About Narwal
Narwal （云鲸） is a Chinese home-robotics company best known for robot vacuums and mops that wash their own mops — the idea behind its first product, the T10, launched in 2019 and later named among TIME’s Best Inventions of 2020. Founded in 2016, the company is headquartered in Shenzhen with manufacturing in Dongguan, and works on SLAM navigation, 3D perception, AI object recognition and dirt detection in-house. Its current line-up is led by the Freo family — Freo Z Ultra with dual-camera AI vision, Freo Z10, Freo X Ultra with a cyclonic tangle-free roller brush, Freo Pro, Freo S and Freo X Plus — and by the Flow series, whose track mop rinses itself in real time while cleaning.
Base stations automate mop washing and drying, dust collection and, on some models, water refill and drainage, and the company’s AI DirtSense system analyses wastewater to decide where to re-mop. Narwal states that its products serve more than 6 million households in over 30 countries and regions, that it shipped about 1.7 million units in 2025 ranking fifth worldwide by robot-vacuum shipments (IDC figures cited by the company), and that more than 700 of its staff work in research and development. It is one of the largest independent premium home-cleaning robot brands to emerge from China.

Narwal is headquartered in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. Its founding is recorded as: 2016 (founded in Songshan Lake, Dongguan; first product, the self-cleaning T10, launched in 2019).
Unlisted; about US$116M in cumulative funding per Tracxn (reported). In April 2025 the company completed a further round of about US$100M led by Tencent and a Beijing robotics industry fund (company announcement, reported in SCMP and legal-adviser releases); the Tracxn cumulative total appears not to fully include that 2025 round, so the true cumulative figure is likely higher and is recorded here as unverified pending a reconciled source.
