What reviewers found
Narwal Freo X Ultra
- TechRadar (Performance 4.5/5): Measured 53 dB. Picked up Cheerios in one pass and handled a soy sauce spill in about two. The app could not split an open plan floor into rooms. Source
- nextpit: Picked up 99% of oat flakes and 98% of sand on tile and 96% of sand on carpet. Ran about 2 hours before returning at 20%. A dust bag burst after six hours of use. Source
Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra
- TechRadar: Solid everyday vacuuming, but fine flour mix stayed after three passes. Great edge mopping and removed dried ketchup. Ran about 2.5 hours and measured about 60 dB. Smart mode skipped rooms and self emptying was unreliable. Subscores: Value 3.5/5, Design 4/5, Performance 3/5 in text (2.5/5 in table), App 3.5/5 in text (3/5 in table). Source
- nextpit: Picked up 96% to 98% of oats and sand on tile and carpet. Called mopping one of the best it has tested, with no damp carpet stains. Battery was at 70% after 30 minutes at max settings. Missed some obstacles and has a large dock. Source
