Advanced Cleaning Technology
The Narwal Flow introduces the innovative FlowWash Mopping System with EdgeReach Technology, utilizing dual water tanks for real-time self-cleaning. This system ensures that clean water is always used for mopping while dirty water is separately collected, addressing a common complaint about robotic mops reusing contaminated water. The extending mop pad reaches wall edges and corners, traditionally challenging areas for robotic cleaners.
AI-Powered Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance
Equipped with dual RGB cameras and a high-performance AI chip, the Flow can identify and navigate around more than 200 different types of objects. This Twin-AI system represents a significant advancement in robotic navigation, allowing the device to adapt to various home environments and avoid potential hazards. The system can automatically adjust its height to traverse barriers up to 40mm high, ensuring comprehensive cleaning coverage throughout the home.
Key Specifications:
- Suction Power: Up to 20,000Pa
- Obstacle Clearance: 40mm height
- AI Detection: 200+ object types
- Maintenance-free Operation: 120 days
- Base Station: 8-in-1 functionality
Carpet Cleaning Capabilities
The Flow features Deep Carpet Boost technology that combines counter-directional movement with adaptive brushing. When encountering carpeted surfaces, it automatically increases suction power up to 20,000Pa. The Zero-Tangle Cleaning Solution claims 99.9% efficiency in preventing hair tangles, addressing one of the most common maintenance issues in robot vacuums.
Revolutionary Base Station
The 8-in-1 multifunction base station is designed for extended autonomous operation, capable of managing cleaning tasks for up to 120 days without human intervention. It handles dust emptying, mop washing and drying, and water tank refilling automatically. This extended maintenance-free period sets a new standard for autonomous cleaning solutions.
Availability and Pricing
The Narwal Flow is scheduled for release in June 2025, though pricing details remain undisclosed. It will join Narwal's expanded lineup, which includes the Freo Z10 (USD $1,099) launching in April 2025, the more affordable Freo Pro (USD $699) arriving in March 2025, and the Narwal S30 handheld vacuum mop (USD $649) releasing in Q2 2025.
