Data from the official Ecovacs and Narwal sites.
2026 verdict
Runtime, dock capacity and value put the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni ahead of the Narwal Freo 20, even though the Narwal has the stronger mop and the higher suction.
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni is rated at 236 minutes against 210 and carries a 3 L dock bag against 2.4 L, and it is the more affordable robot of the two. The Narwal Freo 20 counters with 31,000 Pa against 24,800 and its FlowWash track mop, which rinses itself with hot water as it scrubs and is the more convincing hard-floor cleaner. Both are Matter certified with the same broad platform support, and both docks empty, wash and dry the mop. Choose the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni for a longer run, a bigger bin and a lower price, and the Narwal Freo 20 if mopping quality and dual-band Wi-Fi matter most.

What the differences mean
Suction
The Narwal Freo 20 is rated at 31,000 Pa and the Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni at 24,800. The Narwal has the deeper pull, which shows most on thick carpet and embedded pet hair, though both handle everyday debris on hard floors.
Runtime and dock bin
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni runs 236 minutes with a 3 L dock bag; the Narwal Freo 20 runs 210 with a 2.4 L bag, though it holds a larger clean water tank. The Ecovacs finishes larger floors in one pass more often and empties less.
Mopping system
The Narwal Freo 20 uses a rolling track mop rinsed with hot water as it scrubs, which owners rate above pad systems for lifting dried spills. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni uses an OZMO roller washed with 75°C water at the dock, and neither doses detergent automatically.
Wi-Fi bands
The Narwal Freo 20 supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks. The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni is 2.4 GHz only, so a router that keeps the bands separate will need that band free during setup.
Price
The Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni is the more affordable robot of the pair and does not give up the full station experience to get there: it still empties, washes the roller with 75°C water and dries it, and it reaches Matter.

What owners say
Owners of both robots describe the same upgrade from a basic machine to a dock that empties, washes and dries on its own. Ecovacs DEEBOT T80S Omni owners highlight stronger suction on pet hair and mixed floors, quiet running they can leave on nearby, and mapping that returns and resumes, while their main frustration is an app whose map editing feels less refined than they expected. Narwal Freo 20 owners are the more emphatic about mopping, watching dirty water drain from the dock as proof the roller picked dirt up rather than pushing it, and they praise edge coverage, obstacle avoidance and fast room labelling, though several report Wi-Fi pairing that took attempts and an app with many settings to learn.
