Narwal Freo X Ultra

LiDAR SLAM 4.0 gives a 360 degree scan of the room, backed by tri-laser structured light sensors for obstacles

Structured light forward and edge sensors let it recognise objects as small as 1 cm and clean within 5 mm of them

Five infrared ranging and anti-drop sensors on the robot's underside, per the Narwal user manual

Builds 3D maps that can be edited in the app, and stores up to 4 maps for multi-level homes

No-go zones are drawn on the map from the Narwal Freo app

A 1 L disposable dust bag rides inside the robot, which compresses debris into it for up to 7 weeks

The base station has no dust collection. Narwal contrasts the Freo X Ultra with robots that empty into their station, describing a built-in system that compresses dust into the robot's own disposable bag instead

Narwal rates the robot at as low as 58 dB while cleaning

The Narwal Freo app follows the robot on the live map and reports the cleaning progress

Cleaning schedules and per-mode parameters are set in the Narwal Freo app

Child Lock is switched on and off from the base station touch panel, which carries its own indicator, per the Narwal user manual

Dual Reuleaux triangular mop pads press down with up to 12 N and spin at 180 RPM, with EdgeSwing swinging them out to reach the walls

A bottle of Narwal dedicated detergent ships in the box and slots into the base station

The station meters detergent from its own reservoir into the mop water, and the app decides whether to add it

The station washes and rinses the mop pads, and cleans its own tray at the same time

Warm air drying at 40 C (104 F) after the last mopping run

Lifts the mop pads 12 mm when it detects carpet

IEEE 802.11b/g/n on 2412-2472 MHz, per the Narwal user manual

The manual's radio table lists only the 2.4 GHz band

BLE 5.0 on 2402-2480 MHz, per the Narwal user manual

Narwal lists Google voice control for this model

Narwal lists Amazon Alexa voice control for this model

Narwal names only Alexa, Google and Siri for this model, Siri running through the Narwal app rather than the Home app, and the robot carries no Matter certification that would open an Apple Home path

The model is not Matter certified, so it gets no automatic Works with SmartThings path, and Narwal documents no SmartThings account linking

The community Narwal integration, the only one that exists, lists the Freo X Ultra as not compatible: this model talks ZeroMQ on port 6789 plus the Tuya cloud instead of the WebSocket protocol the integration drives

A search of the CSA certified product database returns only the Narwal Flow and Flow 2, not this model

Narwal's own comparison table rates the Freo X Ultra at 210 minutes per charge

The robot navigates itself back to the base station when the task ends and charges there, per the Narwal user manual

An ultrasonic carpet sensor detects pile and lifts the mop pads 12 mm so the robot switches to suction only

Two side brushes alongside the certified zero-tangling floating roller brush
