Yeedi M14 Plus

What testers say about the Yeedi M14 Plus

The 241 minutes of runtime listed for the Yeedi M14 Plus, 41 minutes beyond what its peers claim, held up in neither lab. Vacuum Wars measured the battery draining faster than its average robot's, and in the home of Just A Dad Approved the robot went back to recharge several times before one clean was finished. In a larger home a full clean therefore comes in instalments, with charging breaks between them.

Hair is where the two labs part ways. Vacuum Wars recovered 95 per cent of the pet hair it had flattened into carpet, where its average robot manages 72 per cent, and scored pet hair 4.21 out of 5 with 3.735 as its median. Just A Dad Approved, in its own hair test, saw hair wind round the single brush and block the station's emptying, and gave 6 out of 10 where it usually gives 6.5. The 220-milliliter bin, 80 milliliters short of the usual 300, fills quickly either way.

The roller mop is common ground. It scored 8 out of 10 with Just A Dad Approved, half a point over its median, and Vacuum Wars saw it take up damp spills and leave the floor close to dry, though dried stains needed the wettest setting. A sensor at the front spotted spills in the home test, mopped them in a crossing pattern and sent the roller back to the station for a rinse in 167 °F water, the same temperature its peers use.

Each point sums up, in our words, the review of the test it names, and its link leads to that review. We do not summarize RTINGS or Wirecutter: their lists are linked above.
