People who often shop online, of course, know that you can buy high-quality and inexpensive products on Aliexpress.

One of them was the robot vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650, which appeared on sale in late 2020.

This multifunctional cleaner immediately drew attention with its low cost and its promising characteristics, which have already been appreciated by thousands of customers of Aliexpress.

The features

To have a clearer idea of what a robot vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650 is, it is not enough to read a review about it.

Very often they only mislead the buyer, but do not provide answers to the questions of interest.

First of all, it is necessary to get acquainted with the main characteristics of the proposed product:

For a budget model, at a cost not exceeding 180 dollars, Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner has good characteristics.

But again, these are just dry numbers, and to give them a tangible basis, you would need to take the device apart one screw, figuratively speaking, of course.

Packaging

It is not difficult to recognize the remarkable device by its beige shipping box made of cardboard, square in shape, with the manufacturer's logo.

To make sure that the customer does not doubt the novelty of the product, it is sealed and equipped with a plastic handle for easy carrying.

Inside is exactly the same box, which actually is placed all set of a robot vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650.

The package

The little helper is equipped with a fairly large number of elements that make up a complete set.

In addition to the device itself, it includes:

A voluminous instruction, in different languages, including Russian;
docking station (base for charging the battery device);
Power adapter, 19W 0.6A, with cable;
side turbo brushes (brushes), 2 pcs;
Replacement filter with foam gasket;
Replaceable central lint brush;
Microfiber cloth with holder;
set of disposable microfiber cloths (5 pcs.).

We must give credit to the manufacturer, as for the budget segment, the robot-vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650 is equipped pretty well.

Especially since other devices of this kind, very rarely contain in the kit such elements as turbo brushes.

Here, the Chinese, criticized by all for the economy, clearly did not skimp.

Accessories

It is worth a closer look at the elements of a complete set of robot-vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650, Especially because some of them are very common and do not differ from hundreds of similar ones.The other ones are interesting, because they are not found in any other package of this kind.

Again, in the same order:

Docking Station. It is not particularly unique, except that the durable black plastic, of which it is made, in terms of quality is rarely used for budget models. The manufacturer also applied a simple but very practical solution, making the front legs of the docking station lower than the rear ones. This simplified the automatic delivery of the robot-vacuum cleaner for charging, and solved the problem with its dragging when it returns to work.
Power Adapter.. Here we did without any surprises, but, nevertheless, it deserves attention. And first of all, the fact that it is removable, like a cell phone charger, connects and disconnects from the docking station, which is not typical for most robot vacuum cleaners. In the rest, nothing unusual - not bad, but not the best power supply of average power, with euro-plug, and a cable 150 cm long.
Side turbo brushes. And here the manufacturer is really pleased, because none of the well-known robot vacuum cleaners has anything like this in the package. The first of them is completely rubber, which allows you to remove the slightest contaminants from the floor during wet cleaning, which other brushes can not cope with. The second is a combination, it has both bristles and rubber blades running in a single line, which is quite unusual.
Additional filter. The mere presence of it in the Yeedi K650 kit is surprising, considering that more established, far from budget-friendly manufacturers are far from as generous. But this is not even the point, visually this HEPA-filter is very similar to those installed on the motors of vacuum cleaners, to protect them from micro-particles. It comes with a protective screen made of a sponge-like material, seemingly made of foam rubber, but I'm not sure about that.
Set of 5 disposable microfiber cloths. This is another unusual and interesting feature of the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner. In their direct purpose they are used only once for wet cleaning, but if used for dry, or for wiping after wet, their lifespan will increase manifold. Also, they are quite suitable for attaching to the water tank instead of the reusable one, and it comes with one.

As for the other components, they are not that bad or poor quality, but standard for all such devices, so there is no point in paying attention to their detailed description.

Appearance

The case design of the Yeedi K650 is as simple as its packaging, and just the same, what lies beneath the unsightly shell would be hard to call so simple.

Generally speaking - this inexpensive cleaner is full of surprises and knows how to surprise.

But it will be better to consider in more detail the features and their features in many ways a unique robot vacuum cleaner.

The top part

The robot vacuum cleaner comes in a constant black and white color scheme: black body and white top.

The upper part of the body itself is made of white durable plastic, it is presented in the form of a wide rim, framing a glass disc with a glossy surface.

On it is the start/pause button, next to it is the indicator which lights up white when the device is charging.

Slightly lower there is a QR code to download the branded mobile application.

Side part

The button to connect/reset the application and the power on/off button are on the front panel, on the side of the device, and next to it there is an indicator showing the connection to the Wi-Fi network.

Next to them there is another button - to reset the robot vacuum cleaner.

Below them there is a speaker, which has become an annoying element for many people, because Yeedi K650 is quite noisy, and this is one of its drawbacks.

The case itself is made of matte black plastic, durable, high quality and odorless when heated.

Front

Although Yeedi K650 is not equipped with laser or camera navigation, It is very easy to navigate with its built-in periscope and mechanical bumperThe front of the device has a built-in periscope and multiple sensors that prevent it from bumping into obstacles such as walls or furniture.

But in case of collisions, at the end of the bumper is a movable damping element with glued two soft rubber strips, shock-absorbing effect, protecting the furniture from damage when touched.

Back part

At the back of the device there is a water tank with an integrated pump, Water tank with an integrated pump for 300 ml of liquid and a waste basket of 400 ml with 3 filters for coarse and fine cleaning..

To prevent dust from being sucked out of the container, a non-return valve is provided. The two containers are combined, but can easily be separated with a special handle.

Above is a small brush that cleans the clogging HEPA filter and turbo brushes if hair gets wrapped around them.

Bottom part

The lower working part is arranged in a standard way, no innovations were made here. On it there are detachable side three-way brushes.

The central brush, equipped with a protective element that prevents it from winding hair, hair and threads.

A silicone turbo brush that doesn't need such protection, which is easily replaced by a bristle brush.

And finally, 2 wheels, and 4 sensors that prevent the robot-vacuum cleaner from falling down the stairs.

It is worth noting one important detail, for a budget model at Yeedi K650 excellent build, in addition the components are made of quality materials, which are quite difficult to relate to the cheap.

Appendix

The developer claims that all the functionality of the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner can be easily placed in your smartphone if you download and install the proprietary app on it.

But how much of this corresponds to reality, it is difficult to say until you test the device.

And it turns out that all the functionality inherent in the plugin, most limited to the selection and transition to one of the 3 modes of cleaning, including: automatic, local and perimeter.

But it can also be used to customize each mode as you like:

4-way suction power control;
Wetting intensity of the cloth, with a choice of 3 positions;
adjustment of the noise and sound intensity of the speaker;
scheduling of the cleaning schedule, for a maximum of 7 days;
evaluation of wear and condition of accessories;
viewing of the complete cleaning history;
deactivation of sound messages;
selection of an individual voice package.

Another available feature of the app is the activation of magnetic tape recognition. But this is only if you have them.

They are not included in the kit, so you will need to buy them separately, if you want, of course. СIt is necessary to notice that the magnetic tapes are indispensable thing in this case, thanks to them the robot vacuum cleaner can not leave a working zone and pick up "in a wrong place"..

Installing the application

You can download and install the mobile app Yeedi K650 just like any other.

It can be found at Google Play Market or AppStore, using the QR-code affixed to the upper part of the device or in the search line in the browser.

The robot vacuum cleaner connects to Wi-Fi networks like all the gadgets with internet access, but only at 2.4 GHz frequency, and to configure it you will need to switch your smartphone to it, too.

Application settings

The first thing to do is to create an account, immediately after connecting, the smartphone will receive a registration request from Yeedi.

After that, the next step is to activate the device and connect it to the access point. If everything is done correctly, the robot will give a voice signal.

The default language in the app is English, it is better to switch it to Russian right away, as the app will send such signals about every action of Yeedi K650 and its intentions.

Choice of cleaning mode

This is also an important point in the settings of the tireless cleaner. Since it has a certain amount of autonomy, it will act on its own if it is not set to a certain mode.

As it was noted above, there are 3 such modes:

Automatic - this is just the moment when the robot vacuum cleaner works uncontrollably, but informs about its intentions.
Local - Yeedi K650 starts cleaning at a set time, zigzagging from where it was standing.
Perimeter - the device only cleans near static objects, moving along walls, cabinets, etc.

As well as before the start of cleaning, after its completion there will be a voice message about the front of the work done.

Many people are annoyed by this female voice and switch it off, but it is a very useful tool and it is better to keep it..

Managing the application

In this part everything is very simple, even a child can understand the control, given that the interface has only 3 buttons:

the button in the center - turning on the preset parameters of cleaning and its scenario;
the button on the left - activation/deactivation of the device reaction to the magnetic tape;
The button on the right - interruption of cleaning and putting the vacuum cleaner to recharge.

You can figure it out even by trial and error, and after using the control functions just once, it is unlikely that someone will forget the purpose of this or that button.

Useful Functions

Naturally this is not a separate section, but among the standard settings of the application there are those that are worthy of attention, but often ignored, many people perceive them as secondary, which do not carry any practical benefit.

In particular, these include the following:

Traction power control - It is set to "Normal mode" by default. This is the best option, but in the case of wet cleaning, "Quiet" will be more relevant, and if you have to deal with serious dirt, it is better to switch to "Maximum".
Do not disturb" mode - the same as on a cell phone, implies a temporary turning off of voice and sound messages. This feature will be relevant for those who have a strong need to sleep longer on weekends, which is not easy, with a "talking" robot.
Robot Finder - is another useful tool, especially if there are no magnetic tapes and the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner works in automatic mode. In this case, he can get into hard-to-reach places and get lost from sight. And with this feature, his location will be quickly identified.

At first, the mobile app may seem difficult to master, but it is not, in fact, it is as simple as possible, as well as its settings. But it is far from perfect, there are some disadvantages.

The most common one is that the application loses connection with the device. However, there is nothing wrong with this, you just need to retry, if necessary, several times.

Practical application

Before you start the Yeedi K650 robotic vacuum cleaner, you should get it ready for use.

This process is extremely simple, just like everything else about the tireless cleaner, you just need to make sure that its battery is fully charged, the waste container is cleaned, the water tank is filled, the wet cleaning cloth is attached.

In this state, it's ready to use, all that's left to do is press the "Start" button at the top of the device, or a similar button in the mobile app.

Once started, the Yeedi K650 begins a leisurely, straightforward movement in parallel paths. It turns around and retreats to a certain distance if it encounters an obstacle, which is signaled by a side or infrared sensor on the bumper.

Along the way, it sucks up all the dust and thoroughly cleans the given surface, no matter what it has to deal with.

The cleaning quality is commendable, but if there are many obstacles in the way of the robot vacuum cleaner, there are still places to miss.

Moving smoothly across the floor, the Yeedi K650 sucks up dust and other types of clogs, as long as they are not clumps of dirt, of course.

This is followed by a microfiber that picks up the tiniest debris, down to the micro particles. And finally, the process is rounded off with a cloth held against the floor, wiping and moisturizing the surface..

The result is simply amazing, and the quality of cleaning with confidence can be called ideal, because both dry and wet cleaning, not available for other budgetary devices of this kind, are carried out simultaneously.

Robot vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650 does not leave behind a speck of dust, hair and pet hair, scrubbing stains from smooth surfaces, what it has no equal even among the many expensive counterparts in the premium class.

But it has trouble with too smooth surfaces, such as, for example, kitchen tiles.

This is not to say that it is powerless in such a situation, no, and here the robot will do a demonstrative cleaning, just in such an environment it works at its maximum capacity and maximum mode.

This is just because Yeedi K650 recharges itself at its docking station after the end of the cleaning job.

Another important element directly related to the charge is the indicator next to the start button.

When the robot stands on the base and is connected to the mains, it lights up with a serene white light. But if the battery is discharged during operation, the indicator lights up with an aggressive red light.

Performance

According to the manufacturer, the Yeedi K650 robotic vacuum cleaner is able to work uninterruptedly in standalone mode for 2 hours. and clean an area of 150 m².

But this, to put it mildly, is not true, even though a good lithium-ion battery at 2600 mAh, can not cope with such volumes. Important is the mode in which the device has to work.

So, at maximum it will last no more than 1.5 hours, and will have time to clean an area of no more than 60-80 m .². And this should be taken into account.

Care of the device

This is another important point that many people forget, which should not be done categorically, to avoid costly breakdowns robot vacuum cleaner.

After you finish cleaning, it should be prepared for the next one. If the previous one was dry, it is enough to clean the container from accumulated debris and wipe the bottom with a dry rag.

After wet cleaning you need to pour out the remaining water in the tank, rinse and dry the microfiber well. That's all, there is nothing complicated about it and in time it will take no more than 5 minutes.

Wearability

It is quite obvious that each mechanism, part and element has its own service life and suitability.

But here it all depends on many factors, how often the device is used, under what conditions it is used, and again, don't forget about maintenance and care..

In the case of the Yeedi K650, the most frequent wear and tear is for obvious reasons the wipes, the brushes are also subject to relatively quick wear and tear, followed by the filters.

Spare wipes and filters are included with the robot vacuum, but they are not eternal. What to do? You will need to periodically buy missing and worn components on the official website of the company-manufacturer.

To sum it up

Perhaps those who read the review to the end, there will be no doubt in the exclusivity of a robot vacuum cleaner Yeedi K650, as well as in its practical usefulness and outstanding qualities.

With the cost, within 11 000 rubles, it is the best option out of all possible, and buying it will be the best gift not only for housewives, but for all those who love cleanliness and comfort in their home.

The more that it is not so difficult, you only need to go to the site and browse Aliexpress catalogs, or just enter its name in the search.
