower cover, found under the dirtbag, as well as the dust evacuation tube cover, which is located under the base station but first needs to be unscrewed from its housing.
• Brushroll: To access the brushroll, you must first remove the brush guard from under the vacuum. It can then be pulled from its housing, and you can remove any tangled hair or stuck-on debris. This should be done once a week.
• Side brushes: You should clear the side brushes of any stuck-on debris every two weeks.
• Front wheel: The front wheel can't be removed from its housing, but you should still try to clear any accumulated dust, dirt, or hair from this component when necessary.
• Sensors and charging pads: You should dust the sensors and charging pads whenever you notice a buildup of debris.

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.

• Water reservoir: You can pull out the water reservoir by pressing the release button on the back of the vacuum. It should be emptied out after the vacuum is finished mopping. Make sure to remove the rubber lid cover before cleaning it out with water, which should be done following every use.
• Mopping pad plate: The mopping pad plate should be cleaned after the end of each mopping session.
• Mopping pad: The mopping pad is washable and should be cleaned after the end of each mopping session.

This vacuum has many recurring costs.

• High-efficiency filter: The high-efficiency filter should be replaced every three to six months or after 120 hours of cleaning time.
• Base station dust bag: The dustbag should hold 30 days worth of debris. They can be purchased in packs of three.
• Brushroll: The brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours of cleaning time, depending on your usage.
• Side brushes: The side brushes should be replaced every three to six months or after 150 hours of cleaning time.

yeedi sells these components individually as well as replenishment kits, which include 2x side brushes, 1x brushroll, and 3x filters.

The yeedi vac station is impressively easy to store. Its base station is roughly the same size as that of the iRobot Roomba i7+, and the vacuum itself is small enough to fit under tables or closets.

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 offers great performance on high-pile carpet. It clears pet hair without an issue and sucks up a good amount of larger debris like sand. That said, it struggles somewhat with fine debris such as baking soda.

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.
