Narwal Robot Vacuum and Mop

Narwal is a relative newcomer in the market for robot vacuums. It's a sweeper/mopping hybrid that is pretty impressive. It's expensive and hindered by a clunky, steeply learning-curve application.

To mop, you drop a sheet of detergent into the base station's water tank that is clean. Then, it spins the pads with clean water, scouring floors using 10N of pressure.

The following are some examples of

The Narwal T10 robot vacuum can clean and scrub hard floors. Its innovative navigation and mapping system is based upon simultaneous localization (SLAM) technologies. It also features anti-collision, cliff-sensing, and anti-collision technologies that can keep the machine from falling down a staircase or accidentally hitting furniture. It can also identify and avoid rugs. This is a common issue for many robot vacuums, mops and hybrids.

The robot has two huge water tanks, one for clean and one for dirty. It automatically pre-soaks the pads in clean water before a mopping session. During the mopping procedure, sensors will alert you when it's time to replace the pads and refill the water. It uses 16 ounces of clean water, which is lower than the majority of similar robots.

After you've cleaned the dirt off the mop pads the T10 returns to its base station and auto-dries them to prevent cross-contamination. Then, it resumes its mopping task where it left off. This method reduces the need for manual hand washing which is a huge benefit, since it protects your hands from allergens and bacteria. This feature is exclusive to Narwal. The majority of robot vac/mop hybrids simply put their mop heads into buckets of dirty sand.
