Narwal, known for shaking up the home cleaning game, has brought its latest gadget to the spotlight at IFA 2024 in Berlin. The Freo Z Ultra robot vacuum and mop is here to handle the messes that life throws your way, without asking for much in return—except for maybe a corner to charge in.
Packed with AI-driven features, the Freo Z Ultra ($1,499) knows how to navigate your home better than a cat avoiding bath time. Equipped with dual AI chips and 1200p RGB cameras, it effortlessly dodges everything from wayward toys to that ever-elusive sock hiding under the couch. With the precision to clean within a centimeter of objects, you can officially stop rearranging your furniture for this little helper. Privacy-conscious users will be happy to hear that all video data stays stored on the device, making it smart and secure.
But this robot isn’t just about avoiding obstacles—it’s got brains too. Its Proactive AI DirtSense 2.0 detects whether a spill needs vacuuming or mopping and adjusts accordingly. DirtSense 2.0 even focuses more on dirtier spots, so that suspicious ketchup splatter in the kitchen won’t be just a distant memory.
For pet owners, the Freo Z Ultra has you covered. With its Pet-Friendly Mode, it works around your pets’ naps, cleaning other areas first before returning to tackle the fur-filled zones. All this while keeping the noise down to 55-58dB—so no angry pets or roommates to deal with. The self-emptying dustbin only needs attention every 120 days, making it just about as low-maintenance as it gets.

Key Features of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra:
- TwinAI Dodge Obstacle Avoidance: Dual AI chips and cameras that navigate your home with the grace of a cat slipping past an open door.
- Proactive AI DirtSense
2.0: Knows when to vacuum and when to mop, targeting dirt like it’s got a personal vendetta against it.
- AI-Adaptive Hot Water Mop: Adjusts temperature to deal with everything from everyday dirt to the kind of grime that has no business being there in the first place.
- Pet-Friendly Mode: Works around your pets like a considerate roommate—no need to disturb Fido’s afternoon nap.
- Ultra-Quiet Operation: At 55-58dB, it hums along quietly, giving your home a clean without the vacuum cleaner symphony.
- Self-Emptying Station: Forget about emptying the dustbin for almost four months, giving you time to focus on more pressing matters—like finding that missing sock.
For those eager to get their hands on one, the Freo Z Ultra is available for presale in North America through Narwal’s website. The wait for smart, hassle-free cleaning just got a little shorter.
