This maintenance guide comes from years of hands-on customer support for robot vacuum owners, now published here for anyone to use rather than kept inside one support inbox. Several of the models and parts named below link out to Plus.Parts®, the maintenance parts store run by the same company behind this site, and that is also where much of the experience behind this guide comes from.
The Yeedi M12 Pro+
and Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus are Yeedi’s flagship robot vacuums, built around a twin spinning mop system paired with an OMNI dock station that washes the mop pads in hot water at around 70°C and dries them with warm air at around 45°C before the next session. The Pro+ runs 11,000 Pa of suction and the Ultra Plus 11,800 Pa, both driven through a compact washable filter cartridge and a V-shaped zero-tangle main brush suited to mixed hard floor and carpet. Both models navigate with a LiDAR-based TrueMapping 2.0 system that builds a 2D or 3D map of roughly 100 square metres in six minutes, and use TruDetect 3D 3.0 structured-light obstacle avoidance to spot obstacles at millimetre level. That combination of strong suction, an active hot-water wash station, and continuous sensor operation places consistent load on the filter, mop pads, dock wash plate, and dock dustbag simultaneously. This guide covers the complete maintenance schedule for both models and explains where they differ in practice.
Why Yeedi M12 series robots need more frequent maintenance
High-airflow suction through a compact washable filter medium
Both the Yeedi M12 Pro+ at 11,000 Pa and the Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus at 11,800 Pa drive high-airflow suction through a small, removable filter cartridge housed in the robot’s dustbin compartment. At the airflow rating these robots operate at, the filter medium darkens visibly within two to three weeks of daily household use. The filter is rated as washable, and rinsing under a low-pressure cold tap extends service life, but rinsing does not restore the original airflow rating once the pleats have compressed progressively through repeated high-velocity sessions. A filter that looks acceptably clean after a rinse but has been in service for more than three months is typically the underlying cause when suction on hard floor feels noticeably weaker than it did the previous week. Pleat compression reduces the effective filter surface area gradually, and the motor compensates by working harder against the restricted flow, which shortens bearing life over time. Replacing the filter every three to four months under daily use keeps suction at the rated level and protects the motor from sustained high-load operation.
The twin spinning mop system loads the dock wash plate every session
The twin spinning mop pads on the M12 Pro+ and M12 Ultra Plus rotate at constant pressure against the floor during every mopping session. By the time the robot docks, each pad carries a film of household soiling, fine debris, and residual moisture from the floor. The hot-water wash cycle in the OMNI dock station rinses this contamination off the pad surface and channels the dirty rinse water into the dirty-water tank. Every wash run deposits a slurry of fine debris on the wash plate, and that slurry bakes onto the plate surface during the subsequent warm-air drying phase. Over days and weeks this deposit builds into a mineral and residue film that begins to deflect wash water unevenly across the pad, causing one pad to return to the floor noticeably less clean than the other. A weekly wipe of the wash plate after the robot has docked and the station has cycled off prevents the baking process from starting and keeps the wash plate delivering an even spread of water across both pads from session to session.
The hot-water wash cycle accelerates mineral deposit build-up in the dock
The OMNI dock station on both the M12 Pro+ and the M12 Ultra Plus heats water to around 70°C before spraying it across the mop pads, then dries them with warm air at around 45°C. At that wash temperature, calcium and magnesium dissolved in tap water precipitate onto the wash plate and the spray nozzles considerably faster than they would on a cold-water dock. In soft-water regions a monthly wipe of the spray nozzles is adequate. In moderate to hard-water areas the nozzles require attention every two to three weeks, with a dilute citric acid descale run every two to three months to dissolve the mineral film before it hardens into a blockage. A partially blocked nozzle is the single most common cause of uneven pad wash and resoiled streaks on hard floor in this series, and identifying it as a descale task rather than a pad replacement saves a service call in the majority of cases.
The V-shaped main brush accumulates hair at the end caps despite anti-tangle design
The main brush on both Yeedi M12 models uses a V-shaped bristle pattern combined with comb teeth on the brush housing that sweep hair into the suction port before it wraps around the brush body. In practice the comb system clears the bulk of pet and human hair across the brush length during normal operation, but fine hair and thread still migrate to the end caps where the brush meets the bearing housing. A brush that appears fully clean along its length can carry a compacted ring of hair at either end, and that ring puts a steady, quiet load on the brush motor. Removing the brush weekly and clearing both end caps with a narrow pick or scissors prevents the wrap from compacting into a density that the comb teeth cannot clear on their own, and avoids the extended low-load motor runs that precede a brush stall error on both models.
LiDAR navigation and structured-light obstacle avoidance add sensor upkeep
Both Yeedi M12 models navigate with TrueMapping 2.0, a LiDAR-based system that builds a 2D or 3D map of roughly 100 square metres in about six minutes and keeps that map current across sessions. Obstacle avoidance is handled separately by TruDetect 3D 3.0, which combines structured light with an AI recognition model to detect obstacles at millimetre level and route around them before contact. Because both systems depend on a clear line of sight, dust settling on the LiDAR turret window or the structured-light emitter lens degrades mapping accuracy and obstacle detection in a way that is easy to mistake for a software problem. A robot that starts remapping rooms it has already learned, or that hesitates near furniture it previously passed cleanly, is showing the early sign of a sensor hygiene issue rather than a mapping fault. Weekly attention to these windows is now part of the standard routine on this platform in a way it was not on earlier bump-and-run Yeedi models.

| Model | Suction | Mop system | Dock wash | Dustbag | Key difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yeedi M12 Pro+ |
11,000 Pa | Twin spinning mop pads | Hot water (around 70°C), warm-air dry (around 45°C) | 3.5 L | Baseline flagship robot |
| Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus |
11,800 Pa | Twin spinning mop pads | Hot water (around 70°C), warm-air dry (around 45°C) | 3.5 L | Extended mop coverage per session |
Yeedi M12 Pro+ as the baseline platform robot
The Yeedi M12 Pro+ is the entry point to the M12 platform. It combines 11,000 Pa of suction with twin spinning mop pads and docks into an OMNI station that handles auto-empty, hot-water mop washing, and warm-air drying. The robot follows the platform-standard maintenance schedule: filter replacement every three to four months, main brush replacement every six to nine months, mop pad inspection at eight weeks, and dock bag replacement every four to seven weeks under daily use. Owners transitioning from an earlier robot vacuum without a hot-water dock station will notice that the dock requires more regular attention than a simple charging dock, primarily around the wash plate and spray nozzles. Once that rhythm is established, the M12 Pro+ is a predictable robot to maintain across all its service intervals.
Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus and its extended mop coverage
The Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus raises suction slightly to 11,800 Pa and retains the twin spinning mop system of the Pro+, adding onboard water management that allows the robot to extend mop coverage between dock returns. On an equivalent floor area, the Ultra Plus covers more mopped surface per session without pausing to return to the dock mid-run. Both models share the same TrueMapping 2.0 LiDAR navigation and TruDetect 3D 3.0 obstacle avoidance system, so sensor maintenance is identical across the range. The additional mop coverage on the Ultra Plus accelerates pad wear relative to the M12 Pro+, which shifts pad inspection from the eight-week baseline to approximately six weeks. The Ultra Plus is particularly well-suited to larger open-plan homes where returning to the dock mid-session would interrupt cleaning continuity, but the longer mop runs per session mean the pads accumulate soiling and wear slightly faster than they would on the same floor area divided into multiple shorter sessions.
Replacement parts and service intervals
Main brush roll
Clean every one to two weeks and replace every six to nine months under daily residential use. On the Yeedi M12 Pro+ and Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus, the V-shaped bristle pattern keeps the length of the brush relatively clear between weekly cleans, but compacted hair still builds at the end caps even on robots with anti-tangle comb designs. Lift the brush out weekly, check both end caps with a narrow pick, clear any compacted wrap from the bearing face, and confirm the brush spins freely by hand before reinstalling. Replace once the bristles have taken a permanent set on one side or the rubber segments show visible compression. Permanent bristle set reduces agitation against carpet pile and indicates the brush can no longer maintain consistent floor contact across its full sweep arc, which produces an uneven pickup pattern on pile carpet and accumulation of fine debris at the edge of each brush stroke on hard floor. In pet households where coat shed is significant, check the six-month end of the replacement range rather than waiting until nine months. Neither model yet has the main brush roll listed as a separate single item, so both model names above link to their maintenance set, which includes the brush roll as one of its components.
Dust filter
Clean every one to two weeks by tapping the filter frame firmly over a waste bin to dislodge loose debris. The filter on both Yeedi M12 models is washable; rinsing with cold water under a low-pressure tap does extend service life when done carefully. Allow the filter to air-dry fully for at least 24 hours before reinstalling. A damp filter reduces airflow immediately on reinsertion and can shed fibres toward the motor chamber during the wet period before it dries completely. Replace every three to four months under daily use. A filter that has been in service longer than this window produces a measurable drop in hard-floor pickup performance even when it appears visually intact, because the pleats compress progressively with each high-airflow session and reduce the effective filter surface area without any visible indication at the filter face. Owners running the M12 Ultra Plus with extended mop sessions should err toward the three-month end of the replacement range, as additional cleaning time per session increases total motor-on hours per week compared to the M12 Pro+ running equivalent floor area in shorter sessions. An individual filter is not yet listed on its own for either model, so both continue to link to the maintenance set, which includes the filter cartridge.
Battery
The Yeedi M12 platform battery is a lithium-ion pack rated for 180 to 200 minutes of runtime under standard suction conditions. Under daily use the battery retains full runtime for approximately two to three years before capacity begins to fall noticeably below the rated figure. The most reliable signal that replacement is needed is a consistent reduction in cleaning session length that cannot be explained by a change in floor area or suction setting. Keeping the charging contacts clean is the most practical maintenance step for the battery system: a smudged or oxidised contact on either the robot base or the dock interrupts the charging circuit and causes the M12 Pro+ or M12 Ultra Plus to end sessions prematurely regardless of the actual battery condition. Wipe the contacts on both the robot and the dock with a dry cloth monthly. Persistent charging interruptions on this platform present as a base communication or charging error rather than a battery fault as such; the first steps are to check and clean the charging contacts on both the robot and dock, then power-cycle the dock for around 30 seconds, and finally check whether a firmware update is pending before assuming the battery itself has degraded. The battery management system on this platform is designed for regular top-up charging and performs best when the robot is docked between sessions rather than stored off-charge for extended periods.
Mop pads
The hot-water wash cycle in the OMNI dock station handles daily hygiene for both models automatically. Inspect the pads at eight weeks on the M12 Pro+
and at approximately six weeks on the M12 Ultra Plus, where the extended floor coverage per session accelerates pad wear proportionally. Replace once the microfibre surface texture has thinned noticeably, the pads feel stiff after a dock wash cycle, or persistent discolouration appears in the centre of either pad. A pad past its absorbent life no longer lifts soiling from the floor; it redistributes it, which produces resoiled streaks that persist through multiple cleaning passes and are easily mistaken for a blocked spray nozzle. Run the descale sequence first before concluding the pad is at fault, since a partially blocked nozzle produces an identical visual symptom. If streaking persists after the descale and the nozzles appear clear, replace the affected pad individually rather than waiting for both to show equal wear. The hot-water cycle cannot restore fibre absorbency once the pad has passed its working lifespan; only pad replacement resolves the streaking pattern at that point.
Side brush
Inspect weekly. The single side brush on each Yeedi M12 model picks up hair and thread around its mounting post during normal cleaning, and the accumulated ring puts quiet but consistent strain on the brush motor long before it becomes visible from above. Lift the brush off its post weekly, clear the post with a narrow pick, and refit. Replace every four to six months under daily use, and sooner in pet households where shed coat is heavier and accumulates around the post faster. A side brush with bent or splayed bristles no longer flicks debris effectively into the main brush path, which shows up as a persistent line of missed debris running parallel to the skirting board on the next cleaning pass. This symptom is most clearly visible on light-coloured hard floor in raking afternoon light, where the debris line stands out clearly against the surface and confirms the side brush needs attention rather than a map or boundary adjustment. Neither the Pro+ nor the Ultra Plus has the side brush listed as a separate single item yet, so replacement side brushes for both are sourced through the maintenance set.
Dock dustbag
The 3.5-litre dock bag is rated for up to 90 days of capacity. Under daily auto-empty in a moderate pet household, a more realistic replacement window is four to seven weeks. A bag that is visually full but has not yet triggered the replace-bag notification in the app still reduces auto-empty transfer efficiency because the air path inside the bag is restricted by compacted debris. If the robot’s internal dustbin feels unusually full after a docking cycle on either the M12 Pro+
or the M12 Ultra Plus, the bag has reached its working capacity regardless of what the app indicator reports. Replace at that point rather than waiting for the notification. A bag that is running at reduced transfer efficiency causes the robot to restart each cleaning session with a partially loaded dustbin, which reduces available bin capacity mid-session and can trigger an unexpected bin-full pause on longer runs.
Dock wash plate and spray nozzles
Wipe the wash plate inside the OMNI dock station weekly after the robot has docked and the station has cycled off. The plate collects a slurry of fine household debris rinsed off the mop pads, and that slurry bakes onto the plate surface during the subsequent warm-air drying phase, which runs at around 45°C. The spray nozzles that distribute wash water, heated to around 70°C, across the mop pads need a monthly wipe in soft-water regions, every two to three weeks in hard-water regions, and a dilute citric acid descale run through the clean-water tank every two to three months in any water quality. Fill the clean-water tank with the citric acid solution, run a wash cycle on both the M12 Pro+ or M12 Ultra Plus dock, then follow with two plain cold-water rinse cycles before resuming normal operation. A partially blocked nozzle is the single most common cause of uneven mop pad wash and resoiled streaks on hard floor in this series, and it is resolved by a descale cycle rather than by pad replacement in the majority of cases.
Dock clean-water tank and dirty-water tank
Refill the clean-water tank with cold tap water, or cold filtered water in very hard-water regions. Never use hot water or detergent in the clean-water tank beyond the cleaning solution specifically approved by the manufacturer for this station type; unapproved solutions can coat the nozzle apertures with a residue that descaling cannot remove. Empty the dirty-water tank every two to three days under daily use, or at every bin-empty cycle if that cadence is more frequent. A dirty-water tank left standing for longer develops an odour that transfers back onto the mop pads during the next wash cycle regardless of the hot-water wash temperature. Do not leave dirty water standing over a weekend; compounds that form in a static dirty-water tank are not fully cleared by a single subsequent wash cycle on either the M12 Pro+ or the M12 Ultra Plus station.
Sensor windows and cliff sensors
The leading-edge obstacle sensor windows and the underside cliff sensors collect a dust film within a week of daily use on both Yeedi M12 models. A smudged sensor window produces false obstacle readings and unnecessary detours that add time to each cleaning session and cause the robot to remap areas it has already cleaned. Wipe each sensor window with a dry microfibre cloth weekly, including the LiDAR turret window that feeds the TrueMapping 2.0 navigation system. The cliff sensors on the underside are recessed behind a small lens that collects an oily film in kitchens, particularly near cooking surfaces; a weekly wipe prevents the robot from treating open floor as a cliff edge, which is a symptom that appears gradually and is commonly attributed to a software issue before the sensors are inspected. The forward TruDetect 3D 3.0 obstacle avoidance sensor on the M12 Ultra Plus in particular benefits from a wipe after any cooking session in an open-plan kitchen, as airborne oil deposits on the emitter lens generate false short-range obstacle detections even in clear room space.

Common problems and their maintenance causes
Suction noticeably weaker than it used to be
High-airflow suction produces a clear drop in hard-floor pickup performance when the filter is loaded, often long before the reduction becomes apparent on carpet where the pile compensates for reduced airflow. Remove the filter from the M12 Pro+ or M12 Ultra Plus first, tap it firmly over a waste bin, and inspect the pleats closely. If the pleats appear compressed or the medium has shifted to a consistent grey rather than showing the clean areas typical of a filter still within its service window, replace rather than rinse at that point. If the filter appears visually intact, check the intake port on the base of the robot for a hair mat wedged at the corner of the intake opening; a partial intake blockage produces an identical suction reduction to a loaded filter and is easily missed without a visual inspection of the underside intake port. Clearing the intake mat often restores rated suction without requiring a filter replacement if the filter is still within its service window. As neither model has an individual filter listed separately yet, a replacement filter for either robot is sourced through the maintenance set.
Mop pads leaving damp or resoiled streaks after a dock wash cycle
The dock spray nozzles are partially blocked or the wash plate carries a mineral film deflecting wash water unevenly across the pad surface. Wipe both the wash plate and the nozzle apertures, then run a dilute citric acid descale cycle through the clean-water tank on the M12 Pro+ or M12 Ultra Plus station and follow it with two plain cold-water rinse cycles before resuming normal operation. If streaking persists on one pad only after the descale and the nozzles appear clear, that specific pad has reached the end of its absorbent life and should be replaced. The hot-water wash cycle cannot restore fibre absorbency once the pad has degraded past its working lifespan; only pad replacement resolves the streaking pattern in that case. If both pads streak equally after a descale, inspect the dirty-water tank drainage channel for a partial blockage that is recirculating dirty water into the wash cycle.
Persistent sour or musty odour from the dock station
The dirty-water tank has sat for longer than two to three days, or the warm-air drying vents are restricted by lint accumulation. Empty and rinse the dirty-water tank, wipe the dock vents with a dry cloth, and extend the drying cycle duration in the app if that option is available. Hard-water residue on the wash plate also carries a persistent smell once it bakes on during the 45°C drying phase; a weekly wipe of the wash plate prevents odour from baking onto the surface entirely, which is considerably easier than resolving it after the residue has hardened over multiple weeks of repeated heat cycles. On either Yeedi M12 model, a descale run every two to three months prevents the progressive mineral build-up that is the primary driver of persistent dock odour in hard-water households.
Hair ring building at the main brush end caps
The anti-tangle V-shaped design keeps the bulk of the brush body clear, but long fibres still migrate to the end caps where the brush meets the bearing housing during normal cleaning on both the M12 Pro+ and the M12 Ultra Plus. A hair ring at the end cap adds quiet but consistent load to the brush motor and can produce a short-duration brush stall error that clears before it can be investigated. Remove the brush weekly and clear both end caps with a narrow pick or scissors before the wrap has time to compact. This is a normal platform characteristic rather than a product fault, and a weekly routine prevents it from becoming a motor load problem. In households with one or more long-haired occupants, a twice-weekly end-cap check during high-shedding seasons keeps the brush motor running at its rated load consistently. A replacement main brush roll for either model is sourced through the maintenance set, as neither is listed as an individual item yet.
Robot reports a full dustbag shortly after a bag replacement
The new bag is correctly seated but the auto-empty chute sensor is blocked by fine dust accumulated on the contact surface. This condition surfaces on the platform as a clean drop sensor error, meaning the optical sensor near the dustbin that confirms the bag drop has completed is dirty or obstructed rather than the bag itself being faulty. Wipe the dock chute opening and the matching port on the base of the M12 Pro+ or M12 Ultra Plus with a dry cloth. Do not use a damp cloth in the chute area; moisture in the chute reduces transfer efficiency during the next auto-empty cycle and can leave the clean drop sensor reporting a false full-bag state again on the following cycle. After wiping, manually run an auto-empty cycle from the app and observe whether the bag seating indicator clears. If it does not, remove the bag, wipe the sensor contact points directly, and reseat the bag with the seam correctly aligned to the bag opening channel inside the dock compartment.
Mop pads returning stiff or still damp after the warm-air dry cycle
The warm-air dry vents at the base of the dock, which run at around 45°C, are partially blocked by lint accumulation, reducing airflow over the pads during the drying phase. Wipe the vent grilles on the M12 Pro+ and M12 Ultra Plus dock stations weekly. If stiffness persists after clearing the vents, the pad fibres have compressed past their absorbent lifespan and the pads should be replaced. A pad that returns consistently stiff or damp after a full dry cycle indicates the microfibre has lost the open structure that allows warm air to circulate through the pad, which is a wear state that cannot be reversed through additional wash or dry cycles. The condition is more common on the M12 Ultra Plus, where the longer mop sessions per run accelerate the rate at which the microfibre surface texture compresses.
Robot detours around empty floor or declines to leave the dock
The leading-edge sensor windows and the underside cliff sensors all collect a dust film within a week of daily use. Because navigation on this platform relies on the TrueMapping 2.0 LiDAR turret and TruDetect 3D 3.0 structured-light obstacle avoidance rather than simple bump sensing, a smudged window produces false obstacle readings and unnecessary detours logged in the app as avoided objects. Wipe each sensor window, including the LiDAR turret, with a dry microfibre cloth weekly. The M12 Ultra Plus with obstacle avoidance enabled is particularly sensitive to sensor contamination near kitchen islands and low-profile furniture, where airborne cooking grease deposits on the forward sensor lens generate false short-range detections that add significant time to each cleaning session. If false detours persist after cleaning all sensor surfaces, check whether the robot has lost its saved map after a firmware update; a manual remap from the app restores normal routing without requiring a service call in most cases.
Robot ends charging early or fails to dock reliably
This behaviour typically presents on the platform as a base communication or charging error rather than genuine battery failure. Start by wiping the charging contacts on both the robot underside and the dock with a dry cloth, since oxidation or a light film of dust on either surface interrupts the charging circuit long before battery capacity is actually affected. If cleaning the contacts does not resolve it, power-cycle the dock by disconnecting it from mains power for around 30 seconds before reconnecting. If the fault continues after both steps, check whether a firmware update is pending in the app; a mismatched firmware state between the robot and the dock is a documented cause of intermittent charging errors on this platform and is resolved by completing the update rather than by replacing hardware.
What consistent maintenance protects over time
Every consumable on the Yeedi M12 platform operates under meaningful, cumulative load. The filter processes high-airflow suction multiple times per day, the wash plate is heated and rinsed after every cleaning run, the auto-empty cycle fires air through the dock chute on each dock return, and the spinning mop pads cycle at constant pressure against the floor during every mopping session. Each subsystem wears at a rate directly influenced by the condition of the subsystem before it in the service chain. A loaded filter makes the motor work harder and shortens motor bearing life. An overloaded dock bag breaks the chute seal and drops auto-empty efficiency, causing the robot to start each session with a partially loaded dustbin. A blocked spray nozzle forces the pads to rewash residual soiling from the previous run rather than starting each session from a clean pad surface. The Plus.Parts® Maintenance Set covers the full service scope for the Yeedi M12 Pro+ and Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus in a single order: main brush roll, side brush, filter cartridge, mop pads, and dock dustbag. Where only a single component needs replacing, the mop pads and the dock dustbag are now also available on their own for both models, linked throughout this guide wherever they are mentioned by name. Staying on the maintenance schedule across the full service scope keeps each subsystem within its design envelope and extends the robot’s working life well past the interval where deferred-maintenance wear becomes cumulative and irreversible.
How the Yeedi M12 series models differ
Both robots in the M12 series share the same platform architecture: twin spinning mop pads, a V-shaped zero-tangle main brush, a high-suction brushless motor through a compact washable filter, TrueMapping 2.0 LiDAR navigation with TruDetect 3D 3.0 obstacle avoidance, and an OMNI dock station that handles auto-empty, hot-water mop washing, and warm-air drying between sessions. They use identical consumables and follow the same maintenance schedule in all but one area. The maintenance differences between the two models are driven by how much floor area each robot covers per mop session, by the small suction gap between them, and by the onboard water management the Ultra Plus carries.
Yeedi M12 Pro+
The Yeedi M12 Pro+ is the baseline model in the series, running 11,000 Pa of suction. It covers the standard mopping session length determined by its onboard water tank capacity, returning to the dock when the tank runs low and requiring a refill before resuming if the floor area is larger than a single tank covers. Mop pads on the M12 Pro+ accumulate soiling at the rate expected for the tank-limited session length, which places pad inspection at the eight-week interval. Filter, main brush, side brush, dock bag, and dock station maintenance all follow the platform baseline described throughout this guide. The M12 Pro+ is the more straightforward of the two models to maintain because its mop session length is consistent and bounded by tank capacity, making service interval predictions reliable across different household floor areas.
Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus
The Yeedi M12 Ultra Plus raises suction to 11,800 Pa and adds onboard water management that extends mop coverage per session beyond the standard tank capacity of the M12 Pro+. The robot covers more mopped floor area per run without pausing mid-session, which makes it particularly well-suited to larger open-plan homes. The additional mop coverage comes with a proportional increase in pad wear rate, shifting pad inspection from eight weeks to approximately six weeks in typical residential use. The longer motor-on hours per session also make the three-month end of the filter replacement range more appropriate than the four-month end for owners running the Ultra Plus in large homes daily. All other maintenance intervals, including dock station care, main brush replacement, side brush replacement, and dustbag replacement, are identical to those of the M12 Pro+. Owners who run the Ultra Plus in extended sessions covering the full home in a single uninterrupted run should establish a habit of checking the dirty-water tank at every session end rather than on a fixed calendar schedule, since tank fill rate varies with floor area covered.
