Shark's new robovac has a UV light to make your grubby floors glow — before scrubbing them clean again
Shark has launched its latest flagship cleaning device, the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum and Mop, featuring innovative “Bio-Glow” ultraviolet light technology designed to reveal hidden dirt and stains on floors. This system illuminates organic matter and grime that are typically invisible to the naked eye, allowing the robot’s sensors to identify areas requiring intensive cleaning before deploying its scrubbing mechanisms to remove them effectively.
The robot is equipped with an advanced suite of sensor technologies to optimize cleaning efficiency across various surfaces. Its PowerDetect sensors can identify high-traffic zones, hidden pet hair, and floor types to adjust suction power and water flow automatically. Additionally, the device incorporates “NeverStuck” technology, which enables it to lift its mopping pads and navigate over rugs or uneven thresholds, preventing the common issue of robot vacuums becoming trapped or stalling during a cycle.
Completing the system is a multi-functional self-emptying base that handles both debris disposal and mop maintenance. The base can store up to 60 days of dust and features a self-drying system for the mop pads to prevent odor and bacterial growth. Priced at $849.99, the Shark PowerDetect positions itself as a competitive alternative to high-end models from brands like Dyson and Roborock, offering a high degree of automation and specialized detection for a more thorough domestic cleaning experience.
