Narwal Flow 2
Narwal's 2026 flagship with a hot water track mop and strong obstacle avoidance
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 23, 2026
We started tracking this price on Oct 24, 2026 and have not found a past sale price yet, so we cannot say if $1,300 is a good deal. Black Friday is Nov 27, 2026, 31 days away, when robots in this category usually get their biggest cuts. Get a price drop alert.
A well rounded flagship for homes with pets and mostly hard floors. Vacuum Wars measured strong suction, no hair wrap and good obstacle avoidance, and its retest after a firmware update rated the mopping well above average. Tom's Guide was less impressed with edges and corners, and the 3.74 in body will not fit under the lowest furniture.
Best for: pet homes with mostly hard floors. Skip if: you need a robot under 3.5 in tall.

What independent reviewers found
- Lab tests found 84% sand removal from carpet, 88% flattened pet hair pickup, 0% hair wrap and 20 of 24 obstacles avoided; a retest after a firmware update put mopping well above average, but the studio vacuum and mop run lasted only 38 minutes.
- Vacuum Wars · 3.88/5
- Picked up 100% of kitty litter on both floors, 100% of pet hair on hardwood and 80% on carpet, but only 30% and 20% of cereal; reviewer said edges and corners need manual cleaning and it does not live up to its price.
- Tom's Guide
- Cleaned about 1,300 sq ft with back to back vacuum and mop passes without stopping to recharge; reviewer rated it roughly equal to the Roborock Saros 20 but noted the taller body.
- 9to5Google

Questions buyers ask
How often do I change the dust bag?
Narwal says a 2.5 L bag lasts up to 120 days in a home without pets and about 90 days with pets.
Will it fit under my couch?
Narwal lists the robot at 3.74 in (95 mm) tall, so you need about 3.8 in of clearance.
Does it work with Matter?
Vacuum Wars lists Matter support, but Narwal's product page only names Siri, Alexa and Google Assistant, so check before you rely on it.
Can I use any floor cleaner?
Reviewed says it needs Narwal's own cleaning solution, which costs $29.99 a bottle.
