4. SwitchBot S10
The SwitchBot S10 vacuum cleaner robot is the perfect solution for home cleaning. It is a combination of the power of a vacuum cleaner and mop. It is fitted with unique design and structure that allows it to gather dust and supply mopping water within the same machine.
It comes with all the sensors that are found on top-of-the-line robotic vacuums. This lets it map your home in real time while avoiding obstacles and recognizing different kinds of carpets and hard flooring. A front-facing AI camera is also available to help you to navigate through your home and locate areas that aren't accessible to the majority of robotic vacuums.
This robot is fitted with powerful suction motors capable of taking pet hair dirt, dust and other particles both from hard carpeting and floors with low pile. The app allows you to modify the robot to meet your preferences. You can create custom cleaning routines and adjust mopping and vacuuming power.
It is exceptionally efficient at mopping and comes with the RevoRoll roller mop that creates 10N of force on any floor, and a RinseSync system that automatically cleans itself as it moves through your home. This helps to keep the mop clean as it gathers dirt and keeps it from spreading around your home.
Unfortunately, the S10's battery life is not as good as some of its competitors. It may need an additional recharge in the event of more space in your home. It can also be quite loud when it is in operation, so might not be a good choice to use in places where quiet is desired. It is, however, an excellent value for its price. The SwitchBot S10 is a model that is unique in its class due to its sleek, modern design.
5. K10 Plus
The K10 Plus is an upgrade from Switchbot's bestselling Mini robot vacuum. The latest version comes with an Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush, Advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor and upgraded suction power that can reach up to 3000Pa to offer superior corner coverage and overall cleaning.
Using SLAM navigation and a user-friendly application, the K10 Plus cleans thoroughly and efficiently. The PSD sensor and the rotary brush work together to navigate furniture. Its four-stage cleaning method consolidates sweeps, lifts, and vacuums to remove debris from floors and carpets. The dust bin will empty itself, so there's no need to empty it frequently.
The app can also be used to mark off areas of your home that you want the device to avoid, such as pets or power cords. This is a feature common in robotic vacuums. It's helpful when certain areas of your home need more attention.
You can configure the K10 Plus so that it returns to its base station after 60, 75 or even 90 minutes to empty its trash bin. This is a significant improvement over many other robots that must be returned frequently and manually empty and emptied manually, which could save you time.
In my tests, I found that the K10 Plus' battery life was excellent. It lasted 110 minutes on one charge which is much more than the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential's 127 minutes.
The K10 Plus is a compact device that can be easily placed under furniture or in small spaces. It connects to Wi-Fi and comes with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri shortcuts. It works with IFTTT, Samsung SmartThings and IFTTT. The app tracks the use of its accessories such as the filter, side brushes, and dust bag, letting you know when it's time to change them.
