SwitchBot just launched a household robot that'll be your vacuum, air purifier and security camera in one
When we first laid eyes on the SwitchBot K20+ Pro at CES 2025, my colleague Mike called it "a Transformer" and branded it one of the best smart home gadgets of the entire show.
Why? Well, while there was a lot of robot vacuums on display at CES 2025, none offered the versatility of the K20+ Pro.
Not only can this robot vacuum, well, vacuum, but it can also use a range of additional accessories to transform it into a security camera, air purifier, mobile fan, smart delivery system and more.
And now, the SwitchBot K20+ Pro has launched in both the U.S. and U.K. for $699.99/£599.99 — though of course you'll have to pay extra for accessories.
The SwitchBot K20+ Pro is a robot vacuum capable of a lot more than tidying floors. With a flexible platform, it can be transformed into a mobile sentry, smart delivery system, air purifier, mobile fan and more. While the base model will cost you $699.99, each additional accessory kit will cost you extra.
At its core, the SwitchBot K20+ Pro is a robot vacuum that'll clean a variety of surfaces around your home and even reach those hard-to-access spots. Using 3D obstacle detection and LiDAR, it's programmed to move around your home with ease.
But, what's even more impressive about the K20+ Pro is what it can become.
Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
While the base model will cost you $699.99, you can purchase different kits that'll level up your robovac.
Take the Air Purifier Kit as one example. It'll remove dust, bacteria and pet hair while it navigates from room to room — cleaning up and purifying air as it goes.
Or, you can add the Air Purifier Table on top. Then, you've suddenly got a smart delivery system that'll even bring you tea in bed, carrying up to 8KG/18lbs of weight.
Or the Patrol Kit that turns your K20+ Pro into a mobile sentry kitted out with a high-res camera that'll keep an eye on your home for you, or your pets, issuing alerts when necessary.
Or the Air Flow Kit for a mobile fan that'll activate when the room temperature rises to keep you cool wherever it goes.
There's also the Adjustable Device Stand Kit, where you can mount your tablet onboard to follow you around. That one's not available yet, but SwitchBot says it's "coming soon."
When it comes to the vacuum part of the SwitchBot K20+ Pro, all the technology for sweeping, mopping and vacuuming is underneath. So, an opportunity has been taken to use the flexible platform on top for bonus possibilities.
To do this, the platform is equipped with multiple power ports and an easy-to-adjust bracket for customization. There's a specific point to mount a camera, charge your air purifier, and attach an adjustable display, while power for those is also on board.
When it's equipped exactly how you want it, the K20+ Pro uses DToF (Direct Time of Flight) radar and advanced navigation to create a map of your home and work out the best route to get around. And it uses laser sensors to avoid obstacles as it goes.
All this is operated via voice-control, compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri, as well as the SwitchBot PTC Plus app which the company say can operate the K20+ Pro and feels "like driving an RC car."
I didn't even know I wanted a robot vacuum until now, but the idea of a multitasking robot that'll follow you around and cater to your needs feels like it puts the best robot vacuums on notice.

Commanders' Bobby Wagner joins WNBA ownership group
We're proud to announce that Bobby Wagner is joining the Seattle Storm ownership group!A Super Bowl champion and All-Pro linebacker, @Bwagz will become the first active NFL player to have equity in a WNBA team.📰 Washington Commanders linebacker Bobby Wagner did something this week that no other active NFL player has done: He joined the ownership group for WBNA's Seattle Storm. The only other NFL player to have an ownership stake in a WNBA team is retired quarterback Tom Brady, who has an ownership stake in the Las Vegas Aces. Wagner was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, where he played 10 consecutive seasons. 'Bobby is a hometown hero who has had immeasurable impact on the Seattle community,' said Seattle Storm Co-Owner Lisa Brummel. 'He shares our desire to grow the game and knows the value and importance of investing in women's sports. As we continue to build on the incredible legacy of the Storm franchise, we are excited to add Bobby's experience and expertise to the mix.' 'It's an honor to join the Seattle Storm ownership group and support a franchise that has consistently set the standard in women's professional sports,' said Wagner. 'This is about more than basketball, it's about investing in a legacy of excellence, empowering women, and continuing to elevate the game for future generations.' Wagner says that Kobe Bryant's legacy was an influence in his decision to join the ownership group, continuing to promote women's sports, and Commanders' minority owner Magic Johnson for his mentorship. Now entering his 14th season in the league, Wagner may be on the East Coast, but he's certainly not forgetting his West Coast roots. And to purchase a stake in a women's professional sport to help elevate women's sports is truly inspirational. The interest in the WNBA continues to rise, and with guys like Wagner supporting them, little girls everywhere have role models to look up to and aspire to be like.

Forget T-Mobile and Verizon — Visible's unlimited cell phone plan hits an all-time low cost of $19/month
I thought its Black Friday deal was hard to beat, but Visible brought back its $20/month unlimited cell phone plan deal for a limited time back in June. If you missed out on taking advantage of that, then you're in luck because now you can get it at a lower price. For a limited time, Visible is offering its unlimited cell phone plan at an all-time low cost of $19/month to new customers. That's a savings of 24% off from the usual $25/month rate that the wireless carrier offers year round. In order to get it down to $19/month, you need to apply the code "6OFF12" at checkout. Don't hold off on getting this offer because it'll expire by August 20. Visible: was $25/month now $19/month @ VisibleStop overpaying for your wireless cell phone service because Visible has its unlimited cell phone plan down to its all-time lowest cost at $19/month. On top of unlimited data, talk, and text, you also get unlimited mobile hotspot and international service to Canada and Mexico. If you need the fastest speeds, you can get more of it by upgrading to Visible+ and Visible+ Pro. Use code 6OFF12 at checkout to get this deal. I've been on the base Visible plan for a long while now and I have to say it's been reliable. The $19/month plan does have perks beyond unlimited data, talk, and text. You also get unlimited mobile hotpot to share your data connection with other devices, along with unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada. Although it's all-you-can-eat data, just know that speeds could be temporarily slowed down. If you want the fastest speeds and other additional perks, you can opt to go with Visible+ or Visible+ Pro — which are priced at $29 and $39 per month respectively with this deal. Visible+ does provide you with premium data that doesn't get throttled and also includes smartwatch services, while Visible+ Pro offers faster mobile hotspot speeds, broader international calling, up to 4K video streaming quality, and more. Visible is the reason why I refuse to switch back to a traditional wireless carrier. Not only does it offer one of the best cheap cell phone plans around, it's also proven to be extremely reliable. In fact, I haven't experienced any outages in my two years of being with the carrier — unlike T-Mobile and Verizon. And finally, I really like the flexibility of knowing that my end of the month cost is always the same because it includes taxes and other fees.
