![]() There’s still no support for multiple maps, although I’m told that these are coming later in the year. I find this brilliant for just tackling my prep area in the kitchen after making a meal. In addition, there’s an area clean: draw a box on the map and the robot tackles just there. The software makes the rooms fairly clear, although the quality of the display and the ease of control lags behind that of Roborock and iRobot’s apps. Fortunately, this has been fixed in the most recent version of the software, and rooms can be manually divided up, giving the option to clean one room or even clean in a specific order. That was an issue with the initial release of the product, as there was no manual way to split rooms. It will try and guess where rooms are, too, although it often gets these wrong. ![]() Mapping has been improved since I reviewed the Vac Station, and the Vac 2 Pro now generates a full map. Once connected, the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro has to go on a mapping run, which lets it discover your home. Yeedi’s app is definitely a little more basic and lacks the polish of the Ecovacs one. Yeedi is a brand owned by Ecovacs, so it’s unsurprising that the layout of the two apps is quite similar.

While the Yeedi Vac Station had a basic mop, the Vac 2 Pro adds in a scrubbing mop. There’s a blank cartridge that can plug into the rear of the robot vacuum cleaner, replaceable with the mopping system.

Here, you’ll also find the razer for cutting away hair that will get tangled around the main brush. Its 0.45-litre bin pulls out the top, and also contains the washable filter. If you don’t have the self-empty station, then the robot has to be manually emptied. There’s no station available that can clean the robot’s mopping pads or fill it with fresh water, as you get with the Roborock S7 MaxV Ultra or Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni. The self-empty station takes Yeedi’s 2.5-litre bags, which need to be replaced every month or two. For those that want auto-emptying, paying a little extra makes sense. A smaller dock is useful if you want to fit the robot under some furniture, and they’re cheaper. I quite like vacuum cleaners that are sold in this way. However, the self-empty station is an optional extra if you want the convenience of bin auto-emptying. First, the Vac 2 Pro ships with a standard charging dock, whereas the Vac Station ships with a self-empty dock. The differences start to pile up when you look more closely. Both are circular vacuum cleaners, with a camera on top for visual SLAM map building. ![]() The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro doesn’t look that different, on the outside, to the Yeedi Vac Station that I reviewed last year. ![]() It’s not quite as polished an experience here, and some features that I’d expect are still missing, but I have nothing to complain about performance-wise. That puts this model up against some of the bigger names in robot vacuum cleaners. Now, with the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, there’s a robot vacuum cleaner with a proper scrubbing mop, full-on mapping and even an optional self-emptying station. A few years ago, cheap models still worked by bumping into furniture, spinning around and carrying on until the battery was depleted. We’ve come a long way with budget robot vacuum cleaners.
