Owner and reviewer coverage of real-world obstacle avoidance and mopping performance was still limited at launch.
ImpactOn autonomy
- Triple-eye LiDAR obstacle avoidance now available to general retail buyers, not just backers
- Four suction modes and automatic carpet detection confirmed as shipping retail features
- App-based 2D and 3D home mapping reached general users for the first time
On readiness
- Moved from Indiegogo pre-order exclusivity to standard European retail distribution
- Retail price set at EUR599, above the earlier discounted campaign rate
- Red Dot Award 2021 recognition added design credibility ahead of wider reviews

Technical notes2 sectionsEuropean Retail Launch
360 Smart Life began European retail distribution of the S10 in June 2021 at a EUR599 launch price, moving the robot out of its earlier Indiegogo pre-order phase. The release covered the same triple-eye LiDAR configuration detailed at announcement: a main laser for 6 to 8 meter mapping, a front laser for foreground detection, and a wall-following laser for close-range edge cleaning.
Confirmed Specifications
Retail units shipped with a Nidec brushless motor rated up to 3300 Pa across four suction modes, a 500 ml dust bin, and a 520 ml water tank for mopping. The companion app supported multi-floor mapping across up to 10 stored floor plans, no-go zone marking, and room-specific cleaning intensity. The S10 carried a 2021 Red Dot Design Award, announced in April 2021 ahead of this retail rollout.

360 S10 debuts via Indiegogo with hidden triple-eye LiDAR design
360 Smart Life opened Indiegogo pre-orders for the S10, built around a triple-eye LiDAR array concealed inside a 3.35 inch body rather than the raised turret common on other LiDAR vacuums of the period.

Retail pricing and wider availability outside the campaign remained unconfirmed at this stage.
ImpactOn autonomy
- Triple-eye LiDAR reportedly identifies obstacles as small as 0.4 inches before contact
- Front, main, and wall lasers cover both long-range mapping and close wall-following
- Hidden sensor housing removes the external bump turret used on comparable LiDAR models
On readiness
- Product limited to Indiegogo pre-order backers, not yet in general retail
- Campaign pricing offered as a promotional pre-order rate ahead of standard retail
- Multi-floor mapping and app-based no-go zones announced but not independently verified pre-release

Sensor Design
The S10 uses three LiDAR units housed inside the robot’s body rather than in an external turret: a main laser rated for 6 to 8 meter range mapping, a front laser for close-range foreground detection, and a side-facing wall laser used for close-range wall following. Campaign materials describe the combined system as capable of identifying more than 100 object types down to roughly 0.4 inches in height. The internal mounting keeps the chassis at 3.35 inches, thinner than the bump-style turrets used on many contemporaneous LiDAR vacuums.
Campaign Details
360 Smart Life ran the S10 as an Indiegogo crowdfunding project from late March 2021 through May 14, 2021, offering a discounted pre-order price ahead of standard retail. The listing also detailed a 520 ml water tank for mopping, a 500 ml dust bin, and app-based multi-floor mapping supporting up to 10 saved floor plans. Fulfillment and general retail availability outside the campaign were not confirmed as of this announcement.
