Narwal Robot Vacuum and Mop

A relative newcomer to the world of robot vacuums, Narwal offers a sweeping and mopping hybrid that's pretty impressive. It's expensive and hindered by a slow, clunky learning-curve application.

Drop a sheet of detergent into the tank for clean water at the base station to mop. Then, it uses clean water to wand the pads and scrub floors using 10N pressure.

Features

The Narwal T10 robot vacuum can clean and scrub hard floors. Its innovative navigation and mapping system is based on simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology. It also comes with anti-collision, cliff-sensing and anti-collision technologies that to prevent the machine from falling down stairs or accidentally hitting furniture. It also detects and avoid rugs. This is a typical issue for many robot vacuums, mops and hybrids.

The robot is equipped with two large tanks of water: one for clean water and the other for dirty. Prior to a mopping cycle it will automatically head to its base station and pre-soaks its pads in clean water from the tank. During the mopping cycle sensors will notify you when it's time to swap pads and refill the water. It consumes 16 ounces of clean water, which is lower than the majority of similar robots.

The T10 will automatically dry the pads after you've cleaned them. This prevents cross-contamination. It will then resume mopping exactly where it began. This method makes it less necessary to perform hand washing by hand which is a major plus, as it protects your hands from germs and allergens. This self-cleaning feature is exclusive to Narwal because most competitors robots vac/mop hybrids just dunk their mop heads into buckets of dirty water.

The T10's mopping function is powered by a motor that rotates the pad three times per second. This gives a more thorough clean especially around corners and edges. The rotating pad and two side brushes sweep dirt, hair and debris into vacuum slots. This eliminates the necessity for a dustbin and is more environmentally sustainable than traditional vacuuming.

You can create an outline of your area and mark specific areas to mop or sweep. The app allows you to select the intensity of cleaning levels, including a thorough clean, which eliminates lingering debris and dirt for a more thorough job. You can also define "no-go" zones, which tell the robot to avoid area rugs or other obstacles.

Design

Robot vacuums can help keep your home clean, hygienic, and well-organized. They are able to reach and clean up areas that aren't accessible to traditional vacuums, like under furniture. They're also able to get rid of dirt, allergens and germs that can cause you to get sick. You can program them to clean according to a set schedule so that you don't have to worry about forgetting to do it. They can clean up places that aren't accessible to humans, like under the kitchen sink, and in the corners of your home. They're dust bunny eradicators and keep your floors clean of germs and dirt.

Narwal is distinct from other robot vacuums in that it's a mopping machine with a vacuuming function added on. Its massive water tanks allow it to clean vast areas of your flooring without having to worry about emptying the tank. It also has mopping modes that let you select various levels of intensity, to remove stubborn stains easily.

The robot's navigation is powered by LIDAR and SLAM technology that allows it to draw maps of your living space. It can make use of these maps to navigate around your home and draw out the path for cleaning in a zigzag pattern that ensures a thorough cleaning and avoids cross contamination. It also comes with anti-collision as well as cliff sensors to prevent it from colliding with your tables or falling down your stairs.

Like most robotic vacuums, the Narwal T10 can be controlled through the narwal app or using voice commands. It has a small circular LED screen that displays its current status, and two buttons that are touch-sensitive on either side of the screen control docking, map creation, and the ability to start and stop. You can alter your cleaning options and schedule mopping in the app.

It also comes with the option to switch between mopping and vacuuming modes, which is useful when your floors are filthy and you have to clean them up fast. It comes with a suction motor that is effective at cleaning up dirt and debris, although it has a difficult time to remove debris lodged in carpets and rugs.

Performance

The Narwal Freo is a fantastic robot that does a great job of cleaning hard floors. It has large water tanks that are easy to maintain and a variety mopping intensities. It is also able to clean small spills or messes from carpet. The vacuuming capabilities aren't quite as impressive, however. The suction power of 1,800Pa is a bit lower than more expensive robo-vacuums, such as the Roborock S6 MaxV Ultra.

The Freo's smart mapping and navigation technologies give it the ability to adjust to the environment and plan an optimized cleaning program. It makes use of simultaneous mapping and localization (SLAM) to create an outline of the area and then work in a zigzag style to prevent cross-contamination, and to ensure a consistent finish. This map can be shared with the Narwal application, allowing you to modify cleaning settings and set zones that are not allowed to be used.

Once the Freo is mapped and is able to continue cleaning the area it left. The mops of the Freo are self-cleaning, and return to their dock for rinsing after each use. This reduces time and it keeps hands from coming in contact with allergens and dirt. The Freo also helps conserve water by using just 16 oz of water for each mopping cycle, which is around the same amount as you'd find in a large-sized coffee mug.

The robot is able to easily change between vacuuming and mopping making it an ideal choice for those who have both types of floors in their homes. It has excellent sweeping capabilities and does a good job cleaning up pet hair and other particles. The Freo's dual side brushes allow it to get into corners more effectively than single-brush vacuums, and its cliff-sensing and anti-collision features assist in preventing it from slipping down staircases or hitting furniture.

The Narwal T10 is more expensive than most of its competitors and is still a reliable vacuum/mop combination. The Narwal T10's massive base station has two 1.3 gallon tanks that need to be replenished frequently. This can be a hassle especially if you're accustomed to the faster-filling tank designs of other robots. Its app is cluttered and uninspiring, and lacks the features for customization you'd expect of a robot that costs more.

App

The Narwal robot vacuum and mop is distinctive among other robovacs on the market. The T10 is a two-in-one self-cleaning device that was created from the ground up. While some models offer superior vacuuming abilities with a mopping feature, this was created to be a self cleaning two-in-one device. Its sweeping and mopping capabilities are extremely efficient and are easily controlled via the narwal app but it also has buttons on its base station that permit manual cleaning during the cleaning session.

The narwal i robot vacuum cleaner vacuum is powered by Lidar and SLAM technologies that make it one of the most advanced cleaning machines on the market. It makes use of its sensors to map out your home and then converts that information into a detailed cleaning plan for your floors. This is a great feature, as it helps the T10 to avoid getting lost in your home and to keep track of what it's doing.

Narwal also has the capability to create "no-go" zones. Create no-go zones within the app so that the T10 stay clear of certain areas during cleaning. This is useful if you want to avoid the T10 mopping or vacuuming on carpets in the area.

Its self-cleaning features are also impressive, since the T10 will frequently return to its docking station to wash and resoak its mopping pads. The pad cleaning system prevents you from dunking your mop in dirty water, and keeps it free of germs between mopping sessions.

The narwal mops are designed with a unique triangular shape which covers a larger area and offers a more efficient cleaning in tight corners and spaces. The dual side brushes also assist in trapping hair and dirt and take it off the floor before it may clog your vacuum or drain your battery.

Narwal is different from other robotic vacuums because it does not have a powerful beater that can remove dirt and debris from carpets. Instead, it uses advanced sensors to recognize and clean hard surfaces such as wet spots or stains. The narwal vacuum and mop is also extremely energy efficient which makes it a great choice for Narwal Robot Vacuum late-night cleaning. The motor is also quieter due to its efficiency.
