What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Runtime, Charge time, Noise, Weight.
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
19,000 Pa buys the marketing number, not the carpet result: the same review found the cheaper P10 Pro Ultra picks up more embedded debris.
The triple-sensor stack of LiDAR, structured light and a camera earns strong perception scores, but the record documents no recovery behavior at all, so how it handles a stuck or lost run remains unconfirmed.
Vendor-only evidence: all three cited sources are manufacturer or self-published, so no independent record backs the reliability claim behind the price.
Dropping the dual-camera system removes any front-facing lens, which privacy-conscious buyers may welcome, and caps built-in recognition at 150+ object types instead of the standard Freo 20’s 300+.
Owners who mop most days get the most out of the continuous in-run rinse cycle; someone mopping once a week will rarely notice the four-step FlowWash sequence running at all.
The Freo 20 Edge has been on US sale for exactly one week, too brief a window for any independent failure or update record to exist yet.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
- Homes requiring sub-15-minute setup or zero configuration
- The all-in-one station needs a permanent spot with an outlet and clearance, and the first mapping run has to finish before scheduling and room zoning are useful.
- Owners who will not have a camera in the home
- Obstacle avoidance runs on an RGB camera alongside LiDAR and the 3DAdapt structured-light array, so object recognition on this machine depends on an onboard camera.
- Buyers wanting the widest obstacle-recognition coverage
- The Edge omits the dual-camera system the standard Freo 20 uses, recognizing 150+ object types versus 300+; households with varied clutter may see more missed or mishandled objects.
- Owners needing a confirmed long-term reliability record
- US sales began 14 Sep 2026; no independent owner reports or failure data exist yet, so buyers wanting a proven multi-year track record should wait or look elsewhere.
- High-pile or deep carpet homes prioritizing mop performance
- Suction and downforce specs target hard floors and lower-pile carpet; Narwal has not independently published performance figures for thick or high-pile carpet with this specific model.
- Buyers wanting documented runtime or battery specs before purchase
- Battery capacity, runtime, and charge time have not been independently confirmed for this model; buyers who plan cleaning schedules around a specific runtime figure have nothing to check yet.
- Homes needing exact footprint or weight before buying
- Independently documented width, depth, and weight are not yet available beyond the 9.5cm body height, complicating placement planning in tight storage spots or under low furniture.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
- Weekly: Refill the clean water tank and empty the dirty water tank; inspect the dock for debris and wipe the baseplate.
- Monthly: Inspect the filter housing for saturation and check the mop pads for matting.
- Every 3-6 months: Clean or replace the primary filter.
- Up to every 75 days: Replace the 3.2 liter dust bag, which MOVA rates for up to 75 days of use.
- Seasonally: In hard-water regions, run the station’s self-clean cycle with MOVA’s cleaning solution. Do not put vinegar or an acidic descaler through the water circuit.
- Every 3-6 months: Replace the auto-empty dust bag (2.5L capacity, rated up to 120 days of use).
- Monthly: Wipe the hidden dToF LiDAR turret and structured-light sensors to maintain mapping accuracy.
- Monthly: Descale the dock’s wash chamber to prevent mineral buildup from the water refill cycle.
- Weekly: Check and refill the dock’s clean-water reservoir if not on a plumbed-in setup.
- Weekly: Inspect the FlowWash track mop for debris caught at the 4.8cm edge-extension mechanism.
- As needed: Clear hair or debris from the main brush and side brush.
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
