You could call this brilliant device a “dream come true.” It is certainly a perfect example of why it’s so great to live in the 21st century. It’s what every proper household needs. What is it? A mop that cleans the house on its own and cleans itself… and vacuums for you too.
Enjoy a hands-free home cleaning experience with the world’s first self-cleaning robot mop and vacuum by Narwal. Thanks to its innovative auto-mop-cleaning system, you’ll be freed from the daunting task of having to repeatedly clean the stinky mop manually during a cleaning cycle. The robot returns to the cleaning base to automatically wash the mops clean when needed. When done, the base also dries the mops up. The tank at the cleaning base has a 5L rinse water capacity which is large enough for cleaning a sizeable room up to 3,200 sq.ft.
Narwal tackles dirt and stains perfectly by using dual dynamic triangular spinning mops which can easily capture fine dust and eliminate scribbling on floors. The vacuum, with its strong suction powered by a 1800Pa motor, effortlessly grabs pet hair, debris, dust and other small particles on your floor.
Not only that, but this cutting edge device also includes smart mapping, meaning it is capable of learning and mapping the floorplan to make an optimized cleaning routine. The proprietary LiDAR Navigation Technology enables it to remember this map for future cleaning jobs and constantly adapt to your home. Included as a feature of this technology is an accompanying App where you can effortlessly customize your cleaning strategy, as well as schedule the clean, set the cleaning modes, and monitor the cleaning status and more.
Narwal can vacuum carpets and wash all types of hard floors including vinyl, tile, hardwood, and laminate. Using LiDAR technology and special onboard software, it is able to plot an optimized route across floors types and carpets, a route which gets updated with each pass and should get smarter over time. What it can not do however is vacuum and mop at the same time – you need to manually swap the modules over each time. You also need to empty out the vacuumed dirt and debris manually.
If you want one, early bird Kickstarter pledges start at US$549. This includes its base station and all the accessories you need to get started. Otherwise, you can buy one when it goes on sale for $799.
