Overview

The Freo Z family is Narwal's spinning-pad range below the Flow, all with self-emptying, hot-water mop-washing docks. The Freo Z Ultra (2024) introduced dual-camera AI avoidance, the Z10 Ultra (2025) added stronger suction and an extending mop, and the Z10 Turbo (2026) pushes suction to 25,000 Pa at a lower price. Narwal's DirtSense checks the dirty water and re-mops areas that are still dirty. Most models work with the community local Home Assistant integration, though the plain Z10 does not yet. The Z10 Turbo, Z10, Z Ultra and Z10 Ultra are all still sold by Narwal, while some Amazon listings are low on stock.
