Flow 2 gets better and after a few days it gets worse again

Flow 2, after the last update, everything seemed to be working better, but instead it seems to be acting up again. Yesterday morning, during its daily cleaning, it reported being stuck twice, but it wasn't. It started reporting non-existent obstacles again, repeating the same ones over and over again, with the same errors. It had started cleaning well again with the side brush in the corners, and now it cleans 1 out of 3. I can't understand why, after an improvement update, it gets worse again after a few days; I really don't understand this. I also urge Narwal to include the ramp function and virtual walls in the robot's software and app, two solutions that are very important to me. Thank you.

Flow 2 Matter Integration

Hi everyone,

I can’t get the matter Integration with Apple HomeKit to work. Who had problems with Matter and has been able to fix it? Who still has issues with it?

Maybe we can make this topic more visible together to get a fix or some kind of feedback from Narwal.

Flow 2 map editing

Trying to find a way to edit our map. We have LVT in the kitchen and dining area then the hallway and living room have hardwood floors with a transition piece to the LVT. there is a rug in the living room too. I want to be able to separate the dining room from the kitchen but there are no walls separating it. I also want to edit the room shape of the kitchen and living room to be more accurate of how it is. In the picture added, I want #1 to be added to the living room & #2 to the hallway. Then if possible want to make 3 its own room for the dining room.

No carpet sensor

Horrible a flagship do this... That's why this robot and the flow 1are so bad at carpet and rugs, i can't get mine to clean the edge of the rug with the tile floor, i tried everything. This company should recall these robots and install the sensor, very bad flaw to rely on a camera that cant really identify anything else besides shoes and wire.

Narwal Flow Plumbed Version

I have used Roombas since 2002. I never counted how many we went through, but it was a lot.

I upgraded to a Roborock mopping robot and thought I had found nirvana, until I saw the plumbed version of the Narwal.

The Narwal, with its plumbing feature, is top luxury. The Roborock constantly needed to be cleaned of hair and refilled/emptied. The Narwal never has these issues.

Its navigation is second to none, it's extremely quiet, and it cleans itself much better than any other robotic vacuum.

It wasn't very difficult to install (I used the plumbing from our clothes washer). I only check on it about once a month.

I think Narwal has hit peak design with this one. I have stopped eyeballing other machines, because I really don't think about it anymore. For a few hours a day, it shuffles around the house and then returns to its cave to sleep and wash.

If you have the resources, I'd highly recommend it.

Recommendation Saros 10R or Flow 2

I purchased a Saros 10r and the Flow 2. We have mostly hardwood and tile flooring…. Maybe a few rooms with light carpet. I have to return one of these (both still in box) by Monday. Which should I return?

Sorry, I should mention that our main concern is dog hair. We have two big dogs that shed a lot.

Video feature on Narwal Z Ultra

Hello, today my Narwal Z Ultra arrived and everything's working great so far.

However, for some reason I cannot access the video feature. The app says that I should update firmware to the latest version to be able to use it, but the problem is that I'm already on the latest version.

Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Cheers.

Flow 2 Cleaning Solution Message

Noticed a bit of a quirk with my Flow 2 dock and trying to determine if I am just doing something wrong… after a few weeks of using it, I got the alert in the app to refill the detergent tank. Took it out and it was indeed empty, so refilled it with the Narwal cleaning solution. But I’ve noticed the app is still giving me the alert that the detergent should be refilled. I do believe it is using the soap properly, but just can’t figure out how to trigger the alert to turn off. Any suggestions?

I was sure I wanted the narwal flow 2.

I have a small home (~1200sqft)

I have two pieces I’m looking at on Facebook marketplace.

Please help me choose.
$800 narwal flow 2
$500 eufy e28

Or any other recommendations or course.

Flow 2 keeps skipping carpet

When I run a room with carpet and wood in vacuum then mop mode, it consistently skips the carpet and rugs and only does the wood. Any idea why? The carpet is mapped to be cleaned, not pass through.

Odd behavior when Flow 2 goes back to station

Hi all,

I had the Flow 2 for a couple of weeks and despite a few updates I've had this behavior every single time and I'm wondering if it's normal or an actual issue. After finishing vacuuming it acts like it's already in the base and emptying its dust bin. Check out the video to see what I'm talking about.

Wheel issues?

My Narwal flow recently started stopping very early into its task claiming its wheels can’t turn, but nothing is obstructing them and they turn fine.

It also tells me it’s is obstructed and can’t move but it’s not.

Any ideas?

It’s the little things…

… that continue to impress me about the F2 that’s been running every day here for almost a month. When it’s scheduled to vacuum and mop a room with one of our area rugs it first vacuums the rug which I expect. But unlike with previous robots I’ve had I can then pick up the area rug and it will vacuum and mop where the rug was. My other robots wouldn’t recognize the carpet had been removed and act like the obstacle was still there and avoid that area..

Update - apparently I spoke too soon… now it’s back to refusing to clean carpet similarly to glitch I was experiencing a couple of weeks ago 🤦🏻‍♂️

Freo Z10 Ultra massive overflow & wood flooring destroyed.

Owned this device for little over 6 months now, but since I got it it always had the 2003 error onto it: dock overflow.

Last night I had an interesting surprise from it - finished it's cycle, went to its base, I changed the water from it, and during the night I got the error 2003 again, just pulled it out of the wall and went back to sleep, nothing weird, no water.

Today, I found about 1 liter of water leaking from it onto my wood floor, as well as almost to the brim inside it; I have no clue what happened. While moving it away to clean I saw some water dripping from under it, which is very weird indeed.

Now, I really like it, does a great job in my apartment and would hate to have to return it but seems like the only option right now...

Any advice on how to fix this issue? Especially since I have to manually clean and dry the dock basically after each clean...

Skin protection anti scratches!

I know it is my second post today , but I am curious about something! My new F2 is already scratched! Do you think it would be possible to find skin sticker for protection. Those clear sticker that are perfectly match to the shape of the vacuum and it protects it from scratches.
