OWNERSHIP

Living with it.

Flagship suction specs confirmed; real-world reliability and firmware stability not yet documented.

CES 2026 Gold Award recognizes design and demo. Weeks in shipping means no significant owner report base yet. Successor positioning to M12 Pro+ suggests iterative refinement, not architectural shift.

Common questions

What people actually ask.

5 answered

Operation

Does the Yeedi M16 Infinity include a mopping function like the M12 Pro+?

No confirmation in available sources yet. Yeedi’s M12 Pro+ offered mopping; the M16 Infinity spec sheet has not been fully disclosed.

Operation

What is the battery runtime on a single charge?

Manufacturer documentation and retail specs not yet published. Typical flagship vacuums in this class run 120-180 minutes.

Compatibility

Does the M16 Infinity work with Alexa or Google Home?

Standard for Yeedi flagships, but not explicitly confirmed for the M16 Infinity yet. Documentation pending.

Operation

How often do I need to empty or replace the dock's dust bag?

Self-emptying dock consumable cadence not yet published. Typical flagship bags are replaced every 3-6 months, cost $20-40.

Operation

Can it map and clean multiple floors independently?

Manufacturer describes multi-level mapping. Yeedi’s prior flagships stored multiple floor maps; confirmation pending for real-world multi-floor scheduling.
