The Yeedi Cube robot vacuum and mop, part of the broader Ecovacs ecosystem, is designed to deliver a more hands-free approach to floor cleaning by combining strong vacuum performance with advanced mopping features. In this review, we take a closer look at what’s included, how the system is built, how it performs in real-world testing, and how it compares to both brand and industry averages.

Unboxing and Included Accessories

Inside the box, Yeedi includes everything needed to get up and running quickly. Alongside the robot itself, you’ll find printed product literature and a quick start guide built directly into the packaging, which outlines a simple three-step setup process. The remaining contents include side cleaning brushes, a mop pad, a power cord with a right-angle connector, a water tank plug, and a detachable base with an optional extension. The Cube station is also included and serves as the central hub for charging, self-emptying, and mop maintenance.

Cube Station Design and Functionality

The Cube station is a multifunction base that handles charging, dust emptying, mop washing, and mop drying. At the top of the station are two removable components: a dirty water tank and a lid that provides access to the self-emptying vacuum bag, which comes pre-installed. Both components lift out easily and feature integrated handles that make emptying and cleaning straightforward.

The station is thoughtfully designed with rubberized feet for stability and a rear cable-routing channel that allows the power cord to exit from either side. This makes it easier to place the station flush against a wall without the cord getting in the way. A transparent window on the side of the station provides a visual indicator of the dirty water level, while the front houses Yeedi branding and the internal ports used for charging, debris removal, and mop care. The detachable base slides into place smoothly and can be removed with release levers when cleaning or maintenance is needed.

Robot Vacuum Build and Hardware

The Yeedi Cube robot itself features a unique transparent top panel that reveals its built-in water tank. This design not only looks modern but also allows you to visually monitor water levels while the robot is in use. A gray carry handle makes the unit easy to move, and a release lever allows quick access to the water tank for refilling.

Navigation is handled through a camera-based sensor mounted on top, along with physical control buttons for basic operation. Around the body, the robot includes multiple sensors, a navigation bumper, rear charging contacts, and a dedicated outlet for self-emptying debris into the Cube station. Underneath, the robot uses an omnidirectional wheel, spring-loaded drive wheels, and cliff sensors to safely navigate different floor types.

Cleaning hardware includes side brush mounts and a hybrid rubber-and-bristle main brush roller, which is easy to remove for maintenance. The mop pad attaches to a dedicated mounting plate and stays secure during cleaning. The removable dust bin includes a washable filter and built-in maintenance instructions, along with a manual emptying flap for quick cleanouts.

Initial Setup and First Run

Setup is simple and intuitive. After installing the water tank plug, the side brushes snap into place by matching their color-coded connectors. The mop pad slides into its mounting channel and secures with Velcro. Once assembled, placing the robot onto the Cube station allows it to charge and prepare for its first cleaning cycle.

Real-World Cleaning Results

After completing a full cleaning run, inspection showed minimal hair tangling around the main brush, though the bristle design means occasional checks are recommended, especially in homes with pets. The mop pad looked nearly new, which is expected given the Cube station’s ability to wash and dry the mop automatically after use.

The dust bin contained a mix of pet hair, human hair, crumbs, and fine dust, including sand-sized particles. The filter clearly showed effective dust capture, reinforcing that the Cube performs well not only on surface debris but also on finer particles embedded in flooring.

Yeedi App Experience

The Yeedi mobile app provides a clean and intuitive interface that makes it easy to control the robot and customize cleaning behavior. From the main screen, you can view real-time status updates, battery levels, and cleaning modes, including vacuum-only or combined vacuum-and-mop operation. Suction power and mop water flow can be adjusted to suit different floor types and preferences.

The app also offers detailed cleaning history, complete with time logs and area coverage, as well as accessory wear tracking to help you stay on top of maintenance. More advanced options allow for room-specific cleaning, customizable sequences, virtual walls, no-go zones, and no-mop areas. Features like carpet detection, automatic suction boost, scheduling, and resume cleaning further enhance the overall experience. Navigation through the app is straightforward, and all major settings are easy to find.

Performance Metrics and Testing

In terms of raw performance, the Yeedi Cube delivers suction power right at the brand average and comfortably above the overall robot vacuum average. While airflow measurements fall slightly below average on paper, real-world testing tells a more compelling story. In deep-clean tests, the Cube earned a score of 90 out of 100, matching the brand average and outperforming the overall industry average. This indicates strong ability to remove embedded dirt and debris from carpets and hard floors.

Noise levels measured on carpet with maximum suction enabled came in slightly quieter than the brand average and very close to the overall average. In everyday use, the Cube sounds comparable to most modern robot vacuums and is unlikely to be disruptive.

Battery Life and Capacity

The Cube is rated for up to 180 minutes of runtime, which falls below the Yeedi brand average but remains well above the typical industry runtime. Powering the system is a 5,200 mAh battery, which is larger than both the brand and overall averages. This added capacity supports longer cleaning sessions and helps accommodate the combined demands of vacuuming and mopping.

Size, Capacity, and Mop Performance

With a height of 3.9 inches, the Yeedi Cube sits right at the brand average and slightly above the overall industry average. This height is largely due to the large onboard water tank rather than navigation hardware. While a shorter profile could improve under-furniture access, the trade-off allows the Cube to carry an unusually large 1,000 ml water tank. This is the largest onboard water tank we have seen on a robot vacuum and significantly exceeds both brand and industry norms. The transparent design also makes it easy to see water movement during operation.

The internal dust bin holds 360 ml, which is slightly below average, though this is largely offset by the presence of a self-emptying base. Mop lift height measures 8 mm, which falls within the typical range and allows the robot to transition onto carpets and rugs without dragging the mop pad.

Pricing and Overall Value

From a pricing standpoint, the Yeedi Cube is positioned very competitively. It costs significantly less than many flagship models from Yeedi and Ecovacs while offering features that are often reserved for higher-end robots. When compared to the broader market average, it lands squarely in line with similarly priced models but delivers a more advanced mopping experience than most competitors in this range.

Final Verdict

The Yeedi Cube stands out as a strong value-focused robot vacuum and mop, particularly for households that care about mopping performance. Features like mop lifting, automatic mop washing, and drying are rarely found at this price point and help set the Cube apart. While obstacle avoidance and a slightly shorter profile would be welcome improvements, the overall performance and feature set make it a compelling option. For users looking to reduce hands-on maintenance while still achieving consistent vacuuming and mopping results, the Yeedi Cube offers an impressive balance of convenience, performance, and value.
