Σήμερα, κοίταξα το πάτωμά μου και παρατήρησα ότι φαινόταν εξαιρετικά καλό. Εδώ και αρκετό καιρό δοκιμάζω τις καλύτερες ρομποτικές σκούπες, οπότε λειτουργούν συνεχώς στο σπίτι μου. Ποιο ρομπότ μου τράβηξε την προσοχή; Αυτό θα ήταν το Narwal Flow.
Όχι μόνο το πάτωμα φαίνεται υπέροχο, αλλά οι άκρες και οι γωνίες είναι εξαιρετικά καθαρές, και τα χαλιά μου είναι καθαρά και δεν έχουν μετακινηθεί από εκεί που τα τοποθέτησα. Πολλές σκούπες μπορούν να επιτύχουν όλα αυτά, αλλά αυτή είναι η πρώτη φορά που όλα συνέβησαν ταυτόχρονα.
Και μετά από ένα μήνα δοκιμών, με πάνω από 1.000 ώρες λειτουργίας και 7.500 τετραγωνικά πόδια εργασιών καθαρισμού δαπέδου, είμαι αρκετά χαρούμενος να δηλώσω ότι αυτή είναι μία από τις καλύτερες ρομποτικές σκούπες που μπορείτε να αγοράσετε.
Στην CES 2025 απονείμαμε στο Narwal Flow ένα βραβείο CES 2025 Breakthrough για τις διάφορες καινοτομίες του. Η πολυλειτουργική βάση και το νέο σύστημα FlowWash με την τεχνολογία EdgeReach ήταν οι κύριοι παράγοντες αυτής της απόφασης. Ήταν προφανές από εκείνες τις πρώτες επιδείξεις ότι αυτό θα ήταν το ρομπότ που θα επικρατούσε στον καθαρισμό δαπέδων το 2025, οπότε είμαι εξαιρετικά ευχαριστημένος που είχα τώρα το ρομπότ στο σπίτι για ζωντανή δοκιμή.
Παραδοσιακά, η Narwal χρησιμοποιεί διπλά περιστρεφόμενα μαξιλαράκια σφουγγαρίσματος στα ρομπότ της. Με το Narwal Flow, το σύστημα σφουγγαρίσματος FlowWash είναι ένα επιμηκυμένο σύστημα κυλίνδρων. Αυτό δημιουργεί μια επιφάνεια πλήρους πλάτους που μπορεί να γυαλίσει πολλές επιφάνειες ταυτόχρονα. Το Flow προσθέτει επίσης το EdgeReach, που επιτρέπει στον κύλινδρο να επεκτείνεται προς το πλάι, ώστε το ρομπότ να καθαρίζει πλήρως μέχρι την άκρη του δωματίου σας και στις γωνίες.
Το Flow είναι εξοπλισμένο με γνωστές πτυσσόμενες μπροστινές βούρτσες και έναν κύριο κύλινδρο χωρίς μπλέξιμο, που τροφοδοτείται από πίεση αναρρόφησης 20.000 Pa για όλες τις ανάγκες καθαρισμού σας.
Αν και η Narwal ήταν ηγέτης στους τομείς της χαρτογράφησης και της πλοήγησης στο παρελθόν, το Flow το αναβαθμίζει επίσης. Συνδυάζοντας την ισχυρή υπολογιστική δύναμη AI στο Twin-AI Dodge με την αξιοπιστία της τρισδιάστατης μοντελοποίησης από αισθητήρες LiDAR, το Flow πλοηγείται στο σπίτι μου καλύτερα από οποιοδήποτε προηγούμενο ρομπότ Narwal. Επιπλέον, ο αισθητήρας LiDAR βρίσκεται τώρα στο πίσω μέρος, καθιστώντας αυτό ένα από τα πιο κοντά ρομπότ Narwal, ιδανικό για να περνά κάτω από έπιπλα.
Η πολυλειτουργική βάση 8 σε 1 φιλοξενεί καθαρούς και βρώμικους κάδους νερού, μια μεγάλη σακούλα συλλογής ξηρών υπολειμμάτων και μια ποικιλία από λειτουργίες αυτοκαθαρισμού και αυτοματοποίησης. Αυτές οι λειτουργίες υπόσχονται πολλές εβδομάδες λειτουργίας χωρίς συντήρηση και άγχος.
Ας ξεκινήσουμε με τα βασικά. Το Flow αποδεικνύεται πολύ αξιόπιστη σκούπα, και όλα ξεκινούν με τη χαρτογράφηση και την πλοήγηση. Μετά την εγκατάσταση, το Flow χαρτογράφησε τα πατώματά μου εξίσου καλά με τις προηγούμενες μονάδες Narwal και συνεχίζει να πλοηγείται με ακρίβεια. Αναγνωρίζει με ακρίβεια καλώδια, παπούτσια, έπιπλα και χαλιά που πρέπει να αποφεύγει. Αυτό περιλαμβάνει τα εξαιρετικά παχιά χαλάκια μπάνιου μου που πάντα αναφέρω· το Flow είναι το πρώτο ρομπότ που τα αναγνωρίζει ως πολύ ψηλά για αυτό, αποφεύγοντάς τα αντί να κολλάει πάνω τους.
Τα συστήματα αναρρόφησης της Narwal ήταν αρκετά για να μαζέψουν μεταλλικές μπίλιες, Lego και άλλα βαριά υπολείμματα όταν τα ρομπότ είχαν περίπου 8.000 Pa· τώρα που το Flow προσφέρει 20.000 Pa, η συλλογή υπολειμμάτων και η απομάκρυνση αντικειμένων από βαθύτερα χαλιά είναι καλύτερη από ποτέ. Το Flow καταφέρνει να μαζέψει αυτές τις ενοχλητικές πευκοβελόνες από όλες τις σχισμές και τις γωνίες.
Τα συστήματα πλοήγησης και προσέγγισης καθαρίζουν αποτελεσματικά τις άκρες και τις γωνίες του δωματίου. Αυτά τα συστήματα εξασφαλίζουν επίσης κάλυψη γύρω από τα πόδια των επίπλων, κάτι που είναι εξαιρετικό. Το Narwal Flow συνεχίζει την παράδοση των ρομπότ Narwal να καθαρίζουν επιτυχώς κάτω από το τραπέζι της κουζίνας μου, πλοηγούμενο ανάμεσα στα πόδια των καρεκλών και άλλα εμπόδια. Βοηθάει το γεγονός ότι το ρομπότ είναι χαμηλότερο από τα περισσότερα, οπότε δεν έχει κανένα πρόβλημα να περνά κάτω από χαμηλά μπαρ και άλλα χαμηλά έπιπλα.
Τα ξηρά υπολείμματα απομακρύνονται καθαρά από το ρομπότ μετά από κάθε συνεδρία, αποθηκεύοντας τη σκόνη και τα φύλλα στη σακούλα κενού 2,5L στη βάση. Αυτή η πολυλειτουργική βάση κάνει επίσης εξαιρετική δουλειά στον καθαρισμό του μαξιλαριού σφουγγαρίσματος, χρησιμοποιώντας θερμότητα και αέρα.
Όσον αφορά το σφουγγάρισμα, το μαξιλάρι κυλίνδρου πιέζει στο πάτωμα με δύναμη 12N για να αφαιρέσει οποιαδήποτε βρωμιά και βρωμιά που μπορεί να υπήρχε ακόμα στα πατώματά μου. Τα ξύλινα και τα πλακάκια μου φαίνονται φανταστικά. Η λύση καθαρισμού που δημιουργεί η Narwal έχει πάντα λειτουργήσει καλά με τα πατώματά μου, κάτι που μπορεί να αλλάξει τα αποτελέσματά σας, αλλά αυτό είναι, χωρίς αμφιβολία, το καλύτερο αποτέλεσμα από ένα ρομπότ Narwal που έχω δει μέχρι σήμερα, και, στην πραγματικότητα, το καλύτερο που έχω δει από οποιαδήποτε ρομποτική σκούπα.
Δυστυχώς, η βάση δεν έχει αυτόματη προσθήκη απορρυπαντικού. Πρέπει να προσθέτετε χειροκίνητα τη λύση στον καθαρό κάδο νερού κάθε φορά που τον γεμίζετε. Μιλώντας για αυτό, πρέπει να ξαναγεμίζω τον κάδο (και να αδειάζω και να καθαρίζω τον χρησιμοποιημένο κάδο νερού) για κάθε 900 τετραγωνικά πόδια σφουγγαρίσματος. Αυτό είναι λίγο πάνω από δύο πλήρεις καθαρισμούς του χώρου μου.
Φυσικά, το Flow έχει επίσης ενσωματωμένη ευφυΐα AI. Χρησιμοποιώ τη λειτουργία Freo Mind, η οποία προσαρμόζει τη στρατηγική καθαρισμού καθώς προχωρά. Το ρομπότ περνά περισσότερο ή λιγότερο χρόνο σε ορισμένες περιοχές με βάση τις προηγούμενες ανάγκες καθαρισμού και μπορεί να αλλάξει τη ροή του, ξεκινώντας σε ένα δωμάτιο ή άλλο, ή καθαρίζοντας πρώτα τις άκρες και μετά το κέντρο. Η Narwal εξακολουθεί να χρησιμοποιεί την τεχνολογία DirtSense, η οποία ανιχνεύει πολύ με ακρίβεια την καθαριότητα του νερού που βγαίνει από τον κύλινδρο της σφουγγαρίστρας. Το σύστημα συνολικά γνωρίζει πόσο καθαρός ή βρώμικος είναι ο χώρος σας παρακολουθώντας την καθαριότητα του κυλίνδρου κατά τη στιγμή του καθαρισμού στη βάση. Αν ο κύλινδρος είναι πολύ βρώμικος, τότε το ρομπότ μπορεί να ξαναβγεί για να καθαρίσει ξανά.
Αυτό που με ενδιαφέρει περισσότερο είναι ότι δεν μπορώ να δω κανένα σημείο στο πάτωμά μου που το Flow έχει παραλείψει, και δεν χρειάζεται να περπατήσω γύρω του για να βάλω πράγματα στη θέση τους που έχει χτυπήσει ή σπρώξει. Τα περισσότερα σύγχρονα ρομπότ υψηλής ποιότητας είναι πολύ καλά στην πλοήγηση, αλλά το Narwal Flow ξεχωρίζει για την ακρίβεια.
Όσον αφορά την πλοήγηση, το μόνο που έχω δει ότι το Flow θα μπορούσε να βελτιώσει είναι πώς χειρίζεται τις κλειστές πόρτες. Αν το ρομπότ ξέρει ότι υπάρχει ένα δωμάτιο πίσω από την πόρτα, είναι λίγο επίμονο στο να προσπαθεί να μπει. Δεν χτυπά την πόρτα αν είναι εντελώς κλειστή, αλλά αν η πόρτα είναι μόλις ανοιχτή, το Flow μπορεί να προσπαθήσει να μπει. Ήταν μια τρομακτική εμπειρία όταν ήμουν στο ντους κάποτε, αλλά άξιζε το γέλιο.
Ρομπότ
Διαστάσεις: 368 x 330 x 95 mm
Λειτουργίες
✔ Σκουπίζει ✔ Σκουπίζει με ηλεκτρική σκούπα ✔ Σφουγγαρίζει
Στα $1,499 MSRP, το Flow είναι σίγουρα στην κατηγορία premium των ρομπότ καθαρισμού, αλλά αν είχα τα χρήματα, θα αγόραζα ένα ως δώρο για όλη την οικογένεια και τους φίλους μου. Συγκεκριμένα, ξέρω κάποιον με τρία μεγάλα σκυλιά που παλεύει να κρατήσει τα πατώματά του καθαρά. Το Narwal Flow είναι το πρώτο ρομπότ που πιστεύω ότι μπορεί να ανταποκριθεί σε αυτά τα σαλιάρικα ζώα και τις τρίχες που ρίχνουν.
Για τη συνολική εμπειρία καθαρισμού, θυμάμαι το Narwal Freo Z Ultra ($1499.99 στο Amazon) και το Roborock Saros 10R ($1599.99 στο Amazon).
Το Freo Z Ultra είναι από μια παλαιότερη γενιά ρομπότ Narwal, που βοήθησε να ανοίξει το δρόμο για αυτό που έχουμε σήμερα. Περιλάμβανε εξαιρετική χαρτογράφηση και πλοήγηση με LiDAR, και επίσης παρήγαγε έναν πολύ ευχάριστο καθαρισμό στα σκληρά πατώματά μου. Η αυτοματοποίηση και η ευφυΐα AI έκαναν το Freo Z Ultra μια φανταστική επιλογή, αλλά έχει μόνο 12,000 Pa πίεση αναρρόφησης, και ο πύργος LiDAR στην κορυφή το έκανε αρκετά ψηλό. Το Narwal Flow μου φαίνεται καλύτερο σχεδόν σε κάθε τρόπο.
Η επόμενη καλύτερη επιλογή στην κατηγορία τιμής του είναι το Roborock Saros 10R, το οποίο διαπρέπει στην πλοήγηση, ακόμη και αν το Narwal το ξεπερνάει όσον αφορά το σφουγγάρισμα. Αν θέλετε πραγματικά να διασκεδάσετε, το Saros Z70 ($2599 στο Amazon) είναι επίσης διαθέσιμο, αλλά οι περισσότεροι άνθρωποι δεν θα θέλουν να πληρώσουν επιπλέον $1,000 για το κόλπο αυτού του ρομπότ: έναν ρομποτικό βραχίονα. Αν θέλετε κάτι κάτω από το όριο τιμής των $1,000, το Eureka J15 Pro Ultra ($799.99 στο Amazon) είναι επίσης μια εξαιρετική επιλογή.
Προσπαθώ να μην δεθώ με τις μονάδες αξιολόγησης που μου στέλνουν για δοκιμή, αλλά θα είμαι λυπημένος όταν αυτό το ρομπότ προχωρήσει. Αυτή είναι η καλύτερη σύσταση που νομίζω ότι μπορώ να δώσω.

The multi-function base station, with self-cleaning and drying functions, also makes it a breeze to use.Today, I looked at my floor and noticed it looked exceptionally good. I have been reviewing the very best robot vacuums for quite some time now, so they are constantly running in my home. What bot made me take notice? That would be the Narwal Flow.Not only does the floor look great, but the edges and corners are super clean, and my rugs are clean and have not moved from where I placed them. A number of vacuums can accomplish all of these things, but this is the first time they have all happened at the same time.And after testing it for a month, running it for well over 1,000 hours and 7,500 sqft of floor cleaning tasks, I’m pretty happy to declare that this is one of the best robot vacuums you can buy.What’s the Narwal Flow all about?Paul Jones / Android AuthorityBack at CES 2025 we awarded the Narwal Flow a CES 2025 Breakthrough award for its various innovations. The multi-function base station, and the new FlowWash System with EdgeReach Technology were top factors in that decision. It was obvious from those early demos that this was going to be the bot to beat for floor mopping in 2025, so I’m super pleased to have now had the bot in-house for live testing.Traditionally, Narwal deploys dual spinning mop pads on its bots. With the Narwal Flow, the FlowWash Mopping System is an elongated roller system. This creates a full-width flat surface that can polish a lot of surfaces at once. The Flow also adds EdgeReach, which allows the roller to push out to the side so that the bot can clean completely to the edge of your room and into corners.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityThe Flow is equipped with familiar folding front brushes and a zero-tangling main roller, powered by 20,000 Pa of suction pressure for all of your vacuuming needs.Though Narwal has been a leader in terms of mapping and navigation in the past, the Flow steps that up, too. Combining powerful AI computing in their Twin-AI Dodge with the reliability of 3D modeling from LiDAR sensors, the Flow navigates my home better than any Narwal bot before it. Plus, the LiDAR sensor is now situated in the rear casing, making this one of the shortest Narwal bots as well, perfect for getting under furniture.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityThe 8-in-1 multi-function base station houses clean and dirty water canisters, a large dry debris collection bag, and an assortment of self-cleaning and automation features. These features promise many weeks of maintenance-free and stress-free operation.Many promises, but how does the Narwal Flow stack up in the real world?Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityLet’s start with the basics. The Flow is proving to be a very reliable vacuum, and that all starts with mapping and navigation. After setup, the Flow mapped my floors just as well as previous Narwal units did, and it continues to navigate with precision. It accurately identifies cords, shoes, furniture, and carpets that it should avoid running over. This includes my extra-thick bath mats that I always talk about; the Flow is the first bot to identify the mats as being too tall for it, avoiding them instead of getting stuck on them.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityNarwal vacuum suction systems were enough to pick up metal marbles, Lego, and other heavy debris back when the bots were around 8,000 Pa; now that the Flow offers 20,000 Pa, picking up debris and pulling things out of deeper carpets is better than ever. The Flow successfully gets those pesky pine needles from all the cracks and crevices. Edge-to-edge, there are few bots as thorough as the Narwal Flow The navigation and reach systems effectively clean the edges and corners of the room. These systems also ensure coverage around furniture legs, which is great. The Narwal Flow continues the tradition of Narwal bots successfully cleaning all the way under my kitchen table, navigating the chair legs and other obstacles. It helps that the bot is shorter than most, so it has no issue at all getting under the low bars and my other low furniture.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityDry debris is cleanly pulled from the bot after each session, storing the dust and leaves in the 2.5L vacuum bag in the base station. That multi-function base station also does a great job at cleaning the mop pad, using heat and air. For my wood floors, this is the best clean I've seen from any robot vacuum to date. In terms of mopping, the roller pad presses into the floor with 12N of downward force to buff away any dirt and grime that might have still existed on my floors. My hardwoods and tile are looking fantastic. The cleaning solution that Narwal creates has always worked well with my floors, which might change your results, but this is, without question, the best result from a Narwal bot that I’ve seen to date, and, in fact, the best I’ve seen from any robot vacuum, period.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthoritySadly, the base station does not have automatic detergent addition. You have to manually add the solution to the clean water canister each time you fill it. Speaking of, I’m having to refill the bucket (and empty and clean the used water bucket) for every 900 sqft of mopping. That’s just over two full cleanings of my space.Of course, the Flow has plenty of AI smarts baked in, too. I’ve been using the Freo Mind mode, which has been adjusting the cleaning strategy as it goes. The bot spends more or less time in certain areas based on previous cleaning needs, and may change up its flow, starting in one room or another, or cleaning edges first, then the middle. Narwal is still using its DirtSense technology, which very accurately detects the cleanliness of the water coming off the mop roller. The system overall knows how clean or dirty your space is by tracking the cleanliness of the roller at the time of cleaning in the base station. If the roller is too dirty, then the bot may go back out to clean again.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityWhat matters most to me is that I cannot see any spots on my floor that the Flow has missed, and I do not have to go around after it to put things back in place that it’s run into or pushed around. Most modern high-end robot vacuums are really good at navigation, but the Narwal Flow stands out for precision.In terms of navigation, the absolute only thing I’ve seen that the Flow could improve on is how it handles closed doors. If the bot knows there’s a room behind that door, it’s a little pushy at trying to get in there. It does not run into the door if it’s completely closed, but if the door is just barely open, the Flow may try to push in. That was a startling experience when I was in the shower once, but it was worth the laugh.Narwal Flow specificationsRobotDimensions: 368 x 330 x 95 mm Functions✔ Sweeps ✔ Vacuums ✔ MopsNarwal Flow review verdict: Is it worth it?Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityAt $1,499 MSRP, the Flow is definitely on the premium end of robot vacuum cleaners, but if I had the cash, I’d buy one as a gift for all of my family and friends. In particular, I know someone with three big dogs who is struggling to keep their floors clean. The Narwal Flow is the first bot I think can keep up with those slobbery beasts and their shedding hair.For the overall cleaning experience, I am reminded of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra ($1499.99 at Amazon) and the Roborock Saros 10R ($1599.99 at Amazon).The Freo Z Ultra is from an older generation of Narwal bots, which helped pave the way for what we get today. It included superb, LiDAR-driven mapping and navigation, and also produced a very pleasant polished clean on my hard floors. Automation and AI-smarts made the Freo Z Ultra a fantastic choice, but it only has 12,000 Pa of suction pressure, and the LiDAR turret on top made it fairly tall. The Narwal Flow feels better to me in almost every way. The Flow is a no-fuss floor cleaner with great navigation. The next best option in its price tier is the Roborock Saros 10R, which excels at navigation, even if the Narwal has it beat in terms of mopping. If you really want to have fun, the Saros Z70 ($2599 at Amazon) is also available, but most people won’t want to pay an extra $1,000 for that bot’s party trick: a robotic arm. If you want something below the $1,000 price threshold, the Eureka J15 Pro Ultra ($799.99 at Amazon) is also a great choice.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityI try not to get attached to review units I get sent to test, but I’m going to be sad when this bot moves on. That’s about the best recommendation I think I can give.

Narwal FlowIf 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.Today, I looked at my floor and noticed it looked exceptionally good. I have been reviewing the very best robot vacuums for quite some time now, so they are constantly running in my home. What bot made me take notice? That would be the Narwal Flow.Not only does the floor look great, but the edges and corners are super clean, and my rugs are clean and have not moved from where I placed them. A number of vacuums can accomplish all of these things, but this is the first time they have all happened at the same time.And after testing it for a month, running it for well over 1,000 hours and 7,500 sqft of floor cleaning tasks, I’m pretty happy to declare that this is one of the best robot vacuums you can buy.What’s the Narwal Flow all about?Paul Jones / Android AuthorityBack at CES 2025 we awarded the Narwal Flow a CES 2025 Breakthrough award for its various innovations. The multi-function base station, and the new FlowWash System with EdgeReach Technology were top factors in that decision. It was obvious from those early demos that this was going to be the bot to beat for floor mopping in 2025, so I’m super pleased to have now had the bot in-house for live testing.Traditionally, Narwal deploys dual spinning mop pads on its bots. With the Narwal Flow, the FlowWash Mopping System is an elongated roller system. This creates a full-width flat surface that can polish a lot of surfaces at once. The Flow also adds EdgeReach, which allows the roller to push out to the side so that the bot can clean completely to the edge of your room and into corners.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityThe Flow is equipped with familiar folding front brushes and a zero-tangling main roller, powered by 20,000 Pa of suction pressure for all of your vacuuming needs.Though Narwal has been a leader in terms of mapping and navigation in the past, the Flow steps that up, too. Combining powerful AI computing in their Twin-AI Dodge with the reliability of 3D modeling from LiDAR sensors, the Flow navigates my home better than any Narwal bot before it. Plus, the LiDAR sensor is now situated in the rear casing, making this one of the shortest Narwal bots as well, perfect for getting under furniture.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityThe 8-in-1 multi-function base station houses clean and dirty water canisters, a large dry debris collection bag, and an assortment of self-cleaning and automation features. These features promise many weeks of maintenance-free and stress-free operation.Many promises, but how does the Narwal Flow stack up in the real world?Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityLet’s start with the basics. The Flow is proving to be a very reliable vacuum, and that all starts with mapping and navigation. After setup, the Flow mapped my floors just as well as previous Narwal units did, and it continues to navigate with precision. It accurately identifies cords, shoes, furniture, and carpets that it should avoid running over. This includes my extra-thick bath mats that I always talk about; the Flow is the first bot to identify the mats as being too tall for it, avoiding them instead of getting stuck on them.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityNarwal vacuum suction systems were enough to pick up metal marbles, Lego, and other heavy debris back when the bots were around 8,000 Pa; now that the Flow offers 20,000 Pa, picking up debris and pulling things out of deeper carpets is better than ever. The Flow successfully gets those pesky pine needles from all the cracks and crevices. Edge-to-edge, there are few bots as thorough as the Narwal Flow The navigation and reach systems effectively clean the edges and corners of the room. These systems also ensure coverage around furniture legs, which is great. The Narwal Flow continues the tradition of Narwal bots successfully cleaning all the way under my kitchen table, navigating the chair legs and other obstacles. It helps that the bot is shorter than most, so it has no issue at all getting under the low bars and my other low furniture.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityDry debris is cleanly pulled from the bot after each session, storing the dust and leaves in the 2.5L vacuum bag in the base station. That multi-function base station also does a great job at cleaning the mop pad, using heat and air. For my wood floors, this is the best clean I've seen from any robot vacuum to date. In terms of mopping, the roller pad presses into the floor with 12N of downward force to buff away any dirt and grime that might have still existed on my floors. My hardwoods and tile are looking fantastic. The cleaning solution that Narwal creates has always worked well with my floors, which might change your results, but this is, without question, the best result from a Narwal bot that I’ve seen to date, and, in fact, the best I’ve seen from any robot vacuum, period.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthoritySadly, the base station does not have automatic detergent addition. You have to manually add the solution to the clean water canister each time you fill it. Speaking of, I’m having to refill the bucket (and empty and clean the used water bucket) for every 900 sqft of mopping. That’s just over two full cleanings of my space.Of course, the Flow has plenty of AI smarts baked in, too. I’ve been using the Freo Mind mode, which has been adjusting the cleaning strategy as it goes. The bot spends more or less time in certain areas based on previous cleaning needs, and may change up its flow, starting in one room or another, or cleaning edges first, then the middle. Narwal is still using its DirtSense technology, which very accurately detects the cleanliness of the water coming off the mop roller. The system overall knows how clean or dirty your space is by tracking the cleanliness of the roller at the time of cleaning in the base station. If the roller is too dirty, then the bot may go back out to clean again.Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityWhat matters most to me is that I cannot see any spots on my floor that the Flow has missed, and I do not have to go around after it to put things back in place that it’s run into or pushed around. Most modern high-end robot vacuums are really good at navigation, but the Narwal Flow stands out for precision.In terms of navigation, the absolute only thing I’ve seen that the Flow could improve on is how it handles closed doors. If the bot knows there’s a room behind that door, it’s a little pushy at trying to get in there. It does not run into the door if it’s completely closed, but if the door is just barely open, the Flow may try to push in. That was a startling experience when I was in the shower once, but it was worth the laugh.Narwal Flow specificationsRobotDimensions: 368 x 330 x 95 mm Functions✔ Sweeps ✔ Vacuums ✔ MopsNarwal Flow review verdict: Is it worth it?Jonathan Feist / Android AuthorityAt $1,499 MSRP, the Flow is definitely on the premium end of robot vacuum cleaners, but if I had the cash, I’d buy one as a gift for all of my family and friends. In particular, I know someone with three big dogs who is struggling to keep their floors clean. The Narwal Flow is the first bot I think can keep up with those slobbery beasts and their shedding hair.For the overall cleaning experience, I am reminded of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra ($1499.99 at Amazon) and the Roborock Saros 10R ($1599.99 at Amazon).The Freo Z Ultra is from an older generation of Narwal bots, which helped pave the way for what we get today.
