Overview
The C12 line is Yeedi's budget lidar robot with a bagless self-emptying station, avoiding the cost of dust bags. The C12 Pro Plus (2024) adds a vibrating mop pad, and the C12 Combo (January 2025) pairs a 10,000 Pa robot with a cordless stick vacuum that docks in the same station and has its own wet-cleaning floorhead. Reviews praise the vacuuming and runtime, but TechGearLab found the robot bumped into small objects and cords, and the mopping is basic with no pad washing. By October 2026 the C12 Pro Plus and C12 Combo no longer appeared on Amazon US (unconfirmed discontinuation), while the C12 Plus was still sold new by Yeedi and the newer C14 Pro Plus had joined the range. The step-up model with a mop-washing dock is the M14 Plus.
