The PowerDetect UV Reveal is the most capable Shark robot, and it would rank first if it cost less. Shark calls it the first robot built with UV light to detect invisible stains, and UV Stain Detect is aimed at messes like pet urine, sweat and dried spills that a camera would miss. When it finds one, HyperSonic Mopping scrubs with what Shark rates as 7x the scrubbing power of the RV2820ZE. Mapping moves up to NeuroNav AI, which combines RGB sensors, lasers and an UltraRange Camera, alongside 360° LiDAR and 3D sensors for obstacle avoidance. The base empties, refills and sanitizes the mop pad with thermal heat, and the robot shares the ThermaCharged's 3-hour battery and NeverStuck lifting. The version on sale when we checked is the Luxe Collection in Evergreen at $749.99. The main reasons to skip it are the $100 premium over the ThermaCharged and inconsistent technology counts across Shark's pages. We compared documented features and published prices.
