Key Features of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra
Dual RGB Cameras and AI-Powered Navigation
One of the main highlights of the Freo Z Ultra is its dual 1600×1200 HD cameras that provide a wide-angle view of its surroundings. Paired with dual AI chips, the Narwal states that the system can detect over 120 different objects in real time, allowing it to make precise navigation and cleaning decisions. The AI-driven obstacle avoidance system is designed to recognize hazards, including pet waste and delicate objects, and adjust the cleaning path accordingly.
Real-Time Cleaning Adjustments
The Freo Z Ultra can adjust its cleaning strategy based on the type of mess it encounters. Its AI system can differentiate between dry and wet spills, using suction for dust and dirt while switching to mopping mode for liquid messes. For tougher areas, it applies a matrix cleaning pattern to ensure thoroughness.
Self-Maintaining Base Station
The base station of the Freo Z automates much of the maintenance required for a robot vacuum. It handles tasks like self-emptying the dustbin, cleaning the mops with hot water (up to 167°F), and drying them to prevent odors. The 2.5L dustbag in the base station can hold up to 120 days’ worth of dirt, reducing the need for frequent manual intervention.
Performance and Usability
Powerful Suction and Quiet Operation
With a suction power of 12,000 Pa, the Freo Z Ultra is capable of lifting dirt and pet hair from carpets and hard floors. Despite its high suction, the vacuum operates at relatively low noise levels, with the base station reaching a maximum of 71 dB during dust collection. This makes it suitable for households looking for a quieter cleaning experience.
Specialized Mopping System
The dual mop heads apply 1.2 kg of pressure and rotate at 180 RPM to remove stains from floors. These mops are designed to clean right up to edges and baseboards without leaving streaks. The AI system also analyzes wastewater to ensure that floors are spotless before the robot finishes its cleaning cycle.
Pet-Friendly Features
The Freo Z Ultra includes a Pet-Friendly Cleaning Mode, which allows the robot to avoid areas where pets are resting or playing. It will prioritize other areas and return to pet zones when they are unoccupied.
