Robot vacuum cleaners and mops all promise to relieve you from the stress of doing chores, but most of them only automate one part of the cleaning process. Yes, you don’t have to vacuum, sweep, or mop the floors yourself, but you still need to actually clean the robot’s parts on your own. Worse, you have to also drain the dirty water from the station’s tank, as if taking out the dustbin wasn’t unsanitary already. Futurists and visionaries would have us imagine a life where these intelligent machines could work with almost no human intervention at all. That might sound like a distant future and a pipe dream, but with the SwitchBot S10’s fully automated operations, that dream has finally become reality, bringing that ideal future to the present.

The world’s first easy-to-install cleaning robot that can refill and drain itself.

Automatically Refills Water & Adds Cleaning Solution – Need to mop the floor but S10 doesn’t have enough water? All it needs to do is take a quick visit to the Water Station to refill.

Self-drains to Prevent Bad Smells – S10 will automatically take all that yucky, mucky water and dispense it through the drainage system built into its Water Station, preventing bad smells from stagnant water.

Robot vacuum cleaners have long graduated from just sucking up dirt to also wiping the floors, but there’s still much to be desired when it comes to effortless and stress-free floor cleaning. It was only recently that these automated machines would clean their own mops, but it still required humans to empty out the tank of dirty water and refill the clean tank for its next use. That’s where the SwitchBot S10’s biggest innovation comes in, removing even that dirty work off your chores list. With one pipe connected to fresh clean water and another connected to your sewage drain, this fully automated floor-cleaning robot can drain the dirty water and refill itself with clean water all on its own.

Get Started in Just 3 Steps – Anyone can install S10 at home, and takes on average just 5 minutes to get going.

Place S10 Anywhere with a Water Supply – The Water Station provided is able to share the water supply of your dishwasher or washing machine through the three-way accessories we provide.

Installing the Water Station is nothing to fret about either. Using the three-way accessory provided by SwitchBot, it can share the water supply of your washing machine or dishwasher. And even if you don’t have these appliances, you use SwitchBot’s special water pipes to easily connect the station to your house’s plumbing system. Even better, this Water Station is powered by the SwitchBot S10 itself, so you don’t have to worry about having a power cable precariously near some water supply.

Powerful Real-Time Self-cleaning – S10 adopts a built-in self-cleaning Roller Mop and separate clean and dirty water tank.

Because the Roller Mop self-cleans in real time, dirt doesn’t stick to the mop and the mop is cleaner after washing.

Deep Self-clean – The water outlet speed will increase 10x and Roller Mop speed will increase by 30%, ensuring that the mop remains in its optimal state at all times.

This self-draining and self-refilling capability is just the tip of the iceberg of what makes the SwitchBot S10 the ultimate cleaning tool. The robot can also clean itself while it’s mopping, spraying its unique Roller Mop with clean water and removing wastewater in real time so that it doesn’t drag dirt and stains across your floor. And, after it has finished its mopping chores, it goes back to the Water Station for a more thorough cleaning, and then get the Roller Mop dried at the Auto-Empty Station to keep it free of bacteria, germs, and mold.

Carpet Friendly – The bottom of S10 is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor, and as such, during the mopping process, when it detects carpet, it will lift its Roller Mop by 7mm back inside.

Mop Raising Comparison

Great for Hard Floors – The Roller Mop won’t damage flooring, and it also effectively reduces water stains after mopping, making it an ideal choice for cleaning wooden floors.

Automatically Dries – A drying system at the bottom of the Auto Empty Station automatically dries your S10 roller mop when it’s finished cleaning.

Of course, the SwitchBot S10 is also an excellent vacuum cleaner with a suction force of up to 6500Pa, making it ideal for any type of floor. In fact, the robot can detect the type of floor quickly and accurately so that when it rolls on a carpet, it will raise the mop up to 7mm high to prevent it from making contact with the material. The SwitchBot S10’s Auto-Empty Station is intelligently designed to allow the unhindered passage of pet hair without blocking the channel. You will still have to take out the dust bag by hand, but you only have to do it about every 70 days because of its large 4L capacity.

Despite this abundance of features, the SwitchBot S10 and its team come in a compact and space-efficient design to address the needs of different households. Powered directly by the SwitchBot S10 itself, the Water Station is able to save space and stand only 100mm long and 400mm. Even with the Auto-Emptying Station, which can be placed in a different part of the house, the total space they take up is still significantly smaller than most “All-in-One” robot vacuum cleaners.

The SwitchBot S10 is equipped with so many smart features that it almost makes you feel like royalty sending off a faithful steward to keep your floor spotless. From LIDAR navigation to obstacle avoidance to customizable zones, you can let the robot do all the work without even lifting a finger. And if you get the SwitchBot Humidifier, it can even deliver clean water to that device on its own. With the SwitchBot S10 automated floor cleaning robot and the world’s first plumbing-connected water refill station, you can stop wasting time and energy fussing over your floor and start spending time on the people and activities that matter the most.

I know it doesn’t feel like it yet, but we’re just two months away from two major events – the Winter, and Christmas… both of which cause a severe drain on your city’s power grid. If you’re anywhere near where I live, power outages are pretty much a given because everyone’s got their thermostats on blast and Christmas lights on maximum brightness. Luckily, the folks at BLUETTI have a solution to those massive power bills and long power cuts. We’ve raved about BLUETTI’s power stations, generators, and solar panels for a while now – they’re effective, easy to install, and can power anything from a campsite to an RV to an entire home. The power stations are scalable, modular, and can charge everything around you from your phone to your EV… so whether you’re an avid camper, or you live in an area prone to power cuts or natural disasters like hurricanes or forest fires, or even if you’re looking to double down on renewable solar energy instead of depending on your city’s power grid, BLUETTI’s range of products definitely deserves a place on your wishlist. Plus, with their Prime Day Discounts, you might as well add them to your cart!

AC180 (Most User-Friendly)

A compact yet formidable power station, the AC180 is perfect for on-the-go energy. With a formidable 1,800W AC output, stretching up to 2,700W in Power Lifting Mode, this power station is engineered to meet diverse electricity demands. The entire power station is about the size of a jerry can and comes with a handle that makes it easy to carry around anywhere to different parts of the house or even to your backyard or a campsite. The AC180’s 11 different output ports let you hook anything from your phone to a mini-fridge to it, while the 1,152Wh capacity lets it take care of all indoor and outdoor needs. Charge it up via AC, solar, generator, or even your car, and monitor its performance on the BLUETTI App. The AC180 comes with a 5-year warranty, while its EV-grade LiFePO4 batteries have a guaranteed 10-year lifespan.

AC200MAX+PV350 (Editor’s Choice)

If you’re looking for more of a punch, the AC200MAX is capable of handling much more, outputting 2200W AC with up to 4800W in surge. Higher power means being able to juice more (or bigger) appliances at the same time, and the AC200MAX’s 2,048Wh battery offers nearly double of the AC180, letting you power your lights for more than 150 hours, or a large air conditioner for up to 4 hours, or even your home refrigerator for up to 10 hours. A hallmark of the AC200, however, is its ability to hook on extra battery packs, or even solar panels like BLUETTI’s PV350 monocrystalline solar panels with a 350W output. The panels are designed to be durable, splash-free, and plug right into the AC200MAX to help you go green. Use them on your roof, with your RV, or at your campsite and the PV350 helps juice the power station in a matter of hours. The AC200MAX can alternatively be hooked to your building’s AC power supply to keep it charged too, but having a combination of AC as well as solar power not only helps you be eco-friendly, it also cuts down on your massive energy bills and keeps you less dependent on the grid.

What We Like

• For its price point, the AC200MAX and PV350 bundle pack an absolute punch. The 2200W output is more than enough to power essential appliances and lights in a home during an outage, or an entire campsite for a long weekend. The solar panels along with it just sweeten the deal.

AC300+B300 (Biggest Discount)

The BLUETTI AC300 & B300 combo is like the Swiss Army Knife of power solutions. Imagine having a mini power plant at home that’s ready to jump into action whether you’re facing a blackout, hosting a backyard movie night, or embarking on a weekend camping trip. This duo is not just about the numbers, although the 3,000W inverter (capable of handling up to 6000W surge) and the 16 different outlets are more than enough to power your home, your appliances, or even your EV. The power station pairs along with BLUETTI’s 3,072Wh capacity B300 battery module, and thanks to its modular design, is expandable to a whopping 12,288Wh by allowing you to connect as many as four B300 battery packs. That’s enough for an apartment or even a moderately sized home to run for around a day at full capacity without any external power. The B300’s EV-grade LiFePO4 batteries are rated for durability, lasting as many as 3500+ life cycles, while the BLUETTI app lets you monitor your power station via WiFi, knowing how much power you’re consuming on the daily as well as which appliances are straining your home grid.

What We Like

• The AC300 and B300 duo is by far the most heavy-duty bundle on this list, capable of easily getting you through hours (if not days) of power outages in your small home. Pair it with solar panels and those days turn to weeks, or better still, carry the AC300 to your campsite to literally live off the grid! Grab it now… a $1000 discount is hard to come by.

AC60 (Most Affordable)

Think of the AC60 as a glorified power bank that can charge pretty much all your personal devices from your phone to even your laptop or mini-fridge. Designed for people looking for self-sufficiency, the AC60 is a portable powerhouse with a 600W output that lets you charge multiple gadgets at a time, and an expandable capacity that goes from 403Wh to an impressive 2,015Wh. The entire power station is about the size of a beer cooler, weighs just 20lbs, and is rated IP65 dust and water-resistant. You can turbo-charge it up to 100% within an hour by plugging it into an AC socket, or charge it via solar panels, your car, or a lead acid battery. The AC60 sports LiFePO4 EV-grade battery cells that are designed to last long with minimal impact over its life cycle, and a nifty 6-year warranty on the power station definitely sweetens the deal on this $599 beauty!

EB70S+PV120 (Budget Solar Panel Bundle)

A hundred bucks less than the Apple Watch Ultra 2, the EB70 + PV120 bundle is perhaps the most budget-friendly way to harness solar energy to charge your gadgets. The EB70 power station is your portable partner, with an 800W output and 12 different outlets to choose from (ranging from USB ports to AC sockets to even a wireless charging mat on the top). The 716Wh battery is substantial for a small campsite or a cozy backyard party, but hook the PV120 solar panels in and you’re suddenly equipped for much longer thanks to the 120W output of the panels that juice the EB70 in anywhere between 3-4 hours.

It’s definitely a good thing that more people are yearning for outdoor adventures and experiences, especially those that take them away from the concrete and metal jungles of cities and into the soothing embrace of nature. That said, most of us probably can’t easily detach ourselves from the comforts of modern life, from basic necessities like water and electricity to the conveniences of electronic devices. Fortunately, you don’t really have to give those up, especially with “glamping” becoming the hot new thing in outdoor experiences. There are, of course, many ways to do glamping, but this exciting new package combines a nature retreat with nearly all the amenities of a luxurious hotel and resort stay, promising a unique and memorable experience that brings the best of both worlds together in perfect harmony.

When people hear the word “glamping,” most of them will probably think of large tents that somehow have electricity but are still not too different from typical camping versions. There are, however, more permanent structures available that are almost like houses built in the middle of nature and designed to blend with it. The LULU Glamping experience takes that even further by creating a whole area with private amenities such as a private hot tub and dining area and other outdoor activities, including barbecues, spas, outdoor hot tubs, and more.

The structure of the “tent” is quite unique, employing a geodesic shape that offers better stability against strong winds and heavy rain or snow. It also creates better airflow and is 50% more energy efficient, which is especially important considering it’s running on solar power. It also creates an interesting and eye-catching structure that seems to blend human innovation and natural wonder with a circular shape that’s actually made from straight lines and triangles.

Of course, glamping is more than just putting a roof over your head, and LULU offers what is practically the equivalent of a luxury hotel experience, both inside and outside that dome. The entire property can accommodate up to four people, with separate domes for a luxurious bedroom and a skylit bathroom. More than just electricity, you have access to high-speed Internet, TV streaming, smart home devices, and appliances for serving coffee and drinks. Outside, you have options to relax under clear skies with a cozy hammock or an ambient fire pit or create new experiences by participating in activities like wellness retreats, workshops, or the sights and sounds of Miami-Date County, Florida.

Though there are many adventurous spirits who are willing to brave nature with minimal equipment, the rest of us simply want to enjoy nature without the stress. The young glamping culture is trying to bring people closer to nature by removing their fears and worries about surviving outdoors. LULU Glamping takes that concept to the next level by offering a first-rate hotel experience in the heart of nature, allowing families, couples, friends, and even colleagues to create wonderful memories and stories in every stay.

Japanese architect Shigeru Ban designed the Paper Log House with his non-governmental organization, Voluntary Architects’ Network, which he founded in 1995. The Log House was created as a shelter for victims of natural disasters in response to the Great Hanshin earthquake in Kobe, Japan. The model was also installed in Antalya as a school building after the 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake. It is intended to be easy and quick to construct, and also quite economical. The Pritzker Architecture-prize winning architect has now designed the latest prototype of the Paper Log House for Morocco since it was devastatingly hit by the earthquake on September 8th, 2023.

Designer: Shigeru Ban

The 6.8 magnitude earthquake caused innumerable damage to buildings and claimed over 3000 lives. The prototype is constructed using cardboard tubes, which gives the structure its name. The cardboard tubes function as the columns of the house, and are used to accommodate prefab wood panels. These wood panels form the walls, floor, and roof. The various components are elevated above the ground using a base created from plastic beer crates filled with sandbags. The temporary shelter has been constructed at the National School of Architecture of Marrakech as a symbol of hope, resilience, and support in an extremely difficult time.

Besides providing support through structures and architecture, Shigeru Ban also held a lecture on September 27 where he introduced the Paper Log House and his knowledge and experience in post-disaster support. He also stayed back in Marrakech to visit the affected areas and find potential locations for the Paper Log House.

Shigeru Ban’s humanitarian effort is truly commendable. He is providing valuable support and shelter to victims. In fact, his involvement in disaster relief is spread over three decades, taking into account his work across the globe over the years, from Kobe to L’Aquila, Turkey to Haiti!

Foldable phones are, slowly but surely, becoming a common sight in markets, but these aren’t the only devices that are trying to change the form of computing, figuratively and literally. Their numbers are drastically fewer, but laptops that are all screen and that can fold in half also exist if you know where to look for them. Just like with foldable phones, however, there are big reasons why they aren’t flying off shelves, reasons that don’t seem to matter much to LG. Although it is better known for its TVs and appliances, the company has also dabbled with lightweight laptops under its “Gram” brand. Now it’s expanding that roster with a not-so-lightweight laptop that is pretty much a large screen that can fold in half.

Designer: LG

Just like with foldable phones, the rationale for foldable laptops is having a larger screen without actually doubling the size of the laptop itself, which is already quite a big device. The solution is to completely remove the keyboard, settling for a removable Bluetooth alternative, and getting the screen to fold in half so that it could still be stowed in the same space as a regular laptop. Unlike touch-centric phones, however, doing away with the essential keyboard isn’t as easy to do, which is one of the major design puzzles foldable laptops have yet to solve.

That hasn’t stopped major PC manufacturers from trying to launch such products, though with extremely limited success. These include the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, now in its second-gen, and the ASUS ZenBook 17 Fold, which seems to have evaporated from shelves. The basic design is similar: you have a large screen that you can fold into a laptop angle and then put a thin wireless keyboard on top of its lower half, or use it as a large monitor on its own.

The LG Gram Fold that was just announced in South Korea is now different in terms of design, but it seems that it will be setting itself apart in one critical aspect. It runs on a 13th-gen Intel processor, unlike its peers who are already years behind in processing power and technology. It also has some pretty solid specs, but in almost all other cases, the formula is still the same. It supports pen input, turning it into a viable digital art device, though the built-in graphics might be a little underwhelming. It also weighs around 1.2kg, which makes the Gram a misnomer yet again.

And like its peers, it is also quite expensive, running around $3,800, presuming it even launches globally. It’s an inaccessible piece of novelty, one whose usability in the real world is still highly in question. Along with the lack of activity from other manufacturers, LG’s unexpected dip into this nascent and niche market is anything but puzzling. Foldable laptops might still be the future of portable computing, but it’s questionable whether people will be willing to part ways with that amount of money for them at this point in time.
