In recent years, the robot vacuum market has become increasingly competitive, with products focusing more on evolution than revolution. But then comes SwitchBot, which, with its K10+ Pro Combo, decides to do things a little differently. Once again, SwitchBot thinks outside the box, offering an ultra-compact robot vacuum, a smart self-emptying base, and, as the cherry on top, a cordless vacuum included in the combo. It may seem like an unusual choice, but it’s actually a great idea since robot vacuums can never clean every spot, and a cordless vacuum is always necessary for manual intervention.
We at NonSoloRobot™️ received the product for testing, and now I’ll share my experience in this review. Keep reading to discover all the details of this fascinating and unique product.
Disclaimer: I received the device for free for review purposes, but I did not receive any compensation or restrictions. The opinions are 100% my own, and this does not affect the review in any way. The goal is to give you a thorough understanding of the product so you can make an informed decision.
Packaging and Design: The Smallest of Them All

I’ve already reviewed the K10+ Pro in the past, and the robot in the combo is almost identical in terms of specifications, but with some differences, such as the position of the charging contacts, which makes it incompatible with the new FusionBase station, and the addition of more advanced D-tof and PSD sensors, which allow it to recognize and avoid obstacles more accurately.
The first thing that stands out is how tiny the K10+ Pro is compared to competitors. With a diameter of 24.8 cm, it is significantly smaller than traditional robots, which are around 34-35 cm. This compactness has a major advantage: the robot can pass through spaces where others might get stuck or give up entirely. If you have a small home with many obstacles, this feature might make you fall in love with it.
The FusionBase, which serves as both a charging and self-emptying station, is taller than the previous version but for a good reason: it manages both the robot and the cordless vacuum, handling both charging and auto-emptying.

The Robot
Despite its compact size, the K10+ Pro doesn’t mess around. It offers a suction power of 3000 Pa and has four modes: Quiet, Standard, Strong, and Max. The 3200 mAh battery allows for effective cleaning of around 100 square meters on a single charge. The mapping is managed by the LIDAR system, which maps the environment with precision. The integration of the D-tof sensors and the PSD sensor helps it avoid obstacles and optimize cleaning paths. Although it’s not on the same level as other robots with cameras and AI, the small K10+ Pro performed well in my home environment, managing to navigate around furniture and larger obstacles with great navigation logic. You’ll be amazed at how it meticulously cleans around tables and chairs or under office or gaming chairs, being the only robot small enough to fit underneath.
The suction power is good, even for those with pets, thanks to the anti-tangle system for both the robot and the vacuum. In case of a lot of dirt and hair, I recommend setting it to Strong or Max mode to make the most of the 3000 Pa power. While the suction is good, the mopping is not the device’s strong point. I wasn’t expecting a water tank and a real cloth in such a small space, but the system with disposable cloths that excludes suction is quite limiting. However, I do appreciate the inclusion of this feature, which could be useful in certain situations.
Considering its size and intended purpose, I can only praise SwitchBot for how well this robot performs and the tight spaces it can reach.
The Extra: The Cordless Vacuum
Here’s the real innovation from SwitchBot: in this combo, in addition to the robot, you also get a 20,000Pa cordless vacuum. This device is perfect for cleaning sofas, corners, carpets, and even your car—reaching areas that the robot can’t. Weighing only 1.17 kg, it is extremely easy to handle. While the 1L dustbin might seem small, the FusionBase allows for quick emptying in just 7 seconds, making it ready to use in no time. The 2200 mAh battery provides a runtime between 10 and 35 minutes, depending on the power setting.
I tested the vacuum on floors with general dirt, and it picked up everything without issues. However, the normal suction setting couldn’t capture larger debris. Fortunately, there’s a button to increase the suction, and in Max mode, I had no problems. Additionally, a front LED helps detect dirt in low-light conditions.
The included accessory kit makes the SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo extremely versatile. It includes:
An electric anti-mite brush for deep cleaning sofas, beds, and upholstery—ideal for allergy sufferers.
A 2-in-1 crevice tool designed for tight spaces, like car seat seams or door gaps.
A 2-in-1 flat head brush, great for pet hair and delicate surfaces, such as mats, lampshades, air vents, and curtains.
A multi-surface floor brush, which adapts to hard floors, carpets, and stairs, and is perfect for cleaning under sofas and beds.
While it won’t replace a Dyson, it’s a fantastic addition for quick cleanups and reaching tricky areas.
The FusionBase
The self-emptying station is one of the most interesting parts of the product. It empties both the robot and the vacuum into the same 3L dust bag, which can last up to 70 days with standard use (depending on home size and pets).
The station is compact (smaller than an A4 sheet in width) and weighs only 6 kg, though it’s important to consider the total height when the vacuum is attached. The emptying process occurs in two steps: first, the vacuum’s debris is emptied into the station, then the vacuum tubes are cleaned to remove any remaining debris. I never found leftover dirt inside.
The emptying process occurs in two stages using a technology called TwinFlow™️, where the base and device fans (applicable to both the robot and the vacuum) are synchronized to effectively clean both the dustbin and all ducts, including the brush. According to SwitchBot, this ensures lower maintenance and better hygiene for the devices. In fact, during this month of daily use, I have never found debris in the containers, not even larger debris.
The SwitchBot App
The SwitchBot app goes far beyond simple device control, offering the ability to create truly smart automations that make home life more convenient and personalized. With this app, you can, for example, schedule the robot to start cleaning at specific times or even have it automatically begin when you leave the house, using motion sensors and geolocation. This means your cleaning routine becomes fully automated, without any manual intervention.
Beyond just scheduling cleanings, the app allows you to customize your entire home environment to suit your needs. You can define rooms, create virtual walls and no-go zones, ensuring that the robot knows exactly where to clean and which areas to avoid, optimizing its cleaning path. You can also adjust the robot and base settings to manage suction power, operating modes, auto-emptying, do-not-disturb mode, automatic cleaning resumption, firmware updates for new features, bug fixes, and improvements.
Once the cleaning cycle is complete, the robot can even interact with other smart devices without requiring any action from you.
Smart Integration and Matter: The Future is Near
Support for Matter, the new smart home standard, is another key strength of the K10+ Pro Combo. But what does Matter integration mean for the K10+ Pro Combo?
The K10+ Pro can be easily integrated with Apple HomeKit, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa without the need for third-party apps or hubs. This means you won’t have to worry about complex setups or additional apps. You’ll be able to control the robot directly from your smartphone or simply with your voice using Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri voice commands.
Additionally, thanks to Matter compatibility, you can create advanced automations. For example, you can set the robot to start cleaning whenever you leave home or configure a sequence where, once the cleaning cycle is complete, the robot communicates with your air purifier to turn on automatically, improving indoor air quality without manual intervention. This is just one example of how a smart home can make daily life much easier.
Another major advantage is a more stable and secure connection. Unlike traditional smart solutions that rely on proprietary cloud services, Matter enables a direct and secure network between compatible devices, reducing the risk of interruptions or privacy concerns. This ensures greater reliability, as your smart devices will communicate with each other more quickly and securely without routing data through third-party servers.
In essence, Matter provides a simpler, more reliable, and more secure home automation experience, with broader compatibility across different platforms, apps, and devices from various brands.
Note: K10+ Pro Combo is compatible with Matter via Hub but now with beta IOS update 18.4, K10+ Pro Combo can be integrated into Matter directly without Hub and can now be controlled directly by the Apple Home App
