SwitchBot - K10+ Pro

It's not a bias so much, as that's just what I do. Yes. I would recommend the Switchbot K10+ Pro over and over again.

I recently got the Switchbot K10+ Pro Combo (it was $399 on Amazon, plus a coupon so it ended up being even less) for my upper floor. It’s been fantastic! That floor has 3 carpeted bedrooms, two bathrooms with vinyl floors and a hardwood hallway. The robot is small and can reach the nooks and crannies bigger ones can’t. The Combo also has a nice stick vacuum that works with the same base. It’s great for getting things like stairs that the robot can’t reach. The robot sort of has a mop function but it’s just a plastic plate that you can put a swiffer like pad on and attach to the robot. I’ve completely ignored the mop function, it seems like an afterthought. My household consists of two humans who shed, two dogs, one that likes to eviscerate stuffed toys spreading fluff around, and a cat. I also have psoriasis so I make lots of dust. It’s gross and the reason I wanted a robot. The Combo is new but there are lots of reviews of the K10+ Pro on YouTube. You can still get it without the combo. It was $299 last I checked. This little robot has performed way beyond my expectations. It’s gotten stuck only once when I had adjusted my adjustable bed after it mapped. I created a no go zone around the mechanism under the bed so it doesn’t happen again. Despite my long hair and shedding pets there have been no tangles so for. The mapping and setup were easy and fun. I’ve been thinking of bringing it downstairs to do a second map even though I got the Eufy E28 for the main level which is all hard floors and needs mopping. I really like the E28 but it’s big and can’t fit under my couch or behind my recliner. So it might make sense to bring the Switchbot downstairs now and then to get the hard to reach places.

I just bought two robots, the Switchbot K10+ Pro Combo for my upper floor which is mostly carpet, and the Eufy E28 for the main floor which is all hard floor, mostly LVP. The Switchbot is doing a fantastic job, better than I was able to do with my Henry. No hair tangles at all despite my long hair and shedding son and pets. Henry needs his roller unstuck multiple times cleaning the same space. The K10 did get stuck under my adjustable bed once. I think this was because the bed had been adjusted after the robot mapped the space. I just created a no go area under the bed where the mechanism is. Now I can just tell her to go clean and it gets done. The stick vac is great too. Of course the mopping is a joke but I only need that on the main floor so I was ok with not having a real mop. I’m still not sure about the Eufy. Its side brush has gotten tangled at least once every time I’ve run it (4times in all). The main rollers seem to work well and not get tangled but those side brushes wind everything up. It’s not just hair that gets wrapped around the top of the brush, it seems to spin dust bunnies into thread. So far I haven’t figured out how to remove the brush to get all the wound up hair etc out. I’ve been doing the best I can to unwind it without removing the brush. Other than that it’s doing a pretty good job. Have you tried the Switchbot S10? I almost went with that one but the reviews are rough. Now that I’ve tried the K10 I’m wondering if I should send the Eufy back and get the S10. Do you have advice on this? Thanks in advance!

I’ve had the SwitchBot K10+Pro Combo for a little over a week. I use it to vacuum my upper floor which has 3 carpeted bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with vinyl flooring and a hallway with hardwood. The robot is small compared with others but it is mighty and it can fit in small spaces that bigger robots can’t access. It does have a mopping feature but it’s really just an afterthought, it’s a plastic plate you can attach to the robot that hold a wet wipe, kind of like a swiffer. I don’t use it. The Combo comes with a great little stick vac that charges on the same base as the robot and they both empty into the same bag. The stick is great for getting my stairs as well as cobwebs of my chandelier. The combo is only $399 on Amazon or you can get it without the stick vac for $299. I got the Eufy E28 for my main floor (all hard floors) at the same time. I like both but honestly the SwitchBot has impressed me more. It mapped perfectly, even adjusting when I moved its base station mid clean. It’s only gotten stuck once when I adjusted my adjustable bed after mapping and the bed mechanism dropped a bit so the robot couldn’t go under it. I just made a no go zone around the mechanism and it’s been fine ever since. The Eufy gets hair tangled in the side brushes frequently but the SwitchBot hasn’t had an issue despite my long hair, my son’s shorter hair, my two fluffy dogs and my cat. One of those dogs loves to tear open her stuffed toys and spread fluff all over too. She also likes to roll around in grass clippings and then roll around on the carpet, so this little robot is getting a workout. Here’s a link to the Combo on Amazon, https://a.co/d/ip1nMje

I actually received and set up a Switchbot k10 pro and I'm duper happy. I got it on sale and I don't regret it, my dog's and rabbit's hair is gone! No more balls of fur like tumbleweed rolling around the floors.

The Switchbot K10 is really great for small spaces. It's physically smaller than others, so it gets between furniture and into corners more easily. Performance has been really good on mine. It does have a mop option but it's very basic and not worth using IMO. It has a self empty base, but again a lot smaller that others but still works great and holds 4L.

I have two vacs in HomeKit via Matter at present, the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, and the Ecovacs Deebot X8 Pro Omni. Both offer a reasonable enough experience in Apple Home so far, although for both models, in terms of suction you only get minimum or maximum options - Min/Max for S8, Quick or Deep Clean for the Omni. I believe Switchbot’s models offer all four speeds, although the K10+ Pro didn’t have the relevant update at the time I had it (I gave it away). Of the two, I think the Roborock is better for a few reasons, but the Ecovacs does offer some features that may be more useful in some situations.

I think if you want something that can get into smaller spaces, the K10+ or K10+ Pro are great, and I enjoyed seeing mine getting between chair legs when my old Roborock S6 struggled. That said, its obstacle avoidance is nowhere near as good as the higher end models, and the mopping feature (dragging a wet wipe across a floor essentially) is just not good enough, but is expected for the price. Whether that will improve with their upcoming S20 or K20 I don’t know. I gave the K10+ Pro to my step son, so I won’t see what it’s like if it does get a Matter update.

My absolute favourite budget one would be the switchbot K10, it maps rooms is self emptying into the bag in its base and has been very reliable. So much so that when I move the k10 will live upstairs and we'll be getting an S10 for downstairs to handle mopping duties as well.

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 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.
