"I have been very impressed with its obstacle avoidance."


"Narwal is known for its obstacle avoidance though, and based on my experience that is very well deserved."


"The Narwal sensors have "pet detection" so it will stop when it sees my dog in its path."

"Of my robots, the Narwal maintains the cleanest base station and mop pads. ... That's their trademark (because using lots of water to wash works!) and I suspect the Flow will continue that trend."


"the Narwal will have the best smart cleaning mode and mopping ... Z50 is going to be a much better mopping robot than the ecovacs and eufy robots with a roller mop"


"the narwal can sense if the area isnt clean yet and go back and clean it ... if it goes back to finish and leaves a cleaner surface than a single pass during a typical mop session from a different vac, the end result is the narwal will leave the area cleaner."

"I've never once had the roller clog with hair. ... It's got a tapered roller and apparently this is successful in keeping hair from getting tangled."


"they do great with tangle-free tech ... My Freo Z never has this problem."


"I have 3 cats and two Narwhal robovacs, and they are a godsend for pet fur and tracked litter."

"With the plumbing kit it just sits in the laundry, drives itself out, cleans the house, then returns to the base station to clean its own mop pads, empty the vacuum bin and recharge. Then it does it all again the next day."


"NarWal’s base station will be the easiest to clean and is easily compatible with a water exchanging module that can be hooked up to your water line."

"tanks need to be refilled more often."


"the narwal models are great for mopping, but are very water inefficient compared to other models with an onboard water tank."


"I suspect, like the Freo Z, the Flow will use a ton of water to keep the track-style mop clean and require refilling after every 1 or 2 uses."

"While I had it, it would ram full force into things in a way that was almost comical."


"I like my Narwal but it has gotten stuck on a pretty common Ikea chair. That really surprised me."

"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 just replaced my J7 and Narwal last week (2 of them). I had the M6 prior and it's simply awful. I got the Eufy e28. It's terrific. I know that you had issues years ago, but they came a long way. I've cleaned my entire house 4 or 5 times, and it barely used any water. I think that it should last weeks before refilling.

I just got the E28 to replace an iRobot J7 and Narwal T10. I have zero regret. The Eufy is superior in every way. The Narwal just kind of spreads dirt around. The only dirt it picks up is whatever sticks to the mop pads. The Eufy actually cleans.

Check out the narwhal, some of them can also mop and it will go clean the mop brushes when they’re dirty and then keep going

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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!

I only have roombas and a Narwal but the Narwal is also extremely quiet at low suction. Pretty irrelevant, but I would wonder how the two would compare.

I am very interested in the Matic from a tech POV but it seems to early to lock in into one. Both tech wise and company future-wise. They're not available in Canada yet, which makes that reasoning a lot easier. I think the Narwal is doing pretty well. Cat toys are always tricky. Some are so close to dust bunnies that it'll lead to false negatives not picking up dust bunnies.

Consider Narwal. I bought one for each of my two floors and they performed extremely well.

We like our Z Ultra. Brought this one nearly 8 months ago. Narwal always shows a great performance in mopping. And the quietness is a bonus.
