[CINEMATIC INTRO ]
Hey friends Andrew here - hope you're well! Robot vacuum cleaners have always been an
interesting proposition they help with a big chore which is cleaning mopping and vacuuming
and I've been through a fair share of Robot vacuum cleaners and unless you're going for
the top of the range more often than not they've been disappointing and instead of vacuuming dust
they've sat in storage collecting dust but this this is the new Noel Frio self-cleaning
Robot vacuum and it's different it's one of the most advanced and feature-rich self-cleaning
Robot vacuum cleaners and I've had the chance to test it out in my own Studio over the last month
considering the narwell Frio costs a considerable 1 300 let's see what makes it so different if it
can truly automate a big chore and if it's worth actually buying first things first let's unbox
this together I'll be setting this up in my office and Studio setup which is almost a thousand square
feet in size with a mix of floorboards tiles and rugs so it does take a decent chunk of time
cleaning the space and anytime back in our busy lives is always welcome so I actually first heard
about the Narwhal Frio and T10 vacuums through Tick Tock and I loved how self-sufficient and
minimal its design is so when narwell reached out as a sponsor to send this Frio over I naturally
said yes to this Tech Gadget so thank you to nawal for sending this over so setup out of the box is a
breeze fill the base docking station up with water and its cleaning solution too plug in the base
docking station in plug in the car color-coded side brushes into the 3-0 slot the Frio into the
dock and set it up via its display here with the companion app it's also worth mentioning
that one of frio's big new improvements over its predecessor the T10 is frio's fully integrated
Mop Heads which were previously an add-on attachment now let's take a look at its design
where most robot vacuums are sterile in design I think the nawal Frio is Sleek as heck in light
mode white and has unsurprisingly won Design Awards for it it's very unassuming in its all
white glossy plastic discrete narwhal brand Mark here an unobtrusive camera sensors which include
lidar on the bottom side the Frio has two rounded triangle microfiber pads that it uses for mopping
plus two side brushes and a main roller brush in the middle that it uses for vacuuming and although
this may not be important to some the fact that this Tech Gadget will be living in plain sight
in your common room in your home I think it's design aesthetic is an important part an important
consideration and integrating into your home seamlessly and thankfully I personally like the
design moving on to the base docking station this thing is made to be self-sufficient and is pretty
worthy of Praise just like the Frio itself the dock is also well designed and it features some
seriously cool elements I haven't previously seen in a self-cleaning Robot vacuum cleaner firstly
it's Unique in the sense that it literally eats up the entire vacuum and almost hides it away from
view unlike most other docks it resembles more of like this hibernation cave that encompasses the
entire vacuum something I haven't personally seen before typically you'll see the vacuum
sitting completely open to view on the dock on the front right hand corner there's this recessed
LCD display which I haven't seen on a base stock either before and I think it's pretty genius it
gives you full control troll of the vacuum right from the display without even touching the app on
your phone it displays everything from the status and battery life to the device settings and all
its five different cleaning modes the Dual vacuum and MOB mode vacuum then mop mode Frio mode vacuum
mode or mop mode it has this Nifty auto feed feature too by placing the custom narwal lemon
and basil cleaner into the base station upside down right here it then trickles the cleaning
solution into the robot's mops so it washes the floors with not just water but with water and a
subtly centered cleaning solution for an extra thyroid clean it's incredibly nice where most
previous Robot vacuum cleaners I've used only clean with water this extra addition goes a
long way in keeping tiles and floorboards extra clean and bright but more about its mopping and
vacuuming performance in a second when the Frio Auto docks back into its base station the tanks
fill up with dirty water after its mop and these water tanks are easy to take out and empty and
then fill up again with clean water so it's ready to manage its next clean it definitely definitely
gets brownie points for its feature pack design but of course a real test and worthiness comes in
its vacuuming performance so let's take a look at how it vacuums and mops so it's safe to say over
the last few weeks the mopping performance of the nylon Frio is a standout the unique combination of
narwhals cleaning solution Auto adjuster downward force of mopping pads and gentle heat cleaning
turns the studio space smelling squeaky fresh and nice to the touch when Barefoot it's mop head and
side brushes are even retractable so there's no cross contamination before and after every mop
the mop heads are heated to 40 degrees in the base station which is about 100 degrees Fahrenheit and
this ensures that the mops are both properly dried and bacteria is killed off and not spread around
the floor around the home which is pretty nasty so with all the work that I do in here unboxing
things moving furniture around having guests over the floorboards get Pretty Dirty pretty
fast and it needs a mop at least once a week and post mop by the Frio I can noticeably fill and
see a difference in cleanliness and the fact that it does it automatically without any of
my input is such a game changer and I likely have the Frio cleaning mode to think it's my favorite
cleaning mode and it's worth mentioning because it's yet another feature that makes this Robot
vacuum unique the Frio mode is essentially an AI supported clean mode that actively cleans rather
than passively cleans so what I mean by this is it will analyze live based on its cameras and sensors
just how dirty the room is and it will return to a vacuum and mop certain areas more than once if
it deems that area is still dirty or extra dirty it does this with what not well calls its dirt
Sense Technology by detecting how dirty the water is being sucked up amongst its camera sensors as
well and it does a pretty good job from what I can see with its web of cameras and lidar sensors to
detect how much pressure and moisture needs to be applied to floors to get that Perfect Clean
while avoiding obstacles too it does a pretty good job at that too so its mopping performance
is outstanding but what about its vacuuming with the vacuum mode on Frio uses the roller brush plus
the side brushes to collect up dirt from carpet and rugs when placed on these rugs here which
by the way have not been vacuumed for weeks I just haven't had the time there is a good layer of dust
and Gunk on it the Frio does a solid job picking up that dust with its 3000 PA suction power I even
poured a bunch of shredded paper across the rug just to test out how much of it it can actually
pick up and it did a perfect job picking up every single Shred with all of its 3000 PA suction power
it's quieter than other Robot vacuum cleaners I've tested coming down to about 50 to 60 decibels so
it's decently quiet as much as it's efficient and work from home friendly you can turn this on and
it won't be overly loud enough to distract you while working at home which is great it's also
one of the first robot cleaners to be able to both vacuum and mop simultaneously and that's
no small feat it'll also intelligently prioritize vacuum or moppy modes based on the detected floor
type automatically there's actually a few more worthwhile features that set it apart and I
think are worth mentioning the smart swing mode on this ensures that it mops and vacuums much closer
to the edge of the wall by using this unique rear twisting movement called smart swing in Frio mode
it has a smart path so it overlaps its routes for better cleaning coverage too and it also
features just smart mopping so it automatically creates and saves a map of your home based on
its lidar sensors and so we can better navigate around after its first few cleans with all its
features though a heads up that the Frio lacks 5 gigahertz Wi-Fi support and there isn't any sort
of remote camera viewing functionality which would have been really nice to see at this higher price
points all in all though this is undoubtedly one of the more premium self-cleaning robot vacuums
it's incredibly feature Rich features that are genuinely helpful and not just gimmicky I've been
able to set up a cleaning schedule and trust that it'll do a great enough job that I do not need to
mop after it myself and for all of this narwhal has won multiple industry Awards including Times
best inventions to speak for its great design and technological prowess but is the Nawa Frio
and self-cleaning robot vacuums actually worth it well it comes down to affordability and how much
you value your time if you're an incredibly busy individual and getting back an hour of your time
a week is significant to you then the nawal Frio and Robot vacuum cleaners are a worthy investment
at that 1 300 price point for me the Frio gives me a freshly lemon basil centered space and gives
me back an hour of my time every week and for that it's worth it and I also appreciate the fact that
it looks like Eve from Wally if you made it to the end of this video comment the code word lemon
squeezy and I'll give it a like if you want to see a tour of my office and Studio I'll leave a video
up here for you to check out and as always thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video
