"With the plumbing kit it just sits in the laundry, drives itself out, cleans the house, then returns to the base station to clean its own mop pads, empty the vacuum bin and recharge. Then it does it all again the next day."

"tanks need to be refilled more often."
"the narwal models are great for mopping, but are very water inefficient compared to other models with an onboard water tank."
"I suspect, like the Freo Z, the Flow will use a ton of water to keep the track-style mop clean and require refilling after every 1 or 2 uses."
We have a freo pro and I swear it looks like it tries to go over something, fails, scoots back, then runs fast to go over, success in the end.
I‘ve got a Freo X, and I really like it, so I’d recommend Narwal to you. Their new Freo Pro looks like it‘s got an upgraded side brush for better anti-tangling. Narwal does good at handling pet fur and preventing tangles. Hope that helps!
There’s also the Narwal Freo Pro at a similar price but you’d need to lug the base station between floors if you want it to mop on both floors since the robot lacks an internal water tank. I have seen posts of Narwal robots jumping off stairs which means it’s always important to set no go zones for the stair zone once you’ve mapped your home.
How tall is the piece of transition? For a single one up to 30mm, the roborock models with the AdaptiLift chassis (the most expensive QRevo Curv/Edge and the Saros line). Anything higher up to 4.2cm, if a threshold is less than 9cm long (5.2cm if it is at least 9cm long), will need the Dreame X50 Ultra or any equivalent MOVA model (V50 Ultra). I am aware that Dreame's L/X50 Ultra and any model (such as MOVA's V50 Ultra or the rare UK-only Dreame L40s Pro Ultra) that uses dual conical brushes has a *live fur compression* feature (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOOU0uJsVdU), which helps mitigate the issue of pet fur clogging the dustbin, even though the space isn't fully utilized. I saw it in action, and I think it lives up to its claim. It also cleans its filter when auto-emptying. This should be helpful for homes with heavy shedders such as yours\~ For paw prints, I think a robot that can identify messes like this and act accordingly would be important too. Dreame and Narwal do well with this if you turn on certain functions, such as their smart cleaning mode and intelligent mess detection.
The MOVA will be better at vacuuming and the Narwal will have the best smart cleaning mode and mopping but vacuuming isn’t as good as the MOVA and tanks need to be refilled more often.
Yep the narwal models are great for mopping, but are very water inefficient compared to other models with an onboard water tank. There's also the MOVA V50 Ultra with mop pads that can tilt which is good for uneven tile floors.
It is mainly a result of confirmation bias, and most online posts are subject to the self-selecting bias. Many well-made robot vacuums can go much longer, and so even well-made combo vacuum and mop robots are still lasting well. Brands I'd go for: Dreame can have well built robots (I'd avoid the aqua 10 roller for now as there seems to be a design flaw) customer service depends heavily on region and there's mixed feedback regarding this; Eufy has generally solid customer service all around; MOVA seems to have pretty solid build quality, other than the p50 for the NA market (broken front wheel) and the z50 (docking issue due to a design flaw>), solid customer service seems to be better than dreame's even though they're serviced by the same group as dreame owns MOVA; Narwal which hasbuild quality seems to be pretty good with some reporting it still worked flawlessly even though it fell off a flight of stairs because their cliff sensors are a bit weird, customer service reviews are mixed; Roborock which has build quality seems to be solid overall but obstacle avoidance is their only flaw, mixed reviews of customer service from very negative to very positive); and Xiaomi which has generally solid build quality and customer service for its price (I bought from them before and when something got stuck in the wheel where I couldn't reach it, they fixed it and shipped it back in a week).
You are spoiled for options. Dreame, ecovacs, mova, and Narwal have roller mop robots. I’d narrow it down to mova and Narwal imo. Dreame’s Aqua 10 roller robots are clearly based off the MOVA Z60 ultra roller complete (MOVA is a subbrand of dreame but they have completely different R&D teams) but with less downwards force when mopping (dreame does 9-12N and MOVA currently exerts the highest downwards force at 17N). I have seen some people report that their Z60 Ultra Roller’s autoempty port gets clogged with fur but I haven’t had this happen at all after it has cleaned 43,000sqft and I have a long haired corgi that sheds all the time. Narwal is also a good choice with a track type mop exerting 12N but it lacks a detergent tank in the base station so you’d need to manually add the detergent when you refill the clean water tank (up to you to decide how important that is). MOVA did send me their v50 ultra complete and the Z60 ultra complete to review as part of their Reddit collaboration program. Both did great removing overnight dried on kitchen grease in one go. The z60 ultra roller was able to get rid of splattered dog friendly ice cream left by my dog with most of it gone in 1 pass and totally squeaky clean in the second pass. My review of the Z60 ultra roller complete is being finalized~~~
For spinning mops, the roborock ones are very very plush which is good for textured floor. The Narwal robots are even better at mopping textured floors since it has even thicker mops but it uses a lot more water compared to those with internal water tanks like the roborock qrevo.
If referring to the Narwal robots using only structured light, yes. If referring to the RGB camera enabled Narwal robots, they’re absolutely wrong. Narwal’s computer vision and their AI smart cleaning mode is one of the leading ones with roborock trailing in this area.
Prime day about to hit. I got the freo pro last prime day for $360.
I love it. I feel like the mid range with these things is the sweet spot; best blend of bang for your buck. It doesn't have true obstacle avoidance so I just do a quick pickup before I have it auto run every night.
I like my Freo Pro, looks pretty solid with cleaning.
I have my Freo Pro and I like it... Hair issue always bothering me. After my 2 weeks of using, the brush does not seem to tangle at all.
I have the Narwal Freo Pro and I like it...
I’ve been using the Narwal Freo Pro, and I’m really impressed. It’s incredibly efficient on hardwood floors and does a fantastic job with both vacuuming and mopping.

I got the Narwal Freo Pro after a lot of research, and it's been a real game-changer in my home. It handles a mix of hardwood and tile floors with ease, and it's been particularly good at dealing with pet hair and occasional messes on the rugs. The smart navigation helps it avoid getting stuck on socks or other obstacles. The self-cleaning station is a huge time-saver, as it takes care of the mopping pads for you.

I totally get what you're looking for! I've been in the same boat, and the Narwal Freo Pro has been a game-changer for me. It handles pet hair really well with its tangle-free brushes and has great obstacle avoidance, so it doesn't get stuck on toys or run over everything like my old vacuum did.

During Prime Day, the Narwal Freo Pro is often discounted, making it an even more attractive option within your $800 budget. It's a solid investment that will keep your floors clean without any hassle.
Narwal Freo Pro is the safest bet: vacuum-only mode keeps the floor dry, you can tell it to run with the grain, and the floating roller won’t leave a single scuff. Maybe you can also focus your eyes on Narwal Flow, track mop design is perfectly makes me appreciate.
Your house is absolutely robot-ready. I have bought Narwal Freo Pro since I meet cleaning problem. its 8500 Pa zero-tangle roller devours Husky fluff, LiDAR-plus-camera dodges scattered cat beds. Or you can focus on the latest version Narwal Flow—Don't miss out the revolutionary FlowWash Mopping System.
Narwal Freo Pro is the one to get. Its 8500 Pa suction lifts dirt from dense wool carpets while the AI DirtSense sensor keeps porcelain tiles spotless. And it's price is friendly to low budget people.
Maybe you can consider Narwal Freo Pro. 8500Pa suction and zero-tangle roller eats three-cat tumbleweeds, triple-map memory handles your split-level, and its AI camera dodges hairballs like a champ. And the price is much lower than your budget. If you want to get a latest version, Narwal Flow is the good choice you don't miss out.
I purchased the Narwal Freo Pro, and it's been a great addition to my home. The self-cleaning station is a standout feature, automatically washing and drying the mop, so you only need to add fresh water and remove dirt every few days. It handles pet hair and messes well and avoids obstacles effectively. Plus, it operates quietly, making it perfect for daily use. If you’re looking for a reliable and efficient robot vacuum, the Narwal Freo Pro is a fantastic choice. By the way, I heard that Narwal is preparing to launch a new model called the Narwal Flow. It’s supposed to have some really cool upgrades and improvements. Definitely something to look forward to if you’re in the market for a new robot vacuum!
I got Narwal Freo Pro and haven’t looked back. It vacuums every crumb, lifts its mops 12 mm when it feels carpet, and the AI camera spots toys before it bulldozes them. Meanwhile, you can also wait for the new product Narwal Flow, which I heard has many upgraded features.
I picked up Narwal Freo Pro for my own, and it’s been the sweet spot between price and hassle-free living. It vacuums like it’s mad at the dust, the mopping plates spin and lift over my two short rugs without soaking them. After three weeks it already feels like the old “should I vacuum today?” debate never existed. By the way, Narwal Flow is coming, maybe you can get some informations on their social media.
Maybe you can consider Narwal Flow—22,000 Pa zero-tangle roller, LiDAR-plus-camera that side-steps toys and chargers, and pads that lift on carpet so you can run it while the baby naps; If your budget is not enough, I think you can focus your eyes on Freo Pro that I have bought it and felt appreciate.
My Narwal Freo Pro is perfect for pet hair and mopping wood floors. It handles wires well and has separate vacuum/mop modes. Maybe you can learn more about it
I purchased the Narwal Freo Pro and it has been a game-changer. The Freo Pro has a DualFlow Tangle-Free System that’s really effective at dealing with long hair and pet fur, which is perfect for a household with long-haired family members and pets. It also has strong suction power and a self-cleaning base station that takes care of a lot of the maintenance for you. Plus, it can vacuum and mop in one go, and the app is pretty user-friendly once you get the hang of it. I've been really happy with it, and it’s been a reliable part of my cleaning routine for years. And if you’re looking ahead, Narwal Flow is also on the horizon, so it might be worth keeping an eye out for that too. But for now, the Freo Pro is definitely worth considering for a long-lasting, low-maintenance cleaning solution.
your narwal price is solid, I bought a freo pro for 669.99cad on early black friday.
Had a similar train of thought back then, freo pro was my first robot vacuum and it treated me well. But I’ve upgraded to the flow. LMAO
I'm a recent robot convert. It's nice to see that there are several brands that seem to make solid products. I got mine on black Friday sale. I got a Narwal freo pro. So far so good. If i had more area to cover I'd look into a fancier one. Went in the middle.
I bought the Narwal Freo pro for 360. This will be our first robot vacuum
I have the Narwal Freo vacuum/mop and I love it.
Sure about that? I have a Narwal. It vacuums and mops. You can choose the floor type both for mopping and vacuuming and pick if you want a damp or wet mop. It’s WELL worth the money in my opinion
