Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum

Meet the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum—a hands-off cleaning system that combines three detection technologies to handle the mess you see and the dirt you don't. DirtDetect senses hidden debris and automatically increases suction power and cleaning passes. EdgeDetect uses targeted air blasts to pull stubborn debris from corners and edges into the cleaning path. FloorDetect recognizes surface changes and adjusts brushroll engagement for optimal performance on hardwood, tile, and carpets. The standout feature is NeverStuck Technology, which lifts and lowers the robot to navigate over thresholds, thick rugs, and obstacles that typically trap other robots. This means up to 2x more coverage compared to previous Shark models, with fewer rescue missions required. Advanced 3D Object Detection helps the robot see and avoid items both high and low to the ground, while the companion app lets you set schedules, create no-go zones, and target specific areas for spot cleaning. The XL self-empty base holds up to 60 days of dust and debris in a bagless system—no replacement bags to buy. HEPA filtration captures 99.97% of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns, while Odor Neutralizer technology keeps the base smelling fresh. At 14.44 lb, this robot fits homes with mixed flooring, pet hair challenges, and busy schedules. The trade-off for all this automation is the higher upfront cost and the space needed for the sizable charging base.
