Cleaning floors is one of the most time-consuming household chores. If you have pets or kids (or pets and kids), it can also be incredibly unsatisfying — the moment your floors are finally shiny, someone throws some food or runs dirt through the house, and you’re back to square one.

It’s the kind of task we really want to hand over to the robots completely, and now, we can. Shark’s new PowerDetect™ 2-in-1 robovac is an advanced system that captures more dirt with less work from you.  

Ultra-low maintenance cleaning

You’ll hardly need to touch your PowerDetect™ robot for a full month. After every clean, it will return to its base to wash and dry the mopping pad, empty debris into a 60-day-capacity bin, and automatically refill its water tank for up to 30 days. The antimicrobial mopping pads are built to prevent bacteria and mold growth, setting the pad up for your next clean. 

You can also remove some mental maintenance by creating a map of your home with no-go zones and setting a cleaning schedule.  

Detailed cleaning with EdgeDetect 

Robot cleaners have a round shape that doesn’t typically play well with edges or corners in a home. Shark solved this dilemma with a genius EdgeDetect system that blasts air to push debris from the edges into the robot’s cleaning path. When mopping, the pad is extended for up to an inch to guarantee your floors are clean-clean, not just visibly clean. 

The DirtDetect feature can sense areas that have more debris and boosts vacuuming performance, while StainDetect tracks out strains and takes additional passes to help remove the stain.

Trap odors and allergens   

Whether you have pets or not, a house filled with dust and dander can be a nightmare for allergy sufferers. The bagless base of the PowerDetect™ traps 99.97 percent of dust and allergens* to help you breathe more easily [1]. Meanwhile, the Odor Neutralizer Technology will trap odors in, keeping them out of the air to freshen up your home.

The Shark PowerDetect™ 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop with NeverTouch™ Pro Base is available now for $999.99.
