How the revolutionary SwitchBot S10 robot offers 100% hands-free and stress-free floor cleaning

Robot vacuum cleaners and mops all promise to relieve you from the stress of doing chores, but most of them only automate one part of the cleaning process. Yes, you don’t have to vacuum, sweep, or mop the floors yourself, but you still need to actually clean the robot’s parts on your own. Worse, you have to also drain the dirty water from the station’s tank, as if taking out the dustbin wasn’t unsanitary already. Futurists and visionaries would have us imagine a life where these intelligent machines could work with almost no human intervention at all. That might sound like a distant future and a pipe dream, but with the SwitchBot S10’s fully automated operations, that dream has finally become reality, bringing that ideal future to the present.

The world’s first easy-to-install cleaning robot that can refill and drain itself.

Automatically Refills Water & Adds Cleaning Solution – Need to mop the floor but S10 doesn’t have enough water? All it needs to do is take a quick visit to the Water Station to refill.

Self-drains to Prevent Bad Smells – S10 will automatically take all that yucky, mucky water and dispense it through the drainage system built into its Water Station, preventing bad smells from stagnant water.

Robot vacuum cleaners have long graduated from just sucking up dirt to also wiping the floors, but there’s still much to be desired when it comes to effortless and stress-free floor cleaning. It was only recently that these automated machines would clean their own mops, but it still required humans to empty out the tank of dirty water and refill the clean tank for its next use. That’s where the SwitchBot S10’s biggest innovation comes in, removing even that dirty work off your chores list. With one pipe connected to fresh clean water and another connected to your sewage drain, this fully automated floor-cleaning robot can drain the dirty water and refill itself with clean water all on its own.

Get Started in Just 3 Steps – Anyone can install S10 at home, and takes on average just 5 minutes to get going.

Place S10 Anywhere with a Water Supply – The Water Station provided is able to share the water supply of your dishwasher or washing machine through the three-way accessories we provide.

Installing the Water Station is nothing to fret about either. Using the three-way accessory provided by SwitchBot, it can share the water supply of your washing machine or dishwasher. And even if you don’t have these appliances, you use SwitchBot’s special water pipes to easily connect the station to your house’s plumbing system. Even better, this Water Station is powered by the SwitchBot S10 itself, so you don’t have to worry about having a power cable precariously near some water supply.

Powerful Real-Time Self-cleaning – S10 adopts a built-in self-cleaning Roller Mop and separate clean and dirty water tank.

Because the Roller Mop self-cleans in real time, dirt doesn’t stick to the mop and the mop is cleaner after washing.

Deep Self-clean – The water outlet speed will increase 10x and Roller Mop speed will increase by 30%, ensuring that the mop remains in its optimal state at all times.

This self-draining and self-refilling capability is just the tip of the iceberg of what makes the SwitchBot S10 the ultimate cleaning tool. The robot can also clean itself while it’s mopping, spraying its unique Roller Mop with clean water and removing wastewater in real time so that it doesn’t drag dirt and stains across your floor. And, after it has finished its mopping chores, it goes back to the Water Station for a more thorough cleaning, and then get the Roller Mop dried at the Auto-Empty Station to keep it free of bacteria, germs, and mold.

Carpet Friendly – The bottom of S10 is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, and as such, during the mopping process, when it detects carpet, it will lift its Roller Mop by 7mm back inside.

Mop Raising Comparison

Great for Hard Floors – The Roller Mop won’t damage flooring, and it also effectively reduces water stains after mopping, making it an ideal choice for cleaning wooden floors.

Automatically Dries – A drying system at the bottom of the Auto Empty Station automatically dries your S10 roller mop when it’s finished cleaning.

Of course, the SwitchBot S10 is also an excellent vacuum cleaner with a suction force of up to 6500Pa, making it ideal for any type of floor. In fact, the robot can detect the type of floor quickly and accurately so that when it rolls on a carpet, it will raise the mop up to 7mm high to prevent it from making contact with the material. The SwitchBot S10’s Auto-Empty Station is intelligently designed to allow the unhindered passage of pet hair without blocking the channel. You will still have to take out the dust bag by hand, but you only have to do it about every 70 days because of its large 4L capacity.

Despite this abundance of features, the SwitchBot S10 and its team come in a compact and space-efficient design to address the needs of different households. Powered directly by the SwitchBot S10 itself, the Water Station is able to save space and stand only 100mm long and 400mm. Even with the Auto-Emptying Station, which can be placed in a different part of the house, the total space they take up is still significantly smaller than most “All-in-One” robot vacuum cleaners.

The SwitchBot S10 is equipped with so many smart features that it almost makes you feel like royalty sending off a faithful steward to keep your floor spotless. From LIDAR navigation to obstacle avoidance to customizable zones, you can let the robot do all the work without even lifting a finger. And if you get the SwitchBot Humidifier, it can even deliver clean water to that device on its own. With the SwitchBot S10 automated floor cleaning robot and the world’s first plumbing-connected water refill station, you can stop wasting time and energy fussing over your floor and start spending time on the people and activities that matter the most.

Switchbot S10: A Surprisingly Clever Home Robot Cleaner that can even Refill your Humidifier

SwitchBot’s latest release at IFA 2023 isn’t just another entry in the growing market of home automation. The S10 Floor Cleaning Robot robot takes a step forward by integrating features that make it not just autonomous, but also self-reliant.

The S10 joins SwitchBot’s growing roster of home automation systems. While SwitchBot’s most popular products are its most creative ones too (like the autonomous curtain robot or the ‘button pusher’), the company’s cultivated an entire ecosystem of smart-home tech that build on each other’s capabilities. The S10 does so too, with a combination of advanced navigation, cleaning, and even intelligent water management. The smart floor cleaner navigates your home, cleaning each corner, but also automatically refills its water tanks and drains out the dirty water in the process. Once done, the S10 heads back to its charging dock where it auto-dries its mop head, and if that wasn’t enough, the robot can even refill your humidifier for you. After all, it takes more than a clean floor to make a house feel comfortable!

Flagship-level Cleaning Robot with 6500Pa High Suction

The S10 follows SwitchBot’s company ethos of ‘delegating physical tasks to robots’ by being an expert floor cleaner that also auto-maintains itself after every cleaning cycle. 6500Pa high suction ensures the S10 grabs every single particle of dust off the floor or even embedded within your carpet. While on the floor, the S10 scrubs, washes, and cleans with its new roller mop system. However, the second it finds itself on a carpet, the S10 stops the water-spray and auto-lifts the mop-head to ensure your carpet doesn’t get wet at all. Meanwhile, it also self-cleans its mop-head 300 times a minute.

Industry-first Auto Water Refill and Drain System

The most eye-catching feature of the S10 is undoubtedly its auto water refill and drain system. While robotic vacuums have been around for a while, the S10 takes it a step further. It’s capable of autonomously refilling its water tank when needed and draining it after use. This is accomplished through a connection to existing plumbing in your home—be it in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room.

The real advantage here is the convenience and time-saving aspect. Imagine not having to interrupt your day to refill or empty a water tank. The S10 essentially takes the manual labor out of floor cleaning, allowing you to focus on your day-to-day activities without any disruptions.

Charging Dock with Spacious 4L Dust Tank

Designed to be the place where the S10 goes for a quick pit stop, the charging dock also empties out the S10’s dust tank and dries the mop-head while charging the robot. The highly automated process requires no human intervention as the S10 autonomously makes its way to the dock when it needs to charge or empty its dust tank. The spacious 4-liter dust tank also has you covered for weeks, and requires replacing every 70 days.

The 4L dust tank is accessible from the top of the charging dock

Hey SwitchBot, Fill the Humidifier!

Is a product really a SwitchBot product if it isn’t eliminating human intervention altogether? The company is championing what they call the world of IoRT, or Internet of Robot Things, in an effort to make human life more comfortable. The idea started with a simple button that pushes switches at home and has now blossomed into a floor-cleaning robot that will occasionally even fill the humidifier in your house. Designed to work with the SwitchBot Humidifier 2 (available as a standalone device), the S10 can transport water from the Water Station directly to your humidifier, filling it up so you don’t need to.

Smart Sensors: The Brain Behind the Brawn

The S10 comes equipped with smart LiDAR sensors that are the real workhorses behind its effective cleaning. These sensors map out your living space, detect obstacles, and even adapt to different types of flooring. Whether your home has tile, hardwood, or carpet, the S10 adjusts its cleaning mode accordingly, ensuring smear-free cleaning on floors, and moreover, keeping your carpet pristine and dry. The smart AI also avoids obstacles and ventures away from no-go zones, giving you reliable cleaning based exactly on your requirements.

The SwitchBot S10 is scheduled to release on Kickstarter in October with a $1199.99 price tag. The S10 bot joins SwitchBot’s army of IoRT devices designed to help automate life and leave the chores to robots and the living to humans. An app powers the S10, which lets you set routines, delineate no-go zones, and access other functions/stats. SwitchBot is currently displaying the S10 floor cleaning robot along with other devices at IFA 2023 in Berlin.
