no lights, no charging on the dock. Tried the reset dance, tried different plugs, all the usual hopeful fiddling. Nothing.
Contacting support felt like a second job. They were polite, but firm: the unit was just out of warranty and the answer was “pay for repair”. I asked if they could do something sensible — trade-in, discount, match a sale price, anything for a repeat failure after a repair — and got little more than a “buy another and we’ll throw in a roller brush”. That felt a bit weak. Especially because I already own more than one of their units, so loyalty didn’t seem to count for much.
So yes, when it spins and vacuums it’s great. When it dies, you end up spending days on logistics: posting, waiting, remapping, phone calls. The delivery guy and initial delivery were fine, the hardware when functional is good, but the customer service route for repeat problems? Not great. I wanted someone to acknowledge that twice is more than coincidence and offer a proper fix or replacement. Instead: pay again.
Would I still recommend it? With reservations. If you’re lucky and it behaves, you’ll love the time saved. If not, be prepared for some bureaucracy and a bit of soul searching about whether to pay for another repair or cut your losses.Halfway through, mug in hand
quiet, seemed to do the job, floors looked better and I thought, right, job done. I started using it straight away and was actually pleasantly surprised for a few weeks. Then little hiccups began: charging pads gathering nastiness, a bit of corrosion; I cleaned it, it worked again, then the same song repeated a few times over the year. We only ever used the official rollers, pads and solution, followed the maintenance notes to the letter, so it felt like banging my head against a wall.
The proper kicker was customer support. After trying everything and documenting the fault in the app, I reached out — only to be told help wasn’t possible because I contacted them 17 days after the warranty ended, even though the problem clearly started during the warranty. Different people said different things about repairs, so there was a fair bit of back-and-forth and not much resolution. In the end we reverted to the old-fashioned hoover and mop, which is fine but a bit galling for the price. Annoying, disappointing — and the service left me feeling like I’d been fobbed off. Wouldn’t recommend without checking how stubborn their support actually is.Two brilliant robovacs, disappointing backup
the Freo Z Ultra itself feels properly clever. It’s compact, not noisy, and actually gets into corners I didn’t expect it to. Using it day-to-day is easy — you set it up, it maps the space, and you pretty much forget about it until you need to empty the bin or change a brush. We bought two because lugging one base and unit between floors was getting old, so having a second machine downstairs felt like an obvious little upgrade to life. There’s a satisfying bit of tech-whirr when it docks, and the sensors seem sensible; it doesn’t smash into things or panic on thresholds. Little surprise moments: it even managed to avoid the dog’s food bowl, which I didn’t think would happen.
Turning point at last
forms, IDs, repeat details, "please confirm" after "please confirm", you know the sort of thing. I’d had worse run-arounds with other firms before, but usually someone at least admits a mistake and gets on with it. This time, after endless back-and-forths and rising irritation, a technician actually turned up, looked at the leak, and said straight away what needed doing. That instant, when he popped the filter out and pointed to a cracked seal, I relaxed. It wasn't fixed yet, but I knew it would be — that was the moment I felt satisfied, properly satisfied, and not just pretending to be calm.
The rest was pleasantly straightforward: parts ordered, a short wait, and a booking that was honoured — no cancelling on me, no gaslighting, just someone doing the job. I’m not pretending it was perfect; the earlier stages were tedious and I lost patience a few times. But the outcome mattered. They honoured the service, charged reasonably, and the machine now works as it should. I’d recommend keeping notes of every call and being persistent, that helped me. Slightly annoyed I had to waste time, but grateful it was sorted in the end. If you’ve had dodgy experiences with other companies, you might recognise the feeling — and if you stick with it, this one can turn out alright. Not thrilled by the delays, but pleased with the repair and with how calmly the engineer handled it.
