SwitchBot’s new Robot Vacuum K11+ Pro is a compact mini robot vacuum that doubles the suction of the earlier K11+ and supports Matter-over-Wi-Fi for smarter home control. It combines a 12,000Pa fan, quieter operation, dual anti-tangle brushes, and up to 90 days of hands-free dust collection in a body small enough to fit under more furniture and between chair legs. Aimed at apartments, smaller homes, pet owners, and tight spaces, it is available in White and Black through SwitchBot’s official website and Amazon store.
Double the suction in a smaller body
The K11+ Pro centers on a new-generation volute centrifugal fan that delivers up to 12,000Pa of suction, which SwitchBot says is twice the peak suction power of the original K11+. That increase is designed to help the compact vacuum pick up everyday messes without needing a larger, bulkier body.
According to SwitchBot, the upgraded airflow system is tuned to collect dust, crumbs, pet hair, cat litter, and particles trapped on carpets. The company stresses that this bump in suction does not come at the cost of size, so the K11+ Pro still targets furniture-dense homes where many larger robot vacuums struggle to reach.
To keep upkeep low, the robot pairs that suction with automatic dust collection at the dock for up to 90 days of hands-free emptying. The idea is that users can let the robot handle daily dirt and hair while going a long time between dealing with the dust bag in the auto-empty station.
Ultra-compact design for tight spaces
The K11+ Pro is built around a very small footprint for a robot vacuum with an auto-empty station, measuring 24.8cm in diameter and 9.2cm in height. SwitchBot describes it as one of the world’s most compact robot vacuums that still includes automatic dust collection.
That smaller body is meant to help it move between chair legs, clean closer to walls and corners, and reach underneath beds, sofas, and cabinets where taller or wider models cannot fit. For people in apartments or smaller homes with a lot of furniture, the size is a core selling point rather than just a spec line.
The robot weighs approximately 2.3kg, which makes it easier to pick up and carry compared with many heavier units. It also supports up to five maps, so users can move it between rooms or floors and still keep separate layouts saved for different parts of the home.
For movement and planning, the K11+ Pro uses LDS LiDAR navigation to map rooms and plan routes. That is paired with PSD close-range sensing to detect furniture legs and wall edges, which helps it stay aware of obstacles and clean along boundaries more accurately.
Hair handling is a big focus, especially for pet households. The all-rubber main brush is designed to help minimize hair wrapping tightly around the roller, which can make cleanup faster when hair does build up. A two-arm anti-tangle side brush works on the edges to loosen and sweep away hair while pushing debris toward the suction inlet.
Together with automatic dust collection, this setup aims to reduce how often users need to interact directly with pet hair, fine dust, and debris. For light floor care, the K11+ Pro also supports disposable mop cloths for convenient daily dry wiping, so there is no need to wash a reusable mop pad after each run.
Noise control gets its own hardware change on the K11+ Pro. SwitchBot redesigned the air duct to optimize airflow and cut down on harsh, high-frequency sounds that tend to be the most annoying in small homes.
In Quiet Mode, the K11+ Pro operates at approximately 45dB, according to SwitchBot. That level is aimed at people living in apartments or shared spaces, or anyone who wants to run the vacuum while working from home, reading, or doing light nighttime cleaning without a lot of disruption.
Combined with the small size, the quieter profile is especially targeted at city living and smaller spaces where you are more likely to hear every sound. Users can choose when to run Quiet Mode based on their schedule and noise tolerance.
Matter-over-Wi-Fi, voice control, and app automations
The K11+ Pro ships with Matter-over-Wi-Fi support so it can connect to compatible smart home platforms, including Apple Home. This lets the robot slot into broader home setups that use Matter as a common standard for devices.
Voice control sits alongside that as a separate option. Users can start cleaning through Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant, giving several ways to start a clean by voice. Matter-over-Wi-Fi handles smart home platform connections like Apple Home, while voice assistants handle spoken commands.
For deeper control, the SwitchBot app is the main tool. In the app, users can select rooms and zones, create schedules, set no-go areas and virtual walls, and manage both cleaning and dust collection times. The K11+ Pro can also join SwitchBot automations, such as starting a cleaning session when users leave home and finishing before they return, tying vacuuming into their daily routine.
What you need to set it up
To get the K11+ Pro running in a smart home, you pair it over Wi-Fi and add it to compatible Matter platforms such as Apple Home, while using the SwitchBot app for mapping, room selection, schedules, no-go areas, and fine-tuning how and when it cleans and empties. Matter-over-Wi-Fi handles the link into supported ecosystems, while the SwitchBot app carries the detailed controls and the automations within the SwitchBot system.
Day to day, the auto-empty station is what keeps the robot going for up to 90 days without hands-on dust disposal. The robot returns to the station to offload debris, so users mainly interact with the dock when it is time to replace the dust bag and adjust cleaning or dust collection schedules in the app.
