No matter the amount of foot traffic, your home is bound to be somewhat dirty. And you shouldn’t have to spend all your free time cleaning. Minimizing time spent on chores is best left to devices like robot vacuums and mops. Delegating such tasks will result in spotless floors and more enjoyable living spaces. But what cleaning tech is best for your smart home?
Narwal’s latest innovations should make homeowners excited. The award-winning leader in smart home cleaning just unveiled its latest generation of products at CES 2026, led by its revolutionary Narwal Flow 2.
The 2026 flagship robot vacuum is just the first step in keeping spaces clean without heavy lifting ahead of time. That’s because Narwal has used advanced intelligence in its machines to give homes in all states of messiness a much-needed boost.

Features
NarMind™ Pro Autonomous System, FlowWash Mopping System, CarpetFocus™ Technology
The Flow 2 is Narwal’s newest robot vacuum. With advanced AI technology like the NarMind™ Pro Autonomous System, the device delivers a more efficient cleaning experience. The flagship vacuum has a stylish design that fits in well in any home.
Narwal’s Flow 2 is leading the product lineup in 2026. The new robot vacuum combines stylish design, practicality, and AI innovations to deliver a cleaning solution for the entire home. You don’t have to worry about constantly cleaning the floor before you run your vacuum, like you may have had to with previous options.
The Flow 2 is powered by the NarMind™ Pro Autonomous System, giving it more awareness of its surroundings. This system is built with dual 1080p RGB cameras that offer a wide 136° field of view, so the device can recognize and react accordingly to its surroundings as it cleans.
Cameras capture in real time, and the built-in AI chip in the robot will process obstacle avoidance and cleaning strategy selection. For more complicated situations, the image will be sent to the cloud-based VLM (Vision Language Model) for further analysis. With support from built-in and on-cloud AI, the Flow 2 can achieve unlimited object recognition in your house.

The Flow 2 doesn’t only handle dry messes. It can recognize spills and dirt piles of all kinds to determine how to best clean them without manual interaction. The robot vacuum considers the spill type and adjusts its cleaning process. If it can’t tidy the area in one go, the robot will return to its base, clean the brushes, and then re-mop the space for a thorough clean.
To ensure each mess is addressed with precision and efficiency, the Flow 2 has many cleaning modes thanks to the cloud-based VLM. For example, Pet Care Mode provides a deeper clean to areas frequented by pets and even allows users to divert operation if a pet is in a room with the Narwal app. But if your pet isn’t skittish, the robot vacuum’s camera and microphone can be used to communicate with pets when owners are away.
Baby Care Mode makes the Flow 2 discreet. This setting is meant for those with sleeping children who still don’t want to snooze on keeping their home tidy. This means the device is extra quiet as it cleans near a crib, avoids areas where a baby might be crawling, and can even send an alert if it recognizes a toy that’s been missing.
While toys are valuable to kids, the AI Floor Tag feature will recognize important items that are important to adults and log them in the app while sending out accompanying alerts. So, if you happen to drop jewelry on the ground, the Flow 2 will actively avoid it and let you know it’s there.

The Narwal Flow 2 is a powerful robot vacuum with its unique FlowWashing system, which continuously refreshes the mop with hot water to ensure a superior sanitized result. Better still, it uses 12N downward pressure to eliminate the toughest stains and spills.
With up to 30,000 Pa of suction to unleash on the most stubborn messes, Flow 2 offers a DualFlow™ Tangle-Free System and CarpetFocus™ Technology that combine for ultimate cleaning on many surfaces. If it’s tackling hair, dirt, lint, and other debris, it won’t clog the bristles and brushes. Users can utilize the TrueColor™ 3D Mapping in the Narwal app to choose which rooms the Flow 2 cleans and exactly what surface area must be covered.
When it’s time for self-cleaning, the Flow 2 returns to its stylish, modern-looking base and starts to automatically wash and charge itself. The base offers fast charging, thanks to AI Battery Health Management, and washes the unit with hot water, so it’s ready to use again. The base also has very little maintenance, as it has a 120-Day self-emptying cycle, AI Adaptive Hot-Water Mop Washing, and Auto Hot Air Drying.
