The SwitchBot K11+, if a wipe is enough. It is 248 mm square, rated at 45 dB and 150 minutes, with a 4L self-empty bag. The iRobot Roomba Max 705 Combo cleans harder, at 13,000 Pa with a washed mop, and takes more floor space.

Homes that want a robot vacuum to scrub, not just wipe, with detergent dosing, heated pad care and 13,000 Pa, and that have room for a full-size dock. It is the recommendation in this pair.

Apartment owners who need a tiny, quiet robot around chair legs, are happy with a damp wipe instead of a washed mop, and want Matter in the SwitchBot app. It runs longer on the spec sheet and is the better reviewed of the two.
