SwitchBot

SwitchBot is best known for smart home gadgets, and its K-series robot vacuums bring the same compact thinking to apartments and small homes. The K10+ includes a self-empty base despite its mini footprint, solving the space constraint that typically forces smaller buyers to sacrifice convenience.

These models work well if you live in a studio or one-bedroom and thought self-emptying bases were off-limits. The smaller dust capacity just means more frequent empties, but the tiny robot stays out of the way.
