## What reviewers found

### Dreame D10 Plus Gen 2

- Tom's Guide: On hardwood it picked up 100% of hair, 100% of cereal and 99.5% of flax seeds. On high pile carpet it got only 12% of hair, 61% of cereal and 24.5% of seeds. Mapping was quick and accurate. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/dreame-d10-plus-gen-2-review)
- Vacuum Chef: Measured about 1,300 Pa suction, a 90/100 carpet deep clean score and 79 dB peak noise. Obstacle avoidance needs major improvement and long hair tangled both ends of the roller.

### SwitchBot K11+

- TechRadar: 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. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/switchbot-k11-robot-vacuum-review)
- Tom's Guide: 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. [Source](https://www.tomsguide.com/home/smart-home/switchbot-k11-robot-vacuum-review)
- Expert Reviews: 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. [Source](https://www.expertreviews.co.uk/home-garden/vacuums-cleaning/switchbot-k11-robot-vacuum-review)
