Narwal Review

The Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra offers solid vacuuming for everyday messes, and mopping performance is equally capable – with especially good edge coverage for hard-to-reach areas. Hot water mop washing and drying on the base station, combined with excellent obstacle avoidance, strengthen the proposition. However, some of its "smart" features are anything but, plus an overly complicated app and failure to reliably execute tasks mean this bot is not without its headaches.

Thanks to its novel mopping system of a rotating washcloth, the Narwal Flow is the best mopping robot that I’ve tested. It easily removes stains that other robot vacuum cleaners can’t touch, doing a job almost as good as a regular hard floor cleaner. It’s also a very powerful vacuum cleaner, with a roller that won’t get tangled. Its app made a few errors that prevented it from cleaning as well as it could until I manually fixed them, but aside from that, if you want the best mopping robot, this is the one to buy.

“The Narwal Freo Z10 takes all the best features of the Freo Z Ultra, then drops its price by $400 -- making it one of the best robot vacuums of 2025.”

If you're considering a robot vacuum purchase purely based on its ability to leave floors of all types as clean as possible, the Narwal Flow is the best bot you can get. AI-powered navigation, EdgeReach Technology, and anti-tangle brushes clean carpets and hard floors all the way to the edges and into the corners with zero fuss. The multi-function base station, with self-cleaning and drying functions, also makes it a breeze to use.

The Narwal S30 Pro beats the Roborock Dyad Pro hands down.  It managed to clean all of my tile floors, plus my gym mats, and then started to run low on battery.  I was also able to clean all of my floors with a single tank of water.  Now the Narwal has a 790ml clean tank while the Robrock has a 900ml clean tank.  I think I went through more water faster on the Roborock because it was leaving small pools of water. I had to refill my tank and empty the dirty water multiple times with the Dyad Pro.  I think the scissors in the base would be a big plus for any household with people and pets that have long hair.  It does a great job of drying and cleaning the roller.  I also love that there is an indicator at the front of the base showing you how much detergent is left in the mop.

The Narwal Freo Pro is both a robot vacuum and mop, with intelligent features like AI DirtSense (for extra scrubbing and vacuuming), a DualFlow tangle-free system with auto-detangling side brushes and a zero-tangle roller brush to combat dirt and hair. Its intelligent features and easy-to-use app make it a great floor maintenance companion.

This combination robot vacuum and mop is mostly self-reliant, capable of cleaning hundreds of square feet on a single charge while navigating efficiently, quietly, and cleaning and wetting its mop pads without human aid.

The Narwal Flow is a robotic vacuum that combines the features of a mop and a vacuum in one convenient unit. The Flow is packed with AI features that enable it to automatically detect when the floor is completely clean, avoid obstacles, and respond to new objects left in its path.  To actually do the cleaning, the Flow employs a tangle-free roller and two side brushes, plus a self-cleaning mop that sprays 113F water to make sure nothing is left behind on the floor.   

The robot vacuum cleaner market has gotten more competitive than ever before! The new robot vacuum cleaner from Narwal shows what is possible in the future. The Narwal Flow offers industry-first technology for carpet cleaning and an unprecedented mopping function. We reviewed the new top-of-the-range robot vacuum cleaner and tell you whether it's worth buying the $1,499 appliance (or not!).
