Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal 2 in 1 (RV3020XE)
Shark's UV stain spotting robot mop with a hot wash base
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal 2 in 1 (RV3020XE) worth it? Shark's most capable robot so far for pet homes, with strong pet hair pickup, the best obstacle avoidance Vacuum Wars has seen from Shark and a hot wash base. It costs $700 as of Oct 30, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
Shark's most capable robot so far for pet homes, with strong pet hair pickup, the best obstacle avoidance Vacuum Wars has seen from Shark and a hot wash base. The UV stain spotting works, but the mop uses a lot of water and floors can stay wet for half an hour. Skip it if you need multi floor maps or low furniture clearance.
Best for: pet hair and hidden stains on one floor. Skip if: you need multi floor maps.
