NARWAL Freo 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

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.

The media could not be loaded. I have waited several months to post this so I had ample time to judge the Narwal Freo X Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop properly. I am extremely impressed with this machine. The mapping feature is accurate and precise. I love that after it maps your entire home, you can set up cleaning shortcuts for specific areas. Note, if you rearrange your furniture or get something new, it is simple to re-map your home.I have 3 cats and 1 dog so the daily hair and litter scatter creates a daily chore of vacuuming. With this Narwal, I can send it daily to areas of higher traffic and debris. It is just such a time saver and it scoops up all of the litter scatter and hair along the floor. That alone makes this machine worth every single cent I paid for it. The mopping feature is more like a dust mopping which is fine with me. Like a robot swiffer.In the video I posted, I selected the master bedroom and bath for cleaning. I do this daily. It is just such a time-saver for this pet lover. It vacuums every inch of the "mapped" area you select for cleaning. It cleans the edges then it cleans it like rows back and forth, kind of like you mowing your grass. Just in love with that. I had a different brand of robot vacuum years before and it just randomly vacuumed wherever it wanted to and never completely vacuumed each area.Another feature I love is that it never gets stuck. When it encounters a rug, it literally raises up and "walks" over the edge of the rug. I mean, wow! If it encounters something out of place from its usual mapping route, it avoids it. It goes around it.Nothing will take the place of a full size powerful vacuum and on your knees scrub mopping. I mean, come on. Don't buy this if you think this machine will take their place and you can be lazy and never have to vacuum or mop again. Don't be delusional. However, if you are like me and have pets, this machine is amazing. I love it, love it, love it.Great product. Highly recommend. A+++ Technology!
