The thing that will probably make the difference to most people is going to be the Matter support. Now that Apple Home supports vacuums in iOS 18, this is going to be a reason to go Pro for Apple folks.
Yeah I guess so! Thing is though you still need the hub 2 for the matter support, which is a slight downside.... not because the hub 2 is bad (its a useful device), but because you need something extra, which semi-defeats the objective of matter.
@@StusReviewsUKThis is going to be the case with the vast majority of Matter supported devices I reckon though, this or putting ‘advanced’ features as native app exclusive, effectively putting them behind a paywall of sorts
Just checked - and it would appear so! If you can get one as a replacement, it’s deffo worth doing if you’re not bothered about the extra suction and nav upgrades 👌
The problem with all these vacs is that they are simply too tall. I have sofas and other furniture with a gap that my old vac used to sail under. Now, however, the new ones don’t fit! It’s a shame because it means I have to get the stick vac out and do it manually!
For me the problem is their sensors that made them avoid curtains. My old ones, stupid as they were, would just push pas curtains and sofas and clean everywhere, for the modern ones, I have to move the obstacle before cleaning

Yet another solid and helpful review. Thank you, Stu!
Cheers John 👍
Thanks Stu.
Thanks for watching as always Ron!
As soon as you said Disposible Pad I decided not going to purchase but was a good review
Works for some, explicitly useful for others, and useless for the remaining few like me.
Is the roller thingy on the pro interchangeable with the K10+? If so I'll just get one of those and swap it out. 👍

@@StusReviewsUK Thanks Stu, there's a few bob saved. 😎
