One of points that distinguishes the Narwal Freo Z10 Ultra is certainly the design, and it is no small thing if we consider that everyone creates his home also based on aesthetic tastes.
So Narwal offers a high -end product that stands out from others, often all similar, but does not give up many technologies. We tried it for a month and that’s how he got away with it.
How it sucks: double side brush and ia
There are not many robots vacuum cleaner with two lateral brushes, and here you already see a different Narwal strategy that offers them and even manages them independently by exploiting the IA that acts according to the context.
Today there are many products that boast of having an artificial intelligence on board, but that of lava-aspira robots is perhaps one of the few sectors where it really makes the difference because the recognition of the type of dirt, that of the obstacles and knowing how to adapt the situation can make the difference between a clean floor … and a disaster.
With Freo Z10 Ultra, for example, the recognition of obstacles avoids dragging the cables away or of going to aspire the needs of pets, but also works in a more refined way using the 3D vision that simulates the human one.
There are two cameras, and this gives the robot of eyes capable of perceiving the depthand there is the recognition of the type of particles that varies the suction power and the rotation speed of the brushes according to the case.
Flour or a very thin dust pile? The Freo Z10 Ultra approaches it in a cautious way to avoid lifting it into the environment and spreading it around: we tried to overthrow the fine powder collected by this kiss tried some time ago, and the result was excellent.
Then came the turn of the rice test: even in this case the behavior showed the ability of the z10 ultra to understand what was facing and act accordingly, in order to increase the aspiration power. It should also be noted that the mocates are activated only when the area is well aspirated, so as to avoid kneading dirt with wet role.
How lava: the “spirit of whales 3.0” works well
The best way to obtain ideal results is to activate the automatic mode, the Freo Mode also called by the application “Trusted of the Spirit of Balene 3.0”. Curious and fun translation aside, The automatic mode is recommended Because it uses the robot sensors to decide what to do: the mocates are washed between one room and another to avoid contamination and artificial intelligence decides when to review on the most obstinate stains. The quantity of water is managed according to the humidity detected.
However, by taking a test with manual settings, putting the humidity of the clothes to a minimum, it can be seen how cleaning thanks to the pressure and rotation of the mocates is already of a good level. In the photos below, the first and after a cleaning of milk stains of one day old and now encrusted:
Even at the minimum settings, the result was almost perfect and a second pass was enough, which in automatic mode the robot only does if it detects a stubborn stain, to completely remove the incrustation of milk. More difficult, however, the task with tomato skins now dry or more obstinate food residues, for those you have to proceed with a hand removal.
Also interesting The adjustments of up which leave discretion so as to adapt the cleaning to the situation: the extendable mocio can for example extend only, leaving small spaces not covered near the battiscopa which, however, will be passed to the next washing, so as to save energy and time and still have good cleaning on alternate days, or be more meticulous to get to a 100% coverage at the cost of more time for single cleaning.
The fact that this choice exists is not to be underestimated: those who are often outside the home, for example, will choose meticulous cleaning. Instead, those who have to live with the robot while this cleans the floors, hypothesize during the Smart Working, for example, will prefer a quick passage.
The app: intuitive, but the translation is to be improved
The application is quite intuitivethe various options are easily found and everything can be managed easily if you are already used to similar apps. Too bad that The Italian translation is sometimes inaccurate, or not understandable even if technically correct.
Defining “high” the state of the dust bag can confuse: does it mean that it is full? Or who still has a lot of autonomy and therefore is quite empty? Entering the sub -menu it is easily understood that “high” means that it is still empty, but more attention to translations would certainly not spoil because it must be considered that these products must be understood even to those who are less skilled or accustomed to technology.
Excluding this defect, the app provides A myriad of useful informationsuch as the reports that show us the obstacles identified and serve to verify that the IA is on the right path: apart from a suitcase exchanged for pet, correct error manually so as to train the algorithm, the system has recognized very well cables, shoes and obstacles such as the legs of tables and chairs.
In addition, there is a screen on purpose for the recognition of the spots: Freo Z10 Ultra, finished cleaning in automatic mode (Freo Mode) You can view the areas where a stain has been recognized And you can see how many times the robot has passed on those points to eliminate it.
Autonomy: good performance
With 30% battery, the z10 ultra covers about 40 net square meters, therefore a larger surface if we consider furniture, sofas and inaccessible areas. We can therefore conclude that with a recharge manages to wash and aspire in automatic mode, even with some extra steps on the most obstinate stains, 3 times in a 50/70 square meter apartment.
In short, The battery is not a limitalso because the robot recharges immediately when he returns to the base. The limit of the tanks remains: that of the dust replaces every several months, that of the water instead varies according to the settings.
Using it in automatic mode, In a living area with kitchen and bathroomwhere there are often stains on which the robot must review, the autonomy is A “full” every 2 washes.
In the sleeping areas or less jokeswith the same 50/70 square meter apartment, You also reach three washes Before having to empty the dirty water tank and fill that of clean water.
