ECOVACS Robotics - cube pro Robot Vacuum & Mop with Scrubbing Mop, Mop Lifting, Auto-Cleaning Station, Mapping, and Obstacle Avoidance - GREY

Being a full-time student, full-time employee, and heavy two pets the ECOVACS has catered to my OCD :). Since I’m super busy, this has really helped me out with maintaining my home feel clean all the time. I do like that it vacuums/mops as the same time and it self cleans by dispensing out the dirty water and trash directly to the charging station. A few downside I did encounter was that my robot got stuck on certain parts of the rug. I am assuming it’s due to the textured pattern on my rug or due to how thick the rug/carpet can be. So with that being said, beware of the rug and/or carpet you have because it will get stuck. Also remember this is just to help maintain your floors clean, I would still recommend using a regular vacuum from time to time. Other than that, I really do like my ECOVACS.

This robot is amazing. I have five dogs two German shepherds, one is long hair. One bull Weiler a pug. And border collie. So it’s very tough keeping the house clean but now with this amazing yeedi cube all I have to clean is where it can’t get. had a little problem under one of the beds found a big ball of hair that has been missed on previous cleanings and wrap around the main brush which the robot reported main brush tangled was very simple by just picking it up, turning it upside down and popping out the brush, and then pop it back in set it back down push the red, blinking light and back to work it went. I named him Bucky and he is just amazing.everybody you’ve got to get one. Your life will get so much easier. I will definitely buy another one if something happens to Bucky ??????????+

It is quite and cleans very well it doesn't get stuck under the furniture like our other robot vacuum.. does well with our german shepherd fur... and is easy to ckean and maintenance

The Yeedi Cube vac is a very well made device. It came nicely packed and it was easy to put together. I really like how the color coded the brushes which matches the color of the brushes placement on the bottom of the robot. That way you know where to install them. The integrated technology and the mop and vac combination it's the ideal cleaning robot. Again the built quality is superb. This robot has sensors all over, front, back side and even on the top. The top sensor does look like a camera. On the top of the robot it carries the water dispenser which is easy to pull out and put back. Part of putting your robot together also consists of the installation of the moping pad. The cleaning station it's huge and that's because it has a dust and water dispenser and also a cleaning station for the mop pad. It was pretty cool to see how it works. The station has a ramp to get inside of it and the robot actually does a reverse launch to get in it. Before you start using the vac you have to download the Yeedi to set it up. That part was pretty simple after creating an account you scan the barcode of the robot and follow the instructions. The app it's simple to use and provides all the info and options to control the device. It does need a little bit of improvement as the tracking part was buggy. Sometimes the robot shows steady in one spot when it was actually moving. Like most of these types of vacuum robots they need to run around the house to start mapping it. Something different that I noticed from my shark vac is that the Yeedi instead of exploring it actually goes cleaning. I do prefer the exploration because it is faster and if for some reason the mapping was done wrong, you can quickly do it again as of doing a whole cleaning which takes longer. Mapping is one of the things this robot needs some improvement. Even with all the sensor mapping my home was a challenge. Because it was not getting it right. I don't have a big home. It is approx 1800 living sqft. On the second try it finally got it right but accidentally deleted it instead of updating. After that, it took about 5 more tries to get it right. Once your home is mapped correctly the robot will go to the specific spot and it is very accurate. When it comes to cleaning it does a hell of a job and It has good suction power. The mopping does it very well too. In the app you can choose three types of mopping levels: low, mild or high. I kept it mostly high and it doesn't leave the floor too wet. Something I also noticed during cleaning was that the robot will travel in an angle instead of a straight line in certain areas. I'm not sure why. The battery life of this robot is pretty good. It actually does my entire home in one charge, and returns to the station with about 30-40% of battery life. My other robot vac has to stop at around half way to recharge. In the dust bin compartment there is a disposable dust bag, and it is very easy to change. Those bags are disposable and it comes with 4 bags. In the app it will actually tell you the lifespan of all the accessories. That’s cool! In my opinion you will get the best performance of this device if you have non porous tiles or very little porous. My tiles are glossy porcelain and wood porcelain tiles that have wood like texture and it did a great job on both. The robot maintenance is also easy. The parts come out effortlessly. If something gets stuck in the robot, it will tell you because it also has a speaker and you will also receive a notification in the app. Overall this Yeedi vac is awesome the fact that it does vacuum and mopping at the same time it's super convenient as having two different types of robots. It is super easy to install and easy to use. When it maps your home the right way is extremely accurate and does a great job cleaning and mopping. This will never replace your mop but it will maintain your home between full cleaning cycles. In the box you get the Yeedi vac, charging station, mop pad, 4 dust bags, two cleaning brushes, ramp extension and manuals.

Great little machine . Became a big help with keeping the house clean does such a great job and so easy to set up ! Definitely worth it’s weight in gold

First Impressions: (unboxing) Okay, when you first open the box there is a nice welcome guide on top with a QR code for a quick start video. I really like when companies provide videos to demonstrate set up and use. Well, hold your horses, this video was not what I was expecting. It was almost like a sales ad for the product. IT IS NOT EVEN A VIDEO FOR THE SAME MODEL. IT IS FOR A DIFFERENT MODEL ENTIRELY.!!!! It was FAST and QUICKLY showed some of the set up steps. No spoken words, only background music/sound effects. It basically has NO VALUE in helping me set this up out of the box. What a missed opportunity to grab me as a consumer. And actually is foreshadowing of more issues to come. They really missed the mark here, they could have had a well done intro video with quality steps shown to help users set this up and get going, instead the anticipation of the help video was quickly replaced with confusion and now I was anxious how the rest of the steps would go. Your first impression was not a good one. So now I am left unboxing the rest of the unit to see if I can figure out where things go. Be careful there are several places where you have to “remove” items before you can use the unit, especially the debris bag (more on that later). Open everything and be sure you have removed all packing items before you try to use the unit. Second Impressions: My next observation once I unboxed everything, WOW this is a big footprint in my space. I decided to try it out in the corner of my breakfast area of my kitchen. Again, it is a LARGE unit. The vacuum itself is nice size and in line with the size of other models of robotic vacuums I have had before. But the base Station is bulky and takes up a lot of space even more if you add the extension pad (more on that later). So you do need to attach the brushes to the bottom of the unit. This is normal and I have done this before with other brands. I do appreciate there are two brushes, one for each side of the vacuum. Spoiler Alert, Included is a base station extension pad. Okay I was completely shocked by this. As far as I can tell this is just an extension piece to maybe allow the unit to navigate back into the dock more easily? There isn’t much explanation in the instruction manual about why you need this. But what gets me…. it is designed for you to STICK it to your NON CARPETED FLOOR. Really, like it has sticky pads that you have to peel back their covering to STICK it to your floor. Ummmmmm, no thank you. I am not sticking this to my tile or hardwood floors. Why would this be designed to STICK to the floor? Another missed design element in my opinion. Be sure to install the tank plug to the vacuum. It is a blue piece and is small so do not overlook this in the unboxing phase. It was under the ramp so be on the lookout. To keep the unit lasting longer it is recommended to use distilled or purified water. We have hard water in our area and can attest, using distilled or purified water keeps our appliances lasting much longer. Also the instructions basically say to use only water. Hmmmmm, I would like to use some type of cleaning solution, that is kind of the point of the mopping feature to me. If I can only use water, then I feel like my floors are not getting quite as clean as they could be with a cleaning agent mixed in. I wonder why the water plug is a separate piece you have to install. Honestly it feels less secure than I would like. I am not convinced it will hold the water and will come loose over time. Another questionable design element. And the water reservoir is ON TOP of the vacuum, should there be any kind of leak I am worried the electronics of the unit could become damaged too. Other brands I have seen, the reservoir is in the back behind the unit so less concern of water leakage damaging the unit. Third Impressions: Okay once you have everything set up, It will take about 6 hours for the unit to fully charge. So probably best to plan on using it the next day. If you are keeping score at home, the initial set up video was not helpful and was pointless. It wasn’t even for this model. You have to stick the extension pad to your floors, there is a questionable water plug you have to install, and now you have to wait about 6 hours before you can even use it the first time. For the price I am getting more and more annoyed with the product. And you cannot even MAP (yes MAP) the home until it is fully charged. So maybe this is a weekend project. Ready to use: Okay it is charged and now I am ready to map the house, yes you have to map the house before you can use it for cleaning. Like most things these days, you will use the mobile APP to log in and control the device. Connecting to the app is pretty easy. Yay, finally a positive to report. I do like that with the app you have a lot of control. You can set a specific cleaning schedule, adjust settings, maps, view history and set a do not disturb. Cleaning: So the cleaning is pretty good, it picks up small and medium size debris pretty well. Hardwood and tile we are very happy with the cleaning. It gets really close to the walls and crevices so no issue there for dry vacuuming on hard surfaces. So far the mopping also is going well. The pattern is very grid-like that it follows. I have observed that it tends to run into objects instead of recognizing them and avoiding them. If a toy or shoe for example is left on the floor it is likely it will run into it before it recognizes it is there and then tries to go around it. I would like for the sensors to pick up the object before it hits them. It is self cleaning, and you “can” leave the water in the reservoir but I worry about it becoming stagnant so I like to empty mine especially if I am not planning to mop every day. Final Thoughts: Okay, my last observation is you have to purchase debris bags. I am confused why this is not a debris tank that you can empty into your own garbage can at home. Why do I want individual bags that I have to replace? It comes with three extra bags, and they say the bags can last up to 60 days. And I am not sure yet of the costs of these bags. Again just another missed opportunity in the design element in my opinion. Like anything you want to last a long time you should follow a regular maintenance schedule. There is a schedule included in the manual. For example they suggest you clean the brushes every 2 weeks, and the main brush and washable filter once a week among other items you will want to take care of over time. So to recap, it does a nice job of cleaning, but there are some questionable design elements and I did not find any value in the quick start video. For the price this should have been a homerun but it felt like an infield dribbler single. It works, but it sure should feel like a much better experience.

Initially the concept seems unique since my current connected vacuum does not mop. The setup was pretty smooth. Unbox the base and remove a few packing materials. Then connecting the brushes, mop pad and water cap to the vacuum. Finally I downloaded the Yeedi app. I created an account by simply adding an email and password. Just need to scan a qr code on the vacuum under the water bottle. Then I just hit the play button on the app to start the first vacuum. The first job does the mapping of your home so plan on cleaning up any loose items on the floor otherwise the vacuum will get caught or destroy them. During vacuuming it is loud but not much more than other connected vacuum cleaners. When it returns to the home it is very loud. My dogs were barking at it for about 5 min which was distracting. Then you hear the drying of the unit for about an hour after the cycle. This is not loud but concerning that it is taking up unneeded power in the home. The app overall is very well done and switching from vacuum to vacuum/mop was easy. Also I was able to select just a room and pick if I wanted a quick clean or full clean. As for the quality of the clean. The vacuum was great and everything seemed clean. The mop was just ok. It seems like it just wiped a light clean on the floor so anything that needed a little more scrubbing was ignored. It did not leave streaks or water behind which was nice. I do have concerns on how much work there will be to keep the water holder on the vacuum full. Also to keep the dirty water reservoir clean and prevent mold from building over time. This was not a factor now but just thinking ahead about the maintenance. Ultimately the loud noise when returning to home and the hour long drying is a non starter when I am trying to keep my energy consumption down.

Amazingly! Love that we got this bigger one! Being able to sweep and mop is perfect for my family.

I’ve had canister vacuums, cordless vacuums (Dirt, and dust kept jamming up the vacuum in the main tube) I was constantly taking the vacuum apart to clear the blockage) this little beauty picks up more lint and hair and dust and pollen, and keep returning to the station to empty. It also mops my kitchen and bathroom floors. But really amazed me was the robot a kept returning to station, and I thought there was something wrong until I figured out how to open a little vacuum area and it was continually bunged. And whenever the robot vacuum encounters an obstacle the rear tire boosts up the vacuum In a way it goes. Should’ve got tangled up or stuck you get messages on your Cell phone. One time it told me it was stuck, and I went in. The bathroom, only discovered that it tried to lift itself up on the bathroom scale, which I forgot to move away from his path. The robot is also found my reading glasses, three pairs, that had dropped from the dresser and was under the bed, probably after my cat played with them. All I can say is this robot vacuum does a wonderful job. I just wish BestBuy carried the cleaning solution for the mopping section.
