The Narwal Freo vacuum and mop really seems like it should have it all. It’s got a great look and there’s lots of innovative features. But in truth, it doesn’t hold up to other bots and would really only be appropriate for a home with all hard floors.

On the plus side you’re getting both a vacuum and mop in one, though the vacuuming is extremely inferior compared against other bots we’ve tested. I like the fact it uses floor cleaning solution instead of just plain water, and the design with the removable base tray is really smart. It’s super convenient that it not only washes but also dries your mopping pads and the battery seems to charge quickly. Final good thing about the spot is that it seems quite effective at lifting its mops off low pile carpet and rugs.
On the downside, there is no automatic emptying of the dust bin, and speaking of the vacuum I did not see the dirt detection feature in action, and the overall vacuum performance was extremely poor with it rolling over even simple dried leaves and not picking them up. It also got stuck on almost every outing and it can be quite forceful when it’s bumping its way around. With mopping I didn’t notice that the addition of cleaner or the Dirt Detection feature setting this bot apart.
I’m so disappointed in this robot; I really wanted to love it, but this iteration at least isn’t up to scratch. In my opinion you’d be better off considering some of iRobot’s bots like the j7+ or Combo j7+ which has a retractable mop. Roborock’s S7 Max V Ultra, or the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni are all worthy alternatives.
