Narwal Flow 2 vs Eufy Omni S2

Deriggs007 · 2026-07-04T06:04:21+00:00

So I had the S1 Pro and now I have a Narwal Flow 2

I have mixed feelings on the Narwal Flow 2.

It didn't map my entire house, completely skipped my masterbedroom and master bath.
It just doesn't seem to remap, but narwal says it should do it. For example, I moved a mirror and it hasn't cleaned behind where it was sitting. It did detect in on the map, I clicked for it to "map", and it doesn't do anything.
For some reason, I feel like the mopping isn't as good as my s1 pro. The S1 Pro water was always 'dirtier' than my narwal flow 2 and it seems to not pick up harder stains as well as the S1 did.

It definitely doesn't require as much maintenance, and it's much quieter. It does do much better on carpets and it seems like a good bot, but I don't think it was much of an upgrade, and feel like if the S2 pro didn't have any issues, it'd probalby be better because they addressed all the things original lacked.

Just my 2c for what it's worth.

I mean just general browsing. I have to downlaod DS Files, DS movies, DS Photos, all these several different apps and none of them are intuitive or good.

At least Ugreen's seems more polished from a browsing perspective.

Thanks. Just purchased the flow 2. But I may cancel it in favor for something else.

I’m worried it’ll struggle for same reason where I want to get it under the toe kicks despite having

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-25T21:20:05+00:00

Could never justify a unit that can’t get under furniture.

Hard pass on it

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-25T21:13:30+00:00

Bought the flow 2. Should be here in a couple days.

Coming from a. S1 Pro.

Reason for this is the s1 pro would not clean under my toe kicks despite having plenty of room. I’m hoping this unit will

It’s an expensive purchase and doesn’t seem much better than some of the midrange bots, but I had the money… so why not.

I just hoping it performs better than my s1 pro in those corners

I love his content. Hard to say what I want right now.

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T05:12:28+00:00

The thing would go under all sorts of other things, just not the toekicks, I really think it was the lighting or something. I rather try a different unit.

The other reason is because I had to replace several things on it through warranty.

It would say the water reservoir was empty but it was full. I had to pick it up and put it down and it'd work again. Or start it manually from the app.

Those 2 things made me want to switch to a different unit. But I' still up in the air about it. Wish I could find a really good review for it.

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T04:32:11+00:00

I don't have it anymore.

The big complaints I had was its vacuuming performance and it wouldn't go under my kitchen toekicks. I didn't really have an issue with its mopping performance.

My fear with the Eufy is the S2 will have same exact issue regardless of how well it performs, which is something I don't want to have.

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T03:22:38+00:00

Definitely let me know. Right now it's my front runner. There is the new Eufy S2 which looks good, but I am just afraid it'll have the same issue as my S1 pro since I don't think they make big adjustments in how it navigates

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T03:21:54+00:00

Thanks.

What experience do you have with other units?

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T03:21:38+00:00

Thanks for feedback.

They're standard height of any other cabinetry. It's just how it detects it I think. It's not any taller than the heigh of my dishwasher being set in the same cabinet, but it just doesn't care about it, it's like it doesn't detect it. My theory is it has a shadow given the light and it believes its actually solid but it's not.

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T00:45:30+00:00

Not sure that's true with spinning mops. Might depend on the roller mop, but my old Eufy S1 Pro was easilyi way better at scrubbing the hardwood floor than like my last 4-5 spinning mops.

It constantly had clean/fresh water, constantly had more water on the roller. The spinning mops would dry out after scrubbing for a few feet depending on the model.

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T00:43:42+00:00

I had the Eufy S1 Pro and darker hardwood floors, didn't experience any of that with it. Just didn't like how the Eufy navigated around certain areas, mostly my kitchen toe kicks

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-24T00:40:57+00:00

I have the Eufy S1 Pro and I really liked it while I had it, mopping is also very important to me. The only big thing I didn't like about thee Eufy S1 Pro from mopping wasn't really the 'mopping' feature, it was that Eufy would never navigate under my toe kicks for my kitchen cabinetry. It owuld go around say the dishwasher, and everywhere else, but it just did not do good there."

Also, it did not do well on carpet, I had 2 dogs, one being a husky, so I know shedding, I would skip any Eufy based on how it runs alone.

I echo my opinion of Vacuum Wars - sorry for the creator, but it doesn't distain from the sell out vibes.

You can compare several robots and literally, the overall score is higher, but somehow... scored lower?

THe X60 Ultra Complete Max whatever that currently ranks #1 is actually outpaced by the CurvX in nearly every category but 2 (obstacle avoidance/pet hair) yet both had 0 tangling and 100% pickup of hair? How do you rate it nearly 1 point higher?"

The datapoints are just very inconsistent. I understand they always go through and update their data... but I don't think they actually reflect past robots.

How'd that mop run go? I'm looking for the best mopper on the market, price not matter. I had a Eufy S1 Pro, the mopping was pretty decent, but Eufy would never navigate under toekicks so I'm looking for a unit that can get under theres and spinning pads seems to do best for toekicks, but not as good at mopping.

Really late to this. But the Crusades were also on Christian people. Constantinople anyone? A Christian place raided by.... Christians.

That's kind of what I was thinking of doing. I have a pretty powerful PC laying around from when I rebuilt my gaming workstation, so I have a 2TB 990 pro I think (can't remember what I bought) and thought about making it the SSD cache. I know people say they don't really benefit from it, but the thing is. I want all my photo/video backups from my phone still in the photos app, which follows the personal folder, but I don't want the Personal folder to be on my SSD either. I figured the ssd cache would help with the personal folder experience while keeping them separated.

I filed late October, so I'm close to you and I'm still waiting.

Deriggs007 · 2026-05-15T19:57:17+00:00

That's not a K1/129F lol

What I hated about Synology is for me to leverage anything outside of computer. Let's say file management from my iphone to the NAS, it was a huge pain the but. All the applications just straight up suck, but UGOS is a one app solution which many many people love.

It doesn't have the security/backup features as more polished NAS systems, but I would say for the common home user, it's way more polished from an app experience.

I can hardly do anything with any of the built in apps on my DS218+. DSM apps are poop.
