The YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra robot vacuum and mop presents itself as a sophisticated home cleaning solution, boasting an auto-cleaning station capable of washing mop pads and intelligent navigation. This system aims to offer hands-free operation with features like a large 3,500 ml clean water reservoir and an equal-sized dirty water tank within its self-cleaning station. The robot itself carries a 200 ml water tank and promises up to 180 minutes of runtime on its 5200 mAh battery.
The device's core promise revolves around automated convenience, with a self-cleaning station that functions akin to a washing machine for its mop pads, coupled with smart navigation technologies like Visual SLAM and floor tracking sensors to map and plan efficient cleaning paths. The S20 Infinity Ultra is also designed to vacuum and mop concurrently, incorporating two rotating, pressurized mop pads that exert 10N of downward force to mimic manual mopping. Users can control the device through the 'Yeedi' application, which allows for customization of cleaning modes (automatic, zone, custom), suction power, water flow, and even setting virtual boundaries. Compatibility with voice assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home is also advertised.

App Functionality and User Frustration
Despite the hardware's purported advancements, user feedback, particularly concerning the companion 'Yeedi' application, paints a less seamless picture. Reports suggest issues with the app's reliability and functionality.
One significant complaint is the need to re-establish mapping if the application is reinstalled, indicating a lack of persistent memory storage tied to a user account.
Users also note a lack of direct control; the app does not allow for specific spot cleaning commands or directing the robot to precise locations without defaulting to a full room clean order.
This perceived inadequacy of the app, which is meant to be the central interface for managing the robot, has led to considerable user dissatisfaction, with some reviews describing the app experience as "catastrophic" despite finding the robot hardware itself "super."
Technical Specifications and Performance
The YEEDI S20 Infinity Ultra is a substantial unit, with the robot weighing 15.90 kg and measuring 35.20 x 34.40 x 8.50 cm. The accompanying station is considerably larger, measuring 41.10 x 38.20 x 43.00 cm. The cleaning apparatus includes a main brush, side brushes, and the aforementioned rotating mop pads. The device is equipped with various sensors: anti-fall, anti-collision, floor tracking, and carpet detection. The product is sold with a comprehensive set of accessories, including filters, spare mop cloths, and cleaning tools, all backed by a 2-year legal conformity warranty in relevant markets.
Background
YEEDI TECHNOLOGY LIMITED is the manufacturer behind this automated cleaning device. The company, often featured on retail platforms like Leroy Merlin, positions its products as problem-solvers for modern households, aiming to "liberate your hands" and prioritize customer satisfaction. Their product line extends to other models, such as the Yeedi Cube, which has also been reviewed, with tests noting its dedicated dirty water tank for mop cleaning but also questioning its thoroughness in certain cleaning tasks. The company promotes its devices through its own online store and app stores, emphasizing clean design and what they term "honest materials."
