NARWAL Freo Z Ultra Robot Vacuum & Mop Combo DETAILED REVIEW Just How Good Is It?

[@mattstechreview3310]

From all the videos I have watched, I have seen that Narwhal has focused very much on its AI. From the base, not only knowing if it needs to have the robot remop, a surface, or if it needs to rewash the mop pads. But also, how hot the water needs to be while it's washing the pads. That is especially good if it's cleaning up. Different types of dirt, oil, or spills, etc .And of course, not to mention the AI that is completely packed into the robot itself. From the extremely good obstacle advoyance, also how it can identify if it's needing to turn off, it's brush roll and the suction. To focus on a wet mess, then it will go back-and-forth to the base station until that mess is cleaned up. Or it raising its mop pads and boosting the suction to focus on a dry mess. Not to mention the picture taking or the very good depth perception to tell how far its from the obstacle.There are just so many features with the robot itself. I think this particular robot, it's the type to turn on the AI function and leave it alone, let it figure the mess out. Hopefully, 1 day I can get my hands-on one. Until then, I'll just keep watching your amazing videos.

We got this vacuum after our ecovas broke. This vacuum seems a little confusing at the beginning as you said there are lots of settings and it seems to work a little different because of the FREO AI. We have a dog two girls and two boys and there hasn't been one hair caught up in the brush in about two weeks. Obsticle avoidance is great. It does a great job with almost no maintenance as long as you check the water containers. We are very happy with the robot so far. Thanks for the review.

Is Freo Z superior to Curv or L40 for a no carpet house and long hair ?

[@eddieneedsboost]

Thanks for the video. Just ordered one with the automatic water exchange!

[@JustADad]

Glad I could help!

[@MightyCalves]

Good day sir, thanks for the video! Currently (Black friday offers) I can get the Freo Z Ultra, Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra or Dreame X40 Ultra for about 1000USD. Which would you get? Thanks :)

[@JustADad]

This is super hard. all are good, freo z best mopping but uses alot of water.. s8 best obstical avoidance. dreame L40 is better than x40. Dream L40 is not the best at these two items but right in the middle with both.

[@MightyCalves]

@JustADad Thanks for the reply! How srange that you find the L40 better. According to their own page, it's supposed to be a slightly inferior model: -Less battery 5200 mAh vs 6400 mAh -Little less suction power 11000 Pa vs 12000 Pa -Has 1 laser instead of 2 for obstacle avoidance -Avoid less obstacles 100 instead of 120 -65°C vs 70°C hot water mop pads washing Its supposed to be cheaper but because of the black Friday offer, the x40 is cheaper 🤪 Thanks again for advices and good reviews!

[@emidior7948]

I like it, I want one!

[@arthurharms5502]

How is it for cleaning specific rooms in the second map?

[@danielstechclocksandmore]

I think there might be a way for you to customize when it auto empties the dust bin and washes the mop pads

[@davidhansen5574]

i have the dreame x40 for a test month, how does this compare?`because the freo z is 500 dollars cheaper where i live.

[@nanobot5365]

It doesent have that good vacuum power but the obstikal avoidens the mopping and the ai functions are better

[@krystianstepien5835]

Dreame is better but as you have noticed 1/3 more expensive.

[@Tradetrade620]

They need to add blowing air for corners like shark does. That's alot of dirt remaining

[@vkdlvkdl]

I returned this due to terrible edge cleaning and requiring frequent refill of the water. Cleaning time is very long also.

[@JustADad]

i get that, good points.

[@Sheps246]

@@vkdlvkdl that's only for the first week or two (we have a big house) , once it knows everything and has cleaned it multiple times it becomes very efficient. Are house had about 3500 square feet of cleaning and it can literally do the entire house, three floors with two recharges. It's very impressive. I was also thinking edge cleaning would be the the biggest knock against it but really its been doing fine, just my experience.

[@vkdlvkdl]

​@@Sheps246I had the vacuum for 30 days and ran it everyday so no that's not the case.

[@michaelplaczek9385]

Best anti-tangle brush methinks

[@JustADad]

I love it!

[@maryscotson6171]

Hey, Can you do eureka j15 pro ultra, it has been just released and they say that it has 16200 PA which is a lot in term of vaccum robot, if you could review it and emphesise on the size of the pad and the robot size compared to the dreame x40 or roborock s8 maxv ultra, also the size to the internal water tank and the size of the clean water and dirty water, abd whether the mopping pads and brush roller are interchangeable with eureka j12 ultra. I'm fan of your work you are doing an incredible job man, chers from France

[@JustADad]

I ordered it and it will come next week.

[@maryscotson6171]

@JustADad perfect, I knew it you wouldn't miss that one, Thank you

No on board water tank at this price is a let down. To clean an average home it’s going to have to go back to the base a lot to keep the mops wet.

[@rxappdev]

It's a pro and a con. Many years ago, I had bacteria or something grow in my Roborock S5 Max water tank. It was like big clumps of goo that grew in the tank. The robot was not used for maybe 2-3 weeks during summer, and there was some sun shining on the water tank for parts of the day. Anyway, since S5 Max had removable water tank, it was no issue just taking it out, and after maybe 30 minutes I managed to wash it out. The goo did not return after so it was no big deal. However, if it was an internal tank, then there is no way to clean it. So I have not bought any robot that does not allow me to remove the tank since. Having no tank at all is second best option in my opinion. I live in a big city in Sweden, so the water should be always good quality.

[@ItzAwsomeWasTaken]

Personally, I find it will make more mess with an in board water tank because it’s just putting water in the floor and not absorbing anything.

[@Sheps246]

I initially thought the same but I've come to change my opinion after using it. The mop pads have to be cleaned regularly during a mopping otherwise it just streaks the floor so it really should go back to the base station anyways, instead of just putting more water onto the floor. The vacuum does this mop cleaning quickly and efficiently, it's fast, it knows where it's going and just does it. I had the deebot t20 before and the process took a lot longer so it really dragged out the process but this seems to just work quickly, probably becuase of the hot water helps.

[@khakiswag]

@ this is the reason I went with the Eufy S1 Pro, it has a self cleaning mop. Since dirt is cleaned off the mop as it works it never leaves streaks. The only time it has to go back to the base is if the dirty water tank is full, the clean water tank is empty or the dust bin is full. It does a mop washing at the base when it’s done. It also uses far less water this way so I don’t have to refill the tank often. Its regular price is the same as this one but there is always a sale.

[@lee503]

I have 2 of these and not having on board water is not a problem. Ask me any questions. I have zero regrets.

[@ngourju]

Interesting how it did not really address “the paw print” wonder if the floor’s wood pattern throws off the AI’s pattern matching. I hope there’s a « one pass clean it all dumb mode » rather than it trying to be too clever by half . Thanks for the real world experience and I liked the informal brand comparison at the end , it would be nice to have general comparison of brands like build quality, reliability and stuff that does not come out on a mop tests of a single item. Keep up the good work.

[@affliction6911]

Now I know you mentioned that Electro lies in the water what does it actually do though?

[@BlazingNina]

Google

[@jonathangoldsmith7832]

Have you seen the 3i S10 Ultra??? It looks insane. I hope you get to try it out.

[@CleaningBotAddict-zt7er]

I thought so too, but turned out to have terrible carpet performance. Might be OK for hard floors only, but object avoidance wasn't so good either. Also app is limited, and roller gets hair tangles.

[@JustADad]

I am going to get it

[@rxappdev]

What's the name of your little friend at 21:23?

[@JustADad]

So I had to go back and look. Wow it’s a bug. That is so funny. Thanks for that. I had no idea

[@rxappdev]

@@JustADad Hehe yeah it was quite fun. At first I thought you noticed it, then you shoved your finger in there and at that moment I knew you haven't seen it. Hopefully the beetle enjoys his heated "room".

[@warmfreeze]

i dont get the narwal hype.. almost all of the reviews ive seen on them are lackluster but somehow they try to hype them up in their reviews.. to me... the only thing they have going for them is their AI seems quite a bit better than some others..

[@bobcat7664]

Not as good as people reckon 👎
