The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete is the stronger all-around cleaner, pairing 35,000 Pa of suction with dual spinning mop pads that press harder, spin faster, and wash themselves at higher temperatures. The Narwal Flow counters with a roller mop, two side brushes, and a lower price, making it a solid pick for hard-floor homes where the mopping does most of the work. Homes with carpet, pets, and a lot of daily mess get more out of the Dreame; budget-conscious buyers with mostly bare floors lose less by going with the Flow.
Roller mop versus dual spinning pads is the real fork in the road here. Narwal built the Flow around a continuously rinsed roller, a newer approach to floor washing that keeps fresh water at the front of the mop. Dreame went the other direction with the X60 Max Ultra Complete, doubling down on spinning pads that scrub with 15 N of pressure and a dock that washes them at near-boiling temperatures. Add a wide gap in suction, a taller obstacle clearance on the Dreame, and a price difference that favors Narwal, and this comparison comes down to what your floors actually need.
Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete
out of 10Narwal Flow
The Dreame X60 Max Ultra Complete takes this one with an 8.7 overall rating against the Narwal Flow's 7.8. Cleaning is the big reason: 9.1 versus 7.8 means the Dreame pulls more dirt out of carpet and handles messes you'd otherwise go back over by hand. Its 9.7 features rating against 5.7 also means far more automation and control at your fingertips. The Narwal Flow does edge ahead on navigation, 8.1 to 7.7, so it moves around furniture and clutter a bit more gracefully. Both are priced about right.
Suction sets the tone: 35,000 Pa on the Dreame against 22,000 Pa on the Narwal, backed by a dual rubber-and-bristle brush and an extendable side brush that reaches into corners. Mopping splits along technology lines, with Dreame's dual spinning pads turning at 230 RPM under 15 N of pressure versus the Flow's roller at 110 RPM and 12 N. Dock behavior differs too. The X60 washes its pads at 212 °F and dries them at 149 °F, compared to 176 °F and 104 °F on the Flow, and it adds detergent automatically during washing. Obstacle clearance is another split, 88 mm versus 40 mm, so the Dreame climbs over thicker thresholds and taller rug edges without stalling.
35,000 Pa against 22,000 Pa is a wide gap, and the Dreame backs it with a dual rubber-and-bristle main brush, an extendable side brush that swings out for corners, and a 235 mL onboard dustbin. The Flow uses two side brushes to sweep debris toward the center, which helps along baseboards, but its combo brush and lower suction don't dig as deep into carpet pile.
Narwal's roller mop is the newer idea and it keeps the cleaning surface fresher as it works, but the Dreame's dual spinning pads apply more force where it counts: 230 RPM and 15 N of pressure versus 110 RPM and 12 N, with 32 moisture levels for fine control. The Dreame also washes pads at 212 °F and dries at 149 °F, compared to 176 °F and 104 °F, so its pads come back cleaner and less prone to smelling.
Pet hair responds to suction and to how often you empty things, and the Dreame wins on both with 35,000 Pa and a 3.2 L dust bag versus the Flow's 22,000 Pa and smaller bag. If you have a shedding golden retriever, that means fewer trips to the dock and less hair woven into the carpet.
Both run LiDAR plus a camera and the same obstacle avoidance stack (AI, camera, 3D structured light and an LED for dark rooms), so socks and cables get dodged either way. The difference is physical: 88 mm of obstacle clearance on the Dreame against 40 mm on the Flow, which matters if your home has raised thresholds or thick rug edges.
Both docks empty the dustbin, wash the mop, and dry it with warm air. The Dreame's dock runs hotter (212 °F wash, 149 °F dry versus 176 °F and 104 °F), holds a 3.2 L dust bag, carries a 4.2 L clean water tank plus a 3 L dirty water tank, and adds detergent automatically during washing for cleaner pads.
The Narwal Flow runs up to 190 minutes on a charge, which covers a large single floor without a mid-clean pause. The Dreame adds off-peak charging, so it tops itself up when electricity rates are lower.
Both cover the essentials: voice control, no-go zones, multi-level maps for multi-story homes, smart carpet cleaning, and smart obstacle avoidance. The Dreame spells out broad platform support with built-in voice commands plus Amazon, Google, and Apple, so it slots into most existing setups without an extra hub.

The X60 Max Ultra Complete is the better machine on almost every hardware measure, from suction to mop pressure to dock wash temperature. The Flow makes sense when your floors are mostly hard surfaces, your budget has a ceiling, and quiet, long cleaning runs matter more than carpet performance.
