If you dread grabbing your mop and bucket when the floor needs a good cleaning, you aren’t alone. Luckily, there are a number of smart home vacuums now on the market that do double duty with mopping capabilities.
Emptying dirty water from a smart vacuum might sound as unappealing as emptying a dust pan, but there are now models that eliminate this hassle, too. Enter the S10 from SwitchBot, which promises to take care of all of your mopping woes.
The S10, a fully automated cleaning robot, was debuted by SwitchBot at IFA 2023 in Berlin. Boasting 6,500pa of suction power and an auto-emptying feature, the vacuum can certainly tackle dirt, dust, and other messes on your floor.
However, this robot also doubles as a mop, and it takes care of its water needs without your help. SwitchBot says the S10 can be adapted to your bathroom, kitchen, or laundry room plumbing within minutes. From there, the robot will automatically refill its water tank as needed and drain it after cleaning.
The Water Station of the S10 has a water inlet pipe that can be connected to any water intake or faucet. In case the Water Station isn’t a seamless fit in your home,
SwitchBot offers retrofit accessories designed to cater to more unique plumbing systems. After the drainage pipe is connected to the drain port, you’re ready to start mopping.
In addition to its auto-refilling, auto-emptying, and auto-draining features, the S10 includes a self-cleaning roller mop. After 70 days, you might need to empty the dust bag of the robot, but that is where the maintenance ends.
The S10 leverages LiDAR technology to navigate your home and tackle any dust bunnies in hiding. With AI, it avoids obstacles as it works, and its gentle bristles are designed to prevent damage to your floors.
