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.
