Shark Sells 8 Robot Vacuums; Mop Washing Starts at Stratos

SharkNinja’s US store lists eight Shark robot vacuums: two that only vacuum, two that mop with a base that only empties, and four whose base also washes the mop pad, two of them with heated water. Every one comes with a self-emptying base, and the UV Reveal is the only one whose page names a camera.

How to read the names

The family name says less than the mop and the base. Navigator and Matrix are each sold as a vacuum-only robot and as a 2-in-1 that mops. PowerDetect is Shark’s label for the three top robots, NeverTouch is its name for a base that empties, refills and washes, and ThermaCharged means that wash is heated. The Stratos uses a NeverTouch base without the PowerDetect label.

Within the vacuum-only pair, the differences Shark states are the mapping and the base. The Navigator (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) uses spot LiDAR and cleans row by row; the Matrix uses 360° LiDAR and what Shark calls Matrix Clean, a grid of multiple passes, with a base rated for 45 days of debris rather than 60.

Mops: who washes the pad

Four of the six mopping robots have a base that washes the pad; the Navigator 2-in-1 and Matrix Plus leave that to you. Their pages describe a base that empties, where the Stratos (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) and NeverTouch Pro pages, in the same list, say the base washes and dries the pad.

Rugs are the other split. The Stratos and the three PowerDetect robots lift the mop: Shark says Autolift keeps the Stratos mop “off rugs and carpets”, and NeverStuck does the same on the PowerDetect models, lifting the ThermaCharged’s mop “up to 2x higher” than a Dreame X40 Ultra. The Navigator 2-in-1 instead uses Floor Detect, which “adjusts suction to keep carpets and rugs dry by vacuuming only”. The Matrix Plus page names no lift; it lets you set carpet zones in the app.

How robot mop types differ sets out what pads, spinning pads and rollers ask of you across makers; here the point is only which Shark has which.

Obstacles and navigation

All eight pages name LiDAR or lasers, and four (the Navigator, Matrix, Matrix Plus and Stratos) say the robot detects and avoids objects. The Navigator 2-in-1’s page describes 360° LiDAR mapping but does not mention avoiding objects, where the cheaper Navigator’s does. The UV Reveal is the only one whose page names a camera: NeuroNav AI, which Shark says uses RGB sensors, lasers and an UltraRange Camera, plus UV Stain Detect, a UV light for dried spills.

These are Shark’s descriptions, not test results.

Suction and run time: read the footnotes

No Shark page gives suction in pascals or air watts, and the comparisons it does make use different baselines. The Navigator claims up to 50% more suction than an iRobot Combo Essential; the Stratos twice a Roomba i5 Combo’s, measured to ASTM F558 at the nozzle. The Navigator 2-in-1’s “4X stronger pickup” is footnoted “in Eco mode vs. Normal mode”, a comparison with itself.

Run time has the same problem. Shark’s spec lists and its own comparison table disagree on two models: the Matrix lists 90 minutes but the table says up to 2 hours, and the UV Reveal (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) lists 180 minutes against the table’s 2 hours, footnoted “in dry mode on hard floors”. The ThermaCharged is 180 in both.

Warranties differ too, and not by price: the NeverTouch Pro lists three years, the ThermaCharged and UV Reveal two, and the other five one.

Who each one suits, by the specs

• Vacuuming only: the Navigator or Matrix; the Matrix lists 360° LiDAR and grid cleaning, the Navigator a 60-day base.
• Light mopping, and you will rinse the pad: the Navigator 2-in-1, or the Matrix Plus if it is back in stock.
• Mopping without touching the pad: the Stratos or NeverTouch Pro.
• Heated pad washing, or a camera: the ThermaCharged for the first, the UV Reveal for both.

What robot vacuums get you at each price sets Roborock, iRobot and eufy models against each other and left Shark out; the Roomba lineup is sorted the same way as this page. How robot vacuums fare with reviewers is in our roundup of robot vacuum reviews.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between Shark Matrix and Navigator robots?

Both are vacuum-only robots with a self-emptying base. Shark says the Matrix uses 360° LiDAR and cleans in a grid of multiple passes, with a 45-day base; the Navigator uses spot LiDAR, cleans row by row and has a 60-day base. Their 2-in-1 versions add a mop pad.

Which Shark robot washes its own mop?

Four do, by Shark’s pages: the Stratos, the PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro, the PowerDetect ThermaCharged and the PowerDetect UV Reveal. The last two use heated water; Shark gives 185°F for the ThermaCharged. The Navigator 2-in-1 and Matrix Plus 2-in-1 mop, but their bases only empty debris.

What is Shark PowerDetect?

Shark’s name for a set of sensing features, such as Dirt Detect and Edge Detect, on its higher-priced robots. Its comparison table counts five on the NeverTouch Pro, six on the ThermaCharged and eight on the UV Reveal, which adds UV Stain Detect and a camera.

Does Shark still sell the AI Ultra robot vacuum?

Not on its own US robot vacuum page on 23 October 2026: the eight robots there were named Navigator, Matrix, Matrix Plus, Stratos and PowerDetect. That page shows what Shark sells direct, not what other retailers still have in stock.

How long does a Shark robot vacuum run on a charge?

Shark’s spec lists give 90 minutes for the Matrix, 110 for the Matrix Plus, 120 for the Navigator 2-in-1 and 180 for the ThermaCharged and UV Reveal. Its own comparison table gives up to 2 hours for the Matrix and UV Reveal, in dry mode on hard floors, so the figures disagree.

Can I compare Shark suction numbers?

Not across models. Shark’s pages state suction as a comparison, each against something different: an iRobot Combo Essential for the Navigator, a Roomba i5 Combo for the Stratos, and the robot’s own Normal mode for the Navigator 2-in-1. No page gives a figure in pascals or air watts.
