\/><figcaption>Narwal in action<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I<em> really<\/em> like the way Narwal mops. At this time, I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything else that rivals its effectiveness at mopping large areas without any intervention from you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other robomops that rival it\u2019s scrubbing ability. For example, the Roborock S7 has a mop pad that vibrates. The vibrating action works as an effective scrubber. It may even be better than Narwal at removing some tough stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But after a while, the Roborock and other robomops like it end up basically dragging around a dirty rag. Inevitably, this leaves a cloudy trail of dirt once it dries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Narwal is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has an automatic mop pad cleaning system. <em>None<\/em> of the other robots I&#8217;ve seen have a system like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cleaning system enables it to clean large floors and do multiple cleanings without getting full of dirt. Since it\u2019s never trying to clean with dirty water, it <em>doesn\u2019t<\/em> leave tracks of hazy soap\/dirt residue in its wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that it does the cleaning automatically. That allows it to clean large floors and do multiple cleanings <strong>without any intervention from you<\/strong>.&nbsp;You can simply schedule the cleaning and let the robot take care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can get the fresh smell and shine of a freshly mopped&nbsp; floor every single day, and the only effort that\u2019s required from me is to fill and empty the water tanks every 3 or 4 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Check price on Narwal T10: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.narwal.com\/?utm_source=BG&amp;utm_medium=thesmartcave&amp;utm_campaign=thesmartcave&amp;utm_term=productreview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Narwal.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/T10-Cleaner-Machine-Automatic-Cleaning\/dp\/B08Z75576H?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=thesmartcave-20&amp;linkId=d26b6b88912c2f5b1e5d78b881d57f71&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Narwal is a Robomop 1st and a Robovac 2nd<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other robot vacs with a mopping function look like robot vacuums that have a mopping attachment forced into it by desperate engineers. Essentially, they are robot vacuums that also do a little mopping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the T10&#8217;s mopping feature is more than &#8220;just an attachment&#8221;. In fact, the T10 looks like it was designed from the ground up with mopping in mind. I think it&#8217;s fair to say that the T10 is a robot mop that also does a little vacuuming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has these dual rotating scrubbers that act as the main mopping scrub brushes. These brushes look like they can really give a floor a good scrubbing, especially when compared to the wet cloths that other robovacs drag across the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-mopping-pads-768x1024.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5751\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-mopping-pads-225x300.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 225w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-mopping-pads-768x1024.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-mopping-pads-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 810w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-mopping-pads-1152x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1152w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-mopping-pads-1536x2048.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It also comes with this big docking tower. At first glance, I assumed the T10&#8217;s docking tower was just another automatic dustbin emptier. But, the docking tower is actually a mop brush cleaning station. When the T10 senses that its mops are dirty, it will go back to the tower for a cleaning. Water from the clean bin flushes the dirt from the dirty mop pads. Then, the resulting dirty water is collected in the dirty water bin. Once the mops are clean, the T10 resumes cleaning where it left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-in-docking-tower-768x1024.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5750\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-in-docking-tower-225x300.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 225w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-in-docking-tower-768x1024.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-in-docking-tower-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 810w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-in-docking-tower-1152x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1152w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-in-docking-tower-1536x2048.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using the Narwal T10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From setup to regular use, using the Narwal has been relatively painless. Ultimately, what I want from a robot like this is for it to consistently do its job without any intervention from me. For the most part, it succeeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mapping and Navigation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you do any cleaning, the robot first needs to map out your area. Once you turn it on, it will prompt you to run the mapping sequence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5874\" width=\"243\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-135x300.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 135w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-scaled.jpg?size=216x480&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-461x1024.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 461w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 486w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-691x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 691w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-768x1707.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-map-922x2048.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The initial mapping sequence goes quickly. My main floor is about 600 sqft with 4 rooms and the mapping took about 5 minutes. Basically the robot just strolls through the rooms and does a rough scan of the area so that it can calculate the best way to clean the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You only need to run the initial mapping sequence once. After that, that map is saved so that when it&#8217;s time for the next cleaning it can get right to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One map<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Narwal can only handle one map at a time. That means if you want to move it to another floor, you will have to rerun the mapping sequence each time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, this is not practical. Therefore, the Narwal will work best if you park it on your main level where mopping is needed most and don\u2019t move it. Besides, the base unit is bulky enough that you probably won\u2019t want to lug it up and down stairs anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Divide maps into rooms and zones<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once mapped, the app will automatically divide your space into rooms as it sees fit. If it doesn\u2019t do the job well enough, you can merge or divide the space into rooms as you see fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, you can add no-go zones. The no-go zones can be specifically assigned to mop mode, vacuum mode, or both. This is especially useful for avoiding rugs and carpet in mopping mode. However, the resolution of the map is somewhat low, so drawing the rooms and zones can be a bit of guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5875\" width=\"243\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-135x300.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 135w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-scaled.jpg?size=216x480&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-461x1024.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 461w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 486w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-691x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 691w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-768x1707.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-nogo-zone-922x2048.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 243px) 100vw, 243px\" \/><figcaption>No-go zone added in kitchen for rug (pink rectangle)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Switch between sweeping and mopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Narwal cannot switch between sweeping and mopping by itself. It requires you two manually swap out the attachments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To me, the perfect robovac\/robomop is as \u201chands-off\u201d as possible. So, the fact that I have to manually intervene to switch between sweeping and mopping is less than ideal. However, the switching process is easy and it only takes seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sweeping attachment is one piece with two rotating sweepers.

Similarly, if the dirty tank gets full, it\u2019ll let you know to empty it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Filling and emptying the tanks is super easy. The lid flips up and exposes the tanks. To remove them, there\u2019s no latch. You just lift them out. Once removed, there is a latch on each tank which keeps the tank sealed. Release the latch and the top of the tank opens up so you can empty\/fill. Then, set them back in place once they\u2019re emptied\/filled. You\u2019ll hear a light click sound once it\u2019s in the proper position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To fill the clean water you can use regular tap water. You fill it up to the designated full line and then drop in one of the detergent sheets. The detergent sheet instantly dissolves and provides the soap for the mop as well as a nice fresh scent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t add your own cleaning solution to the water. It could damage or \u201cgum up\u201d the internal parts of your Narwal.

Each cleaning plan is either a vacuum plan or a mop plan. Within each plan, you can choose which rooms to clean and how many times to clean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you create a time plan. Within the time plan, you select a cleaning plan to follow. Then, you specify what time to start and which days of the week execute the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, I have my map divided into 3 rooms: kitchen, bathroom, and living room. My kitchen is the one room that I regularly mop with Narwal. So, I created a mop plan with only the kitchen room selected. I set it to clean 2 times at the &#8220;normal&#8221; wetness setting. Then, I created a time plan. Within the time plan, I selected the &#8220;kitchen only&#8221; cleaning plan (which I just created) and told it to repeat on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 1:00pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"486\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"5881\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-135x300.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 135w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-scaled.jpg?size=216x480&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-461x1024.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 461w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 486w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-691x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 691w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-768x1707.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-mop-plan-922x2048.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"486\" height=\"1080\" data-id=\"5882\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-135x300.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 135w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-scaled.jpg?size=216x480&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-461x1024.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 461w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 486w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-691x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 691w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-768x1707.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/narwal-time-plan-922x2048.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 922w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 486px) 100vw, 486px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If it&#8217;s time for a scheduled cleaning and the wrong attachment is installed, the app will notify you so you can change it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart home integration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked at some reviews from 6 months ago and many people complained that the Narwal app was cumbersome and lacking basic features such as scheduling.

This can be okay for wiping off some dust. But, before too long, the rag gets soiled and it ends up leaving a hazy film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re mopping manually, you dunk the mop into a bucket of water. It\u2019s clean at first, but before too long you\u2019re dunking the mop into a bucket of dirty water and trying to clean with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Narwal robot is better than that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the mopping task, it will automatically return to its base station to flush out the dirt from its mopping pads and refresh them with clean water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The mopping process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you command your Narwal to start a mopping session, the cleaning process looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>First, it will pre-soak the mopping pads with the clean water from the reservoir. <\/li><li>Then, it heads out on the floor to start cleaning. <\/li><li>After a few minutes of mopping, it will return to the base to clean the mopping pads. <\/li><li>At the base, the pads are flushed with clean water and the dirty water is collected in the dirty water bin. <\/li><li>Then, it resumes cleaning where it left off, and the process is repeated until the cleaning task is complete.<\/li><li>When the cleaning task is complete, the robot returns to the base and the mopping pads are dried to avoid the chance that mildew starts to grow on the pads.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The whole process can start and complete without any intervention from you<\/strong>. You only need to make sure the base station is loaded with enough clean water and the dirty water bin has enough room to collect the waste water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each time it does a cleaning, I have it go over the floor twice with medium wetness. If the floor is particularly dirty, it can sometimes leave behind some tracks on the first pass. However, the second pass usually does a good job of removing the tracks and leaving a nice clean, shiny finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaning power<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the filth in our kitchen comes from dirty shoes. I\u2019m usually in too much of a rush to bother taking my shoes off. So, whether it\u2019s from rain or snow or just regular dust, we usually end up with a fair amount of footprints tracking through our kitchen area. The Narwal does great at cleaning them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" data-id=\"5885\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=216x162&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=432x324&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 432w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=648x486&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 648w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=864x648&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 864w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1080w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/before-narwal-cleaning-2048x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption>Before<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" data-id=\"5886\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=216x162&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=432x324&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 432w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=648x486&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 648w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?size=864x648&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 864w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1080w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/after-narwal-cleaning-2048x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption>After<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, it does fine removing light stains such as small spills of milk or coffee.

Before Narwal, our floor was lucky to be mopped once per month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But once you have a robomop, you can give your floors a good cleaning every single day with hardly any effort. When your floors are being consistently cleaned, difficult stains don&#8217;t have the opportunity to dry and harden to the point where they are too hard to clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noise level<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The Narwal robot&nbsp; is exceptionally quiet in mopping mode. In fact, the first time I used it, it was so quiet that I didn\u2019t think it was working. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The base station makes a little more noise when it\u2019s cleaning the mopping pads. I think it\u2019s comparable to a typical dishwasher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-default\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Vacuuming (sweeping)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to almost all robot vacuums for sale today, Narwal\u2019s performance as a vacuum is quite weak. While it does have a \u201cvacuum\u201d feature, it\u2019s not designed like a vacuum cleaner in the traditional sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Struggles on carpet<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>At 1800 pa, its suction power is on the low end which makes it hard to pull out any debris that&#8217;s lodged in carpets. In addition, it lacks a traditional beater bar which adds to its struggle to dislodge dirt in carpet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead of a beater bar, it has two rotating sweepers that guide the dirt towards the center \u201cmouth\u201d that then sucks it up. For that reason, I think it\u2019s more accurate to call the <em>vacuum<\/em> feature a <em>sweeping<\/em> feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&strip=1&webp=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5905\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers.jpg?size=216x162&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 216w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-300x225.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers.jpg?size=432x324&amp;lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 432w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-768x576.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-1024x768.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-scaled.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1080w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-1536x1152.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1536w, https:\/\/b2255126.smushcdn.com\/2255126\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/narwal-sweepers-2048x1536.jpg?lossy=1&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair, it does a good enough job with debris that is surface level.

Realistically, it takes soap and water and a little scrubbing action to really make a floor shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s where the mopping action of Narwal takes my floor&#8217;s cleanliness to the next level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You will be happy with your Narwal purchase as long as you know what to expect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>DO expect it to do a phenomenal job on your hard floors. It does a good job sweeping and a great job mopping.<\/li><li>DO NOT expect it to do a good job on carpet and rugs. It\u2019s not made for that. It performs okay on low pile carpet (most high traffic rugs) but don&#8217;t expect it to remove anything more than surface debris.<\/li><li>DO expect it to leave your hard floors clean and without that thin film of dust that most robovacs leave behind.<\/li><li>DO NOT expect it to remove that drop of ketchup on the floor that\u2019s been hardening for the past two weeks.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Shop for Narwal T10: <a href=\"https:\/\/shop.narwal.com\/?utm_source=BG&amp;utm_medium=thesmartcave&amp;utm_campaign=thesmartcave&amp;utm_term=productreview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Narwal.com<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/T10-Cleaner-Machine-Automatic-Cleaning\/dp\/B08Z75576H?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=thesmartcave-20&amp;linkId=d26b6b88912c2f5b1e5d78b881d57f71&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Amazon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple months ago Narwal sent me their Narwal T10 robot vacuum and mop.
