Key Features
Auto-Fill, Auto-Drain
The base station hooks into your plumbing, so it refills the clean-water tank and dumps dirty water without you ever touching it.
Self-Washing Mop Roller
The rotating mop head washes itself mid-job, which is the part most robot mops still get wrong.
LiDAR Navigation
Maps each room cleanly the first time, so you can set no-go zones around pet bowls and rug corners.
App + Matter Support
Schedules cleans, runs zone cleaning, and now works with Matter-enabled smart homes alongside the SwitchBot Hub.

- Quiet enough to run while we worked
- App is responsive and easy to schedule
Worth Knowing
- Plumbing install adds an hour to setup

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to hook it into my plumbing?
Not strictly. SwitchBot also sells a freestanding water station accessory if drilling into a pipe is not an option, though the auto-refill and auto-drain are the whole point.
Will it climb over a rug?
Yes, low-pile rugs are fine. For deeper rugs you can set them as no-mop zones so it only vacuums them.
Is it loud?
In quiet mode it sits around 55 dB, which is about the same as background conversation.
The 30-Second Rundown
Final Verdict
If you actually want robot mopping to replace the chore, not just simulate it, the S10 is the closest design we’ve seen on paper. The plumbing tap-in is the difference maker, and once it is installed you stop thinking about your floors.
