Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal specifications
The numbers that matter first, then every fact by group. As published by the maker or the shop we read it from.
Shark · on the market since March 2026 · Also sold or tested as: Shark AV3000XE (United States) source · Shark RV3020XE (United States) source · Shark RV3030XE (United States) source
Consumables: no dust bags to buy, the station collects the dust in a bin.
Mopping 2 facts
- Mop type
How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.
- flat or vibrating pad
- Mop extends to the edges
The pad slides out along a wall or a kickboard, so the last few centimetres are mopped as well.
- yes
Dock 7 facts
- Empties the dust bin
The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.
- yes
- Bagless
The dock collects dust in a bin instead of a disposable bag. No bags to buy, but you empty it yourself.
- yes
- Dust bag lasts
How long the maker says a dust bag lasts with daily use. With pets or a lot of carpet it is shorter.
- up to 60 days
- Washes the mop
The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.
- yes
- Wash temperature
How hot the dock washes the mop. Above 60 °C grease comes off, which is what keeps a mop from smelling.
- 85 °C
- Dries the mop
The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.
- yes
- Hot-air drying
Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.
- yes
Navigation and obstacles 4 facts
- Navigation
How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.
- LiDAR turret
- Obstacle avoidance
How the robot sees loose things on the floor, such as cables, socks or a pet accident. A camera with depth sensing sees more than a bumper that reacts on contact.
- AI camera
- Climbs thresholds up to
The highest threshold the robot takes, as the maker states it. Measure your own: the step into a bathroom or onto a balcony is often higher.
- 25 mm
- Climbing system for high thresholds
An extending leg or wheel that carries the robot over a high threshold. Without one it usually stops at about 2 cm.
- yes
Robot 1 fact
- Dust bin in the robot
How much dust the robot holds before you empty it. It matters less with an auto-empty dock, which empties the bin after every run.
- 380 ml
Battery 1 fact
- Runtime per charge
How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.
- 180 min
Smart features and warranty 2 facts
- Voice assistants
Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
- Alexa, Google Assistant
- Warranty
The warranty the maker gives in Germany. Consumer law here stands apart from it and can last longer.
- 2 years
