Shark ThermaCharged PowerDetect Robot Vacuum Cleaner - White

The cleaning on our floor tiles first class

Really good piece of equipment. To be honest even better than I expected it to be

A game changer!

I purchased the Shark ThermaCharged for my mum, who has struggled with her back following a hit-and-run accident. Everyday household chores, particularly vacuuming and steaming the floors, have become increasingly challenging for her, so I wanted something that could genuinely make life a little easier. I’d previously seen one of these machines in action and, to be fair, it looked absolutely incredible. Having now experienced it firsthand, I can confidently say it has more than lived up to expectations! Our home has quite a mixture of flooring. The bathroom, hallway, entrance porch and kitchen are all tiled, while the living and dining rooms have hardwood flooring, each with a short-pile rug. There’s even a small 3mm lip leading into the porch, which the ThermaCharged manages to traverse flawlessly! What has impressed me most is just how thoroughly this little machine cleans. It navigates practically every nook and cranny, working along skirting boards, edges and those awkward, hard-to-reach areas that would ordinarily require extra effort. The cleaning performance has been exceptional. A little advice for first-time users – there’s a learning curve! During the initial mapping process, I’d strongly recommend picking up loose objects and, where possible, keeping people and pets out of the rooms while it learns the layout. Obstacles and interruptions can slow down the process, so giving it a clear run really does help. Something else I’ve noticed is that the machine appears to become more confident with subsequent cleaning cycles. For example, our hardwood flooring is approximately 12mm thick, creating a slight height difference between the living room and tiled hallway. On its first run, the ThermaCharged struggled a little with this transition. However, on subsequent runs, it has navigated the same area flawlessly! It seems to remember its routes remarkably well, including the various thresholds and changes in floor height throughout the house. The scheduling feature is another absolute winner! Being able to schedule cleaning jobs is fantastic. You can have it cleaning at 2am while everyone is asleep, and wake up to beautifully clean floors without having lifted a finger. It’s one of those conveniences you don’t fully appreciate until you’ve experienced it. For anyone living with a disability, mobility difficulties, chronic back pain, or simply finding everyday household chores increasingly demanding, this really could be a life-changing investment. For my mum, it’s about much more than having clean floors. It’s about taking away some of the physical strain of everyday life and giving her one less thing to worry about. Technology is at its best when it genuinely improves people’s lives, and I think Shark has achieved something rather special here. First impressions? Absolutely outstanding. It’s early days, but so far, I’m thoroughly impressed with the Shark ThermaCharged. The cleaning performance, intelligent navigation and sheer convenience have exceeded my expectations. A fantastic bit of kit, and one I’d happily recommend!

We love it - Get one ordered

Arrived today, setup was really straight forward and mapped the house in no time. It then went out to detect carpets and hard floors which it did spot on. Now completed its first hoover and mop session, highly recommend, so quiet too. It’s now washed and is currently drying the mops !!

Not so great

I bought as it said it was suitable for dog hair it just seems to be one problem after another its always breaking

Not worth it

Always stuck, always wasting water.

After our budget robot vacuum broke, we thought we'd treat ourselves to features the old one was lacking, namely the auto-empty, hot water mop washing, drying and NeverStuck technology...But of the 5 Shark products we own, this has been by FAR the most disappointing. • It has gone through the clean water tank in a week (this I'll give a pass based on multiple exploration runs) • Despite the 'NeverStuck' technology, it constantly gets stuck in between grout lines, pausing entirely • It struggles to climb a ramp that a budget robot vacuum had no issues navigating, and completely ignores it on the way back down despite the rest of the drop being added to a no-go zone That said, the actual mopping and vacuuming is...decent. The bagless base is also a plus. Not for this price though. Likely going to return this.

Great mopper

I’m really pleased with this. Bought it for porcelain tile and engineered hardwood floors. It’s excellent at mopping both floors types and leaves no streaks dries quickly as doesn’t use too much water. Vacuum seems good on normal mode. One gripe is it can only remember one map so if take upstairs you need to remap or spot clean. If you remap you need to remap again when you take it back downstairs. Better to spot clean. I think only holding one map is very poor tbh decided not to mark down for that as can spot clean instead. Had trouble linking to Alexa and when did it has limited functionality in Alexa basically start/stop cleaning and return to docking station. Better off with shark app to control it which works fine. On deep carpets wheels leave track marks which not great. Fine on less deep carpets though as doesn’t leave any track mark on those.

Love it

absolutely love my Shark. It takes a while to clean the whole house, but that’s because it’s very thorough and doesn’t miss much. It vacuums and mops really well, gets into the edges nicely, and leaves the floors looking much cleaner than I expected. The app is easy to use once it’s set up, and it’s great being able to let it get on with the cleaning while I do other things. Although the cleaning cycle is quite long, the results make it well worth the wait. I’d definitely recommend it.

Vacuum and mop amazing machine

Absolutely fabulous machine. Set it to vacuum before we get up and mop when we have left for work. Why did we not get one of these years ago

Excellent Product

Perfect for our household and amazing to plan cleans, mopping and ensuring the Robert takes the strain. Room mapping was easy and the occasional spot mop is perfect with our dogs messy paw prints. It has become a member of the household now and extra brownie points from all concerned in our house.
