Verdict

The Narwal Freo X Ultra is an excellent hard-floor and mopping specialist with long battery life and strong suction, but its poor obstacle avoidance, lack of auto-empty, and weak carpet deep cleaning mean it is best for homes with mostly hard floors and owners who can tolerate occasional babysitting.

Pros

Self-cleaning cycle ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 5.0

The Freo X Ultra’s dock automatically washes and dries the mop pads, refills the clean-water tank with detergent, and uses a dirt sensor to trigger extra wash cycles, providing a largely hands-off self-cleaning system with a removable tray for deeper maintenance.

Hard Floor — Fine Dust Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0

On hard floors, reviewers report that the Freo X Ultra picks up fine debris very effectively and leaves bare surfaces looking clean across different test materials.
Hard Floor — Large Debris Intake ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 5.0

Large crumbs and other big debris on hard floors are swept up reliably, with testing describing overall pickup of different debris sizes as very good.
Mop lifting system ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8

Owners highlight that the Freo X Ultra’s mop pads lift around 12 millimeters, higher than average, so it can cross from hard floors onto carpets without soaking them while vacuuming and mopping both surfaces in a single combined run.
Mopping performance ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.8

Reviews describe the Freo X Ultra as a standout for mopping, with unusually high pad pressure, top-tier stain test results, and a podium finish on dedicated robot mop rankings that look only at wet-cleaning performance.
Dried-On Stain Removal ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2 reviews 4.6

In the new stain tests the Freo X Ultra finishes fifth among the top performers, reliably erasing most dried coffee and grape stains even if it trails the very best robots slightly.
Price & Value ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 4.5
Overall opinion ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 4.1

Overall, the Freo X Ultra is presented as a high-quality robot that excels at hands-off mopping and strong suction, and while it appears in the top five robot mop combos, its poor obstacle avoidance, weaker carpet deep cleaning, and lack of auto-empty still make it better suited to mostly hard-floor homes than to carpet-heavy spaces.

Cons

Emptying & Mess Control ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 3.2
Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 3 reviews 2.5

In practice, the Freo X Ultra’s trilaser obstacle system struggles, scoring among the worst in avoidance tests and often getting stuck on common obstacles like table bases instead of smoothly steering around them.
Carpet — Medium-Pile Pickup ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 1 review 2.0

Reviews indicate that while surface-level debris pickup on carpets looks good, the Freo X Ultra struggles with deeply embedded material like sand and earns a below-average deep clean score, making it less ideal for carpet-heavy homes.
