Facts as the maker states them. A dash means the maker does not name it. Each model’s page gives the source of every fact. Noise is the maker’s own figure, so we do not judge it, and a customer rating only counts from 20 reviews.

SwitchBot K11+ specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
SwitchBot · on the market since June 2025
Consumables: a 4 l dust bag in the station, which lasts up to 90 days.
Dimensionsrobot and dock
From the published dimensions. The robot passes under furniture with 10 cm of clearance or more. The dock needs a spot 24 cm wide and 18 cm deep.
Suction and brushes 4 facts
- Suction power
Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.
- 6,000 Pa
- Anti-tangle brush
A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.
- yes
- Suitable for pet hair
Whether the robot copes with pet hair: a brush that hair does not wind around and a dock that empties the bin for you. Where the maker does not say so itself, we read it from those two.
- yes
- Filter type
The filter the exhaust air passes through. A HEPA filter holds back fine dust and pollen, which counts if someone at home has an allergy.
- HEPA
Dock 5 facts
- Empties the dust bin
The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.
- yes
- Bagless
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.
- no
- Dust bag capacity
How much the dust bag in the dock holds.
- 4 l
- Dust bag lasts
How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.
- up to 90 days
- Dock size (w × d × h)
The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.
- 24 × 18 × 25 cm
Navigation and obstacles 5 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.
- LiDAR turret
- Obstacle avoidance
How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.
- none
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 17 mm
- Recharge and resume
When the battery runs low in the middle of a run, the robot recharges and then carries on where it stopped.
- yes
- Stair-edge sensors
Sensors under the robot that see a drop, so it stops at the top of a staircase instead of falling down it.
- yes
Robot 3 facts
- Robot height
How tall the robot is. It decides whether it fits under your sofa, bed or cabinet.
- 9.9 cm
- Robot diameter
How wide the robot is. Narrower gets between chair legs more easily, wider usually means a bigger dust bin.
- 24.8 cm
- Robot weight
What the robot weighs. It counts most if you carry it up a staircase every day.
- 2.3 kg
Battery 1 fact
- Battery capacity
The capacity of the battery. It hints at the runtime, but how much the robot draws counts just as much.
- 3,200 mAh
Smart features and warranty 3 facts

Matter is the standard that lets devices from different makers work together. With it you can run the robot outside the maker’s own app.
- yes
- Voice assistants
Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
- Alexa, Google Home, Apple Home
- Warranty
The warranty the maker gives in Germany. Consumer law here stands apart from it and can last longer.
- 1 year
