Overview

The Freo S is Narwal's entry-level robot, a lidar vacuum with a self-emptying base and a simple drag mop pad. It has none of the mop-washing docks Narwal is known for, so the pad must be cleaned by hand. Vacuum Wars recommends it for simpler, uncluttered floor plans since obstacle avoidance is basic. It is sold on Amazon for about $150, far below Narwal's own store price. For mop washing, the step up is the Freo X10 Pro.
