Narwal has just launched its latest flagship robot vacuum and mop, the J5 Max, in China, and it’s bringing some serious power to the table.
The standout number? A massive 18,500Pa of suction, thanks to Narwal’s custom-built cyclone dust removal system. Pricing starts at 3,599 yuan ($496) for the Water Tank version, while the fully loaded Automatic Water Supply and Drainage version goes for 4,099 yuan ($566).

Narwal J5 Max Specifications
On the hardware front, Narwal is focusing on details that matter in everyday use. The J5 Max features upgraded anti-tangle side brushes and a zero-tangle roller brush, both of which have received SGS certifications.
The side brush uses a clever movable design that naturally sheds hair and funnels debris directly into the dust inlet. The roller brush, built with aerodynamic principles and a conical shape, spirals hair inward and away from trouble. In short, less manual detangling and more set-it-and-forget-it convenience.
There’s also plenty of smart tech on board. The J5 Max comes with an AI-powered single-lens vision system capable of recognizing more than 100 household objects. That means it’s smart enough to avoid clutter and navigate even the messiest rooms with ease. Narwal’s latest Dirtsense 3.0 system also steps things up by sensing dirt levels and adjusting cleaning intensity in real-time, doubling vacuuming and mopping automatically when things get extra grimy.


For mopping duties, Narwal is leaning on its signature LeLuo triangular rotating mop and Whale Fin bionic hand-wiping system. This setup applies a consistent 12N of downward pressure to handle stubborn stains, even along tricky edges. The robot also takes care of itself, with features like automatic mop cleaning, antibacterial hot water rinsing heated between 45°C and 75°C, and dust bags that can go up to 90 days before needing replacement.
The base station is just as smart, offering automatic water exchange on the higher-end version, self-emptying, and intelligent drying. All of this runs on a 5,200mAh battery that promises up to three hours of continuous cleaning. And yes, it’s all packaged in a clean, minimal design that feels right at home in modern spaces.
