SUMMARY READER RESPONSE DRAFT 4
Summary / Reader Response of the Yeedi Vac Station Draft 4
The webpage “Yeedi Vac Station review” from Tech Advisor
(2021) reviews the technical specifications and functionalities of the Yeedi
Vac Station. The Yeedi Vac Station includes a robot vacuum and a docking
station. The robot vacuum offers 200 minutes of run time per charge, and it can
cover up to 2000sqft (Yeedi, 2022A). According to Cowton (2021), the size of
the robot is 350mm wide and 77mm high, meaning it is not a problem getting into
difficult and tighter spots. The robot vacuum can empty its 450ml internal
dustbin into the 2.5L dust bag inside the docking station every time it returns
to the dock for a charge. The robot vacuum is efficient as it is equipped with
a motorized floor brush and a three-pronged side brush. The robot is also ideal
for light mopping as it is fitted with a microfiber wash pad clipped underneath
a 240ml removeable water tank. The robot vacuum is also equipped with a
motion-sensing camera used to identify and map out any rooms. The robot can be
commanded to clean specific rooms or the whole house with the application.
The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro has a higher return on investment compared
to that of its predecessor, the Yeedi Vac Station, because the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro
includes 3D obstacle avoidance technology, an oscillating mopping system, and a
carpet detection sensor, which the Yeedi Vac Station does not.
One such enhanced feature of the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is the 3D
obstacle avoidance technology. The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is guided by the 3D obstacle
avoidance technology and now has 10 times more precision in avoiding obstacles
than the Yeedi Vac series (Yeedi, 2022B). According to Dee (2022), the 3D
obstacle avoidance technology allows the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro to perform admirably
in avoiding items such as shoes, large toys and even coiled wires. The Yeedi
Vac 2 Pro will evade anything large enough within the line of sight of the
sensor. The Yeedi Vac Station, in contrast, is only equipped with visual
simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) navigation to help navigate and
move around (Cowton, 2022). While the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro can avoid huge objects
utilizing the 3D obstacle avoidance technology, the Yeedi Vac Station was
unable to do so successfully because it would bump into the impediment and
reroute itself.
Another feature that has been enhanced for the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro
is the mopping system, as it has a new oscillating system
compared to the Yeedi Vac Station’s mopping system. With the new oscillating
mopping technology, the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro perfects the mopping function by taking
inspiration from the manual mopping motion pattern. It rotates back and forth
but five times more quickly compared to manual mopping to get equally amazing
stain removal results (Yeedi, 2022B). According to Ansaldo (2022), the Yeedi
Vac 2 Pro’s new oscillating mopping system scrubs the floor mimicking human
using a stick mop, while most other vacuums like the Yeedi Vac Station just
drag the attached microfiber cloth over the floor. The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro was
tested in a cleaning test for its mopping performance. The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro was
put through two tests, one for red wine and one for grape juice, and it did
excellent on both (Dee, 2022). With this capability, the oscillating mopping
system of the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro has been demonstrated to be better in mopping and
cleaning than with the Yeedi Vac Station, which smears any liquid stains all
over the floor.
Another feature that has been enhanced for the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro
is the carpet detection sensor. The Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is equipped with a carpet
detection sensor that intelligently identifies the carpet. To get the greatest
clean, the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro will steer clear of the carpet when mopping and
automatically boost suction when vacuuming (Yeedi, 2022B). According to Ansaldo
(2022), the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro’s carpet detection sensor avoids the carpet totally
while the Yeedi Vac Station will automatically boost suction and drag the
dampened microfiber cloth over the carpet leaving it damp and musty. With this
capability in carpet detection, the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro has proven better in
preventing the carpet from being dampened compared to the Yeedi Vac Station,
which might damage the carpet by cleaning it with its mopping system.
One problem with the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is that the carpet
detection sensor prevents the robot from cleaning the carpet if the oscillating
mopping system is attached. This was evident when the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro was
tested to get over a carpet with its mopping system attached (Ansaldo, 2022).
This shows that even with the enhancement of the carpet detection sensor, the
Yeedi Vac 2 Pro may only clean the carpet when the oscillating mopping system
is detached. This restriction may eventually deter buyers if their house is
heavily carpeted. Although there have been some limitations to the carpet
detection sensor, the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro is still able to clean the carpet with
oscillating mopping system removed, and this is a clear indicator of
improvement in the carpet detection system.
In conclusion, the enhanced features of the Yeedi Vac 2 Pro
will help it perform mopping tasks and avoid carpet that the Yeedi Vac Station
could not achieve. With that assistance of the enhanced features, the Yeedi Vac
2 Pro would be a better value for money compared to its predecessor, the Yeedi
Vac Station.
