Narwal irobot robot vacuum Vacuum and Mop

A relative newcomer to the robotic vacuum market, Narwal offers a sweeping and mopping hybrid that's pretty impressive. It's expensive and hindered by a clunky, steeply learning curve application.

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

Features

The Narwal T10 br151 robot vacuum vacuum can clean and scrub hard floors. Its smart navigation and mapping system is built on simultaneous localization (SLAM) technologies. It also has anti-collision and cliff sensing technologies that help stop the machine from accidentally crashing into furniture or falling down stairs. It can also recognize and avoid rug. This is a typical issue for many robot vacuums, mops and hybrids.

The robot has two huge tanks of water, one for clean water and another for dirty. When it's time to mop, it automatically goes to its base station and soaks its pads with clean water from the tank. During the mopping process, sensors will alert you when it is time to change the pads and refill the water. It consumes 16 ounces of clean water, which is less than most similar robots.

Once you've wiped the dirt off the mop pads the T10 returns to its base station, and will auto-dry them to avoid cross-contamination. It will then resume mopping the area it began. This eliminates the necessity of washing your hands manually which is a great thing since it shields you from germs and allergens. This self-cleaning feature is exclusive to Narwal since most rival robot vacuums and mops simply dip their mop heads in buckets of dirty water.

The T10's mopping feature is driven by a motor that rotates the pad three times per second. This provides an extra thorough clean especially around corners and around edges. The rotating pad and the dual side brushes sweep dirt, hair and debris into vacuum slots. This eliminates the requirement for a dustbin, and is more environmentally green than traditional vacuuming.

The app lets you draw an outline of your area and allows you to define areas for sweeping and mopping. You can also select the cleaning intensity, Robot vacuum and mop such as a deep clean that removes dirt and other debris for a thorough job. You can also create "no-go zones" to tell the robot not to go over area rugs and other obstacles.

Design

Robot vacuums are a vital household appliance that can help keep your home clean and tidy. They're able to reach and clean areas which are not accessible to traditional vacuums, for instance under the furniture. They can also eliminate dirt, germs and allergens that could make you sick. They can be programmed to clean on a schedule and so you don't need to worry about remembering to clean it yourself. They can clean areas that aren't accessible to humans, like under the kitchen sink or in the corners of your home. They're dust bunny eradicators and keep your floors clean of germs and dirt.

Narwal is different from other robot vacuums because it's a mopping device with a vacuuming function that is added. Its large water tanks allow it to mop large areas of floor without having to worry about the need to empty the tank. It also has mopping modes that let you choose between various levels of intensity, to remove difficult stains with ease.

The robot's navigation is based on LIDAR and SLAM technologies, which enable it to create maps for your home. It can utilize these maps to navigate itself around your home and create an zigzag path to clean that guarantees an efficient cleaning and prevents cross contamination. It also comes with anti-collision sensors and cliff sensors to stop it from crashing into tables or falling down the stairs.

Narwal T10 is controlled by voice commands or the Narwal app as do most robotic vacuums. It has a small circular LED display that shows its current status and two buttons with touch sensors on either side control docking maps, docking, and starting and stopping. The app allows you to adjust your cleaning settings and arrange scheduled mopping.

It also has a switch to switch between mopping and Robot vacuum and mop vacuuming modes. This is a great feature when you have dirty floors and require cleaning them quickly. It is equipped with an 1800-pa motor that is adept in sucking up dirt but struggles to remove debris from carpets and rug.

Performance

The Narwal Freo is an awesome robot that does a great job of cleaning hard floors. Its huge water tanks are easy to maintain, and it comes with a variety of mopping intensity settings. It also has the ability to clean small spills or messes from carpet. The vacuuming abilities are less impressive. Its suction power of 1,800Pa is a bit lower than more expensive robo-vacuums, like the Roborock S6 MaxV Ultra.

The Freo's intelligent mapping and navigation technologies give it the ability to adjust to a space and plan an efficient cleaning schedule. It makes use of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) to create a map of its surroundings. It works in a zig-zag fashion to ensure a uniform finish and avoid cross-contamination. It can then share this map with the narwal app, so you can alter cleaning settings and set no-go zones to keep it from sweeping or mopping certain areas.

Once it's identified once it's mapped, the Freo can automatically begin cleaning where it left off. The mops of the Freo are self-cleaning and return to their docks to rinse after each use. This reduces time and keeps hands away from dirt and allergens. The Freo also helps conserve water by using only 16 ounces of water each mopping cycle, which is around what you'd get in a grande-sized coffee cup.

The robot is able to easily change from mopping to vacuuming. It's a great choice for those who have both in their home. It has excellent sweeping abilities and is effective in picking up pet hair and other particles. The Freo's dual side brushes permit it to reach into corners better than single-brush vacs. Additionally, its cliff-sensing and anti-collision features aid in keeping it from getting stuck on stairs or running into furniture.

The Narwal T10 is more expensive than its competition however, it is a great vacuum/mop combination. Its large base station is house to two 1.3 gallon tanks that require frequent refilling. This can be frustrating especially if you're accustomed to the tanks that fill faster of other robots. The application is also messy and frustrating, and it doesn't offer the kind of customization features that you'd expect from a more expensive robot.

App

The Narwal robot vacuum and mop is a standout among the other robovacs on the market. While the majority of them boast excellent mopping and vacuuming capabilities, with a mopping feature added on the T10 was created to be a self-cleaning two-in-1 machine from the beginning. Its mopping, sweeping and other features are very efficient and easy to manage via the narwal mobile app. Buttons on the base station permit manual adjustments mid-cleaning.

The Narwal robot 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 converts this data into a precise floor plan for cleaning. This is a great feature because it assists the T10 to avoid getting lost in your home and to keep track of what it's doing.

Another unique feature of the Narwal is that it can map out "no-go zones." Create no-go zones within the app so that the T10 avoid certain areas during cleaning. This is useful if you want to avoid the T10 vacuuming or mopping on carpets in the area.

Its self-cleaning features are also impressive, since the T10 will frequently return to its docking station to flush out and resoak its 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 also designed with a triangular shape that covers a larger and allows for a thorough cleaning in small spaces and corners. The two side brushes assist catch dirt and hair and remove them from the floor so that they don't get stuck in your vacuum or cause battery drain.

Unlike most other robotic vacuums unlike other models, the Narwal does not come with a powerful beater bar that is able to dislodge dirt and debris that have accumulated in carpets. Instead it relies on its sophisticated sensors to identify and clean hard surfaces such as wet spots and stains effortlessly. The narwal vacuum and mop is also highly energy-efficient, making it an ideal option for cleaning late at night. The high-efficiency motor also minimizes the amount of noise it produces.
