The T80 Omni brings a roller mop and hot water dock to about $550, and Vacuum Wars measured excellent carpet and pet hair results. It fits mixed floor homes that want strong mopping without flagship pricing. Skip it if you need very low clearance or hands off detergent, and know that Vacuum Wars saw it freeze mid run a few times.

- Runtime
- Up to 190 min
One of the best mopping robots tested, with strong measured suction, zero hair tangles and a dock that washes and dries the track mop. Testers at TechRadar and Tom's Guide found the software and navigation quirky. Skip it if you want a simple app, and compare it against the Flow 2 since the Narwal store showed the Flow out of stock.

What reviewers found
Ecovacs Deebot T80 Omni
- Vacuum Wars (4.45 Vacuum Wars score): 89% embedded sand, 99% pet hair, 0% hair wrap, combined mop score 287 against a 171 average and about 1,200 sq ft per charge. It froze and stopped three times during testing. Source
- The Canberra Times (4/5): Sponsored partner review in Australia. Strong suction on carpet, good edges and no rescues needed, but test stains took several passes and it bumped furniture on the first run. Source
Narwal Flow
- Vacuum Wars (3.58 Vacuum Wars stars): Measured 1.88 kPa suction, 83% sand removal, 89% flattened pet hair pickup and 0% hair tangle. Combined mopping score was 268 against a 184 average, obstacle avoidance 18 of 24 and estimated coverage 2,068 sq ft per charge. Source
- TechRadar: Called the cleaning superb, especially on carpet, and hot water mopping excellent. Noise was 58 dB in quiet mode and 76 dB at top suction. It pushed a chair, failed to enter a room and once reported 0.0 square meters cleaned. Subscores: Value 4/5, Design 4.5/5, Performance 3.5/5, App 3.5/5. Source
- Tom's Guide: Pickup was 83% overall on tile and 77% on carpet, with 70% to 75% hair pickup. Noise ranged from 49 to 74 dB depending on floor and power. Faults were a tricky app, random cleaning incidents and so so edge vacuuming. Source
