How This Robotic Vac Makes Mopping Feel Like a Perfect Swim

A good cleaning routine is a lot like a great swim. It’s all about rhythm, glide, and flow – smooth motion, steady pace, and focus working together to turn effort into effortless calm. And if you’d told us ten years ago that a robot could embody all three – vacuuming carpets, deep-cleaning with fresh heated water, and emptying itself afterwards – we probably would’ve laughed and grabbed a pool brush. But here we are, and the Narwal Flow is making it a reality.

Narwal has long been a leader in smart home cleaning, but the Flow is its most ambitious evolution yet. This isn’t just a vacuum or a mop – it’s a robot that glides through your home in three precise, fluid phases, delivering a deep clean that would make Michael Phelps proud of.

The Three Strokes of Flow

The Crawl
Every swim starts with strong strokes, and for the Narwal Flow, that’s mopping that actually mops. The FlowWash system infuses fresh 45–80°C water in real time, scrubbing with 12N of pressure to lift dried-on grime while sucking up dirty water into a separate tank. No streaks, no smears, no muddy residue – just sparkling floors.

Even corners and skirting boards get the full treatment. With its mop head reaching within 0.19 inches of walls and angled nozzles hitting every edge, Flow ensures every surface – from open waters to tight nooks – is immaculate.

The Breathing Stroke
Like a swimmer timing breaths to power through a lap, suction drives Flow’s second phase: vacuuming. CarpetFocus automatically detects rugs and adjusts suction up to 22,000Pa. Pet hair, dust, embedded debris – nothing is left behind.

The DualFlow Tangle-Free System stops hair from tangling around rollers. Side brushes flex, rollers resist tangles, and Flow glides effortlessly across floors, keeping the pace steady and smooth.

The Glide
Perfect swimming is all about flow, and Narwal’s “Intelligent Flow” makes cleaning effortless. Using “Bionic Human-Eye Perception,” the robot recognises over 200 objects – from cables and shoes to pet bowls and stray Lego – adapting its plan to suit each surface. Hardwood, tiles, and rugs all get tailored care, so no pass is wasted.

When the job’s done, Narwal Flow returns to base, empties into a 2.5L dust bag lasting up to 120 days, washes mop heads with hot water, and pre-dries waste to prevent odours. All you do is press start – or ask Alexa, Google Assistant, or Siri to dive in for you.

The Final Lap

At $2,999, the Narwal Flow is an investment – but it rewards you with more than spotless floors: time, ease, and peace of mind. It’s a vacuum, mop, and carpet cleaner in perfect synchrony, gliding through your home so you feel like an Olympic medal winner.
