6 Newly Overvalued Stocks for the MonthMatthew Knies Is Growing Into the Maple Leafs X-Factor

Narwall reached out to me back in October asking if I was interested in testing their recently released Freo Z Ultra robovac. There is not a lot of information online about the company that produces the Freo Z Ultra, from what I was able to find out, the company exists since 2017, and has patented in China, claims to serve 1.8M+ users globally in 30+ countries and regions and boasts over 800 other patented technologies. With that out of the way, first a disclaimer: Narwal provided a free sample without any editorial input or review pre-approval. Now some specifications: I should mention that the price is the given MSRP. As of writing , so that softens the blow a bit with regard to the cost. The company sent me the Freo Z Ultra, which by the way is currently their flagship product; it came in a , because it is bundled with the Base Station which is rather large in itself. The charging dock is almost 40 cm (15.2") deep, 43cm (16.9") wide, with a height of 46.2cm (18.1"). It houses the trash bag, of which two are included in the box, and two water tanks, one for clean, and the other for dirty water. The top lid, which although is plastic, has a premium quality feel and weight to it, sadly, even though the build quality of it is excellent, the hinge does not utilize a soft close function, so beware of a loud "clap" when dropping it shut; are supposed to protect the lid from banging shut, but only the front two rubber feet actually protrude from the lid, with all others being lost inside their inserts. : The Freo Z Ultra itself follows a traditional design that you will find on many robovacs, it's essentially a circle with a raised central 'tower' that houses the LIDAR 4.0 system. The station looks quite nice and does not look out of place in my (mostly) white kitchen. All in all it looks great, doesn't look out of place, and it even matches my . The finish is a glossy white plastic, with a single white LED on the top. On the bottom is where you will start to see the difference, and what makes it a bit more unique. Rather than a cloth attachment, which is what you will find on most robovacs that mop, the Freo Z Ultra has two full spinning mop attachments, and two sweepers. On the side there's also a detachable brush for skirting boards. Here you can see that although the Base Station is large, it doesn't really take up any more room than a traditional self emptying dustbin. Okay, it is a little wider and taller, but for me, the fact it doesn't stick out so much from the wall is a win. In comparison with my Neabot Q11 for example, you can see above that although the Narwal comes with quite a large station, most of the room is taken up in height, and it actually has a smaller footprint thanks to its depth being smaller; that's because the Freo Z Ultra enters the station completely, rather than part of the way as is the norm for robovacs with just the self emptying dustbin. It's quite innovative considering the station not only accounts for emptying the dustbin portion, but also empties dirty water, and refills with clean water mixed with detergent through a module if you have that installed, and cleans the mops on the robovac after use. First of all, you will have to download the Narwal app, which you can look for on the or or scan the QR code on the Quick Start card that is included in the box. The Narwal turns on if you dock it to the charge port, or by holding down the standby button for five seconds. Once you have the app installed on your phone, you need to choose which model you have and the app will guide you through connecting it to your WiFi. Preparing the Base Station took the most work, as you have to remove some protective transport tape and rubber inserts for the bumper, fill and reinsert the clean and dirty water tanks, detergent, install the base ramp, and plug it in. I only had to remove some protective transport tape and install the side brush on the robot; the sweepers and mops were already installed, and there's no dustbin or water tank that can be managed inside the robot. Once you are paired up and you have enough charge, you are guided through the app to add the model, and I was immediately prompted to install a firmware update. After running the update, which rebooted the robovac, you can then link it with your chosen voice assistant, which is pretty effortless ( ) ( ) ( ) and then appears in devices on the Alexa app. As you can see with the above images, you are first asked to 'Start Mapping' the environment that the Freo Z Ultra operates in, it took the Freo Z Ultra around 31 minutes to map the ground floor of my house, which is six minutes quicker than it took the Neabot Q11. Moving back to the app, after mapping is completed, you are also offered the opportunity to edit the resulting map, which I ended up splitting into three zones. As you may see in the second picture, a couch was detected, but it was far larger and in the wrong spot on the map, I was also able to edit down the size and place it correctly. After an actual clean, two seats were also detected. In the third image you can also see how two carpet rugs are detected, the one in the study is not completely rectangle because it only scans what it can navigate over. Before getting started there are a few settings worth checking out. The AI DirtSense 2.0 and Obstacle Avoidance are intertwined with Freo Mind, which is something you can enable or disable, this lets the robot determine how intensively everything is cleaned, and even how often. For the past three years I have had my robovac scheduled to clean every night at 4am, and as the Neabot Q11 could only hold 250ML of water (detergent is not allowed) I removed the mop and did the floors myself, so my ground floor never gets real dirty, which the Freo Z Ultra seems to agree because it only ever gives the entire ground floor one pass with Freo Mind enabled and each setting set to "Smart". Aside from the Smart setting for Suction, Mopping, and Coverage Precision, there are four manual settings for vacuuming, Quiet, Normal, Strong, and Super Powerful. For mopping, Low, Normal, Wet Mopping, and finally Normal and Meticulous for coverage intensity. There's also a setting for Heavy Detergent, but I do not have this installed, I have the "standard" detergent module. In addition as you can see from the third image up above, you can even decide how often the robot returns to rinse and clean the mops, I left it on the default setting of 10 square meters. This means that the robovac has to return at least twice during a cleaning session to rinse and clean the mops, as the given area for mopping is 31m2. This also means the robovac is not spreading around dirty water; for a more intensive clean you could set it to return after every eight square meters. The Freo Z Ultra is said to have "obstacle avoidance", the tech exists in almost all mid to high range robovacs and is not new in itself, I observed it working as intended. Rather than just bashing into table legs and chairs, it stops short of these obstacles and carefully moves forward or around them. Narwal has a few examples of cable avoidance on its website that you can view and so forth, and although that's a cool feature, I generally don't leave such items on the ground when I know a scheduled cleaning is going to take place. I'm pleased to report that the Freo Z Ultra does not get stuck like my Neabot Q11 did . Neabot actually pushed an update that resulted in it completely avoiding the doormat in front of my screen door, so I had to sweep/vacuum that myself, bit annoying! As you would expect, the Freo Z Ultra detects what type of floor it is on and lifts the mop (up to 12mm) for carpets. It also has no issue navigating , which sometimes resulted in a "cliff detection" on the Neabot. I had set the Freo Z Ultra to the same schedule as the Neabot, 4am every day, but thanks to a bug in the app I was no longer able to manage the schedule or change any of the cleaning options until the app updated in late November. This bug was confirmed by my contact, so I had to be patient until I got the update, and this is important as you will see below. The water tank lasts for five cleans, but gave an ambiguous error before the app update, it still shows that message in the schedule (images above). The first image shows that it triggered the task and then immediately stopped, zero minutes of cleaning, because the water tank was empty and the dirty water tank was full. This was with the default setting. In addition, the control pad on the lid of the Base Station blinks with a red ring of death. This needs to be manually reset after the dirty water tank is emptied, and the clean water tank filled and replaced. It does not reset by itself, to do this you have to press the top icon that looks like a hat with two eyes, heh. Once the app was updated and I could edit the schedule I changed it to which now results in the robovac performing the full vacuum sequence and only giving the error once it completes vacuuming and is then supposed to mop. I feel like this is quite a major bug for a $1500 device. It should be telling me after the 4th clean that it's time to empty out the dirty water and refill the clean water tank so that the cleaning operations never have to be interrupted like this. In addition the setting is default, so I imagine a lot of buyers will be facing the same issue, if they haven't opted for the setting. By the way you can see from the second image above that the cleaning schedule jumps to 1h19m, up from 41 mins, so it doubles the cleaning time, but at the same time the cleaning area also goes from 31.3 square meters to around 56m2. Currently when the water runs out, I am still getting a vacuumed ground floor, which was not the case with the setting. I passed these details along to my contact. As you can see from the above image (I implore you to click on it for a larger image,) for some odd reason, even with two cameras, two sweepers, "Freo Mind", Lidar 4.0, and all the other Dirt Sense 2.0 tech inside the robot a side brush for edge cleaning, it failed to clean up this mess after two passes. Normally I have my dustbin standing there in the middle, but you can clearly see the bulk of the mess is to the sides, it sort of looks like the robot may have blown it there rather than sweep it up. When I empty the trash I usually place it up on the counter (because it is then extremely light to do so) this allows the Freo Z Ultra to also mop where the dustbin would normally be. I ended up sweeping it up myself, but it seems like the Freo Z Ultra has a blind spot. Another thing that should be mentioned, is how dirty the base station gets. I started using it on Oct 22, and I discovered the base in that state on Dec 5; that's six weeks of daily use. Inside were hairs, 2 nuts and damp line of gunk. The third image up above is after cleaning it. I reckon it will be in a much better state after six weeks this time around, because I am now vacuuming and then mopping. It's clear that the default setting of drags up gunk on the mops, which are then transferred to the base as it turns around and moves in to dock. To me this is another vote for . I passed on these details to my contact as well and will update when I hear back. A special mention should also be made for the Automatic Water Exchange System. This accessory was not shipped along with the Freo Z Ultra, and I really wanted to test this out too, but it is not available for purchase in The Netherlands. In the U.S. , which adds quite a bit to the total cost, but with the current $200 off coupon available on Amazon, maybe it's a viable option for prospective buyers. If I am able to secure this Automatic Water Exchange System, I will be sure to update this review with my findings. This definitely feels and looks like a premium product, but after weeks of use there are a few quirks that I am not happy with, such as a good level of mess being left behind (not just the one example I shared here) that I never experienced with the Neabot Q11. Such things can probably be fixed with a firmware update, as I expect it has everything to do with the decision making process of Freo Mind. I have not yet experimented with disabling the Smart option and just setting levels of suction and mopping myself, also because the Smart setting is to decide to give another pass if it comes across . I have not utilized the customer support yet, mainly because my experience with such help centers are just people that read back the FAQ and answers that are also present in the app, which by the way are quite extensive. I might get to the point where I send feedback, which is possible through an email to Narwal Support. One thing I can say, is that I definitely see the difference with the mop ability coupled with the detergent module, my floors are really shining. It's just the odd bits of crap left behind sometimes that I can't quite figure out yet. As I have said in previous robovac reviews, they all need a little help too. As you can see in the above image, I make the Kitchen Freo Z Ultra-friendly before I go to bed. It's up to you, of course, but I like having the entire space under my Kitchen island cleaned, not just parts of it. Would I recommend the Freo Z Ultra? It's quite an investment, and I think the problems I pointed out should be fixable with a firmware update, simply choosing Vacuum then Mop, should also keep my base station in a better state, because the mop will not be dragging around gunk like it was with . If you go for this, I'd recommend getting the Automatic Water Exchange System too, unless you are cool with managing the two water tanks every five days. All in all I do think it's a great product that has quirks that can be fixed.Ghana counted ballots on Saturday after a tight election with the ruling party's Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia trying to shake off anger over economic woes and rebuff a challenge by opposition party candidate ex-president John Mahama. Ghana's struggling economy dominated the election, after the west Africa gold and cacao producer went through a debt default, high inflation and negotiations for a $3 billion IMF bailout. Voters were choosing a successor to Bawumia's boss, President Nana Akufo-Addo, who steps down after serving the maximum of two four-year terms. They will also elect the country's new parliament. Voting was mostly calm, but one person was shot dead and four people arrested at a polling station in Nyankpala in the country's northern region, police and local media said. After polls closed at 1700 GMT, election teams immediately began tallying ballots under the watch of agents from political parties before sending them to collation centres. Preliminary results are expected early Sunday, with full presidential results scheduled by Tuesday. "Everyone is complaining prices are high. So I want a change, I want a good president who will bring in changes," Abdullah Mohammed, a student said after voting in Accra's Nima district. With a history of political stability, Ghana's two main parties, the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) and National Democratic Congress (NDC), have alternated in power equally since the return to multi-party democracy in 1992. Touting the slogan "Break the 8" -- a reference to going past the usual two terms in power -- the NPP hopes Bawumia can lead them to an unprecedented third term. But he struggled to break away from criticism of Akufo-Addo's economic record. "I think we have done a lot of work with our message to the people and the message has been well received," Bawumia said after voting in his northern home Walewale. A UK-educated economist and former central banker, he points to an economy turning a corner and the government's continued plans for digitalisation to ease business, as well as free education and health programmes. - Economic frustrations - But though inflation slowed from more than 50 percent to around 23 percent, and other macro-economic indicators are stabilising, the economic pain was still a clear election issue. Many Ghanaians still say they struggle with the cost of living, scarce jobs and a depreciated cedi currency. Frustration over the economy has opened the way for a comeback challenge from Mahama, who was president from 2012 to 2017 but has since failed twice in presidential bids. The NDC flag-bearer says he will "reset" Ghana and introduce a "24-hour economy", extending industrial hours to create jobs, and also renegotiate parts of the IMF deal. "Other elections have not been as obvious," Mahama said voting in his northern hometown. "With this one, everybody can tell the direction because of the abysmal performance of the Akufo-Addo-Bawumia government." Some analysts gave him an edge because of voter dismay with NPP, but the former president faced criticism from those who remember financial woes and massive power cuts during his time in office. Shoe saleswoman Esther Adobea said the economic situation hurt, but she was willing to give Bawumia a chance to make things better. "I can see he can handle the country for us. Our economy is not good, but he can do better," she said. Both major candidates are from the north of the country -- traditionally an NDC stronghold, but now more fragmented -- making the region a key battleground. While the economy was key, Ghana also faces an increasing risk of spillover in its northern regions from jihadist conflicts in Niger and Burkina Faso, where military juntas rule. The spread of illegal gold mining also became an election issue. Akufo-Addo promised to stop illegal mining, but it has expanded, poisoning riverways and impacting cacao farmlands -- a major source of export income. bur-pma/jm

Representative image NEW DELHI: Retail sales of vehicles across categories in India grew 11.2% at 32,08,719 units in Nov, as compared to 28,85,317 units in same month last year, riding on two-wheeler demand, Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) said in Monday. Retail sales of two-wheelers were at 26,15,953 units last month compared to 22,58,970 units in Nov 2023, a growth of 15.8% buoyed by the festive spillover. On the other hand, passenger vehicle (PV) retail was down 13.7% at 3,21,943 units, as against 3,73,140 units in the year-ago month. The PV segment faced notable headwinds, FADA said. "While Nov was initially expected to build on prior momentum, particularly due to marriage season, dealer feedback suggests this segment underperformed expectations," FADA president C S Vigneshwar said. "Although rural markets offered some support, in the two-wheeler category, marriage-related sales remained subdued." On PV retail, he said, "dealers cited weak sentiment, limited product variety and insufficient new launches for weak performance." Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

JERUSALEM — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen on Thursday targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital and multiple ports, while the World Health Organization's director-general said the bombardment occurred nearby as he prepared to board a flight in Sanaa, with a crew member injured. "The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged," Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media. He added that he and U.N. colleagues were safe. "We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave," he said, without mentioning the source of the bombardment. U.N. spokesperson Stephanie Tremblay later said the injured person was with the U.N. Humanitarian Air Service. Israel's army later told The Associated Press it wasn't aware that the WHO chief or delegation were at the location in Yemen. Smoke rises Thursday from the area around the International Airport after an airstrike in Sanaa, Yemen. The Israeli strikes followed several days of Houthi launches setting off sirens in Israel. The Israeli military said in a statement it attacked infrastructure used by the Iran-backed Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa and ports in Hodeida, Al-Salif and Ras Qantib, along with power stations, claiming they were used to smuggle in Iranian weapons and for the entry of senior Iranian officials. Israel's military added it had "capabilities to strike very far from Israel's territory — precisely, powerfully, and repetitively." The strikes, carried out more than 1,000 miles from Jerusalem, came a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "the Houthis, too, will learn what Hamas and Hezbollah and Assad's regime and others learned" as his military has battled those more powerful proxies of Iran. The Houthi-controlled satellite channel al-Masirah reported multiple deaths and showed broken windows, collapsed ceilings and a bloodstained floor and vehicle. Iran's foreign ministry condemned the strikes. The U.S. military also targeted the Houthis in recent days. The U.N. says the targeted ports are important entryways for humanitarian aid for Yemen, the poorest Arab nation that plunged into a civil war in 2014. Over the weekend, 16 people were wounded when a Houthi missile hit a playground in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, while other missiles and drones were shot down. Last week, Israeli jets struck Sanaa and Hodeida, killing nine people, calling it a response to previous Houthi attacks. The Houthis also have been targeting shipping on the Red Sea corridor, calling it solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The U.N. Security Council has an emergency meeting Monday in response to an Israeli request that it condemn the Houthi attacks and Iran for supplying them weapons. Relatives and friends mourn over the bodies of five Palestinian journalists Thursday who were killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza City at the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike killed five Palestinian journalists outside a hospital in Gaza overnight, the territory's Health Ministry said. The strike hit a car outside Al-Awda Hospital in the built-up Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. The journalists worked for local news outlet Al-Quds Today, a television channel affiliated with the Islamic Jihad militant group. Islamic Jihad is a smaller and more extreme ally of Hamas and took part in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in southern Israel that ignited the war. Israel's military identified four of the men as combat propagandists and said that intelligence, including a list of Islamic Jihad operatives found by soldiers in Gaza, confirmed that all five were affiliated with the group. Associated Press footage showed the incinerated shell of a van, with press markings visible on the back doors. The Committee to Protect Journalists says more than 130 Palestinian reporters have been killed since the start of the war. Israel hasn't allowed foreign reporters to enter Gaza except on military embeds. Israel banned the pan-Arab Al Jazeera network and accuses six of its Gaza reporters of being militants. The Qatar-based broadcaster denies the allegations and accuses Israel of trying to silence its war coverage, which has focused heavily on civilian casualties from Israeli military operations. Mourners cry Thursday while they take the last look at the body of a relative, one of eight Palestinians killed, during their funeral in the West Bank city of Tulkarem. Separately, Israel's military said a 35-year-old reserve soldier was killed during fighting in central Gaza. A total of 389 soldiers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the ground operation. The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed across the border, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting about 250. About 100 hostages are still inside Gaza, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead. Israel's air and ground offensive has killed more than 45,000 Palestinians, according to the Health Ministry. It says more than half the fatalities are women and children, but doesn't say how many of the dead were fighters. The offensive caused widespread destruction and hunger and drove around 90% of the population of 2.3 million from their homes. Hundreds of thousands are packed into squalid camps along the coast, with little protection from the cold, wet winter. Also Thursday, people mourned eight Palestinians killed by Israeli military operations in and around Tulkarem in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. The Israeli military said it opened fire after militants attacked soldiers, and it was aware of uninvolved civilians who were harmed in the raid.
