Yeedi M14 Plus Review

Let’s get this out of the way early: I’m not someone who gets excited about vacuuming. Or mopping. Or any kind of floor care, really. I live in a home where there’s always a bit of dust and fuzz tumbling across the floor, a spill that got missed, or mysterious crumbs that seem to appear out of nowhere. My 18-month-old dog can’t seem to walk past a toy without shredding them just a little more. So when a robot vacuum shows up claiming to clean better, mop smarter, and manage itself without constant babysitting, you better believe I’m paying attention.

That’s pretty much how I approached the Yeedi M14 Plus. It arrived promising next-level suction, hot water mop cleaning, edge-to-edge coverage, and nearly hands-free maintenance thanks to its all-in-one OMNI station. I’ve spent the last few weeks putting it through its paces across hardwood, tile, carpet, and a daily rotation of messes.

Here’s what stood out, and what may still need a bit of attention, after living with one of Yeedi’s most ambitious robot vacuums yet.

If your home is mostly hard floors like mine, the Yeedi M14 Plus feels built for it; it prioritizes mopping in a way that most hybrid robots just don’t.

First Impressions: Bigger Ambitions in a Big Box

Unboxing the M14 Plus is kind of like unboxing a small appliance suite. You’re not just pulling out a vacuum and charging cable. Inside the hefty box, you’ll find, including:

• The robot vacuum itself
• The large OMNI station (more on that later)
• Clean and dirty water tanks
• A 3-liter dust bag already in place
• A roller mop, main brush, side brush, and filter
• A power cord, a well-written manual, and a quick-start guide

Even before I had the app downloaded, I could tell Yeedi was aiming high. This is more of an ecosystem than a robot vacuum cleaner. The clean lines, the creamy white finish, the transparent water tank window on the station? It all feels considered and intentional, like something designed to live in your space, not hide in a closet.

Setup and First Use: Surprisingly Smooth

Pairing the robot with Yeedi’s app took just a few minutes, though it’s important to note: it only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. That might throw off folks with newer mesh systems or 5GHz-only networks, but most homes will still be fine.

Once connected, the app guided me through my first clean and map creation. It built a full map of my downstairs level in under ten minutes, complete with room dividers and labels I could edit. I was able to name rooms, set no-go zones, and even tweak suction and mopping intensity per room.

There were no firmware updates or hiccups during setup, which already put this robot ahead of a few others I’ve tested recently.

Vacuuming Performance: Great on Hard Floors, Solid on Carpet

Hard Surfaces: This is where the M14 Plus shines. On hardwood, tile, and laminate, the 18,000Pa suction feels like overkill in a good way.

Whether it’s sand tracked in by shoes, pet toys that have been ripped to pieces, or a scattering of coffee beans, cereal, or bits of diced veggies under the counter, the robot picks it all up in one go. You’ll notice cleaner floors even if you’re used to running a robot daily. It just has more raw suction than most models in this class.

Carpets and Rugs: On low-pile and medium-pile rugs, the cleaning is solid. It lifts visible dirt and fluffs up the carpet in a way that makes the room feel fresh, but on high-pile or select rugs, it can hesitate or miss some debris.

It doesn’t have carpet boost settings as aggressive as some competing models, and that’s noticeable if you have a lot of plush flooring. Then again, these are the types of things that are sometimes only noticeable if you have a chance to try different brands and models. The auto-lift mop helps, too, so at least you don’t get wet streaks if it crosses over a rug.

Pet Hair: I tested it with a dog that doesn’t shed much but absolutely, and almost daily, leaves the living room looking like a pet store exploded. Between the strong suction and the updated ZeroTangle 3.0 brush, the M14 Plus keeps up nicely. Hair rarely wraps tightly around the roller, and most of it ends up in the bin on the first pass.

Mopping Performance: Better Than Just “Good for a Robot”

If you’ve ever owned a robot vacuum that tries to mop, you know the usual complaints: streaky floors, weak water flow, and worse, just smearing dirt around. Some models feel like they’re more of a 1.5-in-1 than a 2-in-1 when it comes to hard floors. The M14 Plus doesn’t have those issues.

• Roller Action: The mop spins at 200 RPM, and it applies downward pressure that simulates a real scrubbing motion. That alone puts it above 90% of robot mops, which usually just glide a pad over the floor.
• Stain Removal: I tested it on dried coffee, sticky juice, and those weird mystery stains that show up near the sink and fridge. Everything came up in a single pass. I didn’t need to pre-treat or manually follow up with a Swiffer; it legitimately removed stains I would’ve assumed required elbow grease.
• Hot Water Mop Washing: When the robot returns to the OMNI dock, the mop is washed with hot water (167°F), then dried with warm air. That’s a big deal hygiene-wise and it feels like what should be standard in mopping robots in 2025. Not only does the mop stay clean, it doesn’t develop that musty smell you often get with pad-style robots.
• No-Go Zones and Selective Mopping: The app lets you tell it exactly where to mop and where to skip. I used this to keep it out of carpeted rooms entirely or to send it just to the kitchen after a meal prep session. It’s not perfect, but it’s pretty accurate.

Navigation & Obstacle Handling: Smart, But Occasionally Stubborn

The M14 Plus uses a combination of AI-powered vision, 3D sensors, and radar mapping. In theory, this means it should recognize obstacles like shoes, cords, and furniture legs. In practice it gets most of it right most of the time.

• Furniture & Layout Awareness: It learns your home layout quickly and cleans in straight, efficient lines. It hugs walls well and does a particularly good job with corners and edges thanks to its TruEdge system.
• Obstacles: Light cords and shoes are usually avoided, though it still struggles with very thin cables (like phone chargers). Rug fringe? Still a nemesis. It’s gotten tangled on the same decorative rug fringe more than once. But so have other vacuums.
• Thresholds & Transitions: It’s rated for 20mm threshold crossings, which means it can move between most rooms, but very thick transitions (like older doorway lips or stone floor steps) may require assistance.

Surface Adaptability: Smart Switching, Mostly Reliable

The M14 Plus does a nice job adjusting its behavior based on the surface:

• Vacuum-only on carpets: It lifts the mop out of the way, avoiding that dreaded damp rug issue.
• Custom suction per room: You can set higher suction in the entryway and lower in the bedroom.
• Multi-pass cleaning: Especially useful in high-traffic zones like the kitchen or hallway.

I should say here that you’ll want to verify that it correctly identifies room types. In one case, it misclassified a rug as part of the hard floor area, and while it avoided mopping it during the run, it didn’t mark it correctly on the map. You can fix this manually, but it takes some intervention.

Long-Term Consistency

What impresses me most about the M14 Plus isn’t just the initial runs, but how little it drops off after a few weeks of use. With many robots, you get great results out of the box, but then you start to see:

• Reduced suction from clogged filters
• Mop pads that smell
• Poor navigation due to dirty sensors

Yeedi’s approach with the hot water mop wash, auto-empty dustbin, and reminders for filter or roller maintenance helps keep things running smoothly. You’re not cleaning up after your cleaner every other day.

App Experience: Functional, But Not Quite There

The Yeedi app does the job you’d expect (map, schedule, customize, and track) but it doesn’t feel as refined as some of its competitors. The UI is a bit plain, and while basic tasks are easy, digging into more advanced settings, like multi-pass mopping or adjusting cleaning intensity by room, isn’t always intuitive.

There’s also some lag between issuing a command and seeing the robot respond. Nothing deal-breaking, but if you’re used to near-instant control with another brand, you’ll maybe feel the difference.

Still, I’ve been able to set complex cleaning schedules, define quiet hours, and trigger mop-only passes when needed, all without much trouble. It’s serviceable, and for most users, more than enough.

Depending on the kind of homeowner/user you are the app experience may not even matter. Like to walk over and press the start button every few days and let it touch things up? You’ll have no UI or app settings to concern yourself with.

OMNI Station: Where the Magic Happens

Let’s talk about the dock. This thing is a powerhouse.

It handles:

• Auto-dustbin emptying (3-liter bag lasts around two months)
• Mop washing with hot water
• Mop drying with warm air
• Clean water refills
• Dirty water collection

It really does reduce daily upkeep to nearly zero. After two weeks of near-daily use, I hadn’t emptied or refilled anything. The station notifies you when the water is low or the dust bag is getting full.

There’s some operational noise during mop washing and drying but it’s brief and tolerable. If you’re sensitive to noise, maybe don’t run a full clean at midnight. In all seriousness, it’s not loud enough to be disruptive in most homes.

Battery Life: Realistic and Reliable

Yeedi rates the M14 Plus for up to 241 minutes of runtime. In real-world use I’ve found the following so far:

• A full vacuum and mop of 1,100 square feet used about 50–60 percent battery
• A quick vacuum-only pass across two rooms barely made a dent in percentage

Recharge takes about six hours, and the robot will resume its run if it runs low mid-clean. For apartments or smaller homes, it’s overkill. Heck, I barely get this to halfway when doing the full downstairs. For larger spaces, I am certain it gets the job done without requiring a mid-clean nap. Unless you’re cleaning an entire two-story home in one go I imagine the Yeedi unit returns to its base with some juice left.

Cleaning Results: As Close to “Set and Forget” As I’ve Seen

What stands out after using the M14 Plus for weeks is just how little I’ve had to think about cleaning. My floors have stayed consistently clean. Not just “robot-clean,” but really clean. The combo of vacuuming and mopping, plus the fact that the robot maintains its own mop, means I can go days without even opening the app.

That’s the dream, right? It’s why we spend north of $1,000, isn’t it? We don’t want to think about our floors. The robot that actually lets you forget about cleaning for a while. The M14 Plus doesn’t entirely hit that goal, but it’s pretty close; alas, you’ll still need to refill the clean water and empty the dirty occasionally.

Who It’s For

The Yeedi M14 Plus is ideal for:

• Homes with a lot of hard floors (tile, hardwood, laminate)
• Pet owners dealing with daily fur and dander
• Busy households or those with younger family members looking for automation
• People who want to mop often, but never want to physically touch a wet mop pad again

It’s probably not ideal for:

• Homes with mostly thick carpeting
• Those expecting flawless object recognition
• Users who want total app polish and deep software customization
• Budget shoppers. It’s not cheap, even with discounts

Price and Value: Worth It?

At full price (around $1,199), the M14 Plus sits firmly in the premium robot vacuum tier. But, in my time testing it, I have found it often goes on sale for $999 or less. For that price, you’re getting a full cleaning suite: strong vacuuming, truly useful mopping, and a dock that handles nearly everything.

If you already own something like the Yeedi S14 Plus or another recent hybrid vacuum, this isn’t a must-upgrade unless edge cleaning or hygiene automation is a priority for you. But if you’re stepping up from a basic vacuum-only robot or an older mop-dragger, this feels like a leap forward.

Final Verdict: The Best Yeedi Yet?

I’ve used more robot vacuums than I can count at this point. Some impress early and fade fast. Others quietly chug along for years. The Yeedi M14 Plus sits somewhere in the sweet spot: it’s innovative enough to feel fresh, powerful enough to clean properly, and automated enough to actually reduce your cleaning load.

I like this one quite a bit and tend to think of it as a mop-first model with excellent carpet management. My rooms with the most traffic have hard floors so it’s been nice seeing it do its thing over the last few weeks. We’re not a “dirty” family so we don’t have much debris to pick up. And we’ve gotten in the habit of manually grabbing all the toy shreds and stuffing before running any vacuum. Somehow our kitchen and hallway end up with paw prints and footprints, especially as this season has been an usually wet one.

It’s not perfect as the occasional navigation quirk pops up, and app polish hold it back from being the best in its class. But the mop system alone might be worth the price for people who care about clean, streak-free floors and don’t want to babysit a robot daily.

Look for the Yeedi M14 Plus on sale and you’ll be getting a really good value. As of the time of publishing this review the price is just $849 and that’s as low as I’ve seen it. That’s an easy recommendation for me to make.
