Streamlined Lineup with A Few High-Impact Products
Narwal Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
Founded in 2016, Narwal is a relatively young player in the robotic cleaning world—but don’t mistake youth for inexperience. This Shenzhen-based startup made waves right out of the gate with its first product, the T10, one of the earliest robots to fully automate both vacuuming and mop washing. Since then, Narwal has positioned itself as a specialist in high-end hybrid robots, leaning hard into AI-powered obstacle recognition, self-cleaning systems, and minimalist aesthetics that wouldn't look out of place in a design museum.
But good tech is only part of the story. What really matters is how these bots perform in everyday chaos—pet hair, cereal spills, floor gunk, and that dreaded mop stink. After putting Narwal’s current lineup through my usual gauntlet of lab tests and real-home stress trials, I’ve broken down what works, what needs polishing, and which tier gives you the best value.
Let’s dig into the details—because whether you’re shopping entry-level or going all-in on auto-everything, Narwal’s got something that’ll make you rethink manual mopping forever.
Roborock Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
Roborock has rapidly risen from a Xiaomi-backed newcomer to a globally recognized powerhouse in the robotic vacuum world. With cutting-edge technologies like ReactiveAI® Obstacle Avoidance and VibraRise® mopping, the brand consistently sets new standards in automation and intelligence. Whether you're shopping for your very first robot or hunting for a flagship that can practically read your mind, Roborock’s lineup offers something sharp at every price point — without losing its sleek, minimalist charm.
And while the brand flexes hard on tech, it doesn’t shy away from daily practicality. That means designs that work just as well on Cheerios as they do on pet hair, and apps that don’t make you feel like you need a PhD to operate them.
We’ve run Roborock models through a full suite of tests in our lab — from tight-corner navigation and carpet-deep suction to mop lifting on high-pile rugs — and the results speak for themselves. These bots aren’t just clever; they’re consistent.
If you're even thinking about upgrading your cleaning game, this one's worth the deep dive.
