iRobot Roomba 705X vs Narwal Flow

The Narwal Flow, on a wider margin of suction and battery. It is rated at 22,000Pa and 200 minutes against 13,000Pa and 120 minutes on the iRobot Roomba 705X, and its self-rinsing track mop is the more convincing mopping system.

The mop and the run time. The Narwal Flow rinses its rolling track mop with hot water continuously and runs for 200 minutes, while the iRobot Roomba 705X spins a roller pad and runs for 120 minutes before recharging.

Yes, both the iRobot Roomba 705X and the Narwal Flow support Matter, which brings them into Apple Home, SmartThings and Home Assistant, and both also work with Alexa and Google Home.

It is rated for it, with CarpetFocus sealing the brush and the mop lifting 12 mm, but this is where owner reports diverge. Some are happy with area rugs, while others describe poor pickup on certain pile types and an app that keeps detecting carpet where there is none.

Buyers who want Matter and Apple Home support with a fully self-maintaining AutoWash dock and automatic solution dosing, and who are happy with a shorter run and a smaller suction reserve at a lower price.

Homes with mostly hard floor that want mopping done properly, plus the strongest suction and longest battery of this pair, and a dock that washes, dries and empties for months.
