Imagine a morning where, instead of running around everywhere, you ask your robot to bring you coffee in bed, check that everything is fine in the little one’s room, and vacuum the breakfast crumbs, all without lifting a finger. No, this is not a dream or an excerpt from a science fiction movie: it’s the promise of the SwitchBot K20+ Pro, the new arrival that is shaking up our perception of the connected home.
A vacuum robot? Yes, but not just that!
The K20+ Pro, launched with great fanfare at CES 2025, does not just clean your floors. That would be too simple. With its FusionPlatform modular system, it transforms into a true multifunctional home assistant. You can ask it to carry a bottle of water, a meal tray, or even monitor your home while you are away. A wheeled tray, called FusionPlatform, allows you to place up to 8 kg of items on it, which the robot then delivers wherever you want in the house. Convenient to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth trips (and to impress your friends during an impromptu gathering)!
Precision navigation and embedded intelligence
On the navigation side, SwitchBot did not cut corners. The K20+ Pro is equipped with D-ToF Lidar technology, combined with dual front and side laser detection. The result: an ultra-precise mapping of your interior, with smooth movements, even in the tightest corners. It knows how to avoid obstacles, cross door thresholds, and navigate with centimeter precision. Goodbye to robots that get stuck under the couch or forget to clean behind the door!
Unusual uses
What really makes a difference is the modularity of the K20+ Pro. Thanks to the FusionPlatform and ClawLock system, you can add various modules: Pan & Tilt surveillance camera (2K or 3K), mobile air purifier, fan, holder for tablet or smartphone, or even a small stick vacuum for deep cleaning. Imagine: while you work, the robot transports the children's snack to the living room, then switches to monitoring mode to ensure the cat isn't misbehaving, before purifying the air in the parent’s bedroom. Multitasking is its forte!
A true assistant for the whole family
The K20+ Pro is not just for geeks or smart home fans. It is designed to simplify life for the whole family. Elderly individuals can receive their medications or a glass of water without having to move. Children can have fun asking it to bring them a toy in their room. And for pet owners, it can even carry the dog’s bowl or monitor the movements of the cat. We are not far from a robot butler!
An open platform for tinkerers and makers
SwitchBot had the good idea to open its FusionPlatform to tinkerers. Three power ports are available to connect third-party accessories, and it is possible to integrate 3D printed parts. Do you dream of a robot that brings the keys to the entrance or operates a connected scent diffuser? Feel free to create your own module! We bet the community will quickly embrace this feature to invent uses that no one has thought of yet (the famous snowball effect of makers)!
Advanced home automation integration
The K20+ Pro integrates perfectly with the SwitchBot ecosystem, but also with the most popular voice assistants: Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri. You can create automated routines, such as triggering air purification as soon as you enter a room, or asking the robot to tour the house to check that everything is in order. Remote control via the SwitchBot app allows you to keep an eye on the house, even when you are on vacation. A real plus for connected families!
Cleaning performance at its best
Let’s not forget the primary function of the K20+ Pro: vacuuming the house. It features TwinFlow technology for powerful suction (the previous models already had 20,000 Pa, enough to swallow crumbs, pet hair, and dust in a blink). Four cleaning modes are available, from quick pass to deep cleaning. The robot automatically manages its return to base for recharging, and it can switch between rooms without getting lost. Allergy sufferers will appreciate the ability to add a mobile air purifier, which follows the robot from room to room to neutralize pollen and fine particles.
Concrete and clever use scenarios
Imagine an evening where you are comfortably seated in front of your favorite series. No need to get up to get a drink: a quick message to your K20+ Pro, and it brings you your favorite soda. Or, during a video meeting in your office upstairs, the robot discreetly delivers a snack without interrupting your flow. Families with children can program the robot to make the surveillance round during nap time, or to bring the forgotten stuffed animal to the room. The possibilities are almost endless, and you find yourself imagining new uses each day!
An evolving solution focused on the future
The K20+ Pro is not static. Its modular design and openness to the SwitchBot ecosystem (and DIY) make it a sustainable investment. New modules will enhance its capabilities, and software updates promise to regularly bring new features. You can sense that SwitchBot aimed to create a robot that grows with the needs of the home, and not the other way around. A true stroke of genius for smart home enthusiasts!
A resourceful robot
The SwitchBot K20+ Pro is somewhat the Swiss army knife of the connected home. It vacuums, transports, monitors, purifies, and adapts to your desires thanks to its evolving platform. Gone are the days when the robot vacuum just spun in circles under the coffee table! With the K20+ Pro, SwitchBot redefines uses and opens the door to a new generation of domestic assistants, smarter, more useful, and above all, more fun. We can’t wait to see what users and the community will invent with this little technological gem. I hope to receive mine soon to test all this out! If you’re tempted, the SwitchBot K20+ Pro is available for order right now on the official site, at the price of €599. Different packs are available depending on the accessories you wish to have.
