The Dreame X60 Ultra takes the harder-working approach: dual brushes, an extendable side brush that reaches into corners, 35,000 Pa of suction, and dual spinning mop pads that press down with 15 N of force. The Narwal Flow 2 counters with a roller mop that keeps a continuously rinsed surface against your floors plus a bigger onboard water tank, and it costs noticeably less. Buyers who want the strongest all-around carpet and hard floor cleaning should take the Dreame; buyers focused on hard floor mopping value who don't mind a single brush setup will be happy with the Narwal.
Two different philosophies about how a robot should mop your kitchen floor. Dreame's X60 Ultra spins a pair of pads at 230 RPM and leans on 15 N of downward pressure to scrub. Narwal's Flow 2 uses a roller mop, the newest approach on the market, which keeps a fresh surface rolling against the floor rather than dragging the same dirty pad around. Both use LiDAR paired with a camera and 3D structured light for navigation, both empty their own dust, and both handle multi-level maps. So the decision comes down to brush hardware, mopping style, and how much you want to spend.
Dreame X60 Ultra
out of 10Narwal Flow 2
The gap here is real. Dreame takes cleaning 8.8 versus 7.5, which lines up with its dual brush setup, extendable side brush, and 35,000 Pa against 30,000 Pa. Navigation goes 9.3 versus 8.8, and value lands at 9.7 versus 9.1 even though the Narwal costs less. Features are essentially even at 9.5 versus 9.6, since both cover the same smart home ground. Overall, 9.7 against 8.9 gives the Dreame a clear edge.
Brush hardware sets the tone. The X60 Ultra runs a dual main brush (rubber and bristle) plus a side brush that both extends outward and lifts, so corners and edges get reached without the robot bumping into baseboards. The Flow 2 uses a single rubber and bristle brush and a fixed side brush. Mopping splits along technology lines: Dreame's twin pads spin at 230 RPM with 15 N of pressure and lift 10.5 mm to clear carpet, and they detach automatically before vacuuming so they never get dragged over rugs. Narwal's roller turns at 80 RPM with 12 N and feeds from a larger onboard water tank. Obstacle clearance also differs sharply, 88 mm versus 40 mm, which matters for door thresholds and thick rug edges.
Two main brushes beat one, and the X60 Ultra pairs that with 35,000 Pa against the Flow 2's 30,000 Pa plus a side brush that extends to sweep along walls. The Narwal's single rubber-and-bristle brush still handles everyday debris well, but it has less to work with on thick carpet.
Roller mops like the Flow 2's are the newest idea in mopping and keep a clean surface against the floor, but the Dreame's dual spinning pads apply more scrubbing action at 230 RPM and 15 N versus 80 RPM and 12 N. The Narwal's larger onboard water tank means longer stretches between refills mid-run.
For homes with a shedding dog, the Dreame's extra suction (35,000 Pa versus 30,000 Pa) and dual brush design pull hair off carpet more aggressively. Its 3.2 L dust bag also holds more than the Narwal's 2.5 L, so you swap bags less often during shedding season.
Both use AI, a camera, and 3D structured light on top of LiDAR, so obstacle dodging is strong either way. The X60 Ultra adds an LED to help it see in dark rooms and clears obstacles up to 88 mm versus 40 mm, and it stores maps for up to four floors.
Both docks empty the robot automatically, so the difference is capacity. The Dreame's 3.2 L bag runs longer between changes than the Narwal's 2.5 L.
The Flow 2 carries the bigger cell at 7,000 mAh against the Dreame's 6,400 mAh, which helps on large single runs. The X60 Ultra offsets that with off-peak charging, so it tops up when electricity rates are lower.
This one's a tie. Both work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple, both have built-in voice control, and both support no-go zones, multi-level maps, and smart obstacle avoidance.

The X60 Ultra is the more complete cleaner, stronger on carpet, better at edges, and more thorough at scrubbing. The Flow 2 gives up some of that but keeps the navigation smarts and smart home support intact for less money. Mostly hard floors on a budget? Narwal. Mixed floors and pets? Dreame.
