The Narwal Freo Z10 is the camera-less sibling of the Freo Z10 Ultra: 15,000 Pa of suction, DualFlow brushes against hair wrap, and two triangular mop pads that press down with 8 newtons, swing out along edges and lift 12 millimetres on carpet. The robot carries no water tank, so it returns to the station to wet its pads. The station empties the bin for up to 120 days, washes the pads in water of up to 75 degrees, dries them with 40-degree air and doses detergent.
TechRadar found it a fantastic mop: dusty dried stains came off in a single run and wet sauce in one or two, and after six weeks the pads still looked pristine, the best mop washing the reviewer had seen. It was the first robot the reviewer had tested that steered around cables, and it left shoes, slim furniture legs and tea-light holders alone. It stays quiet on every setting below the most powerful, and the 5,200 mAh battery, good for 210 minutes according to Narwal, managed a full vacuum-then-mop run of the home at maximum settings.
Vacuuming is its weak spot: it needed two runs at the highest setting to clear oats from tiles, left fine particles such as tea and talc behind and took about 80 percent of the hair out of carpet. In TechRadar's test the bin did not empty itself, because its Smart Dust Collection setting waits until 200 square metres have been cleaned. It also washes and dries its pads after a vacuum-only run, uses a lot of water, gets confused when furniture is moved and still tries to swallow small socks. TechRadar found it hard to recommend overall. For a home that mainly needs mopping it does that job well, and anyone who also needs strong vacuuming should look elsewhere.

Narwal Freo Z10 specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
The side brush swings out in a corner or along a kickboard, so the dust there is swept in too. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.
no (assumed)
Carpet detection
When it matters
Rugs and carpets, where the robot should raise its suction.
Mopping in a home with rugs, which have to stay dry.
The robot notices when it drives onto a carpet. Most then raise their suction, and a mopping robot lifts its mop or leaves it at the dock.

Suitable for pet hair
When it matters
Dogs and cats that shed.
Long-haired pets, whose hair wraps around a brush.
Without pets, ordinary hair and dust need nothing special.
Source: derived, no source of its own · checked on 2 Oct
Whether the robot copes with pet hair: a brush that hair does not wind around and a dock that empties the bin for you. Where the maker does not say so itself, we read it from those two.
yes
Filter type
When it matters
Dust allergy or asthma, where the exhaust should not blow fine dust back into the room.
Pets, whose dander floats in the air.
Without allergies a simple filter catches what you can see.
The robot leaves the mop at the dock before it vacuums a carpet, so the carpet never gets wet. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.

Dock11 facts
Empties the dust bin
When it matters
Pets, sand or a large home, which fill the bin every run.
Dust allergy, since you rarely touch the dust yourself.
In a small home with little dust, emptying the bin by hand takes a moment.
The dock can be connected to the tap and the drain, so you never fill or empty a tank. It does need a connection nearby. On this model: Assumed, not a stated fact: the maker's full specification does not name it, so we take it as no.

Frequently asked questions about the Narwal Freo Z10
1
Does the Narwal Freo Z10 empty its own dust bin?
Yes. The station empties the robot’s dust bin after every run. The 2.5 l dust bag in the station lasts up to 120 days, the maker says.
2
Does the Narwal Freo Z10 wash and dry its own mop?
Yes. The station washes the mop itself, with water at 75 °C. It then dries the mop with warm air.
3
Does the Narwal Freo Z10 work with Alexa, Google Home or Siri?
It works with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri.
4
How high a threshold can the Narwal Freo Z10 climb?
Thresholds up to 20 mm, the maker says. It has no climbing system for higher thresholds. Measure your own thresholds: the ones to a bathroom or balcony are often higher.
5
Does the Narwal Freo Z10 fit under low furniture?
The robot is 10.7 cm tall, so it fits under furniture with at least 11 cm of clearance.
6
Is the Narwal Freo Z10 suitable for pet hair?
Yes, the maker says. The brush guides hair to the side instead of winding it round the roller.
Narwal makes robot vacuums and wet and dry vacuums. It was founded between 2016 and 2018 by Junbin Zhang and brought out its first robot vacuum, which washes its own mop, in 2019. Its privacy policy gives a postal address for the company in Shenzhen, China.
