Interesting news from Aliexpress: Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner

People who often make purchases in online stores, of course, know that you can buy high-quality and inexpensive goods on Aliexpress.

One of these was the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner, which went on sale at the end of 2020.

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

Characteristics

To more clearly understand what the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner is, it is not enough to read a review about it.

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

First of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the main characteristics of the proposed product.:

For a budget model, at a cost not exceeding $ 180, the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner has good performance.

But again, these are just dry numbers, and in order to give them a material basis, you will need to disassemble the device piece by piece, figuratively speaking, of course.

Package

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

So that the buyer does not doubt the novelty of the product, it is sealed and equipped with a plastic handle for more convenient carrying..

Inside is exactly the same box, where the entire set of the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner is actually placed.

Equipment

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

In addition to the device itself, it includes:

voluminous instruction, in different language versions, including Russian;
docking station (base for charging the battery of the device);
power adapter, power 19 W 0.6A, with cable;
side turbo brushes (brushes), in the amount of 2 pcs.;
spare filter with foam gasket;
replaceable central brush with pile;
microfiber cloth with holder;
a set of disposable microfiber cloths (5 pcs.).

We should pay tribute to the manufacturer, as for the budget segment, the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner is equipped pretty well.

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

Here, the Chinese, criticized by everyone for saving, obviously did not stint.

Accessories

It is worth considering in more detail the components of the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner, especially since some of them are the most common and do not differ in any way from hundreds of the same, but others are of interest, because they are not found in any other of the configurations of this kind.

One more time, in the same order:

Dock station. It is not particularly unique, except that the durable black plastic from which it is made is rarely used for budget models in terms of quality. And the manufacturer also applied a simple, but very practical solution, making the front legs of the docking station lower than the rear ones. This made it easier for the robot cleaner to automatically charge, and solved the problem of dragging it away when it gets back to work.
Power adapter. There were no surprises here, but, nevertheless, it deserves attention. And above all, the fact that it is removable, like charging a mobile phone, connects and disconnects from the docking station, which is unusual for most robotic vacuum cleaners. Otherwise, nothing unusual - a good, but not the best medium-power power supply, with a Euro plug, and a cable 150 cm long.
Side brushes. And here the manufacturer really pleased, since none of the well-known robotic vacuum cleaners has anything similar in the kit. The first of them is completely rubber, which allows you to remove the slightest contaminants from the floor during wet cleaning, which other brushes cannot cope with. The second is combined, it has both bristles and rubber blades, passing in one line, which is rather unusual.
Additional filter. Only its presence in the Yeedi K650 kit is surprising, given that more eminent, far from budget manufacturers are far from being so generous.But that's not even the point, visually this HEPA filter is very similar to those installed on vacuum cleaner engines to protect them from microparticles. It comes with a protective screen made of a spongy material, which seems to be foam rubber, but there is no certainty about this.
Set of 5 disposable microfiber cloths. This is another unusual and interesting element of the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner. For their intended purpose, they are used only once for wet cleaning, but if used for dry cleaning, or for wiping after wet cleaning, their service life will increase many times over. In addition, they are quite suitable for attaching to a water tank instead of a reusable one, and it comes with one.

As for other components, they are not that bad or of poor quality, but standard for all such devices, so it makes no sense to pay attention to their detailed description.

Appearance

The body design of the Yeedi K650 is as simple as its packaging, and in the same way, what lies under the nondescript shell will hardly be called so simple.

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

But it would be better to consider in more detail the features and their features of a largely unique robot vacuum cleaner.

Top part

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

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

There is a start / pause button on it, next to it there is an indicator that lights up in white when the device is charging.

A little lower is a QR code for downloading a branded mobile application.

Side part

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

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

Below them is a speaker, which has become an annoying element for many, since the Yeedi K650 is quite noisy, and this is one of its shortcomings.

The case itself is made of matte black plastic, durable, of high quality and does not emit odor when heated.

the front of

Although Yeedi K650 is not equipped with laser or camera navigation, it is well oriented in space with a built-in periscope and a mechanical bumper, located in front of the case, and many sensors, which does not allow it to bump into obstacles in the form of walls and furniture.

But in case of collisions, at the end of the bumper there is a movable damping element with glued 2 soft rubber strips, shock-absorbing action that protects furniture from damage when touched.

Rear end

At the back of the device is a water tank with a built-in pump, 300 ml liquid capacity and 400 ml waste container with 3 coarse and fine filters.

To prevent dust from being sucked out of the container, a check valve is provided. Both containers are combined, but are easily separated using a special handle.

A small brush is fixed above, cleaning the clogged HEPA filter and turbo brushes if hair is wound around them.

Bottom part

The lower working part is arranged as standard, there were no innovations here. On it are located quick-detachable side three-beam brushes.

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

Silicone turbo brush that does not need such protection, which is easily replaced by a bristle-petal.

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, the Yeedi K650 has an excellent assembly, besides, the components are made of high-quality materials, which are quite difficult to attribute to cheap ones.

Application

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

But it is difficult to say how true this is until you test the device.

And it turns out that all the functionality built into the plugin is mostly limited to choosing and switching to one of the 3 cleaning modes, including: automatic, local and around the perimeter.

But with its help, you can configure each of the modes at your discretion.:

suction power adjustment, with a choice of 4 positions;
napkin wetting intensity, with a choice of 3 positions;
adjusting the intensity of the noise and sound of the speaker;
scheduling cleaning, up to 7 days;
assessment of wear and condition of accessories;
viewing the complete history of cleanings;
disabling audio messages;
selection of an individual voice package.

Another available function of the application is the activation of recognition of magnetic tapes. But this is only if there are.

They are not included in the kit, so you will need to buy separately, if desired, of course. FROMIt should be noted that magnetic tapes are an indispensable thing in this case, thanks to them, the robot vacuum cleaner will not be able to leave the working area and drive in “the wrong place”.

Application installation

The Yeedi K650 mobile application is downloaded and installed in the same way as any other.

You can find it in the Google Play Market or AppStore stores using the QR code pasted on the top of the device, or through the browser search bar.

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

Application settings

To do this, the first step is to create an account, immediately after connecting, a request from Yeedi for registration will come to the smartphone.

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.

By default, the application is set to English, it is better to immediately switch it to Russian, since the application will send such signals about every Yeedi K650 action and its intentions.

Selecting a cleaning mode

This is also an important point in the settings of the tireless cleaner. Since he has a certain degree of independence, he will act at his own discretion, if you do not put him on a certain regime.

As noted above, there are 3:

Automatic - this is exactly the moment when the robot vacuum cleaner works uncontrollably, but communicates its intentions.
Local - Yeedi K650 starts cleaning at the specified time, moving in zigzags, starting from the place where he stood.
Along the perimeter - the device cleans only near static objects, moving along walls, cabinets, etc.

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

Many people are annoyed by this female voice and turn it off, but this is a very useful tool, and it's better to leave it anyway..

Application management

In this part, everything is extremely simple, even a child can understand the controls, given that there are only 3 buttons in the interface:

the button in the center - the inclusion of the specified cleaning parameters and its script;
button on the left - activation / deactivation of the device's response to a magnetic tape;
the button on the right is to interrupt cleaning and put the robot vacuum cleaner on recharging.

You can figure it out even at random, and by applying the control functionality just once, it is unlikely that anyone will forget the purpose of a particular button.

Useful Features

This is naturally not a separate section, but among the standard application settings there are those that are worthy of attention, but are often ignored, many perceive them as secondary, not of any practical use.

In particular, these include the following:

Traction power adjustment - By default, it is set to "Normal Mode". 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 pollution, it is better to switch to “Maximum”.
Do not disturb mode - as well as on a mobile phone, it involves temporarily turning off voice and sound messages. This feature will be relevant for those who have an urgent need to sleep longer on the weekend, which is not easy with a "talkative" robot.
"Find Robot" feature - 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 climb into hard-to-reach places, and get lost from sight. And with this function, its location will be quickly determined.

At first, the mobile application may seem difficult to learn, but it is not, in fact, it is as simplified as possible, as are its settings. But it's far from perfect and has some flaws..

The most common of these is that the application loses connection with the device. However, there is nothing to worry about, you just need to try again, if necessary, several times.

Practical use

Before you start the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner, you should prepare it for work.

The process is extremely simple, as is the case with the relentless cleaner, all you have to do is make sure his battery is fully charged, the trash can is cleaned, the water tank is full, the wet cleaning cloth is attached..

In this state, it is ready for use, it remains only to click on the "Start" button at the top of the device, or on a similar button in the mobile application.

After launching, the Yeedi K650 begins a leisurely rectilinear movement along parallel paths. It turns around and retreats a certain distance if it encounters any obstacle, which is signaled by a side or infrared sensor on the bumper.

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

The quality of cleaning is commendable, but if there are many obstacles in the path of the robot vacuum cleaner, there are missed places.

Moving systematically across the floor, Yeedi K650 sucks up dust and other types of blockage, unless it's just lumps of dirt, of course.

Next, microfiber comes into play, which picks up the smallest specks, down to microparticles. And finally, the process is completed by a napkin pressed to the floor by the holder, wiping and moisturizing the surface..

The result is simply amazing, and the quality of cleaning can be safely called ideal, since both dry and wet cleaning is carried out at the same time, which is inaccessible to other budget devices of this kind.

The Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner leaves no dust, no hair, no animal hair behind, wipes stains from smooth surfaces, in which it has no equal even among many expensive Premium class brothers.

But it is difficult for him to give too smooth surfaces, such as, for example, kitchen tiles.

This does not mean that in such a situation it is powerless, no, and here the robot will perform a demonstrative cleaning, it’s just that in such an environment it works to the limit of its capabilities and maximum mode.

After completing the cleaning work, the Yeedi K650 immediately returns to its usual place - the docking station, to recharge before the next cleaning.

It is worth paying attention to another important element directly related to the charge - an indicator located next to the start button.

When the robot is standing on the base and connected to the mains, it glows 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 robot vacuum cleaner is able to work uninterruptedly offline for 2 hours and clean an area of 150 m during this time².

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

So, at the maximum it will last no more than 1.5 hours, and during this time it will have time to clean an area of \u200b\u200bno more than 60-80 m². And this should be taken into account.

Device Care

This is another important point that many people forget about, which is absolutely impossible to do, in order to avoid costly breakdowns of the robot vacuum cleaner.

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

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

wear resistance

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, in what conditions it is used, and again, do not forget about care and thrift..

In the case of the Yeedi K650, for obvious reasons, napkins wear out most often in it, brushes are also subject to relatively rapid wear, followed by filters.

Spare wipes and a filter are included with the robot vacuum cleaner, but they don't last forever. What to do? You will need to periodically buy missing and worn out components on the official website of the manufacturer.

Summarizing

Perhaps, those who read the review to the end will have no doubts about the exclusivity of the Yeedi K650 robot vacuum cleaner, in fact, as well as its practical use and outstanding qualities.

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

Moreover, it is not so difficult, you just need to go to the Aliexpress website and browse the catalogs, or simply enter its name in the search.
