Changing from vacuum to mop and vice-versa is simple and straightforward. But on solid floors, they sweep dust, dirt and debris neatly into the center slot. However, there are two horizontal brushes to the sides, which swing around like helicopter blades. This plate has a single suction slot in the center, with no roller brush. If you remove the mopping pads, there’s space to attach the vacuum plate. As we’ll see, this allows for significantly better cleaning performance than most mopping vacuums. The T10, on the other hand, has two big round mopping pads, which rotate in circles. At worst, the pad might just drag along your floor. Typically, you’d see a little pad that oscillates back and forth.

But on the plus side, the mopping function is more robust than most robot vacs. This has a disadvantage, because you can only do one or the other at a time. Instead of either a mop or a vacuum, you’ll have either one or the other. The neat thing about the bottom of the housing is that it’s actually modular. And along the front of the housing, there’s an infrared sensor with a silver-grey border. There’s a little tower on top for the main LIDAR sensor. The housing is a glossy white plastic, which is attractive and doesn’t attract a lot of dust. But on the downside, it’s too thick to fit under a lot of furniture. This allows for it to retain a large amount of water, which is always a good thing. And at 4.21 inches high, it’s unusually thick. In point of fact, it is pretty chunky, with a length of 12.36 inches and a width of 13.58 inches. Instead of being round, it’s oblong, so it looks a bit bigger and beefier. The Narwal T10 has an unusual shape for a robot vacuum. After that, we’ll be prepared to render a fair verdict. We’ll talk about the battery life, the app, and all the other features. We’ll look at the vacuum function, as well as how the mops work. But how well does it perform in practice, and how does it work? To find out, we’ll have to take a much closer look, starting with the physical design. The T10 has been upgraded with larger tanks, as well as with significantly smarter software.
It’s a powerful combination of a mop and a vacuum, with a self-cleaning function and big reservoirs. This is the successor to the original Narwal Mopping Vacuum, which we reviewed in the past. We’re about to review the Narwal T10 floor cleaner. Do you need a vacuum, a mop, or some combination of the two? And what type of automated features do you need? The answers to those questions will help steer you in the right direction. At the same time, it’s important to remember there are multiple types of cleaners. But at least you can automate the process of cleaning your floors. Unfortunately, nobody has invented an automated toilet scrubber yet. It’s like doing the dishes, or scrubbing out your toilet. It’s just another chore you have to do as part of taking care of your home. After all, nobody gets excited about vacuuming or mopping. Robot floor cleaners fit squarely into this category. Sometimes, the best technologies are the least exciting, because they’re doing something mundane. This is understandable, but it’s also somewhat unfortunate. The same thing happens when a new game system or high-end graphics card gets released. You couldn’t read a single tech website without running into oodles of articles. Think about the last time a new iPhone came out. But it’s easy to get caught up on the most exciting, flashy technologies. Our smartphones alone perform many tasks, from online banking to GPS navigation to entertainment.
When it comes to technology, our devices provide all kinds of benefits.
