Shark - PowerDetect™ NeverTouch Pro 2-in-1

It's okay. However app needs a lot of work and it tends to forget your map settings after a while for some reason. The robot itself works fine and is mostly like other brands, it's the app and the controllable settings that need a lot of work. No control over suction power (even though the old models had it), no option to edit the floor map without doing the whole thing over again (including carpets if you move or add any), no option to make it avoid more or less objects, etc. The app and settings are very barebones. I would say it's an okay beginner's robot vacuum if you just want a set and forget it type of experience.

I purchased mine in December 2024 and the first few times it cleaned it was great. But now it leaves dirt streaks after mopping. I change the pad constantly, clean the robot every other week and only use shark cleaning solution in the correct amount and no matter what I do there are always dirt streaks. No idea why but we mostly use the robot to vacuum and I now use my swiffer to mop. Also know we have not pets or kids so the floors pretty much stay clean so this has been very frustrating. I would recommend another brand if someone was thinking of purchasing it. Also the app is frustrating becuse it logs you out constantly, so everytime you want to use it, you need to log back in.

I just bought this fucker and they sent it straight from the manufacturer, with no Dust bins. Immediate sent it back and bought another Roomba.

I have owned the Shark Powerdetect 2 in 1 Nevertouch pro for about a month. I will admit the app needs work, but is functional. The robot hardware and software works great for both mopping and vacuuming for me.

I'm so confused by this new system. Like the Shark Never touch Pro. 116 stain 3.1 3.1 3.1 water (NEGATIVE)50?? for water test? And a total score of like 133.3 average? I know I failed math but.....

Personally, I like Shark brand the best because once you buy it, that's it. Every other brand, you have to buy replacement bags for the debris. So, the cost keeps going up, while also creating more waste. Shark's, you just empty the bin. And now that Shark has the Nevertouch Pro, it does all the same functions as any other top of the line robot vacuum.

I'm not too worried. Every brand experiences enough problems that someone won't buy it ever again, meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands with no issues. Just like any other product really.

I have used the flagships from all the main Chinese brands, but I wouldn't say that any one is, on whole, better than the Roomba J9 or C10. My main gripes with the Roomba are hair tangles on the roller spindles, lack of edge mopping, and a fast side brush that flings crumbs out of the path. Most recently I got a Roborock Saros 10 that does indeed address those issues, but it falls short in others. The Roomba scrubs dried stains more effectively and it vacuums more debris out of thick carpet. Even though hair can get tangled around the roller spindles, it actually picks up the hair off the carpet. No other brand has been able to effectively pick up hair/fur/fuzz off my carpet (I'm sure Dyson would be an exception, but it doesn't mop). The Roborock won't get close enough to my table pedestal to get the crumbs that have fallen there, which is a daily annoyance. Roomba has no trouble with this. Roomba has great integration with Google Assistant, so I can have it clean shortcuts/routines without having to take my phone out of my pocket. I haven't seen any other brand be able to do this. Roomba and Shark are the only brands that can effectively avoid dragging a wet pad across medium pile carpet. Other brands don't lift the pad high enough, and the idea of dropping off the pads is useless when you have to traverse across carpet to get to/from the place to mop. There are a lot of complaints that Roombas can't navigate in the dark. While LiDAR bots can navigate in the dark, good object avoidance still relies on cameras, which doesn't work as well in the dark anyway. So better to clean in the light anyway. So I think the Roomba c10 and the Shark Nevertouch Pro are both excellent choices that you shouldn't feel bad about. They will have annoyances, but so will anything else.

My shark powerdetect nevertouch pro was a mountain goat. It climbed our almost 1.5” tall threshold. However there are newer models from dreame and roborock that have threshold climbing features.

I might catch some flack here but if you expect to empty the base station very frequently then I would look into the shark powerdetect lineup. We had the nevertouch pro and were satisfied overall with its performance. Vacuuming it was extremely good, almost as good as our current Dyson robot. The Dyson is just slightly better on rugs/carpets with pet hair. But for larger debris and small pieces of paper the shark was better. Dirt and dust both are almost equal. The auto empty was just decent. The shark was decent enough for mopping to keep the floor maintained till we did a manual mopping but the lack of water flow control and hot air drying was disappointing. But I know the robot/app has updated so the flow control could have changed. The filter for the actual robot will need to be cleaned every 1-2 weeks because the robot vacuums really good, I can’t stress that enough. On hard floors it was as exceptional and never left a piece of cat litter in between the wood planks. Worth looking them up on vacuum wars and justadad.

Shark powerdetect was great at vacuuming. They make a vacuum only model. The narwal pro also looks promising.

Mopping most likely not. Vacuuming we enjoyed our shark powerdetect(can’t state enough how surprised I was with its hard floor performance) and our current Dyson visnav also does an exceptional job.

Our shark powerdetect nevertouch pro was amazing with cat litter. It has its flaws but that thing was a beast on hard floors for vacuuming. And the mopping was decent enough. It also has a bagless self empty design.

My shark powerdetect could get over our large double threshold that was taller than this. 90% of the time it worked.

We’ve been very happy with our Dyson. The only big issue we had was it not liking metal floor registers for the ac/heat. We replaced them with wood ones and it’s been flawless in that aspect since. The amount of hair it removes from the rugs/carpets is extremely good; we have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I should also mention that our shark powerdetect robot was also very good at removing dust/dirt from the rugs/carpets but slightly lacking in hair removal. Might be worth looking into as well.

Our shark powerdetect is amazingly good at vacuuming cat litter.

I believe it’s basically the powerdetect nevertouch pro but could be wrong. The mop pad won’t dry fast due to using cool air for drying and the obstacle avoidance isn’t that great for small items like cords. I had the nevertouch pro and returned it. But it does a good job of vacuuming and mopping. Just know the app is buggy and has little options for the robot. I have the newer thermacharged and it’s marginally better than the nevertouch pro at this point in time.

Shark Never Touch Pro 2in1 has a flat pad it wiggles side to side to mop. It also cleans and dries the mop pad.

A Mova P10 Pro Ultra for all intents and purposes is a Dreame X40/L40 flagship model vacuum at $500 right now. You can’t beat it. Can take a look at my post history for choices I narrowed down basically I felt like all the features I want in a vacuum should be included sub $600. QRevo Pro Ecovacs N30 Pro Omni Dreame L10s Pro Ultra Adding: Mova P10 Pro Ultra On paper there isn’t another vacuum on the market with the advanced features of the Mova at the price. The navigation and object avoidance alone should put it in another class. It has swinging arm swinging mop and a camera… if privacy becomes a concern for me valetudo is supported. Currently I have the N30 Pro Omni I picked up for $550 and it does a nice job cleaning however it keeps getting disconnected from my app and I have to reconnect it this wasn’t happening with the Shark Never Touch Pro although the sharks mopping performance wasn’t half as good for $200 more. If the Ecovac was more stable I’d have probably never looked into exchanging it but glad I found the Mova considering the feature set it has. I’m going to report back once it arrives to see if it lives up to the hype.
