TechRadar Verdict
The Yeedi C12 Pro Plus is pretty darn good for a mid-tier robot vacuum.
If your budget is limited to around $600, it might even be among thebest robot vacuumsfor you.
While I consider it mid-tier, it’s among the most affordable options out there that include mopping functionality.
My review model, ready to start testing
You will have to make a few concessions for that lower price point.
But, it doesn’t look quite as cool.
Despite that, this robot vacuum has some aesthetic appeal.
Unusually, the dock dustbin is clear, so you can see the filter and debris
Instead of trying to be discreet, the base station is bold, and that’s something I appreciate.
Since it doesn’t have water reservoirs, it also doesn’t take up a ton of space.
There’s just a dustbin into which the (small) onboard dust cup self-empties after every use.
There are separate backplates for mopping and vacuuming
As far as the robot vacuum itself, it has the usual round shape with the protruding center.
And there are three buttons on top for basic controls.
There’s just one side brush here, but at least the roller underneath is of the anti-tangling variety.
The C12 Pro Plus had no issues sucking up breakfast cereal
Beyond that, it did well vacuuming up larger pieces of debris.
It only has one side brush not unusual, although you will find some robovacs double up here.
However, on test I was quite impressed.
This anti-tangle brushroll works well
Mopping the edges of rooms is a common issue with robovacs.
That means the mopping can’t get right up to the edges of rooms.
As mentioned before, when in mopping mode, it will avoid carpets.
The robovac did a good job of clearing this diet Coke spillage
One area where the Yeedi C12 Pro Plus fell down a little was its object avoidance.
There are a number of noteworthy things in the app.
You’ll either need to use the app or the physical buttons on the robot vacuum itself.
The C12 Pro Plus successfully identified and avoided mopping the bathmat, but ran straight into the bottle
Should you buy the Yeedi C12 Pro Plus?
The anti-tangle brushroll worked as advertised, too.
However, do note my comment below regarding object avoidance.
Cliff sensors ensure the robovac doesn’t take a tumble down stairs
Its easy to use and manipulate so that you’re free to more easily spot clean.
If you want to use Alexa, Siri, etc.
to control your robot vacuum, you’ll have to look elsewhere.
Yeedi C12 Pro Plus review: also consider
Not sold on the Yeedi C12 Pro Plus?
Here are some alternatives to consider.
I focused on how well the vacuum cleaned the edges of a room as well as around obstacles.
I also tested the features listed in the app, most notably the mapping.
