At this year’s IFA the suction race passed 30,000Pa, and the real differences moved to how each machine handles its mop and how it gets over thresholds. This page collects every robot vacuum DigitalBrain has covered into one table and is updated when a new one launches. Every number comes from the sources in the linked deep dives; anything we couldn’t confirm is marked TBC.

Pa figures come from each maker and are not measured under one standard. The units match so the order is meaningful, but the table can’t tell you how big the gap is on a real floor. The SwitchBot K11+ Pro is a 24.8cm by 9.2cm compact body, a different class from the other four.
Start from what your home needs
- Lots of thresholds: two models have a stated figure. Roborock says its raising chassis clears up to 8.8cm and Dreame says up to 10cm. In Korea, Roborock is the one you can buy first, with Flow Complete on sale Sept 20.
- Mop care first: Ecovacs rinses the mop continuously, Dreame softens dirt with 180°C steam before mopping, and Dyson finds stains with UV and mops with warm water. Three different approaches, so the deciding factor is the kind of mess you have, not suction.
- Price and floor space first: the SwitchBot K11+ Pro is the cheapest here at $399.99 and the smallest. Its mop feature was not confirmed in the launch material.
- A local Korean purchase: in this table only the Roborock Flow Complete has a confirmed Korea launch. The rest are imports or waiting on a local release.
