Narwal S20 Pro Cordless Vacuum Mop with Self-Cleaning, Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner for Hard Floors

Verdict

The Narwal S20 Pro is one of the most complete wet dry vacuums available, combining powerful cleaning, smart automation and excellent everyday usability. If you want a hard floor cleaner that handles everything from daily spills to dried-on stains with minimal effort, this is an easy product to recommend despite lacking headlights and app controls.

Pros

  • Maneuverability & Handling 3 reviews 5.0
    A low center of gravity, self-propelled brush and highly pivoting, lay-flat head give it excellent maneuverability, helping it glide and snake around and under furniture with minimal effort, and users say it takes noticeably less muscle than many rival wet dry vacuums.
  • Overall opinion 3 reviews 5.0
    Overall sentiment is strongly enthusiastic: many reviewers describe the S20 Pro as the most complete, satisfying and recommendable wet dry vacuum in this comparison, with some long-time testers calling it the closest thing to a perfect hard-floor cleaner they have used.
  • Under-Furniture Pickup 3 reviews 5.0
    Its lay flat head reaches far under furniture, allowing it to collect debris where taller heads cannot and reducing the need to move heavy pieces.
  • Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake 2 reviews 5.0
    Reviews report that large oatmeal clumps, pet food, cereal and similar debris are picked up cleanly in a single pass, with the open nozzle and forward-and-reverse roller motion helping prevent clogs or scatter on hard floors even during heavy mixed liquid-and-solid messes.
  • Suction & Airflow 2 reviews 5.0
    Reviews highlight its 20,000 Pa suction and strong downforce, noting that it rivals upright vacuums and even the Bissell Crosswave on hard floors while still handling heavy and sticky messes in one or two passes.
  • Weight 2 reviews 5.0
  • Fresh Liquid Pickup Speed 1 review 5.0
    Reviewers note that fresh liquid spills such as milk are usually cleared in a single slow pass, with the vacuum quickly pulling up both liquid and floating debris so messes rarely require repeated cleaning passes.
  • Hair Pickup — Hard Floors 1 review 5.0
    Tests with long, brightly colored hair on hard floors show that the S20 Pro reliably lifts strands into the dirty tank without leaving visible hair behind, making it a strong option for households with long-haired family members or pets.
  • Price & Value 1 review 5.0
  • Controls & UI 3 reviews 4.8
    Owners praise the bright animated display and five well chosen modes, including a max enhancement trigger and dirt-sensing feedback, for giving clear information on time and mode, and newer reviews highlight handy touches like countdown timers, solution on or off indicators and an auto-rotating screen that always faces the user.
  • Hair‑Wrap / Tangle Resistance 3 reviews 4.8
    Bidirectional brush and anti tangle combs provide excellent hair management, with tests showing virtually no hair left wrapped after cleaning, and reviewers report that even long strands are captured in the solids filter rather than winding around the brush roll.
  • Noise level 3 reviews 4.8
    Drying mode runs at under about 40 dB, making it notably quieter than most rivals and comfortable to run in living areas, and owners also describe general cleaning and self-clean cycles as pleasantly quiet for a wet dry vacuum.
  • Solution / Liquid system 3 reviews 4.8
    A separate soap tank automatically doses cleaner into the water stream and includes an indicator when the reservoir runs low, letting users choose stronger or lighter ratios, avoid wasting pre-mixed solution and remove the guesswork from mixing, and owners appreciate that a single fill can last for weeks while a trigger toggle makes it easy to turn solution flow on or off.
  • Aesthetic design & finish 2 reviews 4.8
    Most owners describe the body and dock as compact and futuristic, with a sleek, modern gray-and-silver look that feels more high tech and less bulky than many competing wet dry vacuums, and reviewers note that the bright animated screen further reinforces its premium appearance.
  • Ease of use 2 reviews 4.8
    Users find the push-button tanks, self-propelled movement and largely hands-off self-cleaning and drying make day-to-day use simple, and recent reviewers add that the low-effort glide, flip-out solids filter and easy-latching dirty water bin further reduce the hassle of setup and cleanup.
  • Emptying & Mess Control 2 reviews 4.8
    A well-sealed dirty tank with an internal debris catch keeps solids out of the wastewater, making it easier and less messy to empty than designs that mix everything together in a single cavity, and reviewers have observed that even cereal, hair and other chunky debris stay in the solids compartment so you can dump trash and pour out water separately.
  • Self-propel feature 2 reviews 4.8
    Owners frequently mention a gentle self-propelled feel from the brush head, which helps the vacuum pull itself forward so cleaning large hard floor areas requires minimal pushing effort, and recent reviews note that even without powered drive wheels it still feels eager and easy to guide around the room.
  • Water tank 2 reviews 4.8
    The bottom-mounted magnetic clean water tank is easy to dock and fill, offers capacity comparable to rival models and shortens internal water paths, which can help reduce clogging and simplify refills, while the low-mounted mass also lowers the center of gravity so the vacuum feels more stable and easier to steer.
  • Self-cleaning cycle 3 reviews 4.7
    Its self cleaning extracts water then uses a quiet heated plate with sensors that extend drying between roughly 30 and 80 minutes, consistently leaving the brush very dry even in humid climates, though some users wish the cycle used more rinse water after very heavy or colored messes.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 2 reviews 4.5
    Owners highlight smart automation features including blue-light dirt sensing that boosts suction and water on dirty patches, moisture sensors that dynamically extend brush drying between roughly 30 and 80 minutes, and the ability to queue cleaning or drying until the battery is charged, making the lack of a companion app largely irrelevant for most users.
  • Dried-On Stain Removal 2 reviews 4.5
    Repeated tests on dried coffee, cola, sauce and even fully dried ketchup spills show that the dual-direction brush and strong suction can break up and lift stuck-on messes in one or a few slow passes without leaving heavy residue, even when stains have been left to dry for many hours.
  • Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 2 reviews 4.5
    Dual-edge coverage on both sides and the front lets the S20 Pro clean very close to walls and baseboards, with tests showing fewer crumbs left along edges than typical one-sided edge designs and measured gaps of roughly 0.65 cm from the skirting.
  • Runtime (Measured, Default) 2 reviews 4.5

Cons

  • Headlight & LED lights 1 review 2.5
    Unlike some rival wet dry vacuums, the S20 Pro floorhead does not include LED headlights, which a few users miss for spotting debris in darker areas, although most consider this a minor omission rather than a reason to avoid the machine.
