Box contents
Start up
The robot It has a switch to turn it on and off., lifting the lid (inside we can also find the tank and the cleaning tool).
Interior of the Yeedi Vac Max
Once turned on, we put it on charge, since It is advisable to fully charge it before using it for the first time.. A full charge takes about 6,5 hours, and its huge 5.200 mAh lithium battery provides a range of up to 200 minutes, one of the longest in the category.
Thanks to its wide autonomy and the high efficiency of its movements, can clean large surfaces on a single charge. If that is not enough, it has charge and continue, so the robot returns to the base and once charged, resumes cleaning.
The charging base must be placed in a clear place, in which the robot has room to maneuver; As a guide, there should be one meter free to the sides and forward, although given the precision with which it moves, less space may be sufficient.
The Yeedi Vac Max can be controlled using the button on the top, through voice commands (compatible with Alexa and Google Home) and through an app, the application being the best way to take advantage of all its functionalities.
Installation and configuration of the app
The app is called Yeedi, and is available for iOS and Android. To proceed with the installation, we simply have to scan the QR code that the robot itself comes with, or install the app from the store and click add robot.
In this first installation process, It is advisable to place both the robot and the mobile phone near the router, to promote connectivity.
Some advanced features require a home map, so the first thing we will do is map the home, setting it to clean in automatic mode, starting the cleaning from the base, and leaving the doors open so that it can access all the rooms.
As in other robots with camera-based navigation, both mapping and cleaning must be done with a certain luminosity, it cannot clean in the dark, unlike, for example, robots with laser navigation (the app itself will remind us of this when mapping). Additionally, it may take several runs to complete the map, depending on the size and complexity of the map (typically 3-5 cycles).
The app provides access to various information and advanced functions, in addition to offering great convenience and versatility, since we can operate the robot whenever we want and wherever we are.
How the Yeedi Vac Max works
The Yeedi Vac Max is a mid-high range robot, which offers a Great overall performance at a reasonable price, making it an excellent alternative for those looking to combine efficiency and price.
Navigation
This robot has an advanced navigation system, which we have already seen in the Yeedi 2 Hybrid. The camera on the top provides you with a 360º view and allows you to map the home and anticipate obstacles, moving fluidly and efficiently.
Camera detail
The Yeedi Vac Max navigation system includes a wide variety of sensors; In addition to the camera, a gyroscope (a kind of digital compass), which helps you orient yourself better, an optical sensor that helps you build the map in more detail, an ultrasonic sensor that allows you to identify when you are on a carpet and various anti-shock and anti-fall sensors, which prevent the robot from colliding or falling down stairs.
Thanks to all this technology, the Yeedi Vac Max builds the home map and navigates neatly and quickly, covering practically 100% of the surface in a short time (it is not as fast as robots with laser navigation, but it is very close).
Power
An outstanding aspect of this model is its power level, which improves the already notable absorption capacity of the Yeedi 20 Hybrid by 2% to obtain excellent results.
The Yeedi Vac Max It reaches 3.000 Pascals of power, a figure that places it among the most powerful robots on the market., capturing with great effectiveness all types of dirt, dust, fine dust, sand, dirt, crumbs, cereals and other heavier particles.
The robot has three power levels:
Like other high-end models, it has a turbo mode on carpets, so there is no need to worry in this regard; The robot itself will increase the power automatically when it is placed on a carpet, obtaining the best result on any surface in a very comfortable way for the user.
In addition, the design of its wheels and suspension system allow it overcome obstacles up to 2 centimeters (0,78 inches), so it has no problems in transitions between rooms or with carpets of a certain thickness.
Brushes
Like other robots with advanced navigation, the Yeedi Vac Max It only has one side brush. This is because the robot always knows where it is, where it has passed and where it has not, so it does not need to include two brushes.
The rotating central brush is another highlight of the Yeedi Vac Max. As is common in many robots, it combines rubber and bristles to achieve good results on both hard floors and carpets, helping to unravel dirt, but it stands out for:
Yeedi Vac Max Brush
The design of its brush, together with the high suction power, allows the Yeedi Vac Max to achieve a very high effectiveness when capturing all types of particles, dust, fine dust, sand and other heavier elements.
Scrub
The Yeedi Vac Max is a multifunction robot. It has two tanks, one inside for dust and another that attaches on the outside (similar to the system used by Roborock), which allows you to vacuum and scrub at the same time.
Carpet detection technology also works when mopping, so the robot will avoid going over them when it is scrubbing (If desired, restricted areas can also be created when you are scrubbing).
Carpet Detection
The microfiber mop also contributes to the cleaning result, helping to remove some stains.; The result is not the same as if we scrubbed by hand, but it is a great help for daily cleaning.
Microfiber mop
Tank and filter
The tank offers a capacity that is average in the segment, about 430 milliliters, enough to clean a medium-sized or even large home, and it is easy to empty.
Includes a 3-layer filter system, with a mesh filter, a sponge filter and a high efficiency filter, trapping microparticles of dust and mites inside the device.
The Yeedi Vac Max is compatible with the Yeedi self-emptying base, although it does not come standard (it is included in the Yeedi Vac Station, which has just been released in Spain). If you wish, you can see our in-depth review of this model.
Convenient operation via app
The Yeedi app allows operate the robot comfortably and easily, being able to access a wide variety of information and configure the cleaning to our liking; among other options:

Opinions on the Yeedi Vac Max
Maybe Yeedi is not a super well-known brand yet, but I had been looking for a robot like this for a long time, which has a very reasonable price compared to others. The robot detects carpets and avoids wetting them when scrubbing. You can vacuum and mop at the same time or vacuum first and then mop. This model is much quieter than the one I had before, I am happy, and so are my pets!
Its appearance is simple and beautiful and its noise level is quite low, so it does not affect normal life. It is powerful and resistant, cleans the house daily and is impeccable, we have it programmed and so we don't have to do anything.
This Yeedi is very quiet in standard mode. I have the entire floor without carpets, and The robot cleans my dog's hair and my own hair very well, even without putting it on maximum power.. When it comes to scrubbing, thanks to its large tank, I don't have to fill it in the middle of the task. Once you have built the home map, it moves around the house very well.
The visual SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) system allows you to map and position yourself within the home. Once the house is mapped, it navigates efficiently, and can cross thresholds of up to 2 centimeters. Its battery gives it more than 3 hours of autonomy, and it has a lot of power, configurable in 3 levels. I usually put it on the lowest setting, but sometimes I do a specific cleaning of thicker carpets at maximum power, although the robot already increases the power when it goes up to a carpet. You can set prohibited zones and regulate the water flow when scrubbing. This robotic vacuum cleaner is great value for money, navigates well and is very maneuverable, it's worth it.
Why buy a Yeedi Vac Max
