In a studio apartment, the robot vacuum you can fit is the one whose dock fits. SwitchBot’s new ultra-compact K11+ Pro shrinks the dock further while quadrupling the suction of the model it effectively replaces two generations back.
SwitchBot launched the K11+ Pro on September 24 in the US, UK, and EU at $399.99 (GBP/EUR 399.99, CAD 499.99). The 24.8cm-diameter, 9.2cm-tall body packs 12,000Pa of suction, dual anti-tangle brushes, a Quiet Mode rated at 45dB, up to 90 days of hands-free auto-emptying, and Matter support alongside Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant.
The body barely changed since the K10+ Pro
The K11+ Pro’s dimensions (24.8 × 9.2cm) are essentially identical to the older K10+ Pro (9.8 × 3.6 inches, roughly 24.9 × 9.1cm). SwitchBot kept the footprint and put the engineering budget into the motor instead.
| Model | Launched | Suction | Diameter × height | Noise (Quiet Mode) | Launch price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| K10+ Pro | TBC | 3,000Pa | ~24.9 × 9.1cm | 45dB | $599 |
| K11+ (non-Pro) | IFA 2025 | 6,000Pa | TBC | TBC | ~$399 (launch discount) |
| K11+ Pro | 2026-09-24 | 12,000Pa | 24.8 × 9.2cm | 45dB | $399.99 |

Not yet disclosed: exact body dimensions and noise rating for the non-Pro K11+, and any Korea launch plan or pricing for the K11+ Pro. We’ll update this post once official numbers appear.
Two generations, two doublings
The K10+ Pro shipped at 3,000Pa. The 2025 IFA-launched K11+ doubled that to 6,000Pa. This year’s K11+ Pro doubles it again to 12,000Pa. Suction quadrupled across two generations, yet the launch price actually dropped — $399.99 versus the K10+ Pro’s $599 debut. SwitchBot also says the dock shrank by 2.9 inches (7.3cm) in height and 0.8 inches (2.1cm) in width compared with the K11+’s dock.

Carpets are still a question mark
SwitchBot’s ultra-compact line targets small apartments and studios, not carpeted family homes. An earlier review of the K10+ Pro combo praised its auto-empty and quiet operation but flagged its mopping as a weak point (Homes & Gardens). Whether the K11+ Pro’s mop function is any better isn’t covered in this launch, so it’s worth waiting for hands-on reviews before assuming the suction bump fixes carpet performance too.
No Korea launch date or local pricing has surfaced yet. For now it’s available only through SwitchBot’s own store and Amazon in the US, UK, EU, and Canada.

Who this actually suits
Keeping the footprint flat while doubling suction twice in a row is a strategy aimed squarely at people who don’t have room for a bulky dock — studios, small apartments, mostly hard floors. The lower launch price than its own predecessor makes the case stronger. If your floors are carpeted, or you’re depending on the mop function, hold off until independent reviews confirm whether those gaps closed.
