Our Verdict

Matic Robot

Narwal Flow

The Matic Robot and the Narwal Flow are both high-end robot vacuum/mop combos that are plagued with navigation issues that result in unreliable debris pickup across the board. Their designs are very different. The Narwal uses a traditional low-profile body with a dock that handles maintenance automatically, while the Matic is considerably taller, houses everything onboard, and uses five cameras instead of LIDAR to navigate. Both offer excellent obstacle avoidance despite their other shortcomings. The Narwal handles stains better, but the Matic is the only one that can pick up wet spills.
