QUICK SUMMARY
Narwal has announced the Freo 20, its latest robot vacuum cleaner with a ‘world’s first’ flattened roller mop.
Available via early access, the Narwal Freo 20 has advanced AI detection and mapping modes, as well as a hot water, self-cleaning track mop that washes itself mid-cycle.
Watch out, Eufy – Narwal has just announced its most advanced robot vacuum cleaner and mop yet. Expanding its Freo series, the new Narwal Freo 20 is the first model from the brand to feature a ‘world’s first’ flattened roller mop which self-cleans using hot water mid cycle.
The launch of the Narwal Freo 20 marks many firsts for the brand, including it being the first Freo model to be equipped with Narwal’s FlowWash Mopping System. Rather than having to return to the dock for cleaning, the Narwal Freo 20 continuously washes its mop during a cycle to prevent water marks and cross-contamination.
Most robot vac-mops feature drag, sonic or dual-spinning pads to mop your floors. Where the Narwal Freo 20 differs is it uses a flattened roller or track mop which has a wider contact area to cover more ground as it cleans. As it cleans, the Narwal Freo 20 sprays 140°F of hot, fresh water through its 16 nozzles for an expert clean.
The mop of the Narwal Freo 20 automatically delivers 12N of downward pressure, and rotates in all directions to remove stubborn stains. It also has a built-in scraper and air pump which removes leftover dirt and separates it into another tank so it’s not spreading dirty water on your floors.
As a robot vacuum, the Narwal Freo 20 has 31,000 Pa suction power that’s ideal for all floor types, including carpets and hardwood floors. It also uses DualFlow Tangle-Free system to avoid blockages from human or pet hair, and its EdgeReach technology allows the robot to get into tight corners and right up to the edges of your floor.
For mapping, the Narwal Freo 20 has an incredible advanced camera and AI system which comes with multiple modes that cater to different detections. It uses dual RGB cameras and AI processing to identify over 300 objects, and manoeuver around them using TwinAI Doge technology.
For homes with pets and children, the Narwal Freo 20 has a Pet Care Mode which adjusts the robot to clean around places your pet sleeps or sits. The cameras offer video monitoring so the robot vacuum can double as a security camera so you can check on your pet while you’re away from home.
For children, the Narwal Freo 20 has a Baby Care Mode which allows it to recognise places with cribs and toys. When this happens, the robot vacuum switches to a quieter cleaning mode so it doesn’t disturb your child.
The Narwal Freo 20 comes with its all-in-one dock which has a new woven fabric design to blend into your home and furniture. While the Narwal Freo 20 cleans itself on the go, the dock also has a four-stage cleaning system which washes and dries the mop, and auto-empties the bin.
The Narwal Freo 20 is available via early access with the official launch expected on 20th August. Its full price is $1,099.99 but there’s a launch discount where you can get it for $899.99. As of writing, UK pricing and availability has yet to be announced.
