A vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the space. Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, for example the Narwal Freo having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not.
Xiaomi X10 Plus also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move to the mapped-out areas 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 path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Xiaomi X10 Plus has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles.

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 Xiaomi X10 Plus's reach, enabling it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these often-neglected areas.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin 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. Xiaomi X10 Plus also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it reduces the need for constant monitoring.
The Narwal Freo weighs 4.4kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 3.8kg
is lighter than the Narwal Freo with a difference of 0.6kg. It's important to take in consideration the weight of the robot vacuum when choosing 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 effectively 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 room
Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 350mm
has the same width as that of Narwal Freo. 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 measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is an important consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 97mm
measures less in height than the Narwal Freo with a difference of 9mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can go 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 a crucial factor that 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
Xiaomi X10 Plus, at mAh5,200
has more battery power than the Narwal Freo with a difference of
A bigger capacity implies longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete operations with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Narwal Freo refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to be recharged.
Narwal Freo's operating time is 3.3h
The Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 2h
spends less time than the Narwal Freo with a difference of only 1.3h
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 operating power consumption of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to 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 often measured in watts (W) and can vary among different robot vacuum models based on several consuption factors. The Xiaomi X10 Plus, at 55W
consumes less power than the Narwal Freo with a difference of 5W. Lower power consumption is more energy-efficient and cost-effective over time, but it may also affect cleaning performance, especially on carpets.
