Narwal pitches the Freo 20 as a hard-floor specialist, and its documented mop system backs that up. A flattened track mop is fed 140°F water through 16 nozzles during cleaning, then scraped so dirty water goes to the wastewater tank, which Narwal says helps on grease, dried coffee and muddy paw prints. That makes it the only pick here that publishes heated water at the floor rather than only in the dock. The dock adds 212°F mop washing, 140°F hot air drying and up to 120 days of dust storage, the longest interval on this list. Narwal lists 31,000 Pa of suction, a DualFlow tangle-free system and TwinAI Dodge obstacle avoidance, and the robot crosses thresholds up to 1.57 in. At $1,099.99 when checked it costs about $400 more than the top two picks, and its 3.74 in height limits under-furniture reach. We compared documented features and published prices.
