Narwal Flow Deploys World's First Track Mopping at IFA 2025

IFA Debut Shocks

Narwal unveiled its groundbreaking Flow robot at IFA 2025 in Berlin, introducing the world's first track mopping system that revolutionizes hybrid vacuuming. This slim powerhouse deploys a continuous self-cleaning roller track, ensuring pristine floors without spreading grime, as crowds marveled at live demos. The launch disrupts a market dominated by static mop pads, promising effortless deep cleans for busy households. With 22,000 Pa suction paired to this innovation, Narwal positions Flow as the future of autonomous floor care, drawing massive buzz from tech enthusiasts and appliance giants alike.

Track Magic Unveiled

Flow's signature FlowWash Rolling Track Mop sets it apart by using a flat-sided roller that maintains constant floor contact while self-rinsing in real-time with 113°F warm water and a scraper. This prevents dirt redistribution, applying 12N downforce for streak-free results on hard surfaces. EdgeReach tech extends the mop dynamically for corner precision, while auto-lifting 12mm avoids carpet wetting. Pet owners rejoice at the DualFlow tangle-free brushes that channel hair straight to the bin, transforming chaotic homes into spotless sanctuaries without manual intervention.

Engineering Leaps Forward

At Flow's core lies embedded LiDAR fused with Twin-AI Dodge for 3D mapping that dodges over 200 obstacles via dual RGB cameras, LED, and structured light. CarpetFocus tech adapts by lowering brushes for twice the fiber-deep pickup on rugs, while the ultra-quiet base (<60 dBA) handles hot-water washes, drying, and 2.5L self-emptying for 120 hands-free days. Climbing 1.6-inch thresholds via omni-wheels, it navigates multi-level homes seamlessly, powered by proprietary AI algorithms that learn and optimize paths over time.

Homes Transformed Daily

Imagine returning to a mansion-like polish after work: Flow tackles pet hair chaos, kitchen spills, and living room dust in one 190-minute sweep, scheduling via app or "Hey Nawa" voice commands. Families with mixed flooring love its adaptive modes, vacuuming carpets aggressively before mop-lifting for tile shines. In real apartments, it slips under low furniture, eradicating baseboard grime others miss, freeing weekends for life beyond chores. Early adopters report 2x faster cleans, redefining maintenance as invisible magic.

Specs Decode Power

Measuring a low-profile 3.7 inches high by 13.8 inches in diameter and weighing around 4.5 kg, Flow glides effortlessly with its 6400 mAh lithium-ion battery offering typical 2-3 year lifespan under normal use. Dual RGB AI cameras pair with rear-mounted LiDAR, cliff sensors, and obstacle avoidance for precise navigation via the Twin-AI Dodge system. Safety shines through cliff detection, anti-collision tech, and auto mop lifting on carpets. Proprietary Narwal software drives AI cleaning, while omni-directional wheels conquer 1.6-inch thresholds.

Rivals Outpaced

Flow's 22,000 Pa suction crushes Narwal Freo Z Ultra's 12,000 Pa, though Freo edges in detergent auto-dispensing Flow lacks. Against Freo X Plus, Flow's track mop self-cleans mid-run for superior hygiene, but X Plus offers better multi-floor mapping speed. Ecovacs X9 Pro Omni matches slimness yet trails in obstacle recognition (Flow spots 200+ objects), while 3i P10 Ultra boasts hotter drying—Flow counters with quieter operation and stronger edge reach. Flow leads in raw power and innovation, ideal for pet-heavy homes, but premium pricing may deter budget buyers.
