What reviewers found
Narwal Freo Z10 Turbo
- Techaeris (9.4/10): Strong suction on low pile rugs and grout, excellent mopping with good edge reach, and up to 210 minutes on hardwood, but it missed objects under 2 cm and took odd routes between rooms. Source
- Gizmodo: Solid, very quiet vacuuming that outperformed many pricier robots and great battery life, ending a 3 hour vacuum and mop of 750 sq ft with about 40% left, but so so mopping that spread a ketchup spill and clunky app spot cleaning. Source
Roborock QV 35S
- Tom's Guide: On hardwood it picked up 92% hair, 94.5% puffed rice and 98% flax seeds. On high pile carpet it got 40% hair and 38.5% flax seeds. About 55 dB mopping and 60 dB vacuuming. Called it ideal for hardwood homes. Source
- Ideal Home: Handled rice, flour, ketchup and dog hair on hard floors, mapped each floor in about 5 min, and had about 40% battery left after the whole house. Weaker on carpet and dog hair in rugs, and the app was buggy at times. Source
