Summary
A new robot vacuum cleaner is in town.
Would the follow-up fix these issues?
On the face of it, I can’t see any obvious differences.

However, it’s under the hood where the Narwal Freo X Ultra comes into its own.
Below is a table highlighting only the differences between the two models.
But what I was excited about was the zero-tangling brush.
With 12N mopping pressure, 8200Pa suction power, a zero-tangling brush, 1L disposable bag, and dust compression, the Narwal Freo X Ultra is the latest and greatest robot vacuum and mop to hit the market.
With two cats in the household, finding clumps of fur around the place is fairly common.
And, as a long-haired person, my house is no stranger to stray hairs.
There isn’t a single build-up of hair, fur, or dirt.
With 12N mopping pressure, 8200Pa suction power, a zero-tangling brush, 1L disposable bag, and dust compression, the Narwal Freo X Ultra is the latest and greatest robot vacuum and mop to hit the market.
The zero-tangle brush actually does what it says!
I’ve included the same image above, this time with the Freo that I tested previously.
The difference in dirt, hair, and general maintenance is astounding.

Stools would have to be lifted up, cat food bowls removed, and wires firmly out of sight.
That silicone mat would cause no end of issues when the Narwal Freo was on the loose.
Narwal claims that the new model features LiDAR SLAM 4.0 technology which enables a 360-degree scan of the surroundings.

The side and front sensors avoid obstacles and neatly clean against edges.
The map, which is visible on the app, even updates to show the different floor textures.
Its Still Incredibly Quick
The base station hasn’t had much of an upgrade.

In fact, if anything, there are fewer options on the touchscreen panel now.
And, like the Freo, first-time mapping took seconds to discover the downstairs of my home.
The dust bags come with a filter attached to them to ensure the same level of cleaning and filtration.

Personally, I’m not fussed about the disposable bags.
It’s easy to press the clip on the side of the dust bin to release the waste.
As you might see, the vacuum has efficiently collected plenty of dust, dirt, and hair.
The compression process neatly packs debris into a dust ball form.
This takes up less room and also picks up anything left over from the base station and rollers.
Removing the robot from the base station for emptying is easy thanks to the built-in handle.
Simplified Cleaning at a Cost
I’ve been really impressed with the Narwal Freo X Ultra.
It’s a hard pill to swallow because it costs a small fortune.
Should You Buy the Narwal Freo X Ultra?
