    Dreame's roller-mop flagship: 30,000 Pa, a 270 mm roller at 9 to 11 N that slides to the wall and lifts 14 mm, legs for a 4.2 cm sill or 8 cm double step, two AI cameras and a 100 °C wash.

  • Narwal

    Freo Z10 Ultra

    Narwal's LiDAR flagship of the pad generation: 18,000 Pa, triangular mops that extend to the edge and lift 12 mm, a dirt sensor that mops until clean, two cameras and a quiet all-in-one dock.

  • Roborock

    Saros 20

    Roborock's flagship: 36,000 Pa, twin spinning mops the dock washes at 100 °C, and a solid-state 3D sensor instead of a LiDAR turret.
