## Verdict

A sensible pick if you want LiDAR mapping, a bagless self empty base and light mopping for about $300. TechRadar found it handles pet hair and edges well, but the mop is only a damp pad and the base filled in two weeks, not 60 days. Skip it if you need multi floor maps or real scrubbing.

## Pros

- Bagless base, no bags to buy
- Accurate LiDAR map in under 10 minutes
- Little hair wrap in TechRadar's month of testing
- Good edge cleaning
- Long battery life

## Cons

- Mop is a light damp pad with no tank
- Only one floor map
- Base fills far sooner than 60 days
- App can be glitchy
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only

## Specs

- suction: Shark gives no Pa rating, only "ultra powerful" suction; TechRadar lists 35 W and found it handled dust and pet hair well
- navigation: 360 degree LiDAR with Matrix Clean grid passes (Shark); TechRadar's first map was accurate and took under 10 min, but only one floor can be mapped
- obstacle avoidance: Shark says it detects and avoids objects day or night; TechRadar saw it avoid obstacles reliably and never get stuck
- mopping: Yes, Sonic Mopping pad that Shark says scrubs 100 times per minute; no water reservoir per TechRadar, which rated mopping average and best for light cleaning
- self empty: Yes, bagless XL HEPA base that Shark rates for up to 60 days; TechRadar found it lasted about two weeks
- dock features: Auto empty and charging only, with True HEPA filtration (Shark); no mop washing or water refill
- runtime: Up to 110 min (Shark); TechRadar measured about 85 to 110 min depending on power mode
- dustbin: 0.2 qt robot cup (Shark); TechRadar lists 0.24 qt onboard and 1.9 qt in the base
- height: Not confirmed. TechRadar lists 5.69 in and T3 lists 14.5 cm; Shark's page gives only robot plus base dimensions
- pet hair: Self cleaning brushroll (Shark); TechRadar found only a few hairs wrapped after a month with two dogs
- app: SharkClean app with mapping, schedules, carpet and no go zones; TechRadar rated it 3/5, found it glitchy and says it needs 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
- noise: Shark rates 69.4 dB (per TechRadar); TechRadar measured 46 dB in low power, and emptying is much louder

## Safety

- company status: Active
- warranty: 1 year limited, 2 years on parts (SharkNinja US store)
