Narwal has officially launched the Freo 002 Max robot vacuum cleaner in China. The device features a suction power of up to 25,000Pa, an advanced self-cleaning system, and a new sterilization feature powered by dynamic electrolyzed water.

The standard model with a regular water tank is priced at 4,699 yuan ($658), while the slim version with automatic water supply and drainage is priced at 5,299 yuan ($743).

Narwal Freo 002 Max Specifications

The Freo 002 Max comes equipped with Narwal’s latest bionic AI visual system, which includes dual RGB wide-angle cameras and a 10TOPS processing chip. This system enables the robot to recognize more than 250 types of objects and map surroundings with a depth accuracy of up to 5mm. Narwal claims this approach surpasses conventional LIDAR or structured-light navigation systems in terms of recognition precision and environmental understanding.

The robot features a slim 9.5cm body that allows it to clean under low-clearance furniture and cross obstacles up to 40mm. It uses 75mm dual-sided brushes and offers three intelligent edge-tracing modes: close-follow, safe-distance, and smart detour. These features help it deliver near-complete coverage around edges and corners.

Narwal has implemented an adaptive cleaning system that adjusts suction power and mop pressure based on detected dirt type. The device uses a tread-style roller mop system with constant surface pressure up to 12N. The mop head receives a steady spray of 45°C heated water for stain removal. The robot also supports zero-tangle cleaning through redesigned anti-hair-wrapping brushes and cyclone-guided suction, certified by SGS.

Narwal has added the Pet Mode 1.0 Pro, which detects and avoids pet pads while supporting interactive voice responses that simulate the owner’s voice. The robot is powered by a 6,400mAh battery that provides up to 3.8 hours of cleaning. It carries a 475mL clean water tank and a 500mL wastewater tank onboard.

The Freo 002 Max integrates NarGPT 2.0, an upgraded AI voice assistant capable of understanding complex commands such as “clean under the sofa in the living room” or “clean the carpeted room.” This assistant supports hierarchical map awareness and flexible zone targeting.

The base station features automatic hot water rinsing of internal parts using 80°C water, electrolyzed water-based sterilization, and 45°C warm air drying for the mop, pipes, and dust box. It also includes a disposable dustbin liner system with UV sterilization. The base can handle up to 120 days of usage with a 2.5L dust bag and supports full auto-refill and drainage.

The device features clean and dirty dual water tanks and a self-agitating system inside the dirty tank to prevent sediment buildup. It also supports multi-map 3D mapping, smart scheduling, cliff and overflow detection, zigzag cleaning patterns, and consumables tracking.

The robot measures 35.12 x 36.35 x 9.5 cm, while the base station comes in two sizes: 43 x 40.2 x 46.1 cm for the water tank version, and 41 x 43.3 x 28 cm for the ultra-slim base.
