Robot vacuums used to be a luxury purchase, but the Yeedi C12 Plus is changing that narrative. With a jaw-dropping price drop from $479 to $269.99, this little cleaning marvel is making premium features accessible to the masses. It’s not just another budget bot pretending to play with the big boys – this one actually delivers.
The numbers don’t lie. The C12 Plus collected an impressive 78.65% of sand from hardwood floors, and while its carpet performance isn’t quite as stellar, it still puts up a decent fight with 45% and 57% removal rates on low and mid-pile carpets respectively. Pet owners, rejoice. One pass is all it takes to banish fur from hardwood, though carpets need a few more rounds. Not perfect, but hey, what is? Like the 3i S10 Ultra, it excels at collecting nearly all debris on hard flooring.
This robot isn’t just about raw cleaning power. It’s got brains too. The navigation system keeps it from bumping around like a drunk roomba, maintaining tight corners and rarely missing spots. It can handle multiple floor plans and climb thresholds up to 0.8 inches – not too shabby for a mid-tier machine. Modern robot vacuums require minimal maintenance thanks to their self-cleaning features.
Let’s talk about what you’re actually getting here. A self-emptying dock that can go seven weeks without attention. A 220mL water tank for mopping duties. Anti-tangle brushes that actually work.
Sure, it’s missing some fancy features like auto-refill water tanks, and the bagless dust system might need more TLC than premium models. But at half the price of flagship models like the Roborock Saros 10R or Ecovacs Deebot T50 Max Pro Omni, who’s complaining?
In the crowded 2025 robot vacuum market, the C12 Plus stands out like a sore thumb – in a good way. It’s not trying to be the fanciest bot on the block, but it’s definitely the one giving you the most bang for your buck.
Premium features without the premium price tag? Now that’s something worth talking about.
