In a small apartment, dock footprint and noise matter more than battery life. The JONR R7 Pro (64 dB, compact Omni dock) is our top pick; the Roborock Q Revo is the quieter big-brand alternative; and for a studio the $179 Eufy 11S Max at 55 dB is the quietest robot we have measured.
We measured dock footprints, minimum clearance and noise at 1 m, then ran each robot in a 48 m² one-bedroom with a home-office worker on calls.
