SwitchBot S20 vs SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo
Quick take: The SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo costs $40 less; the SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo has stronger suction (20,000 vs 10,000 Pa).
Which one to buy
For $40 more, the S20 is the more complete robot. The S20 costs $360 against the K10+ Pro Combo's $320, and it's the one that mops properly: its station washes the pads with 50°C hot water, scrubs them during the wash and dries them, and the robot lifts its mop on carpet while boosting suction there. The Combo's robot mops with disposable wet wipes and has no carpet detection.
What the Combo offers instead, for less, is a second machine. The Combo pairs its robot with a cordless handheld for stairs, sofas and baseboards, and both empty into one station with a 3L bag rated for about 70 days. Its robot's suction is rated at 20,000 Pa against the S20's 10,000 Pa, and its filtration is rated to capture 99.5% of 0.3-micron particles. Both have obstacle avoidance.
For a home that mixes hardwood and rugs, the S20 is the clear pick. The Combo makes sense only if you were going to buy a cordless handheld anyway and care more about vacuum pickup than about mopping.
SwitchBot S20
The better choice for hardwood and rugs: hot-water mop washing, automatic mop lifting on carpet and obstacle avoidance for $40 more than the Combo.
SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo
Makes sense if you also need a cordless handheld for stairs and furniture and mostly care about vacuuming, not mopping.

SwitchBot S20 vs SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo: common questions
Is the SwitchBot K10+ Pro Combo's 20,000 Pa a reason to pick it over the S20?▾
Mostly no. The higher suction rating helps on carpet, but the S20 at 10,000 Pa still adds hot-water mop washing, mop lifting and carpet detection that the Combo lacks. The Combo is $40 cheaper and includes a handheld, so it is the better value only if you want that handheld.
Can I buy the SwitchBot K10+ Pro robot without the handheld instead of the S20?▾
Not in the US. The K10+ Pro is only sold as this bundle with a cordless handheld sharing one FusionBase station, so if you don't want the handheld you get it anyway, and the S20 remains the better mopper.
