Narwal Freo Z Ultra robot plummets to a new all-time low price
Here at Android Authority, we've been on a quest to test all the worthy robot vacuums available, and we have a list of the best robot vacuums here. The Narwal Freo Z Ultra is the top contender, but that thing is usually really pricey! If you've been looking for a good deal on it, this is the best one we've seen so far.
Buy the Narwal Freo Z Ultra for just $849.99 ($650 off)
This offer is available from Amazon. That said, it's only available to Amazon Prime subscribers. You can learn all about Prime plans and pricing here. The good news is that new subscribers get a free 30-day trial, so you may not even need to pay to take advantage of this deal, along with this week's Amazon Prime Day offers.

While spending nearly $850 on a robot is still quite a hit, this is a fantastic deal if you're looking for an amazing, premium device to clean your floors. The Narwal Freo Z Ultra is usually $1,499.99! As mentioned earlier, this is a record-low price, so the robot vacuum and mop combo has never been cheaper. During our Narwal Freo Z Ultra review, we highly praised this model. It's quite the treat.
Let's start with the vacuuming function. This thing has a 12,000Pa suction power. This means it can pick up 99% of all particles on hard floors. The previous-generation Freo X Ultra did amazingly picking up metal marbles with an 8,200Pa suction power, so this one will do even better.
Another feature I personally absolutely love is the zero-tangle brush. This will be a blessing for anyone with long hair (such as myself) or pets. It works like a dream, and I've never had to manually pull out hairs from the brush.

The dual mop pads also do a great job cleaning and making floors shine. This is mainly because the Narwal Freo Z Ultra will keep cleaning until your floors are actually clean. The base can measure how dirty your mopping pads return, and it will continue sending the robot until they come back squeaky clean.
The dock will wash and dry the mopping pads, helping avoid funky smells. The dust bag can store debris for up to seven weeks. All things combined make for nearly hands-free maintenance, at least most of the time. According to Narwal, it can handle 120 days of vacuuming operation without human interaction!

It's also a pretty smart little robot. The dual cameras, triple-laser, and AI enhancements do an incredible job identifying dangers, such as moving pets, cables, toys, and more. In addition, it can identify different types of messes and adjust the cleaning method accordingly. For example, it will know if you spilled ketchup, and take the best course of action based on that information.
Again, the Narwal Freo Z Ultra has never been cheaper. This is a really good deal on a very popular robot vacuum and mop combo. You might want to act quickly and secure yours. We've seen hot products go out of stock during Prime Day in the past!
Extra deal: For those who really want to save!
Narwal Freo Pro Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo

LiDAR and more in a mid-range bot
There are not many compromises in the Narwal Freo Pro to help bring the price down. Only a few controls in the base station, manual detergent addition, but still some of the best floor cleaning capabilities we've seen from a robot vacuum.

$340.00
The Narwal Freo Z Ultra is amazing, but not all of us feel comfortable spending that much money on it, no matter how discounted it is. If you're on a budget and still want a really nice robot vacuum and mop combo, the Narwal Freo Pro is also at a record-low price right now. Just keep in mind this is also a Prime-exclusive deal.
While not as impressive as the premium option above, it is still really good, and will stretch your dollar much further. I mean, it is only $359.99!
Most of the features are actually quite similar. The base will wash and dry the mopping pads, which are nearly identical across all Narwal models. This one will also continue cleaning the floors until they are actually clean. While not as precise, the lidar system works very well, and the robot will navigate your home without issues. The main roller and side brushes offer a tangle-free experience.

This one is surprisingly good for the price! Where are the sacrifices? Well, none are really deal-breakers, at least in my opinion. It has an 8,500Pa suction power, but that is still enough to pick up all common debris. Also, the dock has no physical buttons, but I have never used those on my robot.
The one kind of annoying thing is that it doesn't have automatic detergent dispensing. Instead, you have to throw a dissolving tablet into the freshwater bin every time you refill it. I only do this like once a week, so not that big of a deal. I wouldn't mind throwing a tablet in there if I am saving that much on this robot!
This is likely the better choice for most people.

The tech behind Rivian's 2026 Quad-Motor truck and SUV — and that kick turn
As Rivian starts accepting orders for its 2026 Quad-Motor pickup truck and SUV, customers may initially be enticed by the power and tricks the four motors in these rebooted EVs can unleash. After all, four motors delivering a combined 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 pound-feet of torque — and the ability to accelerate from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in less than 2.5 seconds — is hard to ignore. But they should also pay attention to the software. 'The quad is really the pinnacle of everything that Rivian has done so far,' Wassym Bensaid, the company's head of software, told TechCrunch, quickly providing a punch list on acceleration, speed, torque, and an estimated 374-mile range. 'Now that we have full in-house motors, we have full control on the stack, hardware and software.' That control has allowed Rivian to introduce several new features, which will roll out via software updates in the quad-motor this September. (Customers can order the quad-motor trim starting today with deliveries beginning as early as this week, according to the company.) The feature that will likely inspire the most TikTok videos and Instagram reels is 'kick turn,' a feature that adjusts the power to the inside wheels and lets the vehicle spin about its center — even as it's moving. Kick turn, which TechCrunch tested during a press drive in June, allows a vehicle traveling under 20 mph on dirt to kick out its back end and swing it to the right or left without moving the steering wheel. The idea is to give off-roaders the ability to make tight turns on trails by pushing a button and without going through the tedious task of a 3-point turn. Rivian fans and followers might recall a promoted, but never released, feature called 'tank turn.' Kick turn, which controls power and tire grip, is the real-world and toned down version of tank turn. Rivian told TechCrunch tank turn was never released because its founder and CEO RJ Scaringe and others worried that tank turn would ruin trails. Not the best look for a company that has made outdoor activities and preserving the environment a big part of its brand.

Boston, MA | REGISTER NOW Kick turn could still be abused if the driver stayed in the same spot and continued to spin the vehicle in a circle. However, Rivian has placed some software-powered guardrails on the feature, including limiting the speed and only allowing it to spin in dirt. Second-generation overhaul Image Credits:Kirsten Korosec Rivian first revealed its second-generation quad-motor configuration during a May 2024 press drive in Washington, in a bid to showcase the overhaul of its flagship R1 line. That reboot touched every inch of its insides from the battery pack and suspension system to the electrical architecture, interior seats, sensor stack, and software user interface. The effort, which has led the company to build more of its major components in-house, is aimed at reducing the cost of manufacturing and improving the performance and appeal of its EVs. Deliveries of the new dual-motor and performance dual-motor trims began almost immediately, with the tri-motor configuration following by August 2024. The quad-motor, which is its most expensive and powerful trim, took another year to develop and refine the software features and embedded systems, and how they worked alongside the motors, suspension, and thermal management, according to the company. Image Credits:Kirsten Korosec And the stakes are high that Rivian gets the quad-motor right. Rivian's highly-anticipated and cheaper R2 vehicles aren't expected to go into production until the first half of 2026. Rivian is hoping the new quad-motor, which starts between $125,990 and $115,990 depending on the vehicle trim, will give sales a boost. And the software is a critical piece of its bid. If the four motors (one located at each wheel) are the heart of the second-generation quad-motor, the software is the brain making it all work together. Bensaid pointed to the development of advanced torque vectoring and balancing algorithms that have been introduced in the second-generation quad-motor. 'Think about it as super complex mathematical processing behind the scenes to allow real-time usage and decisions based on information from the four wheels and then the four motors, while obviously keeping safety guards in place,' he said. What this means in practice is numerous sensors on the quad-motor R1S SUV and R1T truck provide information on yaw rate, steering angles, and other inputs, which are then fed into software models to control torque. In other words, Rivian's in-house hardware and software work together in real-time to distribute power at each wheel electronically. Software meets hardware Image Credits:Kirsten Korosec That has allowed the EV maker to introduce kick turn as well as other software-meets-hardware features to the quad-motor, including its 'RAD Tuner,' which lets users change the vehicle's driving dynamics via the central touchscreen. The RAD Tuner was developed by a team of engineers, software developers, and designers nicknamed the 'Rivian Adventure Department.' The origin story began several years ago, according to Bensaid. 'Every time we would go and test and qualify version of the software or the car, we have an engineering screen which is hidden with the secret code,' he said. It was here that early Rivian employee and R2 chief engineer Max Koff and R1 chief engineer Luke Lynch would configure the car as they wished — an exercise that often pushed the vehicles to new limits. 'And that evolved into this idea of making this tuner available to customers.' With RAD Tuner, drivers can create their own customized driving mode from scratch or build upon presets like 'Rally' or 'Sport.' 'We really give users full control through software so that they can figure their unique personality of the car,' Bensaid said, adding this particular feature is really meant for expert drivers. Bensaid emphasized this is more than a simple change to the user interface that lets drivers tinker around with balance, stability, and ride height. 'I think what's really important is the technology behind it,' he said. 'For example, this torque balance, the fact that we're able to configure this with a very simple slider — this is years of engineering development to have a very sophisticated torque vectoring algorithm with really a high-precision control that allows us to change values while we're driving. It's technically extremely, extremely difficult to do this type of changes.' The company is also rolling out a launch cam feature, which uses an exterior camera recording to automatically capture so-called 'Launch Mode,' which that can catapult the new R1T quad-motor from a standstill to 60 miles per hour in less than 2.5 heart-pumping seconds. Users can replay the videos, view real-time stats like speed and distance overlays calculated by in-house controls software. Users can also export videos to a mobile device via USB port to save and share. NACS charging and more Image Credits:Kirsten Korosec The 2026 R1T and R1S vehicles, including the quad-motor, also come built in with the North American Charging Standard, which was originally developed and popularized by Tesla. This gives owners of the 2026 models access to Tesla's vast network of fast chargers, known as Superchargers. Rivian is also supplying quad-motor customers with a complimentary CCS DC adapter, which was the long-standing EV charging standard until recently, allowing them to plug into other networks. As part of this hardware upgrade, the company has also updated its software, specifically the EV charging trip planner feature. Now, when a customer opens the trip planner and selects a NACS station, the information is updated in the trip planner to reflect that they don't need an adapter.
