Narwal Robot Vacuum and Mop

Narwal is a relative newcomer in the market for robot vacuums. It's a sweeping/mopping hybrid that's pretty impressive. It's expensive and hindered by a slow, clunky learning-curve application.

To mop, you place an ointment sheet into the base station's clean water tank. Then it wands the pads with clean water, scrubbing floors with 10N of 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 features anti-collision, cliff-sensing, and anti-collision technologies that help to prevent the machine from falling down stairs or accidentally hitting furniture. Additionally, it is able to detect and avoid rugs, which can be a common issue for many hybrid robot vacuums and mops.

The robot is equipped with two large water tanks, one for clean and one for dirty. When it's time to mop it will automatically head to its base station and pre-soaks its pads with the clean water from the tank. During the mopping process sensors will notify you when it's time to change the pads and refill water. It requires 16 ounces of water which is less water than other robots.

Once you've cleaned the dirt off the mop pads, the T10 returns to its base station and auto-dry them to avoid cross-contamination. Then, it resumes the mopping work from where it began. This eliminates the need for hand washing by hand which is a huge benefit, since it shields your hands from allergens and bacteria. This self-cleaning function is unique to Narwal since most rival robot vacuums and mops simply dip their mop heads into buckets of dirty water.

The T10's mopping function is powered by a motor that turns the pad three times per second. This provides an even more thorough cleaning, especially in corners and edges. The rotating pad comes with dual side brushes to clean hair, dirt and debris into the vacuum slot. This eliminates the dust bin and is much more eco-friendly than traditional cleaning.

The app lets you draw an image of your space that allows you to mark areas for both sweeping and mopping. The app also lets you to select the intensity of cleaning levels, including a thorough clean that removes any dirt and other debris that has accumulated to ensure a thorough job. You can also create "no-go zones" to instruct the robot not to walk over area rugs or other obstacles.

Design

Robot vacuums can help keep your home clean, hygienic, and tidy. They are able to reach and clean areas that traditional vacuums cannot reach, like under furniture. They can also eliminate dirt, allergens and germs that may make you sick. They can be programmed to clean on a schedule and you don't have to think about how to do it yourself. They can clean areas that aren't accessible to humans, like under the kitchen sink, and in the corners of your home. They're dust bunnies' eradicators and keep your floors clean of germs and dirt.

Narwal is different from other robot vacuums on market, as it's more of a mopping machine with an added vacuuming feature. The large water tanks enable it to mop large areas of the floor without having to worry about emptying the tank. It also has mopping options that let you choose between different levels of intensity making it possible to get rid of difficult stains with ease.

The robot's navigation relies on LIDAR and SLAM technologies that allow it to create maps for your home. It then uses those maps to guide it around your home, drawing out a zig-zag cleaning route which ensures a thorough clean and avoids cross-contamination. It also has anti-collision sensors as well as cliff sensors to prevent it from hitting tables or falling down the stairs.

Narwal T10 is controlled by voice commands or the Narwal app as do most robotic vacuums. It features a small, round LED screen that displays its current status and two touch-sensitive buttons on either side control docking mapping, map creation, as well as the beginning and stopping. The app is where you can alter your cleaning settings and set up scheduled mopping.

It also has a button that allows you to switch between mopping and vacuuming modes. This is useful for those who have floors that are dirty and need to clean them fast. It's got an 1800-pa motor that is efficient in sucking up dirt however, it isn't able to remove dust from carpets and rugs.

Performance

The Narwal Freo is a great robot that does a fantastic job of cleaning hard floors. Its huge water tanks are easy to maintain, and it comes with a range of mopping intensities. It also has the ability to clean small spills and messes from carpet. The vacuuming abilities are less impressive. Its vacuum power of 1,800Pa is lower than the more expensive robovacuums like the Roborock MaxV Ultra.

The use of smart technology for navigation and mapping enables the Freo to adapt to the area and plan a cleaning schedule that is optimized. It utilizes simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to build a map of its surroundings. It works in a zig-zag fashion to ensure a uniform finish and avoid cross-contamination. It is then able to share this map through the narwal application, which allows you to modify cleaning settings and set no-go zones to keep it from mopping or vacuuming certain areas.

Once it's marked, once it's mapped, the Freo can then automatically resume cleaning right where it left off. Its mops are self-cleaning, and they return to their dock after each use for rinsing and drying. This helps to save time and keeps hands away from allergens and dirt. The Freo also conserves water by using just 16 oz of water for each mopping cycle, which is about what you'd get in a large-sized coffee mug.

This robot is able to switch between vacuuming and mopping, so it's an ideal choice for those who have both types of flooring in their homes. Its sweeping abilities are superb and it does a great job of picking up dust, pet hair, and other debris. Dual side brushes on the Freo let it get into corners more efficiently than single brush vacuums. Its cliff-sensing, anticollision and anti-stuck functions also assist in avoiding getting stuck or hitting furniture.

While it's a decent vacuum/mop combination However, the Narwal T10 is pricier than most of its competition. Its base station is home to two 1.3 gallon tanks that require frequent refilling. This can be very frustrating, especially if your robot has a tank that fills faster. Its app is also a mess and a hassle and doesn't have the same features of customization that you'd expect from a more expensive robot.

App

The Narwal robot mop and vacuum is distinctive among other robovacs available. While many others boast impressive mopping and vacuuming capabilities, with a mopping feature added on the T10 was developed as a self-cleaning two-in-one machine from the bottom up. 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 allow for mopping and vacuuming manual optimization mid-cleaning session.

The narwal robot vacuum is powered by Lidar and SLAM technologies that make it one of the most intelligent cleaning machines available. It uses its sensors to determine the layout of your home and then converts that information into a detailed cleaning schedule for your floors. This is an impressive feature that helps the T10 avoid getting lost and track its activities while working in your home.

Narwal also has the ability to mark "no-go" zones. If you want the T10 to skip over certain areas, simply mark them as no-go zones within the app and it will not be able to avoid them during cleaning sessions. This is helpful if have rugs in areas that you don't want the T10 to mop or vacuum on.

The T10's auto-cleaning feature is also impressive. It will periodically return to its docking station to clean and resoak all mopping pads. The cleaning system for pads prevents you from soaking your mop in dirty water and keeps it clean between mopping sessions.

The narwal mop is made with a triangular design that covers a greater area, and allows to provide a more thorough clean in small spaces and corners. The two side brushes assist catch dirt and hair and then remove them from the floor so that they don't get stuck in your vacuum, or drain the battery.

Narwal is different from other robotic vacuums in that it does not come with an effective beater to take dirt and debris off carpets. Instead, it relies on its advanced sensors to detect and clean difficult surfaces like stains or wet spots. The narwal vacuum and mop robot vacuum is also highly energy-efficient and is a good option for cleaning late at night. The high-efficiency motor also minimizes noise output.
