"I run it once a day, and mop a couple times a week. ... In fact, my wet/dry floor vacuum just died so its pulling even more work right now as it's the only real mop I now have, other than a Swiffer."


"My GOD am I glad I did. I had no idea how much I had been missing! ... We have 2 dogs and a cat, and live more rural. That means dirty paws folks, and a lot of them. The mopping and vacuuming has been no short of amazeballs. Not amazing. Amazeballs."


"The current champ of perfectly sparkling clean floors. ... Have 5 dogs tracking in dirt all day? Run this mop and go eat off the floor. That's how clean it is. ... Step aside spinny & vibration mops, this constantly clean roller mop is the champ. ... The mopping ability is light-years ahead of the Curv. ... The continously cleaning of fresh water is where is truly unique. ... You will be delighted and shocked on how amazing this E28 is. Its truly incomparable to any roborock. Get ready to start eating off your floors 😁😉"

"I run the X10 daily on schedules, and it has never been stuck even for once, isnt that amazing? The navigation and obstacle avoidance is truly amazing. It is almost a true set and go experience."


"It also doesn’t bump into stuff, slows down and turns around before running into anything. I am impressed. ... The navigation is night and day between this and J9+, no more bumping or getting lost. ... I think it’s better, it has the front facing camera which looks to be higher resolution, plus the LiDAR does make a huge difference to the speed of navigation, plus it doesn’t bump into furniture or doors anymore."


"The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."

"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."


"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."


"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"

"The Anti-Tangle brush is actually Anti-Tangle. All my previous vacuums would get hair tangled in a single run - I'd clean them at least once a week (neato way more) to get all the hair out. After 24 hours, I see 0 hair stuck. Not one. ... That being said I LOVE the anti-tangle brush. 3 Months and I haven't had to clean the brush one time. It's literally perfect for me."


"I think the MOVA Z50 Ultra is best for those who have long hair or pets that shed and value mopping as much as vacuuming. ... People with long hair will enjoy how it wont tangle in the robot’s main brush"


"One huge leg up for a Shark over Roomba is that the brush roller is similar to a vacuum (e.g. hard plastic), whereas the roomba is a plastic roller with a rubber cover that is DESTROYED by dog fur and you have to frequently replace."

"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 it leaks. Consistently. It sometimes even manages to flood things."


"it seems to be failing on me entirely after only two years of ownership."


"at least half of its fails are because it gets stuck trying to get on its own docking station (which is in an easy to reach and clear spot) to charge. ... I've sat there and watched it back up, go back forward, miss, back up, spin around, miss again. It literally does this until it either manages to get itself stuck on the dock, or just runs its power down."

"just be warned it's a jet engine when it empties."


"e25 didn’t dry its mop aswell either, leaving behind a stench."


"the drying of the mop in the Eufy is much louder ... I need to schedule my cleaning so that the drying (3 hours) is over when I arrive home, otherwise there is this constant quite loud humming of the fan"

"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."


"The navigation is worse than both the Roborock and a cheap knock off machine I bought years ago."

"And it leaks. Consistently. It sometimes even manages to flood things."


"Biggest issue I had with the tarptent was that the weatherproofing/seam sealing started to fail."


"Both of my Coleman Instant tents have holes in the floor after just 2 uses. Both of them leaked water in a moderate storm. ... The Coleman Instant Tent has a known issue with leaks so they sell an additional aftermarket rainfly. ... I have the rainfly. Doesn't even cover the windows.... The windows fill up with water and then the water started dripping right off the keeper for the windows screen...."

I'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.

It's upside over the switchbot (which I own) is the spinning mop pads. The switchbot just drags a wet wipe around the floor.

I 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.

I 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.

Switchbot S10. Plumbed into the water and waste line. Pretty kick butt for ~$700.

I 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.

In my experience, over a few months, it doesn’t mop or vacuum very well. The roller mop bounces and is not consistent. The vacuum leaves springs of hair around the floor for us to pick up, rather then vacuum. Its experienced errors, which SwitchBot repaired and sent back with more issues then when it was sent. They agreed something happened during repair and offered a full refund. I will not buy another one and will stick with our iRobot s9. Gets stuck a lot but it vacuums really well

I 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.

Yeah those swiffer pad junk was garbage. Switchbot didn't do too well with the roller in my testing video. Oddly the Eufy S1 besides a battery failure has been doing well in my tests. Crazy it can pick up dried muddy foot prints.

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.

I'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 bought the SwitchBot S10 because it has the same roller mop as the S1 Pro (a review from The Hookup on YouTube showed it also has the same mopping performance) but has a separate base for emptying/re-filling water that pipes into the plumbing. It docks automatically to that base when it’s time to empty the dirty water and refill fresh water and does it all itself. I’ve had it for a week now and it is amazing. Never touching the water ever is a game changer. Anyone looking at the S1 Pro should also be seriously considering the SwitchBot S10.

Bought it almost exactly 6 months ago and still love it. In fact it's mopping/vacuuming right next to me as I type this and I have zero regrets - would definitely buy it again. The second base for the water fill/discharge is an absolute game changer and I haven't had to fiddle with the water at all, ever. In fact, I've only emptied the main base's trash bag once in the 6 months I've owned this (it's a big size). It's received a few software updates since I bought it that made its AI object detection a bit better and added new features to the app, so it's constantly getting better. The only downside is that SwitchBot's customer support sucks donkey balls. About 4 months ago the roller mop stopped getting wet so I contacted their customer support through the app, who took about 4 days to respond and simply say, "Send it in to us so we can fix it." Luckily there was a firmware update that came in 2 days earlier that fixed it so it became a non-issue. But I'd buy it again despite the awful customer support because I'm lazy and it's the most hands-off full-clean solution I've found - and works really, really well.
