Narwal’s Freo X Ultra, one of our favorite robovacs, is 60 percent off

Let’s face it — cleaning is the worst, and most of us would rather do literally anything else. If you ever wished somebody else would take care of it for you, today’s deal on the Narwal Freo X Ultra is worth a look. The robot vacuum / mop hybrid does most of the hard work so you don’t have to lift a finger, and is currently down to an all-time low of $549.99 ($850 off) at Best Buy and Amazon.

My colleague Jennifer Pattison Tuohy says the Narwal Freo X Ultra is one of the best mopping vacuums she’s ever tested, which is why it’s one of her top robot vacuum recommendations. Its spinning triangular mops scrub hard surfaces remarkably well, even swinging slightly so it can get closer to baseboards. It also comes equipped with dual four-liter water tanks — larger than what you’ll find on most rivals — so the Narwal can clean for longer without needing a refill.  Plus, it automatically adjusts mop pressure based on floor type and will even go over areas that remain dirty after the first pass.

It’s a capable vacuum too, quietly delivering up to 8,200 Pa of suction to pick up dirt and debris. An anti-tangle brush makes it effective on carpets, while a disposable onboard bin compresses dust for easier cleanup. It also supports several voice assistants — including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant — so you can control the robovac with just your voice.
