It’s been almost a year since we tested the Yeedi C12 Pro Plus vacuum robot, which at the time was the brand’s most affordable model with an impressive set of features. Now, Yeedi, a sub-brand of Ecovacs, is taking one step forward by introducing its latest advanced high-end model—the Yeedi S14 Plus.
In the fast-paced consumer electronics space, new vacuum robots with advanced features are being launched rapidly. Still, very few brands are creating unique and innovative products, and Yeedi is one of them.
The Yeedi S14 Plus is the perfect blend of innovation and quirky features. Its innovative extendable rotatable Ozmo roller mop pad, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and automatic mop cleaning, among other features, make it much more versatile than the competition.
Does that make it a solid cleaning companion for your house? Well, read on to find out.

Unboxing
The Yeedi S14 Plus redefines home cleaning with its 18,000 Pa suction power, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and innovative extendable roller mop—effortlessly tackling stubborn stains and deep carpet cleaning while navigating with precision. A smart, self-cleaning solution for those who demand efficiency and convenience.
Pricing and Availability
The Yeedi S14 Plus is now available for purchase in the US market via Yeedi’s official store and Amazon for $1,199. As a part of the launch offer, Yeedi is offering a massive $250 off coupon via Amazon, and this will bring the price down to just $949, which makes it a truly worthwhile investment given its power and feature set.
Innovative design and quirky features
Design is the most important aspect when it comes to robot vacuums. This time around, Yeedi has completely overhauled the design structure for its flagship S-series robots. When I unboxed the Yeedi S14 Plus robot vacuum, I was taken aback by its slim, compact, and attractive-looking body. Compared to Yeedi’s last-year announced C12 Pro Plus and M12 Pro models, the S14 Plus looks very minimalist. More specifically, Yeedi ditched the LiDAR dome placed on top of the C12 Pro Plus and M12 Pro vacuum robot. This not only makes it slimmer but also easily helps to slide low bits of furniture such as sofas or sideboards. This is a clever move from Yeedi, and I really appreciated it.
Another notable change is the mop pad. Yeedi ditched a traditional semi-circular mop and implemented a roller mop pad into the S14 Plus, and Yeedi said it can exert pressure up to 4,000 Pa. I’ll discuss more about it in the performance section. Speaking of build quality, the entire appliance is made of hard plastic, and despite its plastic build, feels quite sturdy. The vacuum robot ships with a black and rose gold color combination, which looks very eye-catching. However, unlike the C12 Pro Plus, Yeedi offers a single colorway option for the S14 Plus.
Yeedi has implemented all of its latest tech into the S14 Plus. The robot has a DToF sensor for precise navigation, an AIVI 3D 3.0 obstacle avoidance tech to avoid every obstacle while cleaning, and a TrueEdge sensor on the side. This sensor has a trick: it extends a roller mop while cleaning corners.
At the front of the Yeedi S14 Plus is an AI-powered camera, which can be used to spot stains and obstacles, including soda cans, shoes, cables, and small strings. Flip the robot over, and you can see an extendable Ozmo roller mop pad that can lift up to 10 mm off the ground when a carpet is detected, a side-sweeping brush, and a V-shaped roller brush placed in the middle of the robot to prevent human/pet hair from getting tangled.
Like other flagship robot vacuums, the Yeedi S14 Plus also ships with a self-clean and self-empty base station. The base station also comes with the same eye-catching black and rose gold finishes as the S14 Plus robot. Design-wise, the base station does look slim and compact, but it still takes up some space.
Inside the base station, there are two tanks, one for clean water and one for dirty water (4.0 liters each, respectively), and a 3-liter disposable dust bag that provides up to 90 days of hands-free emptying. However, I missed a washable and reusable dustbin container from the C12 Pro Plus over these flimsy disposable bags. There are also all the mechanics available in the robot cleaner to clean and dry mops.
Easy Installation and Impressive Cleaning Results
Setting up the Yeedi S14 Plus vacuum robot was a no-brainer. One can quickly set up the robot by following the simple instructions given in the accompanying app. The Yeedi S14 Plus features a powerful 18,000 Pa suction power, which is really noticeable on thicker carpets.
I tested the S14 Plus across different floors with varying stain conditions, starting with sprinkling flour and crushed peanuts on the floor. Note that while performing the above test, I set the robot’s suction power at a standard mode to see what it could do. With this mode turned on, the Yeedi S14 Plus did a great job at collecting all the crushed peanuts and cleaning all the flour from the floor without leaving anything behind, which is impressive.
On my carpet test, I found that the vacuum robot managed to clean almost all the sprinkled flour, while it left a little bit behind. However, I repeated the same test but set the robot on its high-suction power mode to see the power of 18,000 Pa suction. With another pass, the carpet was a near-perfect clean. One thing I observed is that it doesn’t make much noise while cleaning, and it’s less noisy compared to the C12 Pro Plus even in its maximum mode.
To further take the mopping test to the next level and test the robot’s capabilities, I also spilled coffee on the floor. With the high-suction mode turned on, the vacuum robot efficiently removed all the stains in just a single pass while leaving no coffee stains behind, which is really impressive.
According to Yeedi, the robot’s roller mop exerts 4,000 Pa of pressure as it mops and spins at 200 RPM. There are also small scrapers and 16 nozzles implemented under the robot that deliver fresh water and keep the mop clean in real-time. This does prevent dirt buildup, cross-contamination, and streaks, ensuring a more efficient and deep clean. This shows that the Yeedi S14 Plus can effortlessly handle any mess.
The S14 Plus vacuum robot’s obstacle detection is also absolutely top-class. It didn’t get stuck once during my testing period. The robot excelled at spotting all category obstacles and navigating around them with ease. I was also impressed with the navigation too. Thanks to the DToF sensor, the S14 Plus can easily be cleaned under my side cupboards and on the corner sofa.
The robot also performed superbly on my edge test, ensuring all the flour I sprinkled on the floor was a near-perfect clean. The AI-powered camera on the front identified all dirt efficiently, giving the dirt-covered area extra attention. Nonetheless, I tested the robot cleaner’s zero-tangle tech by introducing human hair. I’m pleased to say that the robot managed to pick up all the hairs without any tangling around the bristles.
Speaking of battery life, Yeedi slightly disappoints me here by packing the similar 5,200mAh battery (found on the C12 Pro Plus) into the S14 Plus. I would have expected a slightly bigger battery with the S14 Plus, but that’s not the case here.
During my testing, I set the S14 Plus in maximum mopping and vacuuming; the robot had enough power to clean my entire house (~1000 sq. ft) and still had a decent amount of power left. Lastly, it can handle obstacles up to 20 mm, allowing it to cross thresholds with ease.
Extensive Customization Options
Like other Yeedi robot vacuums, the Yeedi S14 Plus is also controllable via the Yeedi companion app. Once you set up the robot, the first task is to generate a map of the home by sending the robot on a mapping run. I found this super-accurate, and interestingly, it can generate 2D as well as 3D maps, which is super helpful and even showcases a robot’s live moment while cleaning. The companion app has a lot to offer, from basic to advanced features, and I’m pretty sure that can be overwhelming for new consumers.
The companion app offers a bunch of cleaning settings, including a choice of suction power (from low to max, a total of four modes), water flow rate (low, medium, and high), cleaning speed, and cleaning in one or two passes. Like the Yeedi M12 Pro, you also get three different cleaning mode options: Vac only, Vac and Mop, and Mop after Vac.
The Yeedi app lets you schedule cleaning time, set hot air drying duration, carpet recognition setting, carpet fine cleaning, and offers auto cleaning for all rooms. Yeedi also offers an AI-intelligent hosting system that automatically generates cleaning parameters for different rooms based on room types and floor materials.
The Yeedi S14 Plus has Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri voice command support, which brings great convenience. All in all, I’d like some of these features to be turned on by default. Customization options are extensive, and you can apply them according to your house area.
While I liked the new interface of the Yeedi app, the app sometimes felt buggy. I hope Yeedi will fix this in future updates.
