Narwal Freo X Ultra
An older but still useful hard-floor-focused Narwal at a lower current price than the Z models. Independent testing found strong mopping, surface pickup and battery life, but obstacle avoidance and carpet deep cleaning were weak, and the dock does not empty dust from the robot.
The main things to know before buying are independent obstacle-avoidance results were poor and carpet deep cleaning was below the reviewer's average.
