THE NARWAL FREO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Narwal Freo is available in white color and the robot measures 350mm in width, 351,5mm in length and 106mm in height (although just a tad taller it's actually slightly smaller in diameter compared to the X1 OMNI by ECOVACS).

 

 

As with most robot vacuum models in the market at the top, we find the LiDAR sensor and the on/off/clean button.

 

 

As expected at the front of the robot we find the object avoidance sensor.

 

 

Once you open the top, you'll see the 480ml dustbin surrounded by the water tank, a cut and clean tool and the reset button.

 

 

The 480ml dustbin is not very large but it's not small either so it should easily last for a couple of uses.

 

 

Turning the robot over we find two large rubberized side wheels, two mopping pads, main round wheel, main roller brush, two ports for the side brushes, 4 infra-red laser sensors, TOF sensor and an ultrasonic sensor.

 

 

The roller brush is of very good quality but if you happen to have pets (like myself) Freo has an anti-tangle roller brush available for purchase online.

 

 

Instead of using 3-way side brushes Narwal has opted for 2-way ones.

 

 

The base station is made out of glossy plastic and measures 435mm in height, 415mm in length and 370mm in width (again, smaller compared to that of the X1 OMNI).

 

 

At the top of the base station, we find the dual-tank cover and the LCD display.

 

 

Narwal has placed handles on the sides of the base station making it very easy to move around if needed.

 

 

As expected inside the station we find two water tanks, one for clean water and one for dirty water.

 

 

Each tank is around 4 litres in capacity so they should last for quite a while before you need to empty/fill them up again.

 

 

The lemon & basil cleaning solution needs to be installed inside the base station as seen above and again should last quite a bit (not much is used each time the robot is filled).

 

 

The base station is easy to disassemble and clean, you just need to pull the clear plastic section seen above out.

 

 

Even though in the above picture the robot didn't stay inside it actually goes all the way in the base station thus getting protection for its entire body (unlike the X1 OMNI).
