A low running cost robot for people who want bagless auto empty and long coverage per charge. Vacuum Wars measured weak suction, below average pet hair pickup and no real obstacle avoidance. Skip it if your floors are cluttered or carpet heavy.

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.

What reviewers found
Eureka E20 Evo Plus
- Vacuum Wars (2.46 Vacuum Wars stars): Measured 0.30 kPa suction, 8 CFM, 79% embedded sand, 73% pet hair, 3% hair wrap and about 1,807 sq ft per charge. Finished the studio course in 37 minutes. No dedicated obstacle avoidance and heavy water use when mopping. Source
- Garumax (Japan): Home test with a dog and two cats. About 3,000 Pa of the 10,000 Pa max was enough on tile carpet, tatami and wood, and it picked up cat litter on reduced suction. Hair wrap dropped but did not vanish. It avoided bags and balls but struggled with cords and thin slippers. The dock is about 45 cm tall and the mop must be fitted and washed by hand. Source
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
- 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
- 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
