Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum And Mop, RV2820YE

Verdict

This robot is a strong option if you want hands free vacuuming and mopping in one machine, especially for tile and mixed floors. It is expensive and its path can look a bit random, but quiet operation, easy app scheduling and standout mopping make it compelling for busy homes.

Pros

  • Mopping performance 3 reviews 4.7
    The PowerDetect 2-in-1 continues to shine most as a mop, reliably removing tracked-in dirt and sticky spills and, in recent testing, leaving floors looking clean and drying quickly after a run.
  • Emptying & Mess Control 2 reviews 4.5
    A self-emptying dust bin and self-washing, self-drying mop pads minimize hands-on maintenance, though the drying cycle can be noisy and not perfectly thorough.
  • Filtration / Dust Containment 1 review 4.5
    HEPA filtration in the base and sealed dust-handling reduce fine-particle emissions, making this hybrid robot suitable for homes concerned about dust and allergens.
  • Suction & Airflow 1 review 4.5
    Testing finds suction strong enough to pull in tracked in dirt and crumbs on both tile and carpets, making this robot reliable for routine debris pickup even if raw power still trails larger corded vacuums.
  • AI, Smart & App / Automation 2 reviews 4.3
    App-based controls, self-adjusting vacuum and mop settings and features like auto-lifting mop pads over carpets make this robot highly automated and easy to integrate into a routine.
  • Map & Path Efficiency (Robot Vacuums) 3 reviews 4.0
    LiDAR based navigation and Detect sensors generally give this robot efficient, non stuck pathing across rooms, though it can occasionally hesitate when encountering unrecognized or complex layouts and some users describe its pattern as a bit random even when results are thorough.
  • Obstacle Avoidance (Robot) 2 reviews 4.0
    Its obstacle-avoidance system typically does a good job steering around toys, furniture, and pet messes without frequent tangles, though it may slow or pause when it meets unexpected objects that are not yet on the map.
  • Overall opinion 2 reviews 4.0
    Overall, the PowerDetect 2 in 1 is a capable vacuum and mop combo that delivers impressive hands free cleaning, pairing strong everyday suction with standout mopping and self maintenance features, though its high price and occasional navigation quirks keep it from feeling truly top tier.
  • Price & Value 2 reviews 4.0
    Though expensive, the PowerDetect 2-in-1 offers strong vacuuming, standout mopping and hands-free features that provide good value for households that use it regularly.
  • Edge & Baseboard Cleaning (Hard Floors) 2 reviews 3.8
    Edge and corner results are somewhat mixed: the extending mop pad and targeted airflow improve coverage compared with many hybrids, but some testers still reach for a handheld tool to finish tight corners.
  • Noise level 3 reviews 3.5
    Earlier feedback highlighted relatively quiet everyday operation and a loud pad-drying cycle, but newer users also note that the vacuum itself can sound louder than other robots and may disturb light sleepers or skittish pets.
