Repair & parts 7/30

R1 Battery replacement

5/8

Official replacement battery available, but fitting requires the service centre

Battery is not user-replaceable; SwitchBot replaces it (free in warranty, paid afterwards) via after-sales service. No battery sold to consumers.

R2 Spare parts catalogue

2/8

Consumables only

Official EU store sells only consumables for the K11+ (main brush, side brush, filter, dust bag, mop cloth, 1-year kit). No battery, wheels, motor, bumper, dust bin or mainboard listed.

R3 Parts in practice

0/5

Nothing orderable, or no model in the category that old

SwitchBot had no robot vacuum launched by 2021-10. Its earliest robot vacuum we found is the S1, released in Japan on 6 June 2022. Before that, SwitchBot was known for its Bot and Lock devices. No old model exists to test, so none.

R4 Repair information

0/5

None

None found: SwitchBot support only has consumable care/maintenance content; no repair guides for key modules.

R5 Independent repair

0/4

Neither, or not disclosed

Warranty excludes unauthorized disassembly/repair (K10+ family repair policy; no K11+-specific version found); parts pairing not disclosed.

Support & warranty 2/20

S1 Committed update period

2/8

Stated, under 3 years

Brand VDP states a 2-year software update support period (the table lists only the S10, ending 2025-12-31). Under 3 years.

1 source

S2 Update track record

0/6

No evidence of updates for models 2+ years old

No evidence found of firmware updates in the last 12 months for SwitchBot vacuums launched >= 2 years ago; SwitchBot publishes no firmware changelog, and its own table ends S10 (launched 2023-10) update support on 2025-12-31.

S3 Warranty beyond the statutory guarantee

0/6

Statutory guarantee only

2-year warranty incl. battery is within Spain's 3-year statutory guarantee.

Ownership & independence 11/20

I1 Works without the manufacturer's cloud

2/8

Account required for setup; runs offline afterwards

Robot cleans on demand via the body button without Wi-Fi/account, but schedules and maps need Wi-Fi + SwitchBot app; no evidence schedules run offline. It falls between two levels; we scored the lower one.
