Published

on

VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — MiniTool has just announced the release of MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9, which delivers an optimized Data Recovery feature and streamless purchasing experience. Let’s dive into what these improvements are all about.

New changes in MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9

This new update focuses on optimizing the Data Recovery feature and streamlining the purchasing process, including the following improvements:

Improved File Previewing Experience in Data Recovery

Supports for audio & video Preview: After installing this update, users can preview most types of videos and audio files, such as “mkv”, “webm”, “mts”, “flv”, “3gp”, “mp3”, “mp4”, “m4a”, “avi”, “wav”, “wma”, “m4b”, “aif”, “mid”, “ogg”, “rm”, “ram”, “rmvb”, “mov”, and more. This is helpful for users who want to quickly and accurately find the needed videos and audio files.

Additionally, MiniTool has enhanced the loading speed of video and audio previews, which can more efficiently confirm the accuracy of recovered files.

Allows saving files in the preview interface: While previewing the selected files, users can directly click the “Save” button on the preview interface to save that file if it is the desired one. This makes the data recovery process much easier.

Enhanced picture and document preview effects: In MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9, users can zoom in or out on pictures and documents using the Ctrl + Up/Down arrow keys while previewing. This can help users find the files they need to recover more precisely.

Enhanced RAW Data Recovery

Added more raw data recovery types: Users now can find more types of files under the “RAW Files” path in the scanning result window, including “dwg”, “dxf”, “ico”, “mp3”, “swf”, “vob”, “mkv”, “webm”, and “webp”, etc. It boosts users’ confidence in recovering deleted files when the file system cannot be found.

Improved raw scanning efficiency: The RAW scanning in the Data Recovery feature has been enhanced for files like Office 2007 Excel, PowerPoint, and Word documents, as well as M2TS, MTS, RM, and RMVB video files, to improve the precision of data recovery.

Optimized the Filter Result Displaying Interface

This update optimized the display of data filtering results, giving users a clear understanding of the results. So, users can enjoy a better data recovery experience.

Fixed Some Issues

MiniTool has been paying attention to users’ feedback and solving the problems users encountered with the software. For example, MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9 addressed the issues of the preview information not being refreshed when clicking the size, creation date, and modification date in the scan result window.

Streamlined the Purchasing Experience

MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9 gives users an easier purchasing experience than its previous version. It simplifies the purchasing window so that users can choose the needed edition quickly.

Core Highlights of MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9

MiniTool Partition Wizard is a piece of feature-rich disk partition software that offers comprehensive solutions for disk and partition management. With this tool, users can partition hard drive, migrate Windows OS to SSD/HDD, clone hard drive, change cluster size, rebuild MBR, convert MBR to GPT without data loss, recover lost or deleted files, etc.

As an all-in-one disk and partition manager, MiniTool Partition Wizard 12.9 provides expert solutions to help users fix various issues related to partitions and disks. Let’s explore some of its core highlights.

Partition Hard Drive

MiniTool Partition Wizard offers many targeted solutions to partition hard drives on Windows, such as Extend Partition, Format Partition, Align Partition, etc. These features break through some limitations of the Windows partition tools, like Disk Management and DiskPart.

For example, users can extend a partition to a non-contiguous unallocated space when the “Extend Volume option is greyed out” in Disk Management, format a USB larger than 32GB to FAT32/exFAT, or do other partition-related work.

Disk Clone & OS Migration

The Disk Copy and Migrate OS to SSD/HD features provide seamless and expert hard disk cloning and Windows OS migration processes. Both features help users easily copy all content from HDD to SSD especially when they need to upgrade to SSD or replace a faulty hard drive.

The OS migration feature allows users to transfer the Windows operating system from one disk to another one without reinstalling the OS. Additionally, this feature can copy a disk larger than 2TB using the GUID Partition Table, which is a good choice for those who want to clone MRB to a GPT disk.

Effective Data Recovery

The Data Recovery feature helps users recover files from formatted hard drive or many other storage media on Windows. Another powerful feature is Partition Recovery, which enables users to directly recover complete partitions on a disk.

One of the most attractive points is that users can restore data whether they removed it from the Desktop, Recycle Bin, or even specified folders. MiniTool also designed the filter and preview tools to help users find their desired files quickly.

Disk Benchmark & Diagnosing

MiniTool Partition Wizard provides users with practical functions to benchmark and diagnose their storage devices. The Disk Benchmark feature helps users compare their disk read/write speeds to make a good choice. If users suspect their disk is faulty, the Surface Test feature helps check bad sectors and the Check File System feature helps repair logical errors on the disk.

MiniTool Software Limited (MiniTool) is an expert software development company that has been sparing no effort to provide disk/partition management and data recovery solutions. It was established in 2009 and has broadened its range of products to many fields over the years, including data backup, disk cloning, video editor, video converter, and more.

Narwal Launches New Freo 20, Bringing Flagship Real-Time Self-Cleaning Mopping to More Homes with a Distinctive Woven-Textured Finish

The Freo 20 Combines FlowWash Mopping System and Industry-First Dock Design with a Limited-Time Launch Price of $899.99, Marking the Strategic Adjustment of Its Classic Freo Series

NEW YORK, Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Narwal, a global leader in smart home cleaning, today announced the launch of Narwal Freo 20, the first Freo Series model equipped with Narwal’s FlowWash Mopping System. Marking a strategic evolution of the Freo lineup, Freo 20 brings Narwal’s flagship-level mopping innovation to a broader consumer audience. Combining advanced cleaning performance with AI-powered obstacle avoidance and the market’s only woven-texture base station design, Freo 20 continues the Freo series’ commitment to delivering intelligent cleaning solutions for diverse household needs while expanding access to Narwal’s latest innovations.

Freo 20: At a Glance

Flagship-Grade Real-Time Self-Cleaning: Premium FlowWash Mopping System continuously washes the flattened roller mop mid-cycle, instantly extracting dirt to prevent cross-contamination and eliminate water marks.Advanced Onboard AI and Camera System: Dual RGB cameras and AI processing help identify 300+ household objects and navigate efficiently.Smart Whole-Home Coverage: Supported by flagship-level 31,000 Pa suction power, the DualFlow Tangle-Free System and EdgeReach Technology target homes with long hair and pets to deliver a deep clean in hard-to-reach areasWoven-Texture Dock Design: A fabric-inspired design blends naturally into modern homes.

“The new gold standard in home robotics is a clean that happens entirely in the background,” said Junbin Zhang, CEO of Narwal. “The Narwal Freo 20 marks an important step in the evolution of our Freo series, introducing our advanced self-cleaning technology and new refined aesthetic to a broader range of consumers. We’re proving that forward-thinking innovation is no longer exclusive to flagship models, but a new standard for everyday homes.”

Flagship-Grade FlowWash Mopping System

As Narwal’s foundational robot vacuum lineup, the Freo series has been built around addressing diverse household cleaning needs across different price points through advanced technologies and tailored cleaning experiences. The Freo 20 brings Narwal’s flagship FlowWash Mopping System into this classic lineup for the first time, while making it significantly more affordable to all consumers.

When the robot’s cameras detect areas that need mopping, the flattened roller mop, or track mop, automatically engages with 12 N of downward pressure, rotating against the direction of movement to maximize scrubbing power and effectively remove stubborn stains and dirt. During cleaning, 140°F fresh water is sprayed on the mop through 16 nozzles for thorough cleaning, while a built-in scraper and high-pressure air pump instantly extract residual dirt into a separate tank. This real-time self-cleaning system can significantly keep the mop hygienic throughout each task, rather than spreading dirt as most traditional spinning mops do. Compared with standard roller mops, its flattened design provides more even pressure across a contact area seven times larger[1], while reducing hair tangles and minimizing maintenance.

The production of this advanced mop demands ensuring the stable coordination of the two internal axes that work together to keep the flattened roller mop consistently tensioned and rotating smoothly. Narwal’s research team successfully overcame these challenges, bringing the technology to the Freo 20 and making it more accessible compared with the brand’s flagship models.

Intelligent Technology for Whole-Home Cleaning

Powered by the NarMind™ Pro Autonomous System, the Freo 20 identifies and maneuvers around over 300 household objects. The TwinAI Dodge™ technology delivers 99%[2] obstacle-avoidance accuracy for a completely uninterrupted clean. Beyond basic navigation, the system introduces intuitive, family-first features. Pet Care Mode dynamically adjusts cleaning around pet zones and offers interactive video monitoring, while Baby Care Mode recognizes cribs and toys to trigger quiet, low-noise cleaning that protects your child’s rest.

Combined with the intelligent navigation, Freo 20 delivers comprehensive whole-home cleaning with flagship-level 31,000 Pa suction power, an SGS-certified DualFlow Tangle-Free System to prevent hair tangles, and EdgeReach Technology to clean hard-to-reach corners and edges.

Effortless Experience and Refined Design

Designed to naturally integrate into modern interiors, the Freo 20 reimagines the All-in-One Multifunctional Dock to capture the essence of modern aesthetics. Showcasing an upscale woven design, this new fabric-inspired exterior seamlessly blends with fabric furniture and wood textures while softening sharp stone elements to deliver an elegant look that matches its flagship performance.

Beyond its premium design, the dock minimizes manual maintenance with a thorough four-stage cleaning process that culminates in a high-temperature wash up to 212°F to hygienically clean the entire internal pathway. It then uses 140°F hot-air drying to quickly remove moisture and prevent damp odors. The quieter auto-emptying system combined with a 2.4 L bag enables up to 120 days of completely hands-off, maintenance-free operation.

The Future of the Freo Series

Building on a legacy of highly effective smart home cleaning, the Freo series is experiencing a strategic evolution. While previously dedicated to providing diverse combinations of cleaning solutions and price points, the lineup will focus on delivering more accessible choices with the same premium and high-quality standards, leading with the Freo 20.

Pricing and Availability

The Narwal Freo 20 will be officially available in the U.S. on August 20, 2026, on the official website and at Amazon.

MSRP: $1099.99Launch Price: $899.99 (Limited-time offer. Available from August 20 to September 3).
