SwitchBot’s sci-fi-like robot vacuum/mop is now available to pre-order on Kickstarter for $899.

The SwitchBot S10 hooks into your plumbing to fill and drain its built-in water tank. It can also deliver water to other devices, like SwitchBot’s new humidifier.

The early bird price gets you $300 off the $1,200 robot, but it’s not shipping until March. I saw a demo of the device at IFA 2023 this year and will be testing it shortly.

This robot vacuum mop may solve the problem of dirty docks

Yale Assure Lock 2 review: almost perfect

Yale’s latest smart locks offer something for everyone: Apple Home Key, a fingerprint reader, and compatibility with every platform. You just can’t have it all. (And there’s still no support for Thread or Matter.)
