Smaller robot vacuums can often lack the suction power needed to clean tougher flooring surfaces, but SwitchBot says its new K10 Plus, which launched in November 2023, offers the best of both worlds. It’s considerably more compact than the competition, with the company calling it the world’s smallest robot vacuum. As a result, it can reach places that larger units can’t get to. However, its 2500Pa of suction puts it on par with many larger devices.

SwitchBot claims a 90% increase in coverage, thanks to the robot’s smaller size. However, it doesn’t skimp on features, with the AI mapping and LiDAR navigation offered on SwitchBot’s larger vacuums also offered on the K10 Plus. Meanwhile, the freshly launched support for the Matter standard offers better integration into a smart home ecosystem.

Alongside its vacuuming function, the K10 Plus can also double as a mop, although there are some limitations here. While the best dual-use robot vacuum/mops can clean their own pads automatically, the K10 Plus uses disposable pads that will have to be replaced every time they get dirty. That said, many of those more capable rivals cost significantly more than the K10 Plus — and are considerably bulkier to boot.
