Narwal has unveiled its Flow 2 robot vacuum and expanded cleaning lineup at CES 2026 on January 4, with a greater push of AI cleaning.
Narwal's 2026 product refresh centers on the Flow 2 robot vacuum, alongside new cordless and mattress vacuums aimed at broader home cleaning. The products are on display at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where Narwal is positioning them as a unified cleaning system covering floors, fabrics, and allergen-prone surfaces.
For Apple users, the announcement matters less for platform exclusivity and more for ecosystem reliability. Robot vacuums depend heavily on iOS apps for mapping, alerts, video feeds, and remote control from an iPhone or iPad, especially as camera-based features expand.
Flow 2 adds heavier AI claims and higher-end hardware
Flow 2 is Narwal's flagship robot vacuum, built around the new NarMind Pro Autonomous System. The system combines dual 1080p RGB cameras with a hybrid on-device and cloud-based AI model designed to identify objects and adjust cleaning behavior in real time.
Narwal says Flow 2 can recognize a wide range of household objects, capturing images locally and sending them to the cloud when the robot cannot classify an obstacle on-device. The company says this approach improves obstacle avoidance accuracy over time as the system learns from more environments.

The robot includes household-specific modes aimed at pets and children. Pet Care Mode focuses on defined pet zones and supports pet detection, along with remote video monitoring.
Baby Care Mode reduces noise near cribs, avoids crawling areas, and prioritizes cleaner pass patterns. An AI Floor Tag system marks valuable items, assigns a higher avoidance priority, and logs them in the app.
The hardware specs are aggressive, including up to 30,000 Pa of suction paired with CarpetFocus technology and a DualFlow tangle-free brush system. Flow 2 also updates Narwal's FlowWash mopping system, increasing hot-water washing temperature from 113F to 140F while applying constant downward pressure to better remove stubborn residue.
An all-in-one base station handles self-emptying, hot-water mop washing, and hot-air drying. Narwal says the station supports up to 120 days of hands-free operation and uses a reusable dust bag and washable debris filter to reduce disposable waste.
Cordless and mattress vacuums extend beyond floors
Narwal is also expanding beyond robot vacuums with the V50 Series cordless vacuum, which pairs a lightweight handheld design with an auto-empty base station. The vacuum weighs about 3.1 pounds and uses detachable batteries, multi-cyclone H13 filtration, and smart dirt detection for everyday cleaning.
A second ultra-slim cordless vacuum is also part of the lineup, featuring a compact body, swivel head, 140 Air Watts of suction, and up to 50 minutes of runtime. Its auto-empty station supports up to 60 days of hands-free dust disposal.
Narwal U50 Series
The U50 Series mattress vacuum targets soft furnishings and allergens rather than floors. It combines heated cleaning, UVC sterilization, high-speed tapping, and 16,000 Pa of suction, using a sealed disposable dust system designed for short maintenance cycles.
None of the products are designed around Apple services like HomeKit. Dependable iOS app support is crucial as Narwal focuses on camera-based features and remote monitoring.
Pricing and release timelines for these products have not been announced yet.
