Shark ThermaCharged PowerDetect Wet & Dry Robot Vacuum in Black

What sets this Shark apart from most robot vacuums — and even most robot mop combos — is the heated cleaning base. After every run, the mop pads are washed at 85°C and dried with 80°C air, which means you're not leaving a damp, bacteria-harbouring pad sitting until the next clean. For anyone who's tried cheaper wet-dry robots and noticed the musty smell after a week, this is the specific problem Shark has engineered around. Add automatic debris disposal and PowerDetect obstacle sensing, and this is a machine designed to genuinely reduce how often you need to intervene — not just claim it.

Who Is This For?

This suits someone with a mix of hard floors and low-pile rugs across a mid-to-large home, who wants hands-off maintenance for days at a time and won't baulk at a premium price to get it. Pet owners dealing with hair and tracked-in dirt will find the combination of strong suction and hygienic mop-drying particularly worthwhile. If you're after a basic vac-only robot for a small flat, you can get genuinely solid results for a third of this price — have a look at our best robot vacuum deals or best robot vacuum mop combo deals for alternatives at different budgets.

What Buyers Say

Owners consistently praise the mop hygiene system as the standout feature — the fact that floors actually smell clean rather than just looking swept is a recurring point. The PowerDetect navigation earns credit for handling chair legs and thresholds without constant supervision. The most common frustration is the initial setup and app connectivity, which several users report takes longer than expected to stabilise, and the dock footprint is notably large for smaller hallways.

The Deal

At £499.99 against a listed was-price of £899.99, that's £400 off — 44% — which is a substantial reduction on a flagship-tier machine. Because this product is newly tracked on The Daily Find, we can't yet confirm how frequently it hits this price or whether it has dipped lower elsewhere, so treat the was-price with appropriate caution. That said, £499.99 for a heated-mop, self-cleaning robot with auto-disposal is competitive in this category. A solid deal — just don't assume the full £900 price ever stuck for long.
