What the differences mean

Suction power

The Dreame X60 Ultra is rated at 35000Pa and the Narwal Flow at 22000Pa. On carpet and heavy pet hair the Dreame is the stronger vacuum, and Narwal Flow owners themselves name carpet as its weak point.

Water tank and runtime

The Narwal Flow carries a 5 litre tank and a 200 minute rating, against 4.2 litres and 165 minutes for the Dreame X60 Ultra. The Narwal mops and runs longer between fills and charges.

Height and reach

The Dreame X60 Ultra is 79.5 millimetres tall with its sensor retracted, so it cleans under low sofas and beds. The Narwal Flow is 95 millimetres tall, which clears most furniture but not the tightest gaps.

Warranty cover

The Dreame X60 Ultra is covered for three years and the Narwal Flow for one. That is the second year running that Dreame's cover outstrips Narwal's on a machine in the same price band.

Smart home and detergent

The Narwal Flow is Matter certified now and reaches Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant. The Dreame X60 Ultra lists those as an upcoming update but works with Home Assistant today, and it doses detergent automatically, which the Narwal Flow does not.

What owners say

Owners of both robots rate the dock that empties, washes and dries as the reason they stopped doing floor care by hand, and both apps have their critics. Narwal Flow owners lead with the track mop, saying dried grease and mud that needed a hand mop now come off in a pass or two, and they praise quiet running and fast mapping, but they describe false carpet detection and poor pickup on some pile types as the recurring flaw. Dreame X60 Ultra owners single out the slim body that reaches under low sofas and the detangling brush, and they warn that the app is region-locked and that the robot stays on 2.4GHz Wi-Fi.
