What testers say about the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty

For anyone with carpet in most rooms of a small home, the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty lifted more sand from medium-pile carpet than the average robot Vacuum Wars has tested.

On one charge the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty runs for 60 minutes, about a third of the 175 minutes that other robots with an emptying station keep going. That short run is its main limit. It can recharge and pick up where it stopped, but Vacuum Wars expects a larger floor plan to take several such rounds, and with 2.48 of 5 navigation points, where 3.15 is par at that lab, it also needs longer than most to cover a room.

In the lab's crevice test it also beat the average. Its vacuuming score as a whole still lands a little below the lab's median. It also raises its own body to get over things in its path, which is rare among its peers, and crosses thresholds of 25 millimetres where their median is 20 millimetres.
