NARWALFreo X Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop, 7-Week Dust Storage, 7800Pa Suction, Zero Tangles, Tri-Laser Obstacle Avoidance, LiDAR Navigation, Self Vacuum Cleaner for Pet Hair, Hard Floor, Carpet

I have three cats and a busy schedule, and knew I’d eventually need a robot vacuum to help automate my cleaning. This Narwal vacuum has been a life saver for me, and technology is genuinely impressive.The Freo X Plus stood out for its hardware specs and price point. The suction power of this vacuum seems to be stronger than the competition, which results in near spotless floors. I’m very impressed with its ability to vacuum corners.The mop is budget level, but sufficient enough to mop light stains and remove dirt.After cleaning, the vacuum returns to its charging base where it conducts self cleaning. After it’s done, I’m informed to change the mop pad (Washable and reusable). I also refill the water when low and check to ensure the brushes are clean. The dust bin container is decent, Narwal claims 7 weeks before emptying, but if you have lots of pets, you will need to change it much sooner.A huge plus for pet owners is the never tangle brush, which actually works to prevent hair from tangling on the brush. This makes the Narwal much lower maintenance than other vacuums.Narwal made swapping parts user friendly which I really appreciate. The app gives tells the user the amount of uses left for the brushes, which are easily swappable.The main downside is the software, there is sometimes issues with mapping that take the Freo time to adjust properly (which means running more cleaning cycles and adjusting areas in mapping.) It is also not great at object avoidance, so be sure to clear your floors of objects before cleaning. Hopefully software updates can improve all this.Overall the app is well developed and includes lots of information about your robot and its cleaning tasks. There is a good amount of customization, such as adjusting the suction power and mop wetness, as well as a scheduler for daily automatic cleaning.I am concerned with the longevity of this vacuum since it is a lot of technology crammed together, but at the moment I am very satisfied with this robot. It cleans my house multiple times a day and it feels very fresh. I give the Freo X Plus a solid 4.5/5.0

We have been using this NARWAL Freo X Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop for a month now. We use it to vacuum nearly every morning over the main living area of the house. It runs about an hour 45 minutes to clean about 1,600 square feet of tile. We have not used it in the main or guest bedrooms or office area, so far, as these are less frequently visited by our pets. We bought this unit for use as a vacuum and have not tried the mop, no plans to do so.Set up was fairly easy. Download the app on your phone. No problems with Narwal or app connecting to wi-fi. The app is not the most intuitive interface I've seen, but not too bad. Did not take Narwal very long to create a map of the area we use it to clean. One thing I learned was make sure you prepare the area to be mapped BEFORE you start the mapping or cleaning. Narwal cannot handle small throw rugs, or puppy pads, that do not have stiff backing. It does fine with larger floor mats that have enough backing to stay flat on the floor when Narwal goes over it. Position power cords next to baseboards or up out of the way so they are not pulled into Narwal. No string or thin cords. It does identify larger objects and navigate around but best to pickup any smaller objects. Position chairs and furniture so Narwal can access the desired area.We have 2 dogs, one a long hair fur factory, and a long hair cat. It is amazing how much hair Narwal picks up daily. Does a nice job with sand or dirt tracked in too. No problems with hair tangling or jamming brush. Vacuum power will adjust up or down automatically as needed, higher on carpet, lower on tile. It is not too noisy when operating on the lower power setting which is sufficient on hard surfaces.Battery life seems a plus, Narwal still has over 70% charge after vacuuming 1 3/4 hours. I would imagine that the charge would be used faster if you are cleaning a lot of carpet as Narwal will adjust to higher power vacuum on carpet.This model does not have the base station that empties dirt from the robot into a receptacle or bag. We did not want a model that required regular replacement of a bag. This model collects the dirt and hair in a container inside the vacuum. Narwal advertises that this bin will store up to 7 weeks of hair/dirt through use of compression. While the unit does automatically go through a compression cycle after each cleaning, we simply take the bin out of the unit, dump it and clean the filter after every use, very easy.There are more sophisticated models available, but for our needs and intended use this model works very well.
