- Status: on sale
- Best for: busy homes that want no bags to buy

- HTML version: https://robotsforthat.com/robot/shark-powerdetect-nevertouch-pro/

## Verdict

A good value for people who want a robot that empties, refills and washes its own mop without buying bags, now that it sells for $599.99 instead of $999.99. Reviewers liked its obstacle avoidance and threshold climbing but found it leaves floors very wet and stays too far from walls. Skip it if you have delicate wood floors or need strong deep carpet cleaning.

- Refills its own water and washes the mop pad
- Climbs high thresholds and rarely gets stuck
- Good carpet pet hair pickup in testing

## Cons

- Leaves floors very wet, water level not adjustable

No. The base is bagless and Shark rates it for up to 60 days of debris before you empty it.

### Is it safe on hardwood?

TechRadar found it left too much water on historic wood floors and the water level cannot be lowered in the app, so be careful with delicate wood.
