Narwal's vacuums: pads on the Freo Z10, a roller on the Flow

Narwal sells two kinds of mop. The Freo Z10 family spins two pads and lifts them 12 mm over carpet: the Freo Z10 Ultra with 18,000 Pa, LiDAR with a camera and twin-camera obstacle recognition, the Freo Z10 Pro with 18,500 Pa and structured-light obstacle sensing, and the Freo Z10 Turbo with 25,000 Pa, whose dock empties, washes and dries but does not refill the water. The Flow family washes a roller instead and climbs 40 mm thresholds: the Flow 2 with 31,000 Pa and the roller lifted 10 mm, the Flow with 22,000 Pa and the Freo 20 with 31,000 Pa, all three navigating by camera rather than a LiDAR turret and standing 95 mm tall. The Freo X10 Pro is the entry model: 11,000 Pa, pads, LiDAR and no obstacle sensor.

What to check before buying a Narwal

  • Carpet. The Freo Z10 pads lift 12 mm and the Flow 2's roller 10 mm; the Flow, the Freo 20 and the Freo X10 Pro state no lift, so they mop where they go.
  • Thresholds. Narwal publishes 40 mm for the Flow family and no figure for the Freo Z10 and the Freo X10 Pro.
  • The dock. Every Narwal empties the bin and washes the mop; only the Freo Z10 Turbo skips the water refill and only the Flow skips drying. The dust bag lasts about 120 days wherever Narwal states it.
  • What is not published. Narwal states no runtime for any of these machines and a noise figure only for the Flow 2, 57 dB; our tables say so rather than guess.
