M16 Infinity

Ecovacs T90 or Yeedi M16 infinity. Both are new models in your price range when on sale. The yeedi is cheaper. Both are essentially identical. These are new models with their new navigation sensors, mop roller system, and anti tangle brush roller. I've only had mine for a few days, but for the price, the feature set is amazing. The carpet performance is just average from what I've heard. I have mostly tile.

I own the Yeedi M16 for the last two months and it has been fantastic. One of the top robots right now (along with T90) and for only $650 USD on amazon. It's a fantastic value. The mopping performance is top tier. The AI features are surprisingly really good and not a total gimmick. Maintenance has been very minimal. I almost never have to intervene during cleaning. Main thing is that the onboard air filter is small and it does get clogged up with dust after a week in my very dirty house.

It depends on the brand and model, but a well designed roller mop system is the bomb. The cost difference is very little these days. People talk about the maintenance of roller mops, but I don't see how there is much of a difference. I think that is an outdated idea. A well designed roller mop system will leave your floors cleaner than a well designed spinning mop system. A hill I will die on. It makes sense logically, and I experienced it first hand when I transitioned to a roller mop robot. When I say "well designed" I mean a roller mop that actually cleans the mop while mopping instead of just claiming to. Roller mops will become standard even on medium budget models within a couple of years.

The Narwal flow, ecovacs T90, and the Yeedi m16 infinity all have a fully integrated dirty water reservoir. Just the ones I know of. It will become the industry standard. Questionable whether cleaning that reservoir is even necessary on many robots in the first place. Can't clean without water 🤷🏼 I refill mine about once every 4 days for what it's worth. At the same time I empty my dirty water. 

It absolutely is questionable. At least I question as often as people think you have to clean them. They stink regardless, and as you know, these models I listed do not have a removable tank. It is not possible to clean them. With all models, the stink is inside a sealed tank. You only smell it when you open it to clean it lol

Not the original commenter, but I had a cheap no name one and two sharks. Those three each lived about 18 months. I do use them heavily (at least 3x a week) but love them so much. I wouldn’t pay more than $300 for one that vacuums and mops with a station that cleans it. But that seems to be the sweet spot for me. Right now I have a shark and a yeedi. The yeedi app often stops working but the cleaning itself is fine.

Just picked up a Yeedi during black friday. We have pets at home, and it actually handles the hair well, at least I don’t have to walk around with a lint roller every day.😂 It’s not going to get things 100% spotless, but it just makes things a lot more comfy. Especially on busy days, I honestly find it reliable.

I have a Yeedi robot vacuum and it’s the top home purchase for myself other than my espresso maker lol. It was pretty affordable too! I have two young boys so our floors constantly have dirt and crumbs plus dog hair. I run it 1-2 times a day and it works great

I got one of the YEEDI branded ones about 6 months back. it works really well and one of the best things i've gotten.

I've never bothered with the mop because I've got 2500 sq ft of concrete, live in the dusty desert, and have dogs. That would be futile with the tiny tank but the sweep is definitely worth it. I absolutely notice a big difference and I just got a cheap off brand called yeedi

We had Roombas for a while but just switched to Yeedi (?). It has a mop and vacuum. We used to have two dogs with our Roomba. The longer dog hair can get tangled, so you have to clean the brushes often. Now we have just the one short hair dog. The Yeedi (?) works well in the dog hair.
