  • ✓194°F hot-water self-wash and hot-air drying dock handles the gross part automatically
  • ✓Automatic 100ml detergent dispensing means no measuring cleaning solution
  • ✓Anti-tangle roller brush is built specifically to cut hair rather than let it wind up
  • ✓20,000Pa suction is a strong figure for this category of machine
  • ✓Under 10 lbs makes it easy to maneuver and carry between rooms
  • ✗Narwal doesn't publish water tank capacity, dustbin size, or noise level for this model
  • ✗60-minute max battery life (55 typical) means recharging mid-clean in larger homes
