Shark PowerDetect Nevertouch Pro Review - Vacuum Wars!

What We Loved

• Airflow (CFM)
  Reviewer notes “slightly above-average airflow on max power.”
• Cleaning performance on hard floors
  Picked up everything on hard floors with no issues.
• Dust-bin emptying
  Bagless auto-empty design—no disposable bag required.
• Edge-cleaning effectiveness
  Edge Detect tech blows debris into its path; called “pretty unique.”
• Mopping performance (robotic or wet-dry)
  Better-than-average dried-stain score (116 vs 101 avg).
• Pet-hair pickup efficiency
  Collected 86 % of pet hair, above average in the new test.
• Self-cleaning mop function
  Dock washes the mop pad, then dries it with a blower and refills the tank.

Just Okay

• Cleaning performance on carpet
  Carpet deep-cleaning scores were described as average.
• Crevice‑cleaning effectiveness
  Crevice pickup scores were said to be average.
• Mapping/navigation accuracy (robotics)
  Coverage decent but navigation efficiency below average and slow.
• Obstacle & cliff avoidance (robots)
  Scored 14/22 in obstacle avoidance—around the category average.
• Odor control / carbon-filter effectiveness
  Uses Shark odor-neutralizing cartridges; uniqueness noted without clear verdict.
• Self-emptying base
  Auto-empty bin works but lacks heated water/air or self-cleaning tray.

Needs Improvement

• Battery runtime / Charging time
  Battery life “not good at all,” among worst scores seen.
• Mobile-app functionality & reliability
  App called “out-of-date” and missing many common features.
