The robot vacuum industry is fierce, with companies quickly releasing new robot vacuums that surpass the competition in specs and price. Today, you have the choice of selecting all kinds of alternatives to “classic” iRobot vacuums, which are quickly falling behind the competition. The C12 PRO Plus is Yeedi’s latest vacuum, and it’s a great value for your money, currently sitting at $349 (originally $599) after a $150 on-page coupon.
The Yeedi C12 PRO Plus has a combination of features that you won’t find in any robot vacuum under $350: a self-emptying dust bin that can last up to seven weeks before needing to empty it; 8,000 pascals of suction power, which is impressive for its price; a mop pad that scrubs the floor 480 times per minute with a downward force that can get some dry stains off the floor; smart mapping of your home; ability to set schedules; boosted suction on carpet; anti-tangle technology on the roller; and an up to five-hour battery capacity.
A handy feature of this robot vacuum is that you don’t need to buy dust bags for it—you can empty out the debris very much like you would a stick vacuum (you press the release button and the debris drops from below). It’s a simple, money-saving feature that makes you wonder why other companies don’t do the same.
The vacuum’s mop feature works well and is superior to the Roomba Combo j5+ Robot Vacuum and Mop I was previously using at home. The vacuuming also seems to pick up debris that my Roomba doesn’t normally pick up. The setup with the app was painless and took about 10 minutes to complete. The mapping of my 1,300-square-foot home also took about 10 minutes, which is much faster than the Roomba.
