Yeedi C12 Pro Plus
Verdict
If you want the cheapest robot that still cleans competently, the Yeedi C12/C12 Pro Plus offers smart navigation and solid floor pickup at a bargain price. You give up obstacle avoidance and automatic mop lifting, but as a budget starter bot it is hard to beat for the money.
