Narwal might be best known for its robot vacuums, but the smart home company is also responsible for a shockingly popular cordless mop. The Narwal S10 Pro only lasted a few months on Amazon before selling out, and its successor, the Narwal S20 Pro, is poised to do the same. Offering more suction for better performance, a unique self-cleaning design, and AI DirtSense to automatically adjust its settings based on the task at hand, it looks like a powerful addition to your floor cleaning arsenal.

The Narwal S20 Pro packs 20,000 Pa of suction power, which should be more than enough to tackle most spills and stains. Along with heaps of suction, it’s equipped with a zero-tangle brush and a versatile 180-degree flat-reach design that lets you swing it underneath furniture for an all-over clean.

Its coolest feature is arguably AI DirtSense technology, as this allows the cordless mop to automatically switch between five different cleaning modes based on the dirt levels picked up by its sensors.

In other words, you won’t have to guess which setting to use as you push the mop around your home, as it’ll do all the thinking for you. Toss in a 60-minute battery life, a docking station that rinses and dries its mop, and a quiet operating volume, and you’ve got a nice successor to the popular S10 Pro.

This isn’t the only powerful floor cleaner revealed this month, as we also saw the Dyson WashG1 debut on October 1. It only runs for around 35 minutes on a charge, but it looks like an ultra-premium alternative to the Narwal S20 Pro.

The Narwal S20 Pro is available for $500. Along with the cordless mop and self-cleaning base, your purchase includes a cleaning brush and bottle of detergent.

Apple’s upcoming smart home push is starting to involve more companies than we initially expected. LG is reportedly making a collection of accessories that Apple helped develop, including locks, cameras, a thermostat, and a video doorbell. Now, ADT could potentially have a role to play once some of that hardware reaches your home.

According to MacRumors, there are signs that Apple may announce a partnership with ADT alongside its new smart home products. Nothing has been confirmed yet, but the rumored tie-up would make a lot of sense if Apple wants to make its new ecosystem easier to install.

Apple’s HomePod mini has spent nearly six years running on the same S5 chip. New colors have kept the small speaker looking fresh, but its next update could give it a more useful role around the house. Apple is reportedly preparing a HomePod mini 2 with upgraded processing and connectivity, just as its HomeView smart home display approaches.

Earlier leaks from Apple’s software pointed to a familiar design and new colors. The latest reporting suggests the bigger changes will be inside, giving the speaker the hardware to support Siri AI and work alongside Apple’s upcoming home hub.

Apple’s October 13 “Welcome Home” event is just days away, and new details of the company’s long-rumored smart home hub have surfaced. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the device will be called HomeView and is expected to ship around mid-November, several weeks after Apple shows it off on October 13.

We have been hearing about this device for quite some time. Earlier reports described a roughly 6-inch square display that could sit on a countertop or mount to a wall, recognize different members of a household, and act as the central controller for everything from locks and thermostats to smart speakers. The latest report fills in some of the biggest remaining blanks.
