This model is able to handle cleaning chores on the floor without assistance, including sweeping, mopping and dusting. Its base station is little larger than some rivals and requires 50cm of room either side plus 150cm in front, but for those who have the space it can provide a completely hands-free clean.

Its advanced navigation technology can track the design of your home, storing and utilizing the data in its internal memory, without ever transferring it to the cloud or any other external source.

Overall it's a top-quality robot vacuum and mop, but it's disappointing due to a confusing application.

The SwitchBot S10 is a full-fledged vacuum cleaner and mop robot that offers the best of both worlds to home cleaning. It features an innovative two-station design that permits it to supply water for mopping and also collect dust within the same machine, resulting in complete automated cleaning.

It's equipped with all the usual sensors found on top-of-the-line robot vacuums to create an outline of your home in real time, making sure to avoid obstacles, and also recognizing different kinds of carpets and hard floors.

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 an upgraded suction capacity that goes 3000Pa or more to provide better corner coverage and overall cleaning.
