The SwitchBot K11+ Pro is a compact robot vacuum designed for smaller spaces, featuring Matter support for Apple Home integration. Measuring 9.76 inches across and 3.62 inches tall, the K11+ Pro weighs about 5 pounds and boasts impressive suction power of up to 12,000Pa. Its compact size allows it to maneuver easily under furniture, such as chairs, couches, and beds, making it ideal for tight spaces.
The vacuum utilizes LiDAR technology for navigation and route planning, as well as a close-range sensor for detecting furniture legs and following walls. It can store up to five maps and supports room and zone cleaning, schedules, no-go zones, and virtual walls within the SwitchBot app. Furthermore, the vacuum comes with a compact dock measuring 9.4 by 7.1 inches and a wood-patterned lid, providing a more discreet appearance in living areas.
The K11+ Pro's charging dock has a dust bag that can last up to three months, depending on usage. It operates in Quiet, Standard, and Strong modes, with Quiet Mode running at approximately 45dB. The vacuum features an all-rubber main brush and a two-arm side brush to prevent hair wrapping around them during cleaning. SwitchBot supports Matter over Wi-Fi, enabling direct pairing with Apple Home.
Room and zone cleaning, schedules, and virtual walls can be managed via the SwitchBot app, while Siri can start cleaning sessions. The SwitchBot K11+ Pro is currently available in Black and White on Amazon and SwitchBot's website.
