What reviewers found
Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged 2 in 1
- Tom's Guide: Hands on review: carpets looked clean after a full run and mopping lifted muddy paw and shoe prints. First map took about 10 min, but the robot got lost once looking for the dock and air blasts sometimes pushed debris the wrong way. No lab measurements published. Source
- Woman and Home: UK month long test: cleared test debris in 1 to 3 passes, hair did not tangle the rollers, and it reached 80% charge in about 30 min. Mapping an open plan room took about 90 min with two bin empties. Source
SwitchBot S10
- Android Authority (AA Recommended): Three weeks of daily vacuuming and mopping three times a week ran hands off when plumbed in. The bot was about an inch too wide for the tester's chair legs and about half an inch too tall for some cabinets. Source
- The Hook Up: Called it the second best mopping performance the reviewer had measured, behind the Eufy S1 Pro, but noted weak object detection and navigation and a mop roller that does not lift high enough for high pile carpet. Source
