You expect a lifetime for a robot combined and glue a vacuum cleaner – then two come at the same time.
Hot on the heels of the liberation of the 3-in-1 of Eufy, a vacuum of the combined robot, a stick of stick and a pocket computer, Switchbot launched a model with similar advantages.
The K10 + PRO combo combines the smallest vacuum in the world's robot (K10 + Switchbot, which we examined) with a light wireless vacuum. Both stuck and take charge together in an automatic base station, which means that there is no need for manual emptying.

But there are large differences between the Switchbot and the EUFY model.
EUFY E20 is a transformer that uses a single filter for the three modes. Take it out of the robot vacuum cleaner and the filter becomes the body of the void when it is in stick and portable mode.
Eufy
Meanwhile, the Switchbot K10 + Pro combo simply uses a shared platform to load and empty both the robot and the empty of the stick.
The K10 + PRO combo has an advantage over the EUFY E20. There is no transformation necessary to use it in one mode or another. The EUFY E20 has a related limitation: you cannot use the robot and the void at the same time.
With the Switchbot model, you can simply lift the wireless vacuum directly from the support and use it – even when the robot vacuum cleaner is at work.
There is also a space problem. Like the floor head and the wand of the EUFY E20 are not stored in the load base, the quay will take less vertical space. But you will always have to find space to store the wand and the floor head separately.
Eufy
And there is one thing that it seems that none of the two devices can do – and that is the mop, which means that you will always have to keep the cleaning equipment by hand.
There is another compromise if you buy one. It is on the quality of the robot and the empty of the stick; The flagship level either, and these combined devices are quite expensive.
Is this technology two in one is something that people really want, or is it just a way to create a difference in a crowded market? As Dr. Ian Malcolm says in Jurassic Park: “Your scientists were so concerned about the fact that they could or not, they did not stop to think if they should.” Well, it's something like that, but with people in marketing departments rather than scientists and vacuum cleaners instead of dinosaurs.
You can read our EUFY E20 review to find out more. But if your heart is set to a combined model, we think that, on paper at least, the functionalities of the Switchbot K10 + Pro combo have beaten it. We will revise it shortly to tell you what is in day -to -day use, but here are its specifications:
- 20,000 PA aspiration (it's a vacuum – the robot has only 2,500 PA suction)
- Light: the vacuum is 1.17 kg and the robot 2.3 kg
- The platform can last up to 70 days of dust
- 5 -level filtration system
- V-shaped anti-ganglions brush on the vacuum cleaner and rubber brush on the robot
- Silentech for noise minimization
- Application controls
- Alexa and compatible in matters of material
- Headlights on the stick of the stick
Price and availability
The Switchbot K10 + Pro combo is at the price of £ 799.99, which, in our view, is quite high, but if you buy it on Amazon right now, you can claim £ 160 on this price to bring it back to 639 , £ 99. It is much more reasonable, but with Amazon currently selling the K10 + robot vacuum cleaner for only £ 219.99, you could be better expected than the price drops more after launch.
In the United States, it is a price of $ 799.99, but there is a similar agreement on Amazon. You can check a box on the page to claim $ 200 reduction, which reduces the price to $ 599.99.
Meanwhile, the EUFY E20 is available online on Amazon and Eufy itself in the United Kingdom. It is at the price of £ 549. American buyers can also find it on Amazon and Eufy in the United States, where it costs $ 549.99.
