What you can expect from the Yeedi S14 Plus
What testers say about the Yeedi S14 Plus
Hair and sand got opposite results from the Yeedi S14 Plus at Vacuum Wars. It cleared 97% of the pet hair flattened into carpet, where the lab's average is 81%, and left no strands wound round the brush, which lifts its pet hair score to 4.02 out of 5, past the 3.735 median. Sand worked deep into the pile was another matter: the vacuuming score falls well under the lab's median, so a thick hallway rug keeps some of the grit walked into it.
The roller mop did better than the lab's average. It shifted dried stains, left the floor almost dry, and slides out towards the baseboard. A camera with its own light helped it dodge more objects than the typical robot there, in the dark as well.
The lidar sits inside the body instead of in a turret, yet the body measures 3.9 inches, no lower than the 3.8 inches of its peers, so it gains nothing under a sofa. The 220-milliliter bin, 80 milliliters less than usual, means extra runs to the station in a home with a moulting dog.
