## What reviewers found

### Dreame D30 Ultra

- Vacuum Wars (3.29 Vacuum Wars stars): Carpet deep clean score 84 (78 average), estimated 1,831 sq ft per charge, but 61% pet hair pickup, 8 of 24 obstacles avoided, and stain scores of 60 (dried) and 40 (coffee) against 108 and 94 averages. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/dreame-d30-ultra-review/)
- Fone Arena: India review of the same 25,000 Pa model: praised the 4 cm MopExtend arm, self cleaning washboard and fast charging, cleaning 120 to 140 m2 per pass in vacuum and mop mode; noted the TriCut brush is sold separately in most regions.

### Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro 2 in 1

- Vacuum Wars (3.36/5): Above average on carpet pet hair (86%) and dried stains, average on deep carpet cleaning (76%) and obstacles, below average on battery and navigation. Ranked #20 on its Top 20 list. [Source](https://vacuumwars.com/shark-powerdetect-nevertouch-pro-review)
- TechRadar: Tested the US RV2820ZE. Strong obstacle avoidance and threshold climbing and an easy app, but too much water left on wood floors, weak on fine powder in thick rugs and limited edge cleaning. No overall score published; sub scores were performance 4/5, design 4/5, app 4/5 and value 3.5/5. TechRadar gave a Performance 4/5 subscore but no overall rating. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/shark-powerdetect-robot-vacuum-and-mop-review)
- Tech Advisor: Never got stuck and handled gravy, coffee and mud stains in Stain Mode, but the extending pad did not reach corners and spot cleaning was hard to place precisely. [Source](https://www.techadvisor.com/article/2560762/shark-powerdetect-nevertouch-pro-2-in-1-robot-vacuum-review.html)
