Imagine never vacuuming or mopping your floors ever again? The Narwal Robot Vacuum makes that dream come true. Attach the sweeping discs to the bottom of the robot and let it scurry around your house picking up dust and daily detritus, and then swap out the sweeping discs for the mopping discs, fill the tank (housed in its home base) with warm water, plus a sheet of the lightly and pleasantly scented detergent to dissolve. The robot goes back and forth between your rooms to home base to get more cleaning solution and to dump dirty wastewater into the other waiting tank within. Just dump the wastewater tank when it’s done. Think about that: vacuuming your whole house and then mopping it, lugging the vacuum, mop and water bucket from room to room, changing the bucket for every room, rinsing, repeating … vs …. swapping a couple discs and filling one bucket and emptying another. Money very well spent.
