The Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro is designed for busy households with kids, pets, or allergy sufferers, providing an advanced, hands-free solution for both vacuuming and mopping. Its primary benefit is delivering comprehensive floor cleaning with minimal user intervention, thanks to its self-emptying base and intelligent navigation, though optimal performance relies on initial home mapping and routine maintenance.
2-in-1 Cleaning: Vacuums and mops simultaneously to tackle dirt, dust, and stains on various floor types.
NeverTouch Base: Automatically empties dirt and water into the base after each clean, holding up to 60 days' worth of debris, eliminating manual dustbin emptying.
PowerDetect Technology: Utilizes 5 deep cleaning technologies to detect and react to different cleaning needs, including dirt, stains, and wet edges.
NeverStuck Navigation: Advanced technology that helps the robot navigate thick rugs and other obstacles seamlessly, preventing it from getting stuck.
360º LIDAR Mapping: Creates detailed home maps for efficient and thorough cleaning paths, which can be customized via the SharkClean app.
SharkClean App Control: Allows users to create custom cleaning schedules, set up no-go zones, and monitor cleaning progress from their smartphone.
Anti-Allergen Complete Seal: Traps 99.9% of dust and allergens within the base, promoting cleaner air in your home.
Anti-Hair Wrap Technology: Actively prevents hair (including pet hair) from wrapping around the brush roll, maintaining cleaning efficiency and reducing maintenance.
Hands-Free Operation: Self-emptying base reduces interaction for up to 60 days.
Versatile Cleaning: Combines vacuuming and mopping for comprehensive floor care.
Smart Navigation: Advanced LIDAR mapping and NeverStuck technology ensure thorough coverage and avoid obstacles.
Allergy & Pet Friendly: Anti-Allergen Complete Seal and Anti-Hair Wrap tech are ideal for homes with pets or allergy concerns.
App Control: Offers extensive customization and control via the SharkClean app.
Initial Setup Time: Requires time for initial home mapping and setting up no-go zones.
Base Station Footprint: The large self-emptying base needs a dedicated space for optimal operation.
Water Management: While it self-empties, the mop water reservoir in the base will eventually need refilling or maintenance, which is not fully automated.

The Shark PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro excels in busy homes, especially those with pets or children, where frequent cleaning is a necessity. Its 2-in-1 vacuuming and mopping capability means it can tackle diverse messes, from spilled cereal to muddy paw prints, in a single pass.
Equipped with 5 deep cleaning technologies, this robot intelligently adapts to different surfaces. On carpets, it effectively lifts embedded dirt and debris, while on hard floors (like wood, tile, or laminate), it efficiently vacuums loose particles before engaging its mopping function to handle sticky messes and surface grime. The Anti-Hair Wrap tech is a significant benefit for pet owners, ensuring the brush roll remains free of tangled hair, maintaining consistent suction and reducing manual cleaning of the roller.
The NeverStuck technology allows the robot to seamlessly navigate around furniture, over area rugs, and through cluttered spaces without constant intervention. Its 360º LIDAR navigation ensures it learns your home's layout, optimizing cleaning paths for efficiency and coverage. You'll observe it methodically covering every accessible area, making sure no spot is missed.
The standout feature is the NeverTouch base, which automatically empties both the dirt bin and manages the mop water after each cleaning session. This means you can go for up to 60 days without needing to manually empty the robot's dustbin, making daily cleaning effortless. This is particularly useful for those who prefer a truly hands-off approach to floor maintenance.
Unpack and Place: Remove all packaging materials from the robot and the NeverTouch base. Place the base on a hard, level surface against a wall, ensuring at least 3 feet of clear space in front and 1 foot on either side for optimal docking.
Charge the Robot: Place the robot onto the base. It will automatically align and begin charging. For the first use, ensure it is fully charged (typically several hours).
Download SharkClean App: Download the 'SharkClean' app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network.
Initial Mapping Run: Once connected, initiate a 'Map' run from the app. The robot will explore your home to create a detailed map. Ensure all internal doors are open to allow full access.
Customize Settings: Use the app to name rooms, set up no-go zones (areas you don't want the robot to clean, e.g., pet bowls, delicate rugs), and schedule cleaning times.
Wi-Fi Connectivity: Requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for app control and smart features.
SharkClean App: Compatible with iOS and Android devices. Regular app updates ensure optimal performance and new features.
Emptying the NeverTouch Base: The base holds up to 60 days of debris. When the bag is full, the app or an indicator light will notify you. Simply remove the full bag and replace it with a new one.
Robot Filters: Regularly clean the robot's filter (located in the robot's dustbin) by tapping it over a trash can. For optimal performance, replace the filter every 6-12 months, or as needed.
Brush Roll Inspection: Periodically check the Anti-Hair Wrap brush roll for any entangled debris. While designed to prevent wraps, occasional long hairs or threads may need to be removed.
Sensors and Charging Contacts: Wipe down the robot's sensors (cliff sensors, bumper sensors) and charging contacts on both the robot and the base with a clean, dry cloth to ensure proper navigation and charging.
Mop Pad: Remove and wash the reusable mop pad after each mopping session. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching.
