Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Dyson Spot vacuum carpet?
No, the Dyson Spot AI Scrub is mop-only and cannot vacuum, so if you have any carpet you need the Narwal Flow 2 or a separate vacuum.
Which robot is better for heavy-duty mopping?
The Dyson Spot AI Scrub is more aggressive with AI-powered scrubbing and higher water pressure, making it better for baked-on grime than the Narwal Flow 2.
How much do the Narwal Flow 2 and Dyson Spot cost?
The Narwal Flow 2 is around $1,299, while the Dyson Spot AI Scrub costs about $750.
Do both robots use LiDAR for navigation?
Yes, both the Narwal Flow 2 and Dyson Spot AI Scrub use LiDAR laser scanning to map rooms and avoid getting lost or bumping into things.
Here’s the real choice: Pick the Narwal Flow 2 if your floors are mixed (carpet, hardwood, tile) or if you want simplicity—one robot, one app, one job done every week. It’s the ‘set it and forget it’ option. Pick the Dyson Spot AI Scrub if your home is mostly hard floors and you already have a vacuum you like, and you want a specialized scrubber that’ll make your kitchen shine. The Dyson is the sniper rifle; the Narwal is the reliable rifle that does everything.
Honestly? Start by asking yourself this: Do I vacuum manually right now, and am I happy with that part? If yes, get the Dyson. If no, or if you’re tired of managing two machines, go Narwal. Both are great robots—you literally can’t go wrong. Trust your gut on this one.
