The major advantage the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> has over the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is that it can also lift the mopping attachment whenever it detects a carpet or a rug, so you don\u2019t have to babysit the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> as much as other robotic mops.\u00a0 As I said, the total price, as tested for the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> was around $950, and since the S7 and auto empty base are pretty new to the market, I haven\u2019t seen any significant discounts or sales on them yet.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/narwal.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1206\" height=\"652\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Last, usually priced just around $1000 is the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>, and while the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> are robotic vacuums that can also mop, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is a robotic mop that can also vacuum.\u00a0 Everything about the narwal is designed to be the best robotic mop on the market.\u00a0 There is no beater brush on the Narwal, so in vacuuming mode you switch out the mopping pads for side brushes and rely on suction alone to pick up dirt and debris which isn\u2019t ideal for carpet, but works just fine for hard flooring.\u00a0 However, instead of having a single vibrating pad like the other vacuums, in mopping mode the narwal has two spinning mopping pads that apply a fairly significant amount of downforce to clean stains.\u00a0 Also notably absent on the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> compared to the other robots is an on-robot water reservoir, and that\u2019s because the base contains both a clean water and dirty water reservoir, that the narwal periodically returns to the base during its mopping runs to rinse, clean, and re-wet its mopping pads.\u00a0 As I said, basically everything about the Narwal is designed with the best mopping performance in mind, so lets see if all that extra tech lets it wipe the floor with the competition.<\/p>\n<p>Get it, wipe the floor, because they\u2019re robotic mops\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m all about getting to the important stuff first, so let\u2019s talk about how well they clean.\u00a0 In my house, 3 things end up on the floor on a semi regular basis:\u00a0 Coffee drips, mud, and in the workout room, sweat\u2026 Since the dirt in Florida is significantly more sandy than most other places I mixed in a little bit of clay to make it more muddy, and I used salt water in place of sweat, because gross.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/testing.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1141\" height=\"636\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I made 3 separate testing sites with 2mL each of these staining substances on both my laminate flooring and tile flooring, and to make it as difficult as possible I put it right in the middle of a grout line for the tile.\u00a0 I gave each sample 24 hours to dry before I sent the robots to clean them up.\u00a0 Since these were extreme stains I selected the most aggressive and wettest mopping option on each robot, and had them each do two total passes on the stains.<\/p>\n<p>All the robots use a similar mopping pattern where they mop the edges, and then compute a path to fill in the area completely.\u00a0 One notable difference that you can see during the testing is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> both allow for mopping a custom area, while the Narwal can only mop an entire room, and that meant that I had to block off the other areas to stop the narwal from cleaning the other testing sites.<\/p>\n<p>On the laminate flooring the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ really struggled, and after the first pass basically all the stains were still there and unchanged.\u00a0 This was especially bad when compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> single pass performance.\u00a0 Luckily after a second run the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ did a much better job and removed at least some of each of the stains, however it didn\u2019t perform nearly as well as the Narwall T10, or <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a>.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> ended up winning this competition, not only from a purely visual inspection, but I also cleaned the stains with a single spray of cleaner and a paper towel and after drying you can really see the difference in the amount of coffee that each vacuum was able to clean off the floor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/laminate-floor.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1208\" height=\"642\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the Tile, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> actually performed pretty well and cleaned up the majority of each stain, except what was in grout line.\u00a0 I had high hopes for the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>\u2019s brushes to be able to get into the grout, but unfortunately that didn\u2019t happen and again the tile stains cleaned up well but the grout line was still filled with coffee.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a>, which did the best on the laminate flooring was a total miss on the tile, and I mean a total miss.\u00a0 Remember how I said that the S7 could raise its mopping pad when it detected a carpet or rug? Well, something about these stains and grout lines triggered the carpet detection on the first run and while it looked like it was going to make a perfect pass over the stains, at the last moment it raised the mopping pad off the floor before it hit the stains.\u00a0 For whatever reason it didn\u2019t detect this imaginary carpet on the second pass and still managed to do a decent cleaning of the stains, but not as good as on the laminate, and not as good as the other two robots in this case.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that if you don\u2019t have carpet in your house you can disable the auto raising of the mop pad, but it seems like a shame to me since it\u2019s such a great feature.<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly the visual stain from the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> was definitely the worst, but after manual cleaning the paper towel for the S7 was the cleanest, which could suggest that there was less coffee in the grout line and more on the tile.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ performed decently, but was definitely not the best.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the mopping performance of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ with OZMO Pro is the best part of it, so lets talk about the real reasons you probably shouldn\u2019t buy it.\u00a0 First and foremost the T8+ with OZMO pro mop will not navigate over carpet.\u00a0 If you have two rooms that you want to mop but there isn\u2019t a hard floor path in between them the T8+ will not move between those rooms because it can\u2019t raise its mop and would get your carpet wet, but if it detects carpet you don\u2019t even have the option to override that detection, it just won\u2019t travel through that area when the mop is attached.\u00a0 Based on a poll of my subscribers that means that roughly 25% of you would already not be able to use this attachment since your hard floor rooms are separated by carpeted spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Second, the OZMO pro attachment for <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ needs to be removed and stored separately from the vacuum.\u00a0 If the vacuum detects that the OZMO Pro mop is attached it will switch to mopping mode and will not travel to carpeted areas.\u00a0 That means that if you accidentally leave the attachment on, your scheduled vacuuming will fail.\u00a0 It\u2019s also annoying that you have to find a place to store the attachment, you can\u2019t store it pad side down because it\u2019s wet and dirty from mopping, and if you flip it upside down it will leak water out the top.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ is one of my favorite robotic vacuums, and the one I use everyday in my house, I can\u2019t recommend the OZMO Pro mopping attachment for it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/like.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1211\" height=\"615\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So that leaves us with the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>, which are both very good, from a mopping standpoint the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is a much better cleaner, unfortunately, I think it\u2019s only suitable for a small number of homes, so lets talk about the key differences.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> does a great job picking stains, but those stains end up right on the pad, and then that same pad gets used to mop the rest of the house.\u00a0 Between mopping runs you\u2019ll need to put on a new pad and eventually throw them all the washing machine before reusing them.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> on the other hand cleans its pads regularly during a single cleaning session\u2026 Maybe even too much.\u00a0 The 4L wash water tank is only enough for roughly 200 square meters or 2,150 square feet of mopping, which for a large house with primarily hard floors means that the tanks will need to filled and emptied every mopping session\u2026 but it does mean that the dirty water from one room isn\u2019t going to get spread around to the rest of your house by a dirty mopping pad.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also another huge advantage to the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>\u2019s water tank design:\u00a0 Cleaning solution.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> specifically says to only use water in the reservoir, while the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> has cleaning solution pads that dissolve and lead to a much more effective cleaning experience.\u00a0 I re-ran the coffee test using cleaning solution instead of water, and the difference was significant.\u00a0 I actually had to go back and check the footage to figure out where the stain was in the first place because it was 100% gone. No stain at all, and no residue on the paper towel, awesome right? It depends.<\/p>\n<p>Like I mentioned before, 25% of people responded to my poll saying that in their home, rooms that need to be mopped were separated by carpeted areas or large rugs.\u00a0 Unlike the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/37Y2HM7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>+ with OZMO Pro Mop that just refuses to travel over carpet, the Narwal just ignores the carpet altogether and runs it wet brushes just like it would on hard flooring resulting in a very damp path in between rooms.\u00a0 This also applies on the path back to the base which means every time it returns home to clean it\u2019s pads dirty water will get ground into your carpet.<\/p>\n<p>If you are like the 25% that has a mix of carpet and hard flooring, but HAS is a clear path between all mopping rooms, you can set up no-mop zones in the narwal app, but I did find that they weren\u2019t as precise as the ones in the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a>\u2019s app, and unlike the roborock app there is no visual cue to show you where a rug or carpet might be.\u00a0 Still, after some trial and error I was able to get the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a>\u2019s no-go lines dialed in which prevented it from pushing around small rugs while it was mopping.<\/p>\n<p>Almost 50% of people responded that their entire home had hard flooring, so <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is definitely going to work for them, right?\u00a0 Well, maybe not.\u00a0 Mopping is most effective if the floors are relatively clean and free of debris, and for that you need to vacuum first.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> does have a vacuum attachment which while lacking a beater bar, will do just fine on hard flooring using just suction and side brushes.\u00a0 Unfortunately, with the Narwal it\u2019s a one or the other situation, so you\u2019ll need to manually switch out the vacuum brushes for the mopping pads every time you use the Narwal.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to that, despite its large base, the Narwal doesn\u2019t have any auto empty capabilities for its dustbin, and its dustbin is also really small compared to similar robotic vacuums on the market.\u00a0 This means that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is probably not up to the task if you have shedding pets, and if you do, you should expect to empty the dustbin several times during the vacuuming runs that you should do prior to mopping.\u00a0 You could solve this issue by purchasing a separate robotic vacuum to run before your <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> mops, but that of course comes with an added cost, and the annoyance of needing a place to put two large bases.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast the S7 mops and vacuums at the same time.\u00a0 It runs its beater bar, vacuum, and mopping attachment all at once.\u00a0 When it\u2019s on hard flooring it runs both the vacuum and the mop, sucking up any debris before it gets to the mopping pad.\u00a0 Whenever it encounters a rug or carpet it lifts the mopping attachment which not only keeps your carpets and rugs clean and dry, but it means they won\u2019t get pushed around.\u00a0 The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> even has a feature where if it detects a new rug it will stop and map out the entire border of the rug before continuing with the mopping run.\u00a0 Add to that the fact that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> is also one of the best performing robotic vacuums on the market, and the just released auto empty bin basically means that it is easily the all around best choice for a robotic vacuum or mop as long as the water only mopping and dirty pad issues aren\u2019t a deal breaker for you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thesmarthomehookup.com\/test_install\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/top-pick.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1191\" height=\"643\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If your home is under 200 square meters of hard flooring with not too many rugs, and you are willing to purchase a separate robotic vacuum to run before you mop, the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is undeniably good at mopping.\u00a0 The T10 is the first product from Narwal, and I think they are really on to something.\u00a0 If the next generation of Narwal\u00a0 could raise its mopping pads, and automatically switch from vacuum to mopping modes it\u2019s going to be a game changer, but for now as I said, I think the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3mlzW4m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Narwal T10<\/a> is only suitable for a very specific subset of people.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re one of my normal viewers you\u2019ll be happy to know that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> integrates easily into home assistant without installing any custom firmware and exposes the status of robot and allows you to issue commands like start cleaning and return to base.\u00a0 More advanced functionality is also available if you\u2019re willing to do a little tinkering like downloading the maps from the robot and cleaning specific rooms.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not a home assistant user you\u2019ll be happy to know that you can also control the S7 with Amazon Echo and Google Home.<\/p>\n<p>If it hasn\u2019t come across in this video, I\u2019m blown away by the quality and performance of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a>, and its 100% my recommendation for anyone looking for a high end robotic vacuum and mop.\u00a0 If the $950 total price tag of the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3y30RUD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Roborock S7<\/a> and auto empty base is too rich for your blood, I can\u2019t blame you, however hopefully combos and sales will eventually make it more affordable.\u00a0 I do watch for unusually good sales and post them on my twitter account, so follow me there if you\u2019re interested.\u00a0 Thank you so much to all of my
