This is hands-down the best robot vacuum I’ve tried, and now it’s cheaper than ever

My first run with a robot vacuum was pretty basic, but still kind of mind-blowing. Unboxing it felt like opening a portal to the Jetsons — push a button, and off it went, aimlessly bumping around like it had somewhere important to be. It was fun, until it wasn’t. The limitations piled up fast, and I realized I needed something way smarter. If you’ve had that same reality check, you’re not alone. Luckily, today’s latest and greatest robot vacuums are in a whole different league. Take the Narwal Freo Z Ultra, for example — this AI-powered vacuum and mop combo is a serious upgrade from the early days of robot cleaners.

Normally, this cleaning machine will set you back $1,500 (not exactly pocket change). But thanks to Prime Day, it’s down to just $850 for members. That’s $550 off, and the lowest price it’s ever hit.

What’s great about the Narwal Freo Z Ultra?

Even with the $850 price tag, this robot is a steal for what it brings to the table. When we tested the Narwal Freo Z Ultra, we were impressed for several reasons. It’s got smart, hygiene-focused features, strong suction, a clever AI-powered cleaning system, and a brush that won’t turn into a hairball nightmare.

The Freo Z Ultra packs a serious punch with 12,000Pa of suction power, meaning it handles hard floors and carpets without breaking a sweat. What’s wild is how quietly it runs despite all that muscle. It scoops up about 99% of particles off hard floors. For context, the older Freo X Ultra could suck up metal marbles with just 8,200Pa, so this new model isn’t just an upgrade: it’s a beast.

Furthermore, it empties its own bin, washes its mop pads with hot water, and can go about four months without needing a new dust bag. So, it’s the kind of low-maintenance help we all need. With dual cameras, triple lasers, and some AI chops, it glides around your home like it’s been living there for years. It avoids everything from chair legs to curious pets, and can actually tell what kind of mess it’s dealing with, then figures out the best way to handle it.
