All robot vacuums. Every figure below is placed against the whole class, so a gap can be read against how much the class itself varies.
The conditions each robot was assessed against, side by side. Rows marked in gold are where these machines genuinely differ.
| Condition | V70 Ultra Complete | PowerDetect UV Reveal |
|---|---|---|
| Home size | ||
| Under 1,500 sqft | GoodA 6,400 mAh battery with recharge-and-resume covers a compact home comfortably. | GoodFully capable, but flagship pricing and dock footprint may exceed what compact homes require. |
| 1,500 – 3,000 | GoodMOVA lists a Smart Resume function that recharges and continues where a run stopped. | GoodIdeal target range; UV stain detection and mop retraction work well in mid-size multi-floor layouts. |
| Over 3,000they differ | DependsNo runtime or coverage figure is published, so large homes may need several recharge cycles. | GoodMulti-floor mapping and self-docking suit large homes. Single charge runtime unconfirmed; check battery specs on shipping units. |
| Primary floors | ||
| Hard floors | GoodPads spin at 300 rpm under 15 N, and Gear Diary saw them scrub dried spots rather than smear. | GoodDual-tank mop system targets hard-floor stain detection; UV feature most valuable on sealed tile, wood, vinyl. |
| Low / medium pilethey differ | GoodPads lift 10.5 mm on carpet or stay in the dock for vacuum-only runs, per Gear Diary. | DependsMop retracts on low-pile carpet, but scrubbing force is light; vacuum-on-carpet performance not yet independently tested. |
| High pile / shagthey differ | DependsA 10.5 mm lift may not clear dense pile; leave the pads in the dock for those rooms. | PoorMop retracting and wet system risk on shag carpet; non-mopping or dedicated mop models are safer choice. |
| Mopping needs | ||
| Vacuum only | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. | GoodStrong vacuum; the mop lifts or detaches when not needed. |
| Light mopping | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. | GoodActive mopping system covers routine floors easily. |
| Frequent mopping | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. | GoodPressure or rotating mop with self-wash is built for frequent mopping. |
| You want to… | ||
| Empty bin myself | GoodHands-on upkeep is light; the dock empties, washes and dries on its own. | GoodDual-tank system and UV bulb oversight fit owners who check dock weekly and manage consumables; higher effort than self-emptying vacuums. |
| Empty occasionally | GoodOwner tasks come down to water tanks every few mops and washing the reusable dust container. | GoodDock auto-washes mop pads and auto-empties dust (if auto-empty cartridge included); weekly water refill and monthly filter change is baseline mixed-effort. |
| Set-and-forgetthey differ | DependsThe 4 L and 3.5 L water tanks still need refilling and emptying by hand. | PoorDual water tanks require weekly refills; mop-wash dock motor failures require manual intervention. Set-and-forget unrealistic with this system. |
A robot being poor for a condition is a fact about fit, not a fault. “Depends” means the record names a limit worth reading, not that the answer is unknown.
Nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart.
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.
Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Suction, Runtime, Charge time, Noise, Weight.
Written on each record, and the only thing here every robot on the site carries.
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Reaching arms clean what a round robot circles around, and they add two more moving mechanisms to keep working.
Bagless emptying saves the cost of bags; the price is a loud empty cycle that Gear Diary flagged.
UV Stain Detect paired with HyperSonic scrubbing at 100 cycles per minute makes dried residue this machine’s strongest result, but Shark ships the capability only in the $1,299 robot-and-base package.
UV Stain Detect works on the first pass, including in a home the robot has never mapped, but confirming a stain is gone means a verification pass back over the same ground, so heavily soiled floors take longer to finish.
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.

| Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal | Verified | 7 | Sep 2026 |
Evidence status counts the sources behind a classification, not their kind. A high count can be maker documentation and price coverage, so read it as how much was reviewed rather than as independent testing. How we weigh evidence.
