SwitchBot K11+
Tiny self emptying robot for small, furniture packed homes
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 16, 2026
SCORED
It was $200 cheaper ($200) during a July 2026 sale at SwitchBot's store. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, and big sales usually return then. Get a price drop alert or see every tracked deal.
Built for small apartments and rooms packed with furniture, since it is only about 25 cm across and its dock is smaller than a sheet of A4. Reviewers like the speedy cleaning and big 4 L dock bag, but treat it as a vacuum only, because the wipe mop is weak. Skip it for larger homes, cluttered floors or heavy pet hair, and wait for a sale since it often drops well below $400.
Best for: small apartments with tight gaps under furniture. Skip if: you need real mopping or have a large home.

What independent reviewers found
- Charming, capable vacuum for cramped homes with fast, accurate navigation and a large dock bag; the wipe mop is not worth using, auto empty is noisy and it hit a shoe and sucked up a cable. TechRadar gave a Performance 3.5/5 subscore but no overall rating.
- TechRadar
- Picked up all kitty litter but struggled with Cheerios; mapping needed about four attempts and the reviewer preferred the cheaper K10+ Pro unless battery life or noise matter most.
- Tom's Guide
- Near perfect rice pickup on carpet and laminate, but weaker on flour and pet hair; it ran over socks and cables and did not detect a fake dog mess.

Questions buyers ask
Can it mop?
Only lightly. It has no water tank and uses a disposable wet wipe attachment that TechRadar and Tom's Guide found underwhelming.
How often do I change the dust bag?
SwitchBot says the 4 L bag lasts up to 90 days; Expert Reviews reports about four changes a year.
Does it work with Apple Home?
Yes. It supports Matter, so it works natively with Apple Home, Alexa and Google Home.
Will it fit under my furniture?
It is 98.5 mm tall, which TechRadar calls average, so measure low sofas first.
