Nice features! I might suggest adding a shutoff valve to the freshwater line (under pressure) at the point of connection when installing....and maybe add an integrated a shutoff valve on future models. This would allow owners to shut off water while away from home, eliminating the risk of a leak which could (if not detected quickly) easily create $$$ of damage. I'm not sure what those water lines (exposed) are made of but to hold 60-80psi 24/365 is a lot. Someone could accidentally snag or pinch a line. Woow....Include a SwtichBot Leak Detector.....and naturally, that's linked to the water shutoff valve.
If I go on vacation, I shut the main valve to the house, not all the shut off valves around the house. I don't see any need for a separate shutoff valve. Besides you connect the water supply of the bot after your sink shutoff valve anyway, so there will definitely be one. Why put a second one...
@@kirov777 Normal people definitely don't do that nor even know where it is. And how about apartments? You're just making it complicated for the average user.
You guys overlooked the fact that not everyone has 1 ½ drainage piping and a lot of us have 1 ¼ drainage. It was a nightmare to find all the adapters reducers gaskets and everything that was needed to Frankenstein something under my sink. And the water stations has always a water mark in front of it where the vaccum connects to the drain port on the water station.... vaccuming it dose an excelent job, mopping..... idk its a hit or miss for me(not getting close to the walls to mop at all, not lifing the roller on a very low profile carpet, or ramp up like it dose on a taller carpet
For the first 3 minutes I thought that was the switchbot S10 LOL. I was like why are you telling me all these bad things about it 😂 almost clicked off the video.... Great video after that! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Also does the lidar keep the unit from falling down steps? How is the sensing of cat toys etc? They all say they avoid them but they seem to just get tangled. Deebot at least tried to untangle it self. Also how about cat or dog pee or poop ? Does it avoid this?
Hi, There’s 2 questions I couldn’t find an answer yet. 1. How close to the wall / baseboards / object dose the S10 clean (mop & vacuum). 2. Can you use the camera as surveillance camera and steer the s10 myself through the house from the app? As this is possible for some competitor models.
My 1st question for any robot vacuum: *Can I replace the battery myself?* My 2nd question: *Can I buy a fresh battery in my country or the very least have it delivered within the European union?* There are many excellent robot vacuums out there with many great features. Cleaning and maintaining it is where the real day to day use shows. And in the long run, after two year of constant use, inevitably the battery will run out and will need replacing. I don't mind replacing spare parts of course. However, I want my new robovacuum to last for more than two years, especially if I were to buy the whole package with one or even two stations, not to mention one with additional plubmbing involved.
Hey SwitchBot! In order to decide whether or not I'll be buying, I'd love to know if we'll get a local API to the robot. I've built my own home automation system and would love to integrate the S10.
How come no one solved the tangled hair on the sides of the brush yet. As a dog owner, that's so annoying and kills the purpose of having a "self-cleaning" robot because you still have to flip it over all the time to remove the tangled hair from the brush or on the sides of it.
Intelligent mapping and pathing is important. Tired of seeing random movements from cheaper models. The videos look good in defined areas. Would love to see a “set up” video in a random home with kids things laying around! Great work so far!
Can the app be configured to tell the S10 to return and empty / clean itself every so often? My other brand has a problem where the bin fills up too fast with dog hair (most often) and then just attempts to vacuum the rest of the time without emptying its limited capacity bin. That means I get poor performance because my dog was shedding and then it just has to be run again all over again.
When using Mopping Mode, the frequency of the machine returning to the Water Station can be controlled by adjusting the water output. If the water output is low (set when the ground is not dirty), the water loss will be slower, thus extending your cleaning cycle.
@@SwitchBotOfficial would love the option to have the robot return to dock and empty the dirt/dust bin as it's a common problem for my home where the pet hair is more than it can contain.
In the video you showed of mapping in the living room, I was surprised that the mop went completely near the legs of the table and chair. Is that the case? The roller does not extend to the side? Was this a manipulated video? Please, explain? TY
My biggest issue with my current robovac is having it get tangled on strings and shoelaces, or getting stuck with one wheel lifted on a pile rug or cat scratcher.
I did ask this during the livestream - does the app support multiple S10s in the same home? They'd be on different floors so wouldn't overlap with each other
Nice video. Very interested! Just a few questions: 1. For a better clean of the roller mop, would you recommend hand cleaning or machine washing? 2. Can you use any cleaning solution for the robot? How, where and when is this solution added? 3. Is the wiper for the mop going to extend the whole length of the mop length, to make sure there are no uncovered areas that can get dirty and spread the dirt? There were a couple of spots left on the carpet at time 33:40. 4. Does the mop spin when the base is doing the drying cycle? 5. How many seperate zones can be mapped? How many no-go zones?
1. Hand cleaning seems to be best. 2. Recommend only using our solution, goes into the Water Station. 3. It will be the whole length. 4. It will rotate every 10 seconds. 5. Separate zones: ≤50, No-go zones: ≤10, No-mop-zones: ≤10 Virtual walls: ≤10. Hope this helps!
What is the maximum map size for a single floor? I have a large single floor home (3900 sq ft) and all of the robots I have ever used have trouble mapping the home without losing orientation at some point and then corrupting the map in the process. Once the map is created successfully, they seem to do fine with scheduled cleaning, but initial mapping has always been an exercise of extreme frustration (17 attempts for one brand, another brand would not work successfully unless it started the map run at a certain time of day). Also, how easy is it to edit out lidar issues like floor to ceiling glass doors that go to an outside patio?
For Dreame L20 Ultra, there is a 199.9cm flat surface clear space requirement to put the robot with its base station. I may have miss this, what is the space requirement for Switchbot S10 water station?
We recommend placing the station on a hard, level surface (such as a floor or ceramic tile) against a wall, ensuring there is at least 1 meter of space in front and above, and 0.5 meter on both sides. Making sure the location has a good Wi-Fi signal to provide a better network connection and app user experience.
Why couldn't you just design it where the dust goes through the drain too? Then we wouldn't need to empty a bag... Your current product still isn't fully automated. Still an amazing product. I'll buy two!
is it possible to set up the washing brush speed, quantity of water used, and speed of the robot (mop slowly means better). Also, does the mop apply pressure on the floor ? Finally would be nice to have choice between different mop brushes, one soft, and one with some harder bristles to scrub dried stains on less fragile floors.
Mattew said the campaign will launch on Kickstarter on 16th October. They have put the Kickstarter link on the description and I have followed their campaign to make sure I will get the super early bird ASAP. LOL.
Few questions 1. Can we add the floor cleaning liquid of our own to the container for better cleaning instead of the one that you showed? 2. How good it is at mopping corners? Is there a zoomed-in view of this? Usually, circular robots leave that area. 3. What is the smallest size of the no-go zone? 4. How can we wash the roller mop manually, can we put that unit in water and let it dry? What is the cost of an additional roller mop?
@@SwitchBotOfficial sorry to contradict you but it looks Like a cheap obstacle avoidance not to Say there is Any. Here is an exemple of thr different technologies for obstacle avoidance for Roborock's, and your model seems to have the same system as the old roborock S6 or normal S7, which were lanched Many years ago, and don't avoid anything appart from walls : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cgSLuEP41w0.htmlsi=4mQ9zurjwLHDedBK
@@rdy4trvl it was more of a general comment. These smart devices have come a long way but they still have a ways to go. I live in Switzerland, and we cannot simply play with the water supply / tubes, especially if you are renting and not a home owner, so that obliges me to pass on such products. And most of the time, the water tank/supply are in a room which is not going to have to be mopped or worse is in a basement / “water” room (separate from the living area) so it’s really not practical. It is more efficient to clean a base station and change the water tank of the other product, than install this and risk a water leak or 😅 Which is a shame I just feel these products solve one specific use case and therefore should not be bashing other companies who solve multiple other real life use cases
