Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum AV2820AE

The Shark PowerDetect automatically returns to its base to recharge when the battery is low, ensuring it's always ready for the next cleaning session. This hands-free operation is convenient, as you don't need to manually dock the robot. It will resume cleaning after recharging, providing continuous cleaning coverage.

The scheduled cleaning function allows you to set specific times for the robot to clean, even when you're not home. This ensures your floors are regularly cleaned without any effort. You can customize the cleaning schedule via the app, providing flexibility and convenience for maintaining a clean home.

This robot vacuum does not have a virtual wall function. You cannot create virtual boundaries to prevent the robot from entering certain areas. This may be a limitation for those needing to restrict the robot's access to delicate areas or pet feeding zones. Consider using physical barriers instead.

The DirtDetect Technology functions as a carpet boost by automatically increasing suction power when the robot detects dirt and debris on carpets. This ensures a deeper and more thorough clean on carpets and rugs, optimizing cleaning performance on different floor types. The increased suction helps remove embedded dirt and pet hair.

The NeverStuck Technology allows the robot vacuum to detect and avoid obstacles, reducing the risk of bumping into furniture and getting stuck. It can lift itself over thresholds and navigate around objects, minimizing pre-cleaning preparation. However, it may struggle with low-profile objects, requiring some manual intervention.

The Shark PowerDetect does not have multi-floor mapping functionality. It cannot store maps of multiple floors, which may be a limitation for multi-story homes. You will need to manually move the robot and allow it to remap each floor every time you move it, which can be inconvenient.
