  • Dual 1080p cameras and Pet Care Mode

What to know about Narwal Flow 2

Narwal's 2026 flagship: 31,000 Pa suction, a continuously self-rinsing heated FlowWash track mop, dual 1080p cameras and Pet Care Mode 2.0. Reviewed names it the best robot vacuum-mop for pet owners. Tom's Guide found its performance short of its list price, especially on carpet.
Editorial notes

Why it stands out

Why we like it

Reviewed names the Flow 2 the best robot vacuum-mop for pet owners. The track mop rinses itself continuously with heated water, which suits fresh paw prints on tile and wood. Dual cameras help it spot obstacles. On hardwood, Tom's Guide scored its pet-hair pickup 100.

The cheaper Narwal Freo 20 may be worth watching, but it has no published tests yet.

What to know

Skip it if you have carpet and a shedding pet. Tom's Guide scored carpet pet-hair pickup just 80 and said performance misses the mark for the price.
