    What happened

    The robot had launched earlier in Japan. How reliably Matter room selection works across smart home platforms is the open item to watch.

    Bottom line

    The launch documents availability and smart home support; cleaning results came later from other sources.

    Impact

    On autonomy

    • Matter 1.4 service areas let supported apps start cleaning by room.
    • The maker lists 360-degree LiDAR navigation in a 24.8 cm body.
    • Suction is listed at 6,000 Pa with an anti-tangle rubber brush.

    On readiness

    • The K11+ became available on the maker's website and Amazon at $399.99.
    • European, UK and Canadian prices were listed at 399.99 euros, 399.99 pounds and CAD 499.99.
    • The dock holds a 4-liter bag rated for up to 90 days.

    What happened

    The maker lists 6,000 Pa suction, double the previous model, in a 24.8 cm body. Independent measurements of suction and obstacle handling are the open items to watch.

    Bottom line

    The announcement describes specifications and pricing; field performance was not yet documented.

    Impact

    On autonomy

    • LiDAR mapping with side distance sensors handles room mapping and route planning in a 9.2 cm tall body.
    • The maker lists suction at 6,000 Pa, double the previous mini model.
    • Mopping uses disposable cleaning sheets rather than a powered mop module.

    On readiness

    • Pre-orders opened July 1, 2025 in Japan at 59,800 yen through web stores and electronics retailers.
    • A launch discount of 10,000 yen ran until July 25, 2025.
    • A black version was planned for October 2025.
