Pros & cons
Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged NeverTouch Pro
- ✓ThermaCharged base washes mop pads in 185°F water and dries them with 175°F air, removing 99.99% of bacteria per Shark's claim
- ✓Up to 60 days of debris capacity plus a self-refilling 30-day water tank make it close to a month fully hands-free
- ✓Long 180-minute runtime and NeverStuck Charged mobility lift it over thresholds and obstacles without getting stuck
- ✓Dirt Detect, Edge Detect, Floor Detect, and Wet Edge Detect target hidden messes, and the extending sonic mop pad scrubs right up to edges
- ✓Frequently discounted to around $750, sharply undercutting other hot-water-wash robot mops
- ✗Vacuum Wars measured below-average suction (0.72 kPa) and airflow (15 CFM) for its class - raw pickup power trails similarly priced rivals
- ✗High water output during mopping can leave streaks; Vacuum Wars scored its mopping below the cheaper non-heated NeverTouch Pro and preferred that model
- ✗LiDAR-and-3D-sensor obstacle avoidance (no camera) scored slightly below the category average, and there is no multi-floor mapping
- ✗Review base is thin and scattered across retailers; the 4.2 rating and ~150 review count are honest estimates, not published totals
Roborock Qrevo Edge 2
- ✓94% embedded-sand removal on carpet in independent testing, well above the 78% category average
- ✓Mopping score roughly double the category average, among the best tested
- ✓Pet hair pickup improved to 89.5%, up from 80.5% on the original Qrevo Edge
- ✓Notably fast navigation and cleaning runs, about 16 minutes quicker than category average
- ✓176°F hot water mop washing dock with up to 65 days between manual dust emptying
- ✗Obstacle avoidance is a genuine step backward — 14/24 in testing, below both its predecessor and category average
- ✗240ml dustbin is smaller than the original Edge (325ml) and the category average (377ml), risking overflow with bulky debris
- ✗Roughly $1,300 street price puts it squarely against flagship competition
- ✗Manufacturer doesn't publish noise level or water tank capacity for this model
