### 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)
