SwitchBot

Dreame
Up to three
All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | SwitchBot K11+ Pro | Dreame L10 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodCompact body and about 120 minutes of runtime cover sub-1,500 sqft homes comfortably in one pass. | Good160-min runtime covers under-1,500 sqft reliably; single-pass execution is typical. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodRoute planning and 120 minutes of runtime cover most mid-size homes; very open layouts near 3,000 sqft approach the limit. | GoodOpen-plan 1,500-3,000 sqft homes work well; dock return may trigger above 2,800 sqft. Structured floorplans finish in one run. |
| Over 3,000 | DependsRuntime near 120 minutes with no documented recharge-and-resume may need a mid-clean recharge in homes this large. | DependsRuntime peaks at 160 min. Homes above 3,000 sqft require dock return mid-clean; second cycle adds 5-10 min mapping overhead. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | Good12,000 Pa suction and route planning handle sealed hard floors well, with a light mop pass on top. | GoodDual-laser excels on sealed hard floors and tile; precision obstacle detection prevents bumps. |
| Low / medium pile | GoodSuction clears low-pile carpet, and the anti-tangle brush helps keep pet hair from wrapping. | GoodLow-pile carpet handled well; suction at 2,200 Pa is adequate. Visible debris rare after passes. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | DependsNo independent coverage of deep or shag pile was found; 12,000 Pa may leave embedded debris in thick carpet. | PoorOwner reports show suction loss on shag and high-pile; dual-laser does not compensate for power ceiling. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. | GoodVacuums first; the mop pad is optional. |

A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Charge time, Noise.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Mop pads need rinsing by hand after every run; the tradeoff buys a dock that stores 90 days of debris before anyone has to touch it.
Higher suction, shorter leash: the 12,000 Pa motor needs a recharge after about 120 minutes.
Mopping exists on the spec sheet. No independent source has measured what the pads actually leave behind on a floor.
The L10 Pro adds 3D obstacle avoidance the D9 does not have, and rated suction rises from 3,000 Pa to 4,000 Pa. Mopping hardware is unchanged: the same flat pad, no lift, no dock washing.
The premium over the D9 buys obstacle avoidance and a third more rated suction. It buys nothing on the mop side; the pad, the 270 ml tank and the manual rinse are identical.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
