TOKYO, Aug. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SwitchBot, a rising brand in smart home retrofitting and automation, is excited to announce the launch of Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro, which is a brand-new upgrade of its popular Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ with an Anti-Tangle Rubber Brush, advanced Position Sensitive Detector (PSD) sensor and upgraded suction power reaching up to 3000Pa. It now offers greater corner coverage and even greater power, to set a new standard for mini robot vacuums in the industry, and is still the world's smallest robot vacuum.
Unmatched Corner & Edge Cleaning Performance
SwitchBot Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro is engineered to provide exceptional corner and edge cleaning performance. Its mini size enables it to navigate and clean areas other regular vacuums cannot reach. With a diameter of just 24.8 cm, and a height of 9.2 cm, K10+ Pro effortlessly cleans under dining tables, ergonomic chairs, sofas, bookshelves, and even the narrowest of spaces, alongside other low areas. Meanwhile, its upgraded PSD sensor can detect the edges of walls and corners even more accurately, even alongside table and chair legs, which, combined with an edge brush speed of 200 reps/min, enables K10+ Pro to clean in an even more powerful way.
Comprehensive Environment Perception
K10+ Pro features a LiDAR sensor and a PSD sensor, providing a more precise perception of your home environment. This advanced perception system helps the vacuum navigate obstacles more effectively and reduces collisions. Additionally, the sensitive cliff sensor ensures the vacuum detects edges efficiently so that K10+ Pro won't fall off the edges.
Enhanced Noise Reduction with SilenTechâ„¢
K10+ Pro is equipped with SilenTech™ technology, reducing noise to just 45dB during silent cleaning mode—quieter than a library. Its comprehensive environment perception system allows it to navigate furniture flexibly, minimizing collisions and creating a naturally even quieter cleaning environment. The Do Not Disturb mode further enhances user comfort by preventing cleaning disturbances during work hours.
Comprehensive Cleaning with Low Maintenance
Equipped with the latest SLAM intelligent navigation, SwitchBot Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro dynamically plans cleaning paths with up to 3000Pa suction power and cleans for up to 150 minutes on a single charge. K10+ Pro also features a unique four-stage cleaning method to consolidate dust and hair together first, raise the dust and hair up from the floors and carpets, vacuum all the dust and hair floating in the air, and then collect everything into its dust box.
Despite its compact size, K10+ Pro comes with a mini base station that features a large 4L dust bag, allowing users to dispose of trash only once every 90 days. This convenience, combined with its powerful suction and long-lasting battery, makes K10+ Pro a top choice for maintaining a clean home effortlessly.
Small Size Yet Flagship Features
Used with SwitchBot Hub 2 or Hub Mini Matter Enabled, K10+ Pro supports Matter and integrates seamlessly with SwitchBot Ecosystem. It offers refined carpet cleaning, avoiding long-haired carpets and boosting vacuum power for short-haired carpets. Additional features include updated voice packs, 4-speed cleaning, obstacle clearance up to 20mm, Anti-Drop technology, Find My Vacuum, Remote Control, and Child Lock.
Pricing and Availability
SwitchBot Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro is now available on SwitchBot Amazon US/UK/CA/DE/FR/IT/ES and SwitchBot's Official Website Store, starting from $419.99/£419.99/€419.99 (MSRP $599.99 / £599.99 / €599.99).

SwitchBot Introduces Mini Robot Vacuum K10+ Pro for Ultimate Corner and Edge Cleaning Experience
TeamViewer research highlights the need for seamless technology connectivity to drive financial, operational, and cybersecurity performance
ADELAIDE, Australia, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- New research shows that 33% of global businesses with excellent technology connectivity said their financial performance was among the leaders in their industry. Just 16% of businesses with good connectivity said the same. In addition, 56% of Asia-Pacific (APAC) businesses said that excellent technology connectivity gave them a competitive edge. TeamViewer, a leading global provider of remote connectivity and workplace digitalisation solutions, undertook global research conducted by FT Longitude to uncover 'The Real Value of Technology Connectivity'.
Globally, 34% of businesses with excellent connectivity said their operational performance was on par with industry leaders but only 19% with good connectivity said this was the case. Seamless connectivity, the extent to which staff can operate and connect without interruptions, and what all businesses should be aiming for, also increases resilience and supports risk management. In particular, better connectivity helps organisations to withstand the growing threat of cyberattacks. 36% of APAC businesses with excellent connectivity, which are organisations one step below achieving seamless connectivity, were among the leaders in their sector for cybersecurity performance.
"It's clear from the research that connectivity isn't just about driving workforce productivity and efficiencies. The approach of shifting connectivity from a supporting role and cost centre to one that empowers the business has an impact on growth, and ultimately revenue. Fragmented systems blunt competitive advantage so just being good is not good enough when it comes to connectivity. Businesses need seamless integration and harmonization of data to fully realise the opportunities that technologies like augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) bring," said Mei Dent, chief product and technology officer, TeamViewer.
The research found that only one in 20 businesses said their technology was seamless across their organisation. This means that 95% knew they still had some way to go to reach seamless connectivity.
The need to close this gap is clear to APAC organisations:
What is holding organisations back globally?
Globally, organisations with gaps in connectivity (organisations that said they had good connectivity but not excellent or seamless) were more likely to be held back by differences between departments within the organisation (30%) and the inability to show the return-on-investment (ROI) of tech connectivity (27%). Meanwhile, organisations that had excellent connectivity were most likely to be held back by concerns about cybersecurity (24%). So, cybersecurity was both a benefit and a hindrance to better connectivity.
There was also a lack of trust in internal data in almost all organisations. The top reasons undermining trust in data were multiple versions of the truth within the company based on different data sets (38%), conflicting data management practices (32%), and too many instances of poor hardware reliability (31%).
Interestingly this mistrust of internal data varied across company size. It was more likely to be driven by lack of data literacy in smaller organisations. 40% of respondents working for companies generating US$10 million to US$49.99 million in yearly revenue reported a lack of data literacy among employees, compared to 21% of companies generating US$10 billion and above.
A company's ability to connect to any device, application, and system in its infrastructure, and to make use of existing data, has an outsized influence on performance. Whether it is smarter logistics operations or remote technical guidance, access to knowledge from any device, at any time, helps people work smarter and reduces the mistrust that there are multiple versions of truth in data.
Dent continued, "There is a long way to go for companies to achieve seamless connectivity, but the benefits far outweigh the initial investment of time and resources. Doing nothing also has a cost. With many struggling with increased competition and a lack of skilled labour available, organisations need to do all they can to attract and retain the best talent. And one way to do this is to offer a working environment with integrated systems and connectivity that makes it a great place to work and thrive in their careers."
