Track record

Warranty in Spain

S3

Measured against Spain’s 3-year legal guarantee.

Less than a year extra

Narwal's official-store warranty is 1 year; extended cover is a paid add-on.

1 source

Security updates promised

S1

A published minimum period of updates, counted from launch.

None stated

No published firmware/security update period found.

Updates for older models

S2

Whether models 2 or 4 years old got firmware in the last year.

No evidence

No evidence found of firmware updates for Narwal models 2+ years old.

Parts for older models

R3

Whether parts are still sold for the brand’s model from 5 years earlier.

Nothing orderable

Brand-level (Narwal, robot-vacuum). Old model: Narwal T10, Narwal's first robot (self-cleaning mop-and-vacuum, Red Dot Product Design 2020). Narwal's Spain store (eu.narwal.com/es-es) lists 42 products, and every part is for the Freo (2022+) or Flow families. Nothing is listed for the T10. No official T10 part is orderable for delivery to Spain.

Battery

R1

Whether a replacement battery is sold, and who can fit it.

Brand’s service only

No battery is sold to users, but Narwal says battery problems are fixed through its repair service (service-centre fitting).

1 source

Without the internet

I1

What still works with no account and no connection.

Partly offline

Narwal says most of its robots map, clean and return to dock from physical buttons without the app. Scheduling offline isn't confirmed, so scored conservatively at low.

Local control

I2

Matter, or an official local API.

Matter or local API

Narwal Flow is Matter certified by the CSA (spec 1.4, Wi-Fi, robotic vacuum device type).

Security practice

P1

A published vulnerability disclosure policy, and fixes within 90 days.

One of the two

Narwal publishes a Vulnerability Management Policy (ISO/IEC 29147/30111, [email protected], PGP, 3-business-day acknowledgement). No Narwal advisory or CVE exists, so a 90-day fix record cannot be shown; KISA's Sept 2025 findings on the Freo Z Ultra app give conflicting reports on fix timing.

Your data

P3

In-app deletion, and no use of device data for advertising.

One of the two

The account can be deleted in-app; Narwal's EU privacy policy describes sharing with marketing partners for advertising and doesn't exclude device data.
