"it's pretty much completely hands off. ... It self empties it's waste into a collector after every vacuum, which you only need to empty a couple times a year."
"I change the bag once every couple of months."
"The S10 is unique in that it comes with two bases, with one dedicated to dustbin emptying and one to water management."

"And the best part that I really liked, is that it also hooks into your actual plumbing. ... Clean water in for every mopping, and the waste gets flushed down the drain. ... That's what really sold me"
"it has a roller mop, and it dumps dirty mop water into my main, instead of a bucket."
"The cylindrical roller mop (like in the Eufy) looked like the best solution in terms of how well it cleans. And it does clean quite well. ... after 6 months of use I can't say there is a visual difference near the edges."

"auto empty mop station; this is the real standout feature for me. ... It's super easy to hook up the two hoses under your sink. ... The dock slides nicely under the toe kick of your cabinets and the robot will auto fill and drain the mop. ... No reservoirs of funky dirty water to deal with, it's all just pumped away. ... The dock requires no direct power, rather it runs off the robots power when it docks."

"I had the auto-fill station connected to the watter supply / drain, set up the schedule to run dayly and pretty much forgot about it. ... I do some very minimal maintenance every few weeks - mostly removing cat / wife hair from the rotating parts, but they are not a big problem even though the cat is big and long-haired, the wife is thin and long-haired :) It takes just a few minutes and is very easy. ... Back then it was the only one capable of dumping the dirty (and smelly) water and filling the tank with fresh water automatically. Now other brands (like Roborock) can do that too. The "Fire and forget", almost 0-maintenance factor was quite important for me, being a lazy guy :)"

"rubber anti tangle brush; it's a great design and so easy to clean if I need to (two girls with long hair in the house)"
"The vacuum brush is also tangle resistant as I haven’t had to clean it since March which is when I got it."

"After it is done cleaning it goes to the main station to empty the dust bin (which is very loud)"
"then starts drying the roller mop for hours! ... The drying is mostly quiet (you can still hear it if the room is silent), but from time to time it rotates the mop, which is not that quiet. If you're trying to have a nap and are just falling asleep it is a little annoying."

"Its object recognision and obstacle avoidance is mostly OK, but not perfect. ... I don't know how well it will handle toys lying on the ground. ... And I would definitely not trust it with pet poop. ... I don't want to know what will happen if it is still there when the robot starts cleaning. I guess I will find out sooner or later anyway :)"
"it chews wires more than my roborock, like 2-3 out of 30 days, but I have to save it as it will pause cleaning amd cannot dock."
"Two or three times it pulled an USB cable together with the wall charger and dragged it around the house."

"the S10 is acting a bit funky on the current firmware though."
"The robot started making some ticking noises, like a diesel engine. It still works fine, but makes me wonder for how long!"

AccomplishedLeave506 1.0I've got the switchbot S10. I'm impressed with it. In fact, impressed enough that I just bought another one for the second floor while they have their sale on. 319 quid at the moment. I had some issues with the first one. Their quality control is maybe a bit off and it didn't work. But they immediately replaced it. Took a few weeks because they messed up the shipping and tried to ship from Germany and for some reason couldn't sort the import duties. I refused to pay the duties, even though the said they'd pay me back (I'm sure they would have) so they sent it from Hong Kong instead. So basically, they seem like a decent and honest company that will fix their mistakes. Maybe a little disorganised. I suspect they may be growing quickly so some of their processes are a bit screwy. But even with a faulty device delivered and a wait for a new one I bought a second one so that says something I guess. Their support is good. The devices are excellent. Their processes maybe are a bit disorganised.
amandainpdx 1.0I don't quite think that's accurate. A number of people got the K10+ pro when I recommended it for Prime Day and bothered to post on here how happy they were. As a brand, I really like Switchbot and I don't think it ever gets enough attention. The K10+ Pro and K11 are WAY better than they ought to be w their stats. I've tested both. I don't love the S10 or S20, but those minibots? Magic.
BleskSeklysapgw 1.0I was torn between the S10R and the Z70, but I ended up going for the Z70 because of the robotic arm and honestly the suction power and obstacle avoidance are perfect. My place has a pretty complicated layout, but I never have to worry about it getting stuck anywhere.
burke484 1.0I have the Switchbot S10. In a really really round about way you can get it into HA but it isn't great. As far as the actual unit it does great! I got it open box on Ebay for \~400. However, if I were to do it again and money was no object I would get the dream x40. Vacuum wars on Youtube has been my guide for the past 3 robot vacuums minus this switchbot one.
Dreame X40 Master. I had the switchbot S10 and its light years better.
des_aim 1.0I have the Switchbot S10 and it's been excellent. It has the roller mop and it does a great job. The vacuuming is also very good. I have it hooked up to my kitchen plumbing system so it's pretty convenient. I rarely have to do anything except just run a cleaning cycle at night when going to bed and wake up to a clean house. The app is not bad either. Though it might struggle with high rise rugs
I have the switchbot s10 for about 7 months now...only issue is the obstacle avoidance could be better; other than that, no other issues. It runs smoothly. Also it's cheaper than others with discount code. For the (discounted) price, it's worth it.
DIYnivor 1.0I'm very happy with my switchbot s10. I change the bag once every couple of months. I wouldn't call it silent, but it hasn't annoyed me, and you can adjust the suction power lower to make it quieter if you need to. Never runs into anything.
I have a Switchbot S10, and you can barely tell it mopped (I can feel a little moisture on the floor of I touch it, but I can't really see it). I think yours does a better job mopping.
I still have my Roomba 770 that I bought at a Best Buy in 2012 for $450 🤣. It lives in the basement now, and I go down there every now and then to empty it and blow out the filters. I run a SwitchBot mop/vacuum on the main level now. I don't really need a robot vacuum down in the basement, but as long as it still works that's what I'll use it for. I've replaced the battery pack a couple of times since I bought it, and when this one wears out (or something else stops working) I'll send it off to recycling. At the time I bought it, it was the way to go. But by modern standards it's extremely primitive.
I vacuumed and mopped so little, that robot vacuums make a lot of sense. I still manually vacuum once a month, but my Roomba and Switchbot keep my floors plenty clean for me. I'm not particularly messy though—no pets, no kids, etc.
Flat_Direction1452 1.0Those are quite different machines to be honest. The switchbot S10 wash station I'm pretty sure requires plumbing into a drain and clean water line. Is that even allowed in your apartment? It has a roller style mop which continuously self cleans and puts the dirty water into a separate tank, and also lifts up for going over rugs. But as a result the robot is quite big. The wash station and self empty/charge stations are separate so theres a lot more to store. The roborock is much smaller, both the robot and the station. It's mopping system is completely basic, just a cloth it wets and wipes across the floor. You then have to remove the mop and manually clean it. The mop also can't lift, so to vacuum rugs you must remove the mop attachment. It's a lot less complicated though so theres less to go wrong, but it's also a very new model so nobody is going to be able to speak about reliability. If you care about simplicity and mainly vacuuming the roborock is probably the best choice. The switchbot is a really big machine and requires plumbing. Reliability is a complete toss up pretty much no matter what you choose unfortunately. Robot vacuums are complicated with lots of tiny moving parts which increases the chance of something breaking.
HowToHomeKit 1.0I use the S10 and it’s great overall. I have to give its tanks and roller a clean out once a month, but not having to empty/fill water is amazing. And I managed to install the water dock myself, once I figured out the gaskets which the video demo didn’t mention lol 2 Docks, 1 Bot (SwitchBot S10 Review) https://youtu.be/QYpqLe076Q4
I’ve only tried the SwitchBot S10 and K10 from that list, but I do recommend them both. And they finally just added support for Siri Shortcuts to clean a specific room, which is a MASSIVE quality of life improvement!
IoT-Tinkerer 1.0I use Switchbot S10, has matter built in and you can add it to homekit for basic functions.
Lanky-Zucchini3372 1.0The K10+ doesn’t support Matter directly, only via the Hub 2 which means it shows as an on/off switch. Not as a vacuum. This is important to know! (I have both the K10+ and S10) I *think* the K10+ Pro Combo has a direct Matter update coming. The S10 supports direct Matter, but only 1.3 spec which doesn’t allow you to set a specific room via HomeKit, only choose stop/start and vacuum/vacuum and mop mode. SwitchBot have said a Matter 1.4 update is coming in August for the S10 But let’s see. FWIW I like the performance of the K10+, the S10 is acting a bit funky on the current firmware though.
