The Yeedi Vac Max is one of the best-rated vacuum robots on Amazon. With over 1200 reviews, the product achieves a strong 4.5 out of 5 stars. Our expert Patrick Freese has tested it for you. Is it really that good?
Who tested it? I am Patrick, an expert in online games like GTA or Diablo and also in vacuum robots here at MeinMMO. Over the last 5 years, I have tested about 10 different models in long-term and short-term tests. With purchase prices ranging from €250 to €900.
This has allowed me to get a good picture of the strengths and weaknesses of automatic cleaning helpers in different budget areas. Additionally, I invest about 5 hours a week sifting through test reports and videos on new and popular models.
What kind of device is this? Through the company Yeedi, I got the chance to test the Yeedi Vac Max including a self-emptying station here on MeinMMO. My attention was drawn by the many good reviews, and I will show you here in the test whether they are justified. At the time of testing, the Yeedi Vac Max had about 1,270 reviews on Amazon and 4.5 out of 5 stars.

App, Vacuuming, and Mopping Test
How did I test? I have been using the vacuum cleaner in my apartment for over a month now. Almost daily, it vacuums all 5 rooms including the kitchen and bathroom. The mopping mode is used once a week. During this time, I was able to extensively test the functions of the Yeedi Vac Max and will now describe the advantages and disadvantages.
The App: In the app, you will find common functions that you find in most vacuum robots. The creation of rooms including naming, no-go zones, adjusting suction strength, and the ability to modify the maps after creation.
I particularly like that the Yeedi can create “no vacuum” zones, as well as “no mop” zones. This function is offered by only a few models and is a huge advantage. This way, you don’t have to be cautious about the carpets when mopping. Occasionally, carpets are recognized late, causing the beginning of a carpet to come into contact with the wet microfiber cloth.
Also noteworthy is the function that allows you to determine the order in which the individual rooms should be cleaned. Those who are really into “Smart” homes can also pair the app with Google Home or Alexa.
The Vacuuming: It’s worth noting that in this test, I was able to test the Yeedi Vac Max with a self-emptying station. The station does a good job and empties the dustbin well. However, there are also problems with pet hair, which I also noticed when testing the Roborock Q7 Max+.
My dog sheds a lot, and usually, a large clump of fur is found in combination with dust in the dustbin. The self-emptying station sometimes has difficulty and only empties the dustbin on the second or third attempt. This is annoying because the emptying process is very loud, and I have to check every time if the bin is empty. If the bin stays unnoticed full, the robot vacuums less efficiently. Sometimes the station doesn’t manage to suck the clump of fur out of the bin. Then I have to remove it from the device and empty it manually in the trash can.
Without pet hair, the self-emptying station reliably empties the dustbin.
On hard floors, the robot is very efficient and picks up dust and dog food crumbs and other impurities well. Here and there, I could find a small crumb that remained. However, I have never had a perfect result with any vacuum robot, so the Yeedi Vac Max also ranks among the top performers.
Carpets are another challenge, but the Yeedi also performs well here and managed to satisfactorily suck up pet hair and chip crumbs from the fabric. The Yeedi has extracted about 90% of my sprinkled cornflakes from the carpet. A strong result! Some cheaper models I tested barely reached 50%.
The Yeedi features automatic carpet recognition. The recognition works reasonably well for me. Occasionally, it recognizes the carpet too late and only increases the suction power after a few seconds.
It is particularly noteworthy that the Yeedi Vac Max does not use a laser tower. Other robots have these on the device and scan the rooms for obstacles and walls.
With a design about 2 cm flatter, the Yeedi can fit better under furniture, but it also has to compromise on orientation. It often utilizes the bumper and lightly bumps obstacles to recognize them and assess the size. Unfortunately, it also gets lost occasionally and rarely has orientation problems.

The Mopping: By the way: No, vacuum robots with mopping functions do not replace hand mopping.
They exert little pressure and therefore only mop superficially. To mop, you fill a container with water (and possibly cleaner). Water is then pumped to the cloth, which is attached with Velcro to the bottom of the suspension.
I particularly like that the cloth is suspended in a movable manner, allowing it to continue mopping over uneven surfaces. In other models, the cloths are fixed – if the robot is tilted, the cloth may hang in the air.
For damp mopping, the function is quite okay. And it performs better than the Eufy X8, which I tested here.
