Shark says the PowerDetect UV Reveal is the first robot engineered with UV light to detect invisible stains, and that is the reason to choose it. UV Stain Detect shows messes such as pet urine and sweat, and HyperSonic Mopping scrubs 100 times per minute, which Shark rates at 7x the scrubbing power of the RV2820ZE NeverTouch Pro. NeuroNav AI maps the home with RGB sensors, lasers and an UltraRange Camera, and the base removes 99.99% of bacteria from the mop pad. Costco's listing adds that the base washes the pad with 185°F water, dries it with 175°F air, and gives up to 60 days of hands-free use, with up to 3 hours of runtime. SharkNinja sold the Luxe Collection finish for $749.99 when we checked. It ranks last on our weighting because it costs $200 more than the NeverTouch Pro on Shark's store and carries a shorter 2-year warranty.
