SwitchBot has officially expanded its compact robot vacuum lineup with the launch of the new SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+ Pro. Positioned as one of the world’s smallest robot vacuums, the new model combines a ultra-compact 24.8 cm body with major internal upgrades to deliver high-powered cleaning in tight spaces.

Compact Frame with Upgraded 12000Pa Suction

Just like its predecessor, the K11+, the standout feature of the K11+ Pro is its small physical footprint, measuring 24.8 x 24.8 x 9.2 cm and weighing 2.3 kg. This mini form allows the vacuum to navigate between narrow chair legs, enter tight corners, and pass under low-clearance furniture where standard 35 cm robot vacuums cannot fit.

SwitchBot upgraded the internal motor to produce up to 12000Pa of suction power. The device includes automatic carpet detection that boosts suction power when transitioning onto rugs. For hard floor care, a attachable mop plate uses disposable wiping cloths to sweep up fine dust behind the main tangle-resistant rubber roller.

LDS Laser SLAM Navigation and Self-Emptying Dock

The K11+ Pro uses LDS Laser SLAM navigation combined with PSD close-range sensors for room mapping, precise wall-following, and obstacle avoidance. The companion app stores up to five distinct floor maps, making the vacuum suitable for multi-story layouts. Users can configure customized cleaning schedules, designate room-specific cleaning order, and set virtual no-go zones.

The included self-emptying station features a compact footprint while housing a 4L dust bag. After a cleaning run, the station automatically transfers collected debris from the robot’s internal dust bin, holding up to 90 days of dust and pet hair before requiring a bag replacement.

Standalone Matter over Wi-Fi Support

The K11+ Pro features native Matter over Wi-Fi support. It connects directly via Wi-Fi and uses Bluetooth for setup and initial onboarding. Because it operates as a standalone Matter device, you can pair the vacuum directly into Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings, or Home Assistant without purchasing a separate SwitchBot hub.

But as with most robot vacuums, you end up using Matter as a controller only. At this point in development, it’s impossible to create maps, zones or use any advanced features over Matter except basic triggers.

Pricing and Availability

The SwitchBot Robot Vacuum K11+ Pro carries an official list price of $399.99. However, buyers can currently take advantage of significant launch discounts across multiple storefronts.

On the official SwitchBot web store, applying promo code FAFA40 at checkout reduces the price by 40% off, bringing the total down to $239.99. The unit is also listed on Amazon at a discounted price of $299.99 down from its $399.99 MSRP.
