Overview

The Freo 20 brings the track mop and 31,000 Pa suction of the Flow 2 to a lower price. To keep the robot 95 mm tall, the Freo 20 drops lidar entirely and maps with two cameras, while the cheaper Freo 20 Edge (September 2026) uses a rear-mounted lidar with structured-light avoidance and skips hot-water mopping. Early reviews praise the hands-off mopping on hard floors. Both launched in late 2026, are sold by Narwal, and already work with the community local Home Assistant integration.

CleaningVacuum with a tangle-free roller brush and reversing side brush, plus the FlowWash track mop from the Flow, rinsed by 16 nozzles and scraped while it mops at 12 N, with an extending mop for edges. The Freo 20 heats mop water to 140 °F, the Edge mops with room-temperature water
DockEmpties the bin into a 2.4 L bag (about 120 days), washes the mop (212 °F on the Freo 20), dries it with hot air (140 °F on the Freo 20, 113 °F on the Edge) and self-cleans its tanks
NavigationFreo 20 navigates with dual 1080p cameras (no lidar), the Edge uses a rear-mounted dToF lidar, so neither has a turret
Obstacle avoidanceFreo 20 uses dual cameras with AI recognition of 300+ object types, the Edge uses 3D structured light
RuntimeNot published
