- Suction
- 24,800 Pa
- Navigation
- Mini ToF laser
- Mopping
- Yes
- Runtime
- 6,400 mAh battery
A strong value pick for carpet and pet hair, with the highest sealed suction in Vacuum Wars' comparison and perfect hair results. It trails the T90 Pro Omni on navigation, mopping and thresholds, so at current prices the T90 is the better buy unless its deal ends. Skip it if your home has raised thresholds.

- dToF LiDAR inside
- Mopping
- FlowWash track mop
- 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 T80S Omni
- Vacuum Wars (3.92/5): Measured 2.44 kPa suction, 91% carpet sand removal, 100% pet hair pickup, 0% hair wrap, 21 of 24 obstacles avoided and a 30.5 combined mopping score; navigation was below average at 0.62 sq m per minute and it cleared 19 mm. Source
- CyberShack (4/5): Strong pickup and close wall mopping, but it drove into a water bowl, could not reliably climb 3 cm bathroom thresholds and sometimes spilled debris while emptying. 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
