The vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. This can be used for different situations, e.g.
the Narwal Freo having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out spaces to be cleaned ignoring those that aren't.
Narwal Freo has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its surroundings, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Narwal Freo are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. Narwal Freo is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum.
The Narwal Freo has 3 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes supported by robot vacuum cleaners can vary depending on the make and model of the robot vacuum. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, having only 3
has the same number of cleaning modes as the Narwal Freo
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning surfaces. Narwal Freo has a period of 1 year, warranty periods typically range from 1 - 2 years, however some higher-end models may offer longer warranties.
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Narwal Freo. When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. Narwal Freo has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and cleaned to keep up the vacuum's performance.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good for the environment. The Narwal Freo's dustbin capacity is at 0.5L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it needs to be emptied. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Narwal Freo by only 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Narwal Freo has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for certain cleaning tasks, since they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. Instead of a single side brush, which is commonly found on many robot vacuums, twin side brushes have two side brushes one on each side of the robot vacuum. They extend the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni's reach, enabling it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these hard to clean areas.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied. Narwal Freo supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
The Narwal Freo weighs 4.4kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and portability. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 4.4kg
has the same weight as the Narwal Freo. It's important to consider the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Narwal Freo has a width of 350mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 362mm
measures more in width than the Narwal Freo by 12mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Narwal Freo's height measures 106mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with low clearance in your home. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 103.5mm
measures less in height than the Narwal Freo with a difference of 2.5mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage.
The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Narwal Freo's battery power is 3,600mAh
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Narwal Freo by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large home or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Narwal Freo's operating time is 3.3h
The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 4.3h
lasts more than the Narwal Freo by 1h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Narwal Freo has a charge time of 3h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. The Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 6.5h
charges for longer than the Narwal Freo with a difference of 3.5h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum is ready for its next cleaning cycle. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home. Narwal Freo has a power consumption of 60W, power is typically measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors.
Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, at 45W
