I bought the month it was released, and it is the worst I have tried till now. I had an old roborock and was cleaning better and could recognise cables more easily. Every time I leave home I come back finding it entangled or blocked somewhere. The floor is always dirty.
Try moving the base elsewhere. It was another brand but I had an issue with one in the past where no matter what.. It kept getting confused. Moved the base 50cm over to adjecent wall and vac performance in navigation was resolved. 🤷 Perhaps one of these? Other than swallowing usb cables I don't have navigation issues. Cleaning performance I outlined in the video so it's down to expectation...
Hi, great review, SwitchBot suggests using their own cleaning solution but have you found any alternative, after shipping + customs it becomes very expensive.
I had the exact same question. The problem normally is that the brands cleaning agent (other than being crazy expensive and difficult to buy) has left out the foaming ingredient that normal supermarket cleaningsoaps has very much of. So normally you could ruin your expensive gadget because it would generate excessive amounts of foam. Can anyone confirm if you can put regular soap in this? And if not does anyone know of cheap soap that doesn't foam? Also: Could you just empty the dustbin contents in the trash and then reuse it? (again because of price and availability).
@stangtennis the bag would be hard to empty you could rip it open and put a velcro in it. As per mixing solution you are right about the foam. Look at karcher cleaning solutions. They have them for floors and carpets they are insanely good. Pricy but one of the best on the market.
@@notenoughtech Ok thanks for the reply. This is why I'm holding off on a robot. When you no longer can get the bags and/or solutioon you can't use the product. I actually have som of the Kärcher stuff in my cabinet... :) But yeah expensive...
I bought it a few months ago and couldn’t be happier
for sharing your feedback
Looks great, but it looks like mopping is only done in the middle or the areas. Corners and close to wall look like it just won't reach them.
Looks good, thanks Mat.

I don't there is anything special about the floor cleaner they supply. As long as it not abrasive to plastic it should be fine whatever you pick,

Roborock s8 max v ultra is on my list.
I'll check it out
The s10 continually has software issues and customer support at switchbot is almost none existent.
Do not buy
