SwitchBot made an air purifier that’s also a table and charging station

Air purifiers are great and all, but they only really do one thing, and they usually don't look elegant doing it. SwitchBot is trying to change this by making an air purifier that also serves as a table, a wireless charger, and a light source.

The device, aptly named the SwitchBot Air Purifier Table, costs $269.99 and puts a small platform atop the air purifier. You can place a Qi-compatible phone on the platform to charge it wirelessly or simply use it to set down your cup of coffee. Beneath the platform is a light that looks like it could come in handy for subtle nighttime illumination. You can choose from 10 different colors, with options for soft, moderate, and bright lighting; the light will also change color by itself - from green to blue to red - depending on air quality.

As for the air purifier, it operates at a quiet 20Db and passes air through a prefiltration layer, HEPA filter, and carbon filter. SwitchBot is also launching a cheaper $219.99 version of the air purifier that swaps out the charging table for a bowl-like platform where your cat can sit. You can control either device from the SwitchBot app and with voice commands, and Matter compatibility should arrive later this year.

SwitchBot is launching a couple of other devices, including the $799.99 K10 Plus Pro Combo system, which includes the company's tiny K10 Plus robovac, along with an auto-emptying base station and a cordless vacuum for spot cleaning. There's also a $199.99 Matter-compatible adjustable roller shade that can be cut to fit a variety of window sizes. It also lets you easily swap out the fabric.
