What testers say about the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged

The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged is the PowerDetect with a heated base: its NeverTouch Pro base washes the mop in 185 °F water and dries it with hot air, empties the robot into a 60-day bin and refills its water tank for up to 30 days. The robot leaves the mop in the base for vacuum-only runs and picks it up by itself when it has to mop, lifts itself over obstacles (NeverStuck Charged) and extends the mop up to 1 inch towards edges. Shark rates the battery at 180 minutes, and the robot's bin holds 380 milliliters.

Tom's Guide calls it one of the best robot vacuums there is and pretty much self-sufficient. Carpets came out fresh, with no debris left after a full clean even with a dog bringing in dirt and leaves from the garden, and the mopping left hard floors sparkling. It mapped the house in about 10 minutes, accurately enough to need no corrections, the self-emptying comes with an anti-odor cartridge, and the reviewer never had to touch the base or the bin.

The drawbacks: the power cord is short, which limits where the base can go, the air blasts at the edges sometimes pushed debris the wrong way, and the robot occasionally got lost, once reporting itself at the base while it sat in the dining room. The app offers no choice of the number of passes and no trace of where the robot has been, and the base is large. For a home that wants a robot to run on a schedule without being touched, it is among the most self-sufficient Sharks, at a high price.

Climbs thresholds up to1 in

Runtime per charge180 min

Wash temperature185 °F

Consumables: no dust bags to buy, the station collects the dust in a bin.

Dimensionsrobot and dock

From the published dimensions. The dock needs a spot 18.8 in wide and 14.3 in deep.

Suction and brushes 1 fact

Dirt detection A sensor notices where more dirt lies, at the doormat for example, and the robot cleans that patch longer or a second time.: yes

Mopping 3 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 baseboard, so the last few inches are mopped as well.: yes
Automatic mop detach The robot leaves the mop at the dock before it vacuums a carpet, so the carpet never gets wet.: yes

Dock 8 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 140 °F (60 °C) grease comes off, which is what keeps a mop from smelling.: 185 °F (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
Dock size (w × d × h) The width, depth and height of the dock. Measure the spot you have in mind, and leave room for the lid and for the robot driving in.: 18.8 × 14.3 × 17.6 in (47.8 × 36.4 × 44.6 cm)

Navigation and obstacles 2 facts

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.: 1 in (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 0.8 in (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 a self-emptying 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

Warranty The warranty the maker gives in the United States.: 2 years
Scheduled runs You set days and times, and the robot starts by itself, also when you are not at home.: yes
