The battery of the S10 isn't as long-lasting as some of its rivals and might need to be recharged every few months throughout the year for those who live in a big house. It can also be quite loud when it is in operation, so it may not be suitable for use in places where quiet is desired. However, it is an excellent value for the price. The SwitchBot S10 has a sleek, modern design that makes it an outstanding model in its class.
