2026 verdict

Size and automation separate these two robot vacuums: the SwitchBot K11+ is unusually small, fitting into corners and under low furniture, and backs that up with a self-emptying dock, basic wipe-pad mopping and the widest smart-home reach of the two, covering Google Home, Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings, Home Assistant, IFTTT and Matter. The iRobot Roomba 105 answers with a notably longer runtime, about 200 minutes per charge versus the K11+'s 150, plus a lower price and the same LiDAR mapping and no-go zones. Both use laser navigation to build room maps, but only the SwitchBot empties its own bin and mops, even if that mop is just a pre-moistened wipe pad rather than a true scrubber. Buyers who want a tiny, self-emptying robot with broad platform support should pick the SwitchBot K11+; those who want longer uninterrupted runtime at a lower price should choose the iRobot Roomba 105.
