This tiny robot has big cleaning ambitions.

One of a new breed of robot vacuums that incorporates a manual stick vac, the Switchbot K10 Plus Pro Combo launched this week for $799 (with a $200 discount at launch).

An upgrade to the K10 Plus, my pick for the best robot vacuum for small spaces, the Combo adds a stick vacuum that empties into the base station, bumps up the suction power of the robot vacuum to 3,000 PA, and brings better obstacle avoidance.

If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.

<em><i>The stick vac comes with three attachments; they can sit on the top of the base station for storage but aren’t secured to it. </i><span>B</span><span>oth the stick vac and the robot vac auto-empty into the station, which contains a </span>3-liter dust bag.</em>
<em>The stick vac is easy to maneuver as its very light, but the lack of a traditional handle takes a bit of getting used to.</em>
<em>Even with its additions, the Combo has a small footprint, but its height makes it less compact than the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/SwitchBot-Emptying-Hands-Free-Powerful-Anti-Hair-Tangle/dp/B0D7W3N7H6">K10 Plus Pro</a>. </em>
<em>The 3,000 PA suction power is low compared to bigger robo vacs (this <a href="https://www.dreametech.com/products/x50-ultra-robot-vacuum">Dreame X50 Ultra</a> has 20,000 PA). However, its small size and quiet operation make the K10 a good option for home offices and bedrooms.</em>
