Smart home robotics brand YEEDI is taking robot mopping technology to cleaner heights with its OZMO Roller Mop, featured in the company’s latest robot vacuum and mop hybrid, the YEEDI M14 PLUS.
Addressing the Dirty Truth About Robot Mops
Traditional robot mops often leave floors worse for wear due to outdated designs that reuse contaminated water. These systems typically smear dirt, hair, and oily residue back across surfaces, causing streaks and even unpleasant odors. YEEDI identified this core flaw, prompting a complete redesign of the mopping process.
As YEEDI puts it, “True floor cleaning starts with a clean mop. The OZMO Roller Mop isn’t just an upgrade, it’s a fundamental rethinking of how robot mops should work.”
Four-Step Deep Cleaning with OZMO Roller Mop
Developed in collaboration with floor-care specialist Tineco, YEEDI’s patented horizontal roller system keeps itself perpetually clean with a smart 4-step cycle:
Spraying: A 16-nozzle water system continuously dampens the mop roller with clean water.
Mopping: The roller spins at 200 RPM, exerting 4000 Pa downward pressure to tackle sticky spills and fine dust.
Scraping: A scraper tightly fitted against the roller removes dirty water and debris, eliminating recontamination.
Water Recovery: Dirty water is instantly vacuumed away, maintaining cleanliness and significantly reducing drying time.
This innovative loop means consistently clean floors without manual intervention, streaking, or odors.
Priced attractively at $799 (down from its standard $1,199), the YEEDI M14 PLUS positions itself as a compelling alternative in the high-end robot cleaner market. We recently had a chance to review the YEEDI M14 PLUS ahead of the launch and found it to be an incredible product and value proposition, especially at the $799 launch price.
For those interested in learning more or making a purchase, the YEEDI M14 PLUS is available now via YEEDI’s official Amazon store.

Ultrahuman, a leading name in self-quantification technology, has just unveiled its latest innovation: Blood Vision. Launching across 48 states, this comprehensive at-home blood testing platform is set to change the game by measuring over 100 clinically relevant biomarkers, with a special focus on disease prevention.
Blood Vision: A New Lens on Health
What sets Blood Vision apart from traditional lab tests is its integration with the Ultrahuman Ring AIR. This wearable device collects real-time wellness data, providing a seamless link between laboratory-based health markers and everyday lifestyle metrics like sleep, recovery, and physical activity. All this data is neatly compiled within the Ultrahuman app, offering users an unprecedented view of their health.
Beyond Static Lab Results: UltraTrace Technology
Leveraging UltraTrace technology, Blood Vision offers more than static lab results. It combines blood markers with lifestyle markers from the Ultrahuman Ring, as well as glucose patterns from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices. This personalized health model offers visible and actionable insights in real time, making it easier for users to detect chronic diseases early on.
UPDATE: Ultrahuman has rolled out a new $99 Blood Vision Essential plan aimed at making preventive blood testing far more affordable. The plan covers 60+ biomarkers across eight core health panels, spanning heart, metabolic, kidney, thyroid, and immune health. It also includes an AI-driven clinician summary, personalized lifestyle and supplement guidance, and Blood Age tracking.
For context, standard tests without a primary care physician often run $450 or more and cover fewer markers. This plan cuts that cost dramatically, making preventive health insights easier to access without the hefty price tag.
Tracking Your Health Over Time
In addition to the comprehensive health insights, Blood Vision also provides a follow-up test to track longitudinal changes. This enables users to measure and optimize their progress over time, facilitating a feedback loop that helps continually improve their health. As Mohit Kumar, Founder and CEO of Ultrahuman, explains, “Traditional diagnostics offer a moment-in-time snapshot. Blood Vision transforms this into a longitudinal, predictive model of your health, where insights evolve as you do, and interventions are guided by real-time lifestyle data and blood marker analysis.”
AI Clinician Summaries and Performance Coaching
Users of Blood Vision are not left to navigate their health data alone. The platform provides AI clinician summaries, comprehensive supplementary reports, and performance coaching to translate insights into action. These reports incorporate UltraTrace technology to offer a holistic analysis of health and lifestyle markers.

I hadn’t been on a skateboard in over 20 years, and this was my first time ever riding an electric one. I figured I’d be shaky at best, maybe even eat pavement before I found my footing, but the Meepo V3 Max had other plans.
Within minutes, I felt surprisingly confident. I stuck to the second and third gears for most of my rides, cruising at around 15 mph, which was plenty fast for me while I got used to the rhythm. It didn’t take long before I genuinely started enjoying the experience, instead of just trying to stay upright.
The V3 Max excites me and is truly fun to ride around the neighborhood, and from what I’ve gathered, it’s among the best values in the mid-tier electric skateboard category. It hits a rare sweet spot where power, control, and price actually work together instead of getting in each other’s way.
Even after 20 years off a board, I found my footing fast. The V3 Max makes electric skateboarding feel accessible and genuinely fun.
It’s the kind of board I’d recommend to someone who’s ready to move past the beginner phase but isn’t looking to drop a small fortune on something high-end. It’ll sound weird to say it, but I’d love it if my buddies had one of these and we could just goof around town on them.
Performance and Ride Quality
First thing you’ll notice is the torque. The dual 540W hub motors are no joke. On flat pavement, it pulls hard, enough to catch you off guard if you’re not ready. This only gets more pronounced when you dial up the different modes with the double tap of a button.
I tested it in Pro mode (fourth gear), which has the most pull and torque, and that speed feels fast and almost veers into sketchy territory for someone like me. It can be unsettling to have it jump like it does from a standstill.
For cruising and commuting, the lower speed modes are still responsive and smooth. Acceleration feels zippy but never jumpy, and braking is consistent across the board. It’s firm and not twitchy. I probably rode around on it for 15 minutes, getting up to 7 mph on it, before I wondered how to dial things up.
For those wondering, the fourth gear can get you up to 28 mph, which is crazy fast to me. I feel incredibly vulnerable and exposed about 16 mph right now, but a helmet and pads might make me feel a bit more comfortable. Speaking of which, do the right thing and protect yourself. Don’t risk a serious injury, especially if you’re attracted to those faster speeds.
Design and Build
The deck is made of stiff maple with a shallow concave, which gives you a strong connection to the board, especially at higher speeds. You’ll feel the road, no question, but the 90mm wheels help soak up some of that chatter. It’s not a plush ride, and if you’re used to something more flexible or belt-driven, the rigidity might feel jarring at first. That said, once I got used to it, I appreciated how stable it felt on imperfect pavement.
I worried I might get the speed wobbles on this thing as there are a few smooth roads with fairly decent grades to them. Alas, I’ve been lucky so far in that I’ve not fallen off. The board and wheels are more responsive than I expected and helped to boost my confidence on the first day.
Weighing under 20 pounds, and featuring a cutout handle along the edge of the board, it fits well into everyday life. I’ve used the V3 Max for casual errands and neighborhood rides, and it’s small enough to stash under a desk or in the trunk. While it’s not featherlight, it is manageable for short carries through a store or area where boards are not allowed.
Remote and Controls
The remote looks to be the standard Meepo thumbwheel design, which has a small screen showing battery status for both the board and the remote. It’s simple, intuitive, and just works. No disconnects, no weird pairing issues, and you can switch modes on the fly without fuss. I’ve found it’s easy enough to switch gears blindly, thanks to there only being a few, but pronounced, buttons.
Comfort and Road Feel
One trade-off to consider is ride comfort. There’s no suspension here, and the wheels aren’t swappable, so rough pavement will make itself known. But if your usual routes are smooth, or you prefer a more direct, tactile ride, the stiffness actually feels like an advantage as it keeps the board feeling precise and planted.
I realized on the first day that I felt some pain in my knee which I attributed to working smaller stabilization muscles a bit more than normal. That, and the seams in the road or bumps between sidewalk sections. It was gone the next day and things didn’t worsen for me.
Battery and Range
Battery life has been on par with expectations. Meepo advertises up to 20 miles under ideal conditions. In my testing thus far, which is a mix of urban paths, minor hills, start-stop traffic, and flat parking lots, I am getting a consistent range between 14 and 16 miles. Charging takes up to three hours with the charger.
Value and Final Thoughts
Awarded to products with an average rating of 3.75 stars or higher, the AndroidGuys Smart Pick recognizes a balance of quality, performance, and value.
Products with this distinction deserve to be on your short list of purchase candidates.
The Meepo V3 Max doesn’t try to overreach. It’s not chasing novelty or gimmicks. Instead, it just gets the fundamentals right, and seems to do so at a price that feels fair. That is to say, the $469 I see it offered for on the Meepo website makes sense. The so-called everyday price of $699 doesn’t seem to track for my tastes, so here’s hoping it’s more of a marketing ploy.
While the Meepo V3 Max hits or exceeds expectations in the areas that we score products, the warranty is the one spot where things could be better. With only a six-month warranty on the board itself, you get just three months on everything else.
For intermediate riders or anyone eyeing their first real upgrade from something basic, it’s a smart, reliable pick with enough punch to keep the ride fun. And for middle-aged guys looking for a fun way to get around town, enjoy vacation spots a little more, or unwind at the end of a day, it’s a great option.
In an time where safety recalls for lithium batteries are shaking up the consumer electronics industry, Better Mobile Xperience (BMX) has stepped up to the plate. They’re introducing their SolidSafe power banks, designed to offer consumers a safer, more reliable option for their power needs.
The Rise of SolidSafe
The SolidSafe power banks are the brainchild of the team at BMX, the same people who brought you Hyper, the brand that redefined mobile accessories on Kickstarter. These power banks are designed with safety in mind, implementing solid-state battery cells to offer greater resistance to fire and catastrophic failure. This comes as a breath of fresh air, especially considering over 1.7 million battery packs have been recalled globally since March 2025 due to safety concerns.
Not Your Average Power Banks
The SolidSafe line isn’t just about safety, though. These power banks are designed for commuters, creators, and parents who demand reliable power every day. They come with up to twice the lifespan of typical lithium batteries. The lineup includes three battery models (5K, 10K, and 10K with microSD expansion) and two charging docks (3-bay and 5-bay).
SolidSafe: Key Features
Apart from their solid-state battery design and extended lifespan, these power banks come with a host of other features. They have 15W Qi magnetic wireless charging, USB-C in/out for fast charging, and a color LCD display to monitor battery percentage and charge speed. What’s more, they come with a built-in USB-C lanyard cable, ensuring your charging cable is always with you.
Slim Design, Solid State Cells
The SolidSafe 5K, 10K and 10K+ models are slim portable chargers that resist overheating, failure, and fire. They deliver 15W wireless charging which is twice as fast for iPhones. The real-time display and built-in USB C lanyard cable make charging a seamless and safe experience. Plus, their slim design means they can comfortably fit in your front pocket, backpack, carry-on or handbag.
Never Run Out of Power
To ensure you never run out of juice, BMX also offers an optional SolidSafe Charging Dock that can charge up to five power banks at once. Available in two models: 3-Port (20W) and 5-Port (30W), the dock is free with the purchase of three SolidSafe power banks.
