Product Information
Full details
This Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal robot vacuum is designed for busy households seeking a deeper, more hygienic clean with minimal effort. Its key benefit is the combination of powerful suction, advanced mopping, and UV light technology to detect and eliminate invisible messes and bacteria. A potential caveat is its reliance on a dedicated base station for certain functions, requiring specific placement. The robot vacuum integrates 8 PowerDetect technologies, UV Stain Detect, Dirt Detect, and HyperSonic Mopping, all managed through an automated base that sanitizes, dries, refills, and empties the unit.

FAQs
How often should I empty the base station's debris bin?
The ThermaCharged NeverTouch* Pro Base features a 60-day capacity debris bin, meaning you typically only need to empty it once every two months, depending on your home's debris levels.
Can I use any floor cleaner with this robot?
It is recommended to use only water or the specifically recommended Shark VacMop Floor Cleaner. Using other cleaning solutions may damage the robot or base station and could void your warranty.
How long does the battery last?
The robot vacuum has a battery life of up to 3 hours on a single charge, allowing it to clean substantial areas before needing to recharge.
Does the UV light sanitize the entire floor?
The UV Stain Detect feature is designed to reveal and target specific spots or areas where messes are detected. While it contributes to hygiene, it is not a full-floor sanitization treatment.
What does 'HyperSonic Mopping' mean?
HyperSonic Mopping refers to the high-frequency, rapid vibrations the mop pad makes, which mimic scrubbing motions to more effectively lift and remove tough dirt and grime from floors.
Does the base station sanitize the mop pad?
Yes, the ThermaCharged NeverTouch* Pro Base automatically sanitizes and dries the mop pad after each cleaning cycle, ensuring it's ready and hygienic for the next use.
What is included in the box?
The box typically includes the robot vacuum, charging dock, anti-microbial mop pad, side brushes, an Anti-Odour Technology Cartridge, and a 355ml bottle of Shark VacMop Floor Cleaner.
Troubleshooting
Robot not returning to the base station
Ensure the base station is properly powered and has sufficient clearance. Check for obstructions in the robot's path to the base. Clean the charging contacts on both the robot and the base.
UV light not turning on
Verify that the UV light function is enabled in the app settings. Ensure the robot is on a flat surface and not actively cleaning in a way that would prevent UV activation (e.g., if the lid is open). Contact support if the issue persists.
Mopping function not effective
Check if the water tank in the base is filled. Ensure the mop pad is correctly attached and not overly saturated or dry. Clean the mop pad or replace it if worn. Confirm the correct cleaning solution is being used.
Robot gets stuck frequently
Clear any clutter or obstacles from the robot's cleaning path. Ensure the robot's sensors are clean. Check for any new furniture or changes in the environment that might be causing navigation issues.
App connectivity issues
Ensure your Wi-Fi network is functioning correctly and the robot is within range. Restart your router and the robot. Reinstall the Shark app and try pairing again.
