Shark's PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro is the budget entry for buyers who want a dock that handles the mop as well as the dust. After each run the robot returns to the NeverTouch Pro base, which empties debris into a bin rated for up to 60 days, refills the water tank and washes and dries the mopping pad, with up to 30 days between water top-ups. Shark lists five PowerDetect technologies that target hidden debris, stuck-on stains and edges, and NeverStuck, which lifts the robot over thresholds and raises the pad on carpet. At $549.99 when checked, down from $999.99, it is the cheapest robot here and comes with a three-year limited warranty. It ranks last because the mop is a single flat pad and Shark publishes no suction figure or wash temperature, so it trails the roller and heated-dock models on documented mopping. We compared documented features and published prices.
