NARWAL Freo X Plus Robot Vacuum & Mop Detailed REVIEW
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hello everyone this just a dad today I'm
going to do a detailed review on this
narwhal Frio X+ Robot vacuum and mop I'm
going to talk about some of the things I
like some of the things I've got
concerns about it we're going to see how
it cleans this room I got some muddy paw
prints and things now I did buy this
with my own money it does cost $400 it's
on sale for 340 right now I will put a
link to it underneath the show
description notes if you use the link
the product won't cost you anymore but I
will get a small commission from the
sale okay so let's get started
okay I really love liar navigation when
it's got this lar navigation it can
really map your house give you an
accurate representation and you can put
no go zones and it does a good job of
avoiding things it also has a sensor on
the front that can help avoid obstacles
that are low to the
ground so this is a mopping robot we've
got a dust bin all of the dust and dirt
and debris are going to go into the dust
bin now this is the reusable one you can
just simply press that button everything
will come out
this is the water tank you're going to
put your water right here for the
mopping very simple to
use now on the bottom here's the mopping
pad it can raise and lower that mopping
pad it does have a sensor here that it
can sense carpet two side brushes
there's the brush roller Drive Wheels
also has Edge sensors for so it won't
fall down any stairs now the mop pad's
really easy to take on and off just lift
this up and then this is held on with
this part the mop pad held on with
velcro so you will have to clean that
mop pad once in a while yourself but
taking it on and off is very simple it
does have a water pump and it will pump
water out of these four holes right here
to help saturate the pad now the pad
doesn't move back and forth but it can
move up and down depending on carpet and
it could it can put a certain amount of
pressure so in the app you can tell if
you have hardwood floors or lolium or
tile and it will adjust the pressure how
much it puts down and how much water it
puts down on the different types of
flooor material now this is the docking
station where it's going to Dock and
charge it up right here and there's what
the mop pads raised so when it wants the
mop it'll lower it so in the Narwhal app
it is it is able to make a very accurate
map of your house and you can put no go
zones you can tell to vacuum and mop
vacuum then mop or vacuum or mop only
Brio smart vacuum and mop started pair
compression
started first thing it's going to do is
compress everything in the dust bin over
to one side so it frees up some room on
the
filter there's a water pump and it's
going to start mopping this Rim I've got
some muddy paw prints we've got some
dirt and
debris let's see how it
does now the first thing it's going to
do is going to go around the edges of
your room and then it will go back and
forth and make the straight lines and
get the center of the room
it's got the mop pad lowered and it's
mopping now it does a good job of
obstacle avoidance with that
sensor and now it's going to raise the
mop pads when it senses that carpet
[Music]
he doing a good job
[Music]
[Music]
vacuuming now it is able to detect a
heavily soiled area and that's what it's
doing right now it's going to go over it
[Music]
[Music]
again okay so now it's doing its second
pass and it's going to go the opposite
direction or I mean parallel to
perpendicular to it
so it did a good job vacuuming the muddy
paw prints yeah it's struggling a little
bit with it probably needs another
[Music]
pass okay when it's all done it's going
to come back to the dock stationing
started task completed charging started
please please clean
the okay so the liar has stopped moving
I know in the previous unboxing it was
it was running for quite a while um
after a couple cleanings it it's not
running anymore when it comes back in
docks now again I did buy this with my
own money right now retailing for 400 on
sale for
340 it does have some really smart
Advanced
features okay we got a big mess here on
carpet we're going to see how it does
I've got it on maximum suction
possible and again I've not taken the
mop pad off it will raise that mop
pad when it senses that it's on carpet
and after it's cleaned your house three
or four times in the the map will change
and it will show you where all the
carpet's at
it changes how the map looks oh look who
showed up don't have a treat right
now so it looks like it's doing a pretty
good job
yeah I'd say it's doing a pretty good
job
this was a pretty big mess it's leaving
a little bit of stuff if I had it do a
second pass it's only going to do one
pass now earlier it was able to get this
carpet pretty clean I wasn't able to
show you that but it does raise the mop
pad and clean that carpet now sometimes
it will clean around that carpet first
and then go back and vacuum that and
sometimes it will just raise the mop pad
and vacuum it so it gets to be a little
tricky I think it kind of figures out
how to do it and then it has a kind of
has a mind of its own how it's going to
do it so here it is coming back to the
dock
now sometimes it'll blow all of that s
cleaning started I see they call that a
selfcleaning I think that might be
blowing the dirt off to one
side but then I've also heard to prevent
bacteria growth I've also heard it say
that it's blowing the dirt and debris
off to one side and it sounds a little
bit louder sometimes it does it at the
beginning of of the of the job and
sometimes it does it at the
end now here's the map of my house after
it's been cleaning a while you can sort
of see where the couch is but it those
checkered lines is where all of the
carpet is and that's pretty accurate
that's that rug we were talking about
earlier you know I wish it showed the
obstacles a little bit better but you
can go in and add like a couch and
things okay let's take a closer look
again I'm not sure why in the unboxing
that liar stayed turning for a while and
I still don't understand the
selfcleaning and I still don't
understand blowing air into
here but you can see let's see we've
used we oh wow we've used quite a bit of
water and it did not tell me the tank
was empty I was hoping it would we've
done quite a bit of mopping I'm going to
show you the mop let's take a look at
this wow it has picked up a lot of stuff
I would have liked to have seen it blow
that stuff more to the side that's the
whole theory behind this is that filter
will get CLA fed like all that dirt and
debris and then it's supposed to blow it
and it's supposed to compact it to the
side so that you still have some filter
area available because that's where your
suction is if it's if this is clogged on
the inside it's not going to be able to
suck and you won't have air flow I would
have liked to see it do that some you
know again it it seems like narwhal
doesn't give you a lot of control over
stuff it's like they have a lot of
builtin techn techology that just works
I
guess all right let's turn it
over now here is the mop
pad and again you will have to take this
off nothing dries it so after mopping
you know I'm I cleaned with this
yesterday and that's pretty wet so it's
got a big warning on there to take this
off and to make sure you dry it or it's
definitely going to
mold the brush roller I see I don't see
any hair
Tangles that is a pretty nice hair brush
roller okay so we're going to do the
obstacle avoidance but
first I guess if you it I I thought I
could take this off it's it's got an
eror so let's close and I was just
trying to vacuum I guess I got to go in
and select so I thought I could just hit
whatever I had before which was vacuum
and mop and it would realize that it was
only trying to do carpet but let's I
guess I got to do just vacuuming
only no let's
do super powerful I no let's just do
Freo
advice all right now let's see if it'll
do it Fone cleaning
started so if you want to take this off
you've got to do vacuuming only I
thought it would realize it was only
carpet
but okay so we're doing our
test you can see that obstacle avoidance
was pretty good that sign would fall
over if it hit it pretty hard but we're
going to got some fake dog poop we got a
iPhone cable
all right so it missed it now let's see
all right here we go that's going to be
a pretty hard oh it tried
to that one's pretty hard just because
it's so low to the
ground but it it it destroyed
it and that's what's going to do if it
ever runs over it it makes a big mess
now again we don't get
any obstacle there's
nothing nothing the app tells us there
was something
there so it looks like it's trying to
avoid it now
but now that one it looks like it is
seeing
it I would expect it to see that one
that one's kind of taller very defined
[Music]
and this is pretty typical of narwhal
they
just to me narwhal's in a in a class of
their own as far as what they expect
yeah it ran it
over
they they don't do what everybody else
does let me just say that whether good
or bad they don't follow everybody
else's
lead they
typically in my opinion think for
themselves and their stuff is operates a
little bit different and the the
impression I get with narwhal is just
set it down press the clean button and
forget it they don't want you to control
a whole bunch of stuff and you they
don't want you to have the robot control
a bunch of stuff they just want you to
kind of set it and forget it it's not
going to see a cable
either and this is the Narwhal fro X is
what I rated it it got the same score as
far as obstacle avoids it's just it's
just okay it's
not I mean it does good around walls and
things the light R can hit but no other
stuff
no and it chewed up that
cable it's task paused
yeah task resumed they also have an odd
way of stopping you got to press and
hold that
button and then it just it just stops it
then you've got to like hit the check
mark and then you got to tell it to
recall so it's kind of three or four
steps
to that may not be apparent when you
want to pause it or stop it or something
is holding that play
button and it's about
60 66 okay I've started something new
I'm I'm going to try that that doesn't
seem right to me intense mopping and
they show a picture of a liquid spill
and this thing I've seen it in the
manual you let let's try it I can't find
it right now but I know I've seen where
it says don't go through
water they call this it does a self
test I can hear the pump
going the uh mops not lowered
yet okay now the mop is
lowered okay we're going to keep an eye
on it and see how it does here so here
I'm on the official narwhal site and it
shows it going through
liquid that's coca colola on the
floor I've been I've been making some
slushies in the brand new ninja slushy
maker that's a pretty cool
product they show it having really good
obstacle voidance if you look I think
all those toys are really
tall you know I'm not so sure that the
sensor in the front does them that good
a job and here they're saying that it
doesn't have dirt Sense Technology but
in the app it kind of showed told me
that it
did yeah I've reviewed the foo X
yeah I don't I don't see that as
being a good
thing I'm sacrificing my
robot but they can't show that
picture I don't I don't think that's
good I think
it I think it's sucked up liquid
you know if it ruins the machine I'm
going to send it back cuz that in my
opinion you can't show a picture like
that we'll be taking it all apart but I
want it to
finish yeah it shows a picture that is
clearly
liquid but it talks about stubborn
stains it it it did not do stubborn
stains I had some I mean maybe I should
try dried coffee but I had some mud that
was dried and it ever really got it off
that
good I feel like that's just Coca-Cola
now on the
[Music]
floor and see it says it detected a
heavily soiled
area but it says in the thing it doesn't
have dirt
detection I think I just made a big mess
and it's avoiding that carpet but it
will go back and clean it eventually but
sometimes it doesn't do
that like on other jobs it'll just raise
the mop pad and actually vacuum and then
lower the mop Pad
but well I think I've had about enough
of
this T and
recall all right here it comes
[Music]
back is it going to do the compression
recall
completed
no and I've got this Auto bin
[Music]
control when turned on the B bin bag
will automatically air dry well it's not
okay let's take a look at this I don't
know what to
expect okay we clearly have Coca-Cola in
there that's going to definitely need a
lot
of
[Music]
attention yeah I guess it didn't get to
the filter but that might be just
because there's so much dirt and debris
in there and it didn't compact
everything again it has a mind of its
own I think I think it just compacts it
whenever it thinks it needs to probably
not after
every all right there's the mop pad it's
definitely
saturated me we got Coca-Cola
I mean maybe it's okay I mean it's it's
got quite a
mess the drive Wheels seem the drive
Wheels would have went through it the
side brushes went through
it you know they don't seem like
they I don't know so can you run through
water I guess it's going to be a lot of
and here they show it again
that's clearly
liquid and I feel it just smeared it all
over I mean I guess it sucks it up I did
hear it suck it
up I just don't know if that's a good
idea to suck up water is it I mean maybe
the filter is going to prevent all the
water from going into the machine
now my floor is clearly sticky now with
cocacola yeah it's got the it's
sticky okay out of my scoring it got a
80 which is a c
so that my scoring I might have to
modify for these ones I did give them
fives where it doesn't say that it does
certain things but
uh mopping it's just not that accurate I
mean it does an okay job for everyday
mopping
so converting it you know you got to
lift them up so I could probably give it
a few more points because you got to
lift it up and convert it but even if I
did it would still be a
c no I'm sorry it's a
b sorry about
that uh it's a b so it might be a little
bit higher of a b if I gave it a little
bit more no avoidance I mean there is
some there is some avoidance you can see
but it's very very minor the cost is
actually pretty good 340 you know that's
not bad for what you're
getting the maintenance on it is super
easy they do pro I say it's easy but did
I deduct the point no I didn't I should
have their their parts are some of the
most expensive of all the robots their
brush roller like this brush roller is
but I get it it's kind of unique but
their parts are generally more expensive
they're available which I like
um yeah basically mopping dinged it
obstacle avoidance that can really lower
a score really really quick and
everything else was just kind of
mediocre mopping it does lift the mop
pads 8 millimet I mean I probably could
get another point that is actually
pretty good for for what you're getting
so I might be able to get this to a b an
85 based on this is for the more
expensive robots and so I need to come
up with a scoring sheet just for these
like mid-range ones so I've been kind of
negative I've been really down on this
so don't let that it is a good robot
it's not an a robot in my opinion but
that's with price so man this is just so
hard to give you know you don't want to
give you do want to give something
that's cheap a good score if it's doing
what it's telling you it's supposed to
do no I'm I'm good the B is the the B is
a good score I think I give the noral
Freo x a b also um and I'm I'm I'm happy
with that because showing it mopping up
you know you're I'm going have a lot of
work now I've got to clean this I
actually got to clean my floor you know
with an actual mop or maybe I should do
the
yui yes let's do it okay the yui is
going to clean this
room that's an ex that's that's an
awesome mopping robot
yeah everywhere I'm walking is
sticky it just spread the coke
everywhere in my opinion they should
they should Market this as easability
as it raises its M pad that was very
hidden you should definitely not show it
as this mops up coffee stains that are
days old it's not going to do that it's
everyday mopping now it is a good
mop to mop but you can't you can't use
any it's just water so for everyday
mopping you know dust getting the dust
off the floor once every two or three
days it's a great mop for that and
you've got different you've
got mapping
liar they really really need to Market
this and I I actually don't care for the
throwaway bags I think that's kind of
wasteful I'm glad they give you this bag
but you can you know this is called the
handsfree where you just lift this up
and throw this away but that's a lot of
lot of waste in my opinion
this is the moping
robot it's got a ful length brush
roller and it's
putting it's not just recirculating the
bad solution it's putting new solution
down and scraping off the old what's
picked up on the roller brush it has a
dirty water tank so but this thing is
like 1,500 bucks but it has a dirty
water tank so this is like a
tinaco tinacos have a roller brush and
they squirt water on the roller brush
before it hits your floor it wipes your
floor and then it gets scraped off on
the back side into a dirty water tank
and that's exactly what this
does and you have solution and
water but again the Narwhal and it it
auto lifts the mop
[Laughter]
[Music]
Pad but again
$1,500 compared to three
so I know I'm having fun
today they're not comparable but I want
to show you what you're what things are
capable of
doing and B basically just to show that
you can't show that
advertising yeah I wish I could tell you
how much Coca-Cola is on this
floor it is all just so sticky there's
the yui clean
amp so I do recommend it for it is has
limited
capabilities it actually does a pretty
good job of vacuuming I like that it has
this reusable one you know the water
tank it doesn't tell you when it's empty
but you got to keep an eye on it so
you're going to be kind of working on it
you're going to be undocking it taking
this lid off flipping it over putting
this on you're going to be doing a lot
more work taking that off so it doesn't
mold they do give you disposable ones
too um I like that they give you two of
these and these look pretty heavy duty
putting those in the wash but you're
going to be doing some work for that
price point again bought this with my
own money I can do whatever I want with
it running over liquid you know I'm not
sure I would have done that if they
would have given it to me for free but I
think I'm going to keep it it does have
a place I want to learn the system a
little bit more narwhal's just been the
hardest one to learn because they're so
different Robo rock
yui those guys they
typically their their software is not
the same but they're do they're trying
to accomplish the same things
even dream they've got some different
things but they're trying to accomplish
the same things and kind of the same
settings with all of them and the
Narwhal has just been so different again
in my opinion narwhal just wants you to
set it down map your house divide up the
rooms a little bit and just press Start
every time put it on a schedule let it
do its thing don't really get too in the
don't get too in the settings with
it and yeah that I don't see I don't
feel any Coca-Cola
this is too much fun today task
paused let's take a
look I mean I think this is what it's
all
about you got to press these buttons at
the same time there's the dirty there's
the
dirty there's the dirty water tank
wish I could pull this up a there's see
there's the dirty water that's the
Coca-Cola that's been scraped off the
roller and there's the roller
brush again it puts liquid down on the
front of it it scrapes your floor and
then it scrapes the dirty water off of
the roller continuously there it also
vacuums now some people say oh it's not
a really great vacuum n i don't agree
with that I think it does a great job
and I'm going to show I've been doing it
I'm going doing test it's been cleaning
this basement for a while and I'm going
to open up the the dust bin I mean we're
going to Simply we're going to open up
this this bag and just see what it's
picked up so to say it's not a great
vacuum I mean is it the best probably
not but it does vacuum so pretty excited
about this this is the first one I've
seen like and I think this is going to
be the
standard you we've got the robo
rocks you know they do just smear the
stuff the dirty water reservoir to
securely
install task position okay I'll put
links down below the description this
does have a place look for it to go on
sale even
more uh I did buy this off of Amazon
they do love to put this on sale I have
seen it on sale quite a few times it is
relatively new though so if you click on
the link the product won't cost you
anymore but I will get a small
commission from the sale that way I can
continue to do these reviews like this
just simply see where it goes I don't
have any Bolt points I've got to get
through if you show it running over
liquid I'm going to I'm going to run
over liquid so had fun thanks for
watching so again thanks everybody so
much I love what I do typically most of
the time I buy these products with my
own money once in a while I do get
something sent to me for free and I
disclose that but I want to give you the
most honest review that I can you know
recently ninja did send me the Ninja
slushie and I was able to actually give
an honest review because that thing's
absolutely amazing
so if it wasn't I might have been
hesitant on saying H you know is it this
good is it that good I typically want so
I want to buy the products with my own
money with that one I was able to make
an exception and and it it's just an
extremely good product it's the brand
new ninja
slushie again ninja did send it to me
for free but honestly I was able to give
it an outstanding review because it it's
a it's it's a product ninja makes
products that brings families together
ninja makes products
ninja makes products that create
memories so you're you can have so much
fun with friends and family with these
type of products outside we've got the
ninja that's the pizza oven everybody
can make their own
pizza so again I really do appreciate
everybody's support I'm on Facebook I'm
on two places in Facebook Facebook I
have a Facebook page and a Facebook
group page I do free giveaways there I'm
also on Instagram and on Tik Tok having
some fun over there so you can kind of
see behind the scenes if you we show
Miss Fiona and different things so just
having a lot of fun again if you click
on the links the product won't cost you
anymore but I will get a small
commission from the sale again it is a
way of supporting my channel I try to
buy I'm from here on I'm going to try to
buy 95 98% of the products um I'm still
working out a relationship possibly with
shark and ninja where they might be
sending me some stuff for free but I'm
kind of working that out I'm I'm still
going to give you my honest honest
opinion and and what has happened in the
past is sometimes I do get a product
sent to me for free but I'm like okay
that's going to be a free giveaway I'm
actually going to buy it again with my
own money and that way I can do the
review with my own money and but then I
can give the product away I can still
give my own opinion and so I just really
really do appreciate B support even uh
shark said they don't mind if I you know
if I give an honest review on their
product and maybe the things I'm saying
about it they might be able to fix in
the future or something so they do
appreciate my honest reviews
this is just super tricky and new for me
I I you know I've not done anything like
this so but I'm really really starting I
want to resonate with a brand of honest
reviews and that's way I can buy it with
my own money and I can tell you would I
spend this actual Mone of money on this
product and I can tell you that um and
I'm not beholding to anybody sending me
an email or any manufacturer now again I
am going to have some relationships I
think in the future with a couple
companies and I don't know how that's
going to work out yet and if I find it
being a problem I may not do it so but I
do have to figure that out and it's it's
just going to take some work I'm doing a
lot of research right now but again 95%
of these products are products I'm going
to buy and you be you'd be surprised
with the products I send back and I I'll
tell you that in the video I'll be like
nope this is going there's been I've
sent probably five or six really
expensive Robot vacuum cleaners back
because I'm like no that's my money and
I I want it back this robot is not
performing the way that they said it was
going to
perform so again I just really do
appreciate everybody support I have an
Amazon storefront underneath if you're
thinking of purchasing some of these
products and you even if it's something
like I do air fryers I do robots I do I
did a bunch of coffee makers I'm not
doing as many now but I'm doing the new
ones that come out but if you're
thinking of purchasing a product on
Amazon go to my storefront and you can
search so on my storefront there's a
little search tab you can search my
videos on Amazon and that way it'll
bring up I usually do on Amazon I'll do
a comparison with another top selling
product on Amazon and then I'll do like
a unboxing which shows you the
dimensions kind of just what you're
getting not much of a review then I'll
actually do a review I may do three
reasons to buy I may do a detailed
review sometimes those videos can get
pretty long so if you're thinking of
buying a different product there is a
search function on the Amazon storefront
and I have lots and lots of videos over
there so I really would now again if you
click on that video on Amazon and you
end up watching that video for 30
seconds I think I forget what it is but
if you end up watching that video for a
little bit and you end up purchasing the
product I will get a small Commission on
that also so that is a way of helping
support my channel either clicking on
the link below the YouTube channel in
the description or going to my Amazon
storefront and watching the videos that
is a way of supporting my channel again
I could not be doing this without that
support I really really do appreciate
everybody's support I love what I do I'm
going to continue doing it I'm working
at this I've got a lot of Manufacturers
contacting me wanting me wanting to send
free products I've said no to a lot of
them but I want to work I want to have
some relationships with some of the
really big ones and I'm trying to figure
that out I I just don't know what that's
going to look like right now again
there's been some bigger ones reached
out to me and that's exciting you know
that's that's kind of what I've dreamed
for you know I I I want to work with
these manufacturers you know and I but I
also want to be honest and that the main
thing is to be honest for you as the
viewer that's where I will always come
from as should you buy this and I half
my videos are like you've already bought
it here's how to use it so I got a ton
of videos just how to use it and then
I've got a bunch about 20% are like how
to fix it and then another 20% are like
how to clean it so lots and lots of
videos my my
opinion and I get this a lot also was my
opinion on videos that why don't you say
this is really really bad well I will if
it is but a lot of times they just work
differently than I want it to work and
so I don't necessarily say it's bad I'm
like this is how it works I prefer this
way but this because what I've run into
the past where I've I've called
something really bad I'll get a comment
somebody says that's the actual option I
need and I love it for that so then I'm
like oh yeah that's that's right that
this option that this coffee maker has
or the
uh robot has maybe the perfect option
that you need I don't need it and that
for that reason I'm not going to say
it's bad it never buy it a lot of times
you'll see me just saying these are how
they work now I hope that helps that's
what I'm I'm trying to help as much as I
can so again appreciate this this is
going to be my this is going to be the
commercial at the end of the videos I
will always try to keep that there I
know people the number one comment are
like thank you for getting to the point
so all the comments commentary is at the
end you don't have to listen to it here
at the end but I will keep the the kind
of the meat and potatoes of the video I
will keep that at the beginning and I
know I sometimes videos get too long
this one's probably going to be
extremely long but I will keep my
commentaries always at the end and um I
really would appreciate everybody's
support if you could hit the like And
subscribe and the follow on those other
platforms I really really would
appreciate it and thanks for watching
somebody knows I'm making chicken
nuggets today
