## What reviewers found

### SwitchBot K11+

- TechRadar: Charming, capable vacuum for cramped homes with fast, accurate navigation and a large dock bag; the wipe mop is not worth using, auto empty is noisy and it hit a shoe and sucked up a cable. TechRadar gave a Performance 3.5/5 subscore but no overall rating. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/switchbot-k11-robot-vacuum-review)
- Tom's Guide: Picked up all kitty litter but struggled with Cheerios; mapping needed about four attempts and the reviewer preferred the cheaper K10+ Pro unless battery life or noise matter most. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/switchbot-k11-robot-vacuum-review)
- Expert Reviews: Near perfect rice pickup on carpet and laminate, but weaker on flour and pet hair; it ran over socks and cables and did not detect a fake dog mess. [Source](https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/home-garden/vacuums-cleaning/switchbot-k11-robot-vacuum-review)

### SwitchBot S10

- Android Authority (AA Recommended): Three weeks of daily vacuuming and mopping three times a week ran hands off when plumbed in. The bot was about an inch too wide for the tester's chair legs and about half an inch too tall for some cabinets. [Source](https://androidauthority.com/switchbot-s10-review-3465509)
- The Hook Up: Called it the second best mopping performance the reviewer had measured, behind the Eufy S1 Pro, but noted weak object detection and navigation and a mop roller that does not lift high enough for high pile carpet. [Source](https://www.thesmarthomehookup.com/products/switchbot-s10/)
