"significantly worse object avoidance than than the Dreame x40 and L40 ... The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."
"The X40 is so far ahead in the object avoidance realm that it's not even a contest. ... I have my Dreame X40 running at midnight every day and never have to worry about it getting stuck on something or caught on something because it's object avoidance works so well, even in the dark and on all surfaces. ... It stays clear of cat toys, cords, socks, paper towels and all sorts of random household junk. ... the fact that I can run the Dreame daily will keep my house cleaner."
"The obstacle avoidance is also very good and I only have the pet in house setting on for pet messes and it recognizes my fake dog poop all the time and drive around it."

"I run it once a day, and mop a couple times a week. ... In fact, my wet/dry floor vacuum just died so its pulling even more work right now as it's the only real mop I now have, other than a Swiffer."
"My GOD am I glad I did. I had no idea how much I had been missing! ... We have 2 dogs and a cat, and live more rural. That means dirty paws folks, and a lot of them. The mopping and vacuuming has been no short of amazeballs. Not amazing. Amazeballs."
"The current champ of perfectly sparkling clean floors. ... Have 5 dogs tracking in dirt all day? Run this mop and go eat off the floor. That's how clean it is. ... Step aside spinny & vibration mops, this constantly clean roller mop is the champ. ... The mopping ability is light-years ahead of the Curv. ... The continously cleaning of fresh water is where is truly unique. ... You will be delighted and shocked on how amazing this E28 is. Its truly incomparable to any roborock. Get ready to start eating off your floors 😁😉"

"It keeps up with all their hair, just needs more frequent dust bag replacements."
"The pockets of fur from my chihuahua is gone."
"i have a cat who sheds a lot plus a toddler, and i also shed a lot. ... hair is never an issue even though i have very long hair"

"It’s is SO MUCH more quiet than the s7 it ramped up the suction power from 4000 to 19000 yet I can let it clean my office room while being in a call now."
"Extremely quiet compared to our last one to the point where we can have it running while my partner is in work meetings (besides emptying water and dust bin, but that is 10 seconds of loud x 2)."
"pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps"

"This is a very hands off robot as it cleans the filter, the mops, and the base station for you. ... It’ll dry the dustbin, dustbag, and mops to prevent mildew from growing."
"I've had mine for 2.5 months and almost used daily, noone of it has happened to me, to me the unit seems like a rock solid design hardware wise, and the unit doesn't look remotely used. ... No clogs, no hair strands stuck, didn't need to clean the pads or the vacuum at all, looks brand new even after daily use."
"clean/dirty water tank ... washes mop with hot water ... dries it ... auto dispensers detergent"

"Whenever I do this with our 10R, I do find stuff in the dustbin, but there is never all that much. ... When the S8 goes through right afterwards, it's dustbin is completely full. The S8 that recleaned an already cleaned (by the 10R) room picks up five times as much stuff."
"All of the other Qrevo models use the same split single rollers with auto detangling as is used in the Saros 10R . None of the other Qrevo models will give you really good vacuuming performance. ... You can have a robovac with these rollers vacuum your house three times and it will not come out as clean as a dual roller model will the first time. ... The difference in vacuuming ability is immediately noticable when seen side by side."
"my X1 Plus is not [fine for ensuring that there's not visible cat hair/litter in my living room at any time]."

"The freo z is a good model but a water hog. You have to change the water so often that it's a deal-breaker for me. ... Now they have a kit so you can wire it to your water line and you don't have to change it anymore but that's 200 bucks."
"I can’t get it to mop at all because it keeps throwing an error saying the clean water tank is empty when it isn’t. ... I’ve swapped tanks with identical ones from other Narwal models, gone through every troubleshooting step, and still no luck. ... At this point I have no choice but to send it back and order a replacement"
"the Freo needed to be refilled ALL THE TIME. like, after every mop run. That’s refilling the clean water and dumping the dirty water. Hard pass."

"dustbin clogs of fur where there’s empty spaces on the side due to an inefficient dustbin design"
"One thing I’ll add is that it needs dust emptying much more frequently than other robots because its dust bin is smaller than typical."

"Now that we have kids it's even more work, we don't always tidy up each day, toys often stay outside, some have their permanent or semipermanent place on the floor (like the doll bed, bathtub, toilet and foodtable we all have on the carpet like it was a little house). ... I'd have to turn the entire kid's room into a no go zone and even then sometimes it will suck in a small toy underneath the couch or the table or wherever that I might have overlooked and then stop the entire cleaning job."
"My previous 11s max was replaced for bumping into things."
"it has ZERO navigation - bumping against walls and furniture is how it knows to turn around and go another direction. ... It absolutely will hit objects and walls. ... cleaning 175sf takes it about 40-60 minutes."

"Toe kick cleaning is in my experience non-existent. Maybe mine are too low, I'll have to clean those 2 inches by hand."
"Also treshold detection. It tends to ride up to them and not clean the inch next to the treshold because of that."
"Its edge cleaning also could be a lot better, I hardly ever see it do the twist."
I got one from Narval last month for around 20k, happy with the experience as of now
r/Frugal_Ind • Robotic vacuum cleaner recommendations? ->Narwal Is the only robot that even attempts to clean the baseboard but the only thing the frio z or x does is run a muff along it. It doesn't actually clean. It's a duster. And the frio x and z have some other problems. Notably they are water hogs and you have to refill the water all the time. After every single run.
r/RobotVacuums • Are there robot vacuums with a baseboard-cleaning functionality ->I just ordered a narwal. Expensive af, but I had accumulated enough Amazon reward points to pay for it. Anyway it’s supposed to be incredible at avoiding objects, and many of the newer ones are great as well. I have a Roomba that I’m replacing bc it’ll just run over socks and toys, etc.
r/BuyItForLife • Too many robot vacuum models… are they actually good and worth the money? ->Its a mostly fine robot but not a fan of their mapping software. Much better mapping and software options. Don't care how sophisticated a robot is if their software sucks.
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot vacuum right now? ->The basic and simple and frustrating issues with the Narwal software have been there now for well over a year. Problems that other redditors have posted over that time clearly show that timeline. Issues like mapping open concept spaces and having easy to use and manipulate split and merge lines have been solved years ago by other companies like Roborock and by Dreame. There is no excuse that Narwal - who has most definately been made aware of these issues long ago - has either chosen to ignore fixing 'merge/split' options (and more) or the current team is incapable of doing so. Agree. One day it may be fixed. One dayBut why should I wait when other companies have solved this issue a long time ago? Based on their current history of software development, I'm not holding my breath. If you're satisfied with their substandard software (and excellent robot build) that's fine. As a homeowner with a large open concept layout their mapping software is crap and pretty much renders using their robot useless unless I want to compromise how I use a Narwal. Something that is not an issue with Roborock or Dreame or Mova (and probably others also). So if a home has basically traditiona wall spaces.Sure. Narwal is great. If the layout is open concept. Then....Narwal no.
r/RobotVacuums • Best robot vacuum right now? ->Sure about that? I have a Narwal. It vacuums and mops. You can choose the floor type both for mopping and vacuuming and pick if you want a damp or wet mop. It’s WELL worth the money in my opinion
r/unpopularopinion • Robot vacuums are expensive and a waste of time. ->My Ecovacs X11 seems to map better than my Narwal, Dreame, and Roborock.
r/RobotVacuums • What brand should I buy or avoid if navigation and mapping is important? ->I’ve tried a bunch of robots. I think the Eufy e25/e28 are the best bang for your buck. They will go on for cheap on Black Friday. They rival models double their price. They are very strong at mopping, great obstacle avoidance and have fixed their water tank which left drops before. I don’t care what all the reviewers say online, the roller mop style is far superior to spinning pads. Eufy for some reason do not get great scores on vacuum wars but I stopped going to him for advice as he rates on ridiculous criteria. Eufy will get your floors as clean as mopping yourself. If you want, wait for the S2 Pro to come out in the new year, but it will cost likely twice as much as the e25. Keep in mind the e28 is super useful for the spot cleaner, but is much louder at emptying due to the design. Good luck Edit: I’ve used narwal and ecovacs and have been sorely disappointed. Good on paper but not in real life testing. They get stuck a lot and never make it back home
r/RobotVacuums • Help me pick a robot vacuum before I lose my mind ->We bought our first through Amazon because Costco didn't yet carry them- and thanks to Costco adding them, we now have one for each floor of the house. I absolutely love the feel of the floor on bare feet after using our Narwals!!
r/Costco • Recommendations for robot vac & mop ->Narwal is known for its obstacle avoidance though, and based on my experience that is very well deserved.
r/RobotVacuums • So, with more and more roller/belt robot vacuums coming out, how likely are you to stick with the Eufy S1 Pro? ->We have a Narwal which also mops. And a long haired cat. It’s amazing how much pet hair it collects. Goes under bed, cabinets etc, places your regular vacuum can’t. Totally worth it. Also works in uneven floors. Every pet owner should have a robot vacuum. You just need to make sure you remove light rugs, wires, etc from the floor before you run it. And of course, cat vomit. lol
r/Home • Robot vac for tile and hardwood ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
