The new PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro 2-in-1 tilts up so the mop won’t smear mom’s spaghetti all over the carpet.

SharkNinja has a new 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that picks itself up over rugs, high-pile carpet, and other obstacles to both prevent the transfer of wet messes and to help get out of situations where it might get stuck. The lift tilts the robot up to 20mm, which is amongst the highest alongside the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra. But SharkNinja claims no other robot vacuum on the market is designed to lift the entire robot.
Boldly called the PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro with “NeverStuck” technology, SharkNinja claims its robot vacuum and mop 2-in-1 will, well, never get stuck. And, along with its included Pro Base auto-empty station, you won’t need to touch it for up to 30 days.
It takes about a month for the station’s cleaning solution tank to need a top-up after the robot’s repeated auto-refills and cleaning cycles. The station also collects dirt from the robot for up to 45 days, and there’s no bag you need to purchase, just remove the bin, empty, wash, and reinstall.
The NeverTouch Pro uses lidar for mapping and navigation, and SharkNinja says it can also sense dirt and will increase vacuum power to grab more. It has an EdgeDetect function that can move its mop over and wipe up to the kickboards, and it uses a blast of air to get debris out of both edges and corners and into the vacuum.
The robot can also sense stains on hard floors, and will run its mop a few times more to try and clean spots. During its mopping cycle, when it lifts itself over rugs, it won’t vacuum the rug — but it will later go drop off the mop to the station and come back to finish the job.
For those who prefer chores but still don’t like cleaning bins, SharkNinja has a new stick vacuum with its own auto-empty ability, too. The new PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Vacuum boosts suction when it detects more dirt and when met with corners and edges.
But its neater trick is its “DuoClean Detect” nozzle that picks up dirt and debris in both forward and reverse motions while also resisting human hair getting wrapped up. It also has an articulating stick to get under furniture easily, and it can fold further to stand up by itself without needing to be placed back in the charge station.
You can buy the PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro ($999.99) and the Cordless Vacuum ($499.99) at sharkclean.com today. Later this fall, both will be available at retail stores, including Best Buy and Walmart, and on Amazon.
