Narwal is responsible for some of our favorite robot vacuums, including the premium Narwal Freo Z Ultra, which features a modern aesthetic and ultra-quiet operation. The company’s track record of innovation continued at CES 2025 with the reveal of the Narwal Flow — an upcoming robot vacuum built with a powerful new mopping system.
The Narwal Flow employs a new type of mopping system (dubbed the FlowWash Mopping System) that actively cleans its rolling mopping plate as it’s cleaning your floors. This ensures you won’t be tracking dirty mops across the ground and should result in a better overall cleaning experience. The robot is equipped with both a clean and dirty water tank, allowing it to extract dirty water from the mop while simultaneously rewetting it. This allows the mop to remain in excellent condition without needing to head back to the docking station for self-cleaning.
Even better, the mop can be extended outward to better reach near edges and under furniture for improved floor coverage.
Narwal also gave vacuuming performance a boost, as the robot introduces a new feature called Deep Carpet Boost. When activated, the dust pickup rate is amplified by using counter-directional movement of the main roller brush and a flexible adaptive brush cover positioned near the carpet. Narwal says this will create “high-pressure air zone boosts” that excel at pulling out hair and dirt lodged deep between carpet fibers.
As you’d expect, the Narwal Flow is paired with a docking station that automatically empties its dustbin, washes its mop with hot water, and dries the mop with warm air. It’ll also fill the robot’s water tank automatically, ensuring it’s ready for the next cleaning task. Other improvements include an upgraded camera and obstacle avoidance system, the ability to cross thresholds up to 40mm tall, and a brush design that helps eliminate tangles.
The Narwal Flow will be available in June 2025. Expect to learn more about pricing in the coming weeks.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
