For working fathers, or let alone a parent, the benefits of having an automatic robot vacuum cannot be understated. Automatic cleaning systems can help take the pain out of maintaining a clean floor at home, especially a home with children. However, if we’re completely honest, when it comes to floor mopping, the technology hasn’t always performed as advertised. Many robovac owners (including myself) have unfortunately experienced dirty streaks, excessive water residue, and an inability to deal with stubborn stains.
Robot vacuum brand YEEDI have been pushing robovac technology forward for several years now, and claim to have developed an automatic, self-maintaining mopping solution that actually works. The star of the show is the YEEEDI OZMO Roller, a new roller mopping system that adorns the brand’s latest robovac model M14 Plus. The OZMO Roller departs from traditional mopping systems that typically use flat pad mop designs. YEEDI claims the new roller system is much more effective than previous designs. Let’s take a look under the hood to see what they’ve come up with.
As we all know, to remove tough stains you really need to put your back into the job and apply pressure to the floor. The OZMO Roller mop takes the same approach which means it’s better suited to remove difficult stains than traditional robovacs. The roller itself apparently spins at 200 RPM, which also helps with food stains or general grime that can build up in a home with children.
To tackle the issue of streaky, wet floors and excess water residue, the roller system uses instant self-washing. Basically, the roller is passed through a scraper to remove dirt, then water nozzles spray fresh water at the mop to keep it clean. The company claims this happens 200 times per minute.
As with all robot vacuums, the YEEDI M14 PLUS relies on a docking station to empty the dustbin, change water, and quietly charge itself when not in use. Their latest model places emphasis on reducing user maintenance. The system uses a smaller, less intrusive OMNI Station that cleans the mop using 75°C hot water and 63°C hot air drying. The station keeps itself clean with dirt detection, auto-empty and automatic water refill and draining. The idea is that the system quietly does its work without extra help for up to 150 days, leaving you to focus on more important things.
Aside from mopping, the system uses anti-tangle technology to avoid hair tangling on the vac’s main brush. A real plus for families with pets. It also has powerful vacuum suction power to help remove dirt and dust, especially on carpeted areas. Intelligently, it can detect carpeted areas and adjust accordingly, lifting the mop up to avoid getting your carpet damp.
As you might expect from a flagship robovac, it’s also good at navigating around the home and getting in close to the edge of floors, using an edge sensor and vision module helps to effectively avoid furniture and other obstacles on the floor. Great news for any of us that have witnessed a trapped robovac struggling to get free!
