Sorry for the confusion, I wasn’t referring to its original price tag, I meant its about £600 cheaper than equivalents from Roborock for example

I backed this on KS and have had this for close to 3 months and is truly a hands-off system. The rollermop gets the floor much, much cleaner then the vibrating pad system and or the spinning pads of filth, had both and sold those. This is my system of choice and with switchbots ongoing and continuous support/upgrading this cant be beat IMHO. I have honestly set it and forget it and it just keep going, cleaning and going.... Great vlog as usual, thanks!

@lrrrruleroftheplanetomicro6881 I indeed using it on my tile floors and having the same good results. Is it the best, no but a marked step above what is out on the market now. They need to design a roller with soft bristles on it to get hard surfaces like tile, to give it a better scrub, time will tell

I reacted the same way to the mop not getting to the edge at first, but after running it now, I realized that I don't really walk to the edges of my room, so it wasn't an issue. Just my experience. Other than that, it works great. We did have a couple of minor headaches setting up initially. The software preferred i-phone, and would not connect to our wifi through android (they may have corrected this issue). We got around this by using an i-phone, connecting it, then going back to the android app. The instructions for the water station (not connected to water mains right now) didn't specify using a seal at the connections, and we had a small leak. After adding the seal, no more issues. The light grey and dark grey hoses can kink, so be careful when securing them. Ours kinked, and would not refill water. Took us a minute to find the issue, because we weren't looking at the hoses. Just be aware of this. All in all, very happy with the job it does. You didn't mention this specifically, but it navigates fabulously through the legs of chairs. Enjoy!

This review is an absolute game-changer! 🎮 I love how you compared the Switchbot S10 to the Narwal Freo X ultra, giving us a real robovac showdown. It's clear that the Switchbot S10 is a force to be reckoned with in 2024!

I’m glad for this review. It’s more than I want to pay for a robot vacuum but at $999 who can argue how well it would clean the holodeck floor after Riker “evacuated his fluids.” I strongly considered this during its crowd-funding phase. Seemed amazing. And while I have some of their stuff I was dubious, in no small part because I couldn’t find much coverage. So it left my mind.

It definitely was a Unix system. IRIX running the fsn file manager.

"How did we get from..." I could launch into a variation of the "tears in the rain" Roy Batty speech but suffice to say one of the advantages of being born around the time they invented dirt is that you have a pretty good idea of how fast technology is moving these days. (To be honest, I actually hope I'm still around when "we don't need roads.") The other thing that perspective does, however, is sometimes put you in that fugue-state where you can't decide whether to plunk down on something that's absolutely amazing or wait for the next iteration which will be even more amazing. (Maybe one that has an actual turd-extraction process?) It's great to see all the innovations. The self-cleaning mop that doesn't drag ketchup all over your floor is a good example. The fill the humidifier function is another. Aside: I laughed at the blonde-haired easily offended guy because he apparently missed a fast inuendo you snuck in just before he got offended at a non-inuendo. Well played. This was a great review of a fantastic product. Thanks for doing it.

I just revisited this video after seeing the Eufy S1 Pro which looks like it's got a similar system but a lot better. Please review the Eufy S1 Pro if you can, it looks very promising. Only issue with it mopping such large spillage like ketchup is that it might end up in the vacuum mechanism like you can see in this video. Probably okay for normal grime and marks but if you have an obvious spillage then best to at least get the bulk of it off manually before sending out these robots.

Appriciate the review. I considered getting this one, however I am concerned about long term usage and safety. Especially where water is involved, you will get limescale. I didn't see a water protection system and the refill station will always be connected to the water mains (and therefore it will have to deal with water pressure all the time). If a valve gets stuck (for example because of limescale), you can easily flood your house.

I’m tempted to delete this comment as it’s full of personal issues presented as if they’re issues with the actual product. For example, I got it to connect to WiFi immediately. There is no technical reason creating a new user account would have solved your problem so seeing as we have no way to know what the original cause was this is not a fair complaint. I suspect you were attempting to do it when the battery was too low, or you were trying to connect it to your 5Ghz network. Secondly the instruction booklet that comes with the robot gives an explanation with pictures as to how to set the water station up, and includes a section describing what to do if the robot doesn’t recognise the water station. Your complaint here isn’t true. As you watched for yourself in my video I filmed it docking to its water station multiple times. I don’t know what “gugs” are, so I can’t help you there. My robot is currently boxed up so I can’t test to see if I can divide rooms but I have a very distinct memory of doing so during testing and I’ve just checked my notes from when I carried out the review where I have written “It has the ability to create multiple maps for multi floor situations, divide rooms, create no go zones and works with Amazon Alexa Siri Shortcuts, and Google home” so this complaint seems to be invention too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@paulhibbertthank you for the reply 🙂. I am a tech guy. I run at home Aqara, homeassitant, Homey pro and switchbot, and philips Hue (sorry), so I am not new to installing products at home, but strangely with this one I had to read blogs on how to get it to connect it right after multiple attempts. I will list all the problems I encountered. 1- I tried connecting with my router TP-Link which gives a signal 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz. The robot was not recognized. I tried to switch off the 5Ghz. The robot was not recognized. I tried from android and iPhone, no success. Then I read on reddit that I was not the only one having this problem and maybe the issue was that the name on the wifi should have any special character. An employee on Switchbot named Matthew_Switchbot wrote: "Heard back from the support team, and this is what info we were given. Wi-Fi names and passwords should not have special characters, and make sure you're checking for spaces before and after when entering." I can send you the link of the thread on reddit if you ask. So I created a Guest Wifi on 2.4Ghz without any special characters on the name. No luck. 2- I had the idea to create a new switchbot account, and magically I could get it to connect without any problem. 3- When I say poor engineering I mean it: I can send you pictures if you need proof. a- Inlet pipe screw: does not turn as is supposed to, in order to screw it, I had to turn the plastic valve connector instead. b- Outlet valve connector: I have never seen a plastic connector missing a hole (in the instructions it says to cut it if the size has to be reduced, not to do it in any case, and in my case I did not need to reduce the size, so if I had not noticed the missing hole the wole water supply inlet would have not worked) c- The water station is so light that the robot moves it along and sometimes does not know anymore his position. 4- The auto mapping is full of "bugs" (that what I mistyped as "gugs"): I had to run the auto mapping multiple times before getting it right. The first time it did not map the bathroom (where I installed the water station), the second time my house was not divied into rooms, so I tried doing it, but it kept saying it was not possible. The third time I could manage to divide the rooms, but the water tank was not recognized (after pressing the bluetooth button as per instructions). So I had to run the mapping 2 more times to finally get it to work. 5- My conclusion: the user experience is not good. I was following this product on Kickstarter, I was super excited so much so that I sold my Roborock s7 MaxV Ultra to get the S10, because I wanted something fully automated. It was to much effort to install, and I am still thinking I will return it. I have never had so much trouble installing a new product beside Homeassitant 😛. Not worth it.
