SwitchBot K11+
SwitchBot markets the K11+ as a mini vacuum-only robot, and the compact self-empty station (about the footprint of a sheet of paper) is genuinely the selling point - most self-empty docks eat a chunk of a closet or hallway corner. LDS LiDAR navigation is a step up from the bump-and-turn nav you'd expect at this price, so it actually maps rooms instead of randomly bouncing. 6000 Pa is stronger than SwitchBot's basic K10+ but this is still a vacuum-only machine - there's no mop here, so don't buy it expecting one. The 4L bag in the station is rated for 90 days between empties, which is realistic for a smaller apartment with one or two pets. It skips carpet detection and multi-floor mapping, which keeps the price down but means you're not getting the smarts of SwitchBot's pricier S-series. Matter compatibility is a nice touch if you're already on Apple Home or Google Home rather than locked into a single app ecosystem.
