Shark RV2820AE Detect Pro Self-Empty Robot Vacuum

Meet the Shark RV2820AE Detect Pro Self-Empty Robot Vacuum—a smart, autonomous cleaner that combines three detection technologies to tackle hidden dirt across your entire home. DirtDetect technology senses debris you can't see and automatically boosts suction power. EdgeDetect uses air blasts to pull stubborn debris from corners and edges into the cleaning path. FloorDetect adapts cleaning patterns based on surface type, delivering targeted performance on both carpets and hard floors. The standout feature is NeverStuck Technology, which lifts and lowers the robot to navigate over thresholds, thick rugs, and obstacles that typically trap other robot vacuums. This means 50% more coverage compared to previous Shark models, with fewer rescue missions required. The 360° LiDAR mapping creates precise floor plans for methodical cleaning, day or night, while adapting to furniture changes and daily obstacles. This robot excels in pet-owning households and busy homes with mixed flooring. The XL self-empty base holds 60 days of debris with HEPA filtration capturing 99.97% of allergens down to 0.3 microns. Odor Neutralizer technology keeps the base fresh between empties. At 14.44 lb, it's heavier than basic robots but packs serious cleaning power. The trade-off: it's a significant investment at $449.99, and like all robots, it requires occasional maintenance of brushes and sensors for peak performance.
