Robot Vacuums

Robot vacuums navigate your home autonomously, suctioning up dust and debris into a small onboard dustbin as they go. Some models are vacuum-only, while others are 2-in-1 robot vac and mop combos that can vacuum and mop your hard floors in the same pass. You can control them via a smartphone app or directly using the buttons on the robot. Many Shark models come with multifunction bases or self-empty docks — so the robot automatically deposits debris into a larger base unit then self-refills and self-cleans. Our bagless base takes it a step further by ditching disposable bags entirely, so you simply empty the canister straight into the trash with no ongoing bag costs. Think of it as the helping hand you never knew you needed — one that never calls in sick.

A 2-in-1 vacuum and mop combo does the work of two cleaning tools in one. As it moves across your floors, it vacuums up dry debris, dust and hair and then mops away everyday surface grime, spills, and muddy messes — no separate mopping session required.

For everyday cleaning, a robot vacuum is very effective — consistently tackling dust, debris, and hair across all accessible floor space. Whether you use it as your only vacuum or alongside a full-size for occasional deep cleans in hard-to-reach spots comes down to personal preference. Either way, your Shark robot handles the day-to-day so you don't have to.

The SharkClean app is your robot's command center where you can customize your clean. From the app, you can start, pause, or schedule cleaning sessions for your whole home or room by room, view cleaning history and maps, set no-go zones like pet feeding stations or play areas, adjust suction settings, and receive maintenance alerts.

It's available for free on iOS and Android, and is designed to make managing your clean as effortless as the robot itself. The app is also smart home friendly, compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can start, stop, or schedule a clean with just your voice.

Shark robot vacuums are built to handle real homes — gliding across hardwood, tile, and carpet without missing a beat. For homes with a mix of floor types, Shark's NeverStuck Technology does the heavy lifting, automatically raising and lowering the mop pad as the robot transitions between hard floors and rugs — so clean floors get a thorough mop while rugs stay dry. The same technology helps the robot cross room thresholds and navigate everyday obstacles seamlessly, keeping it moving from room to room without interruption.

For smaller homes: The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty XL (RV2610WA) packs powerful vacuuming, sonic mopping, and a self-emptying base into one capable robot — big performance without the bulk.

For busier homes: The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop (RV2920XE) delivers up to a month of hands-free cleaning. The NeverTouch Pro Base auto-empties and washes the mop pad with 185°F water, while Dirt Detect, DryGuard, and NeverStuck Charged Technology keep it cleaning deeper and longer — all on its own.

For the ultimate clean: The Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal (RV3020XE) takes cleaning to a new level by detecting invisible messes with UV Stain Detect technology, then tackling them head-on with HyperSonic Mopping. Paired with the ThermaCharged sanitization base, it's the most thorough and high-tech clean Shark has to offer.

Battery life varies by model, but most Shark robot vacuums run for up to 60–120 minutes on a single charge — enough to cover most home sizes in one go. If the battery runs low mid-clean, the robot will automatically return to its base to recharge and then pick up right where it left off, so your whole home gets covered without any input from you.

To keep your Shark robot running at peak performance, a few parts will need periodic replacing — typically filters, side brushes, and mop pads. Most consumables are affordable and available directly at SharkNinja.com and included in your initial purchase. A general maintenance schedule is included in your robot's manual, and the SharkClean app will alert you when it's time for a replacement.

A standard robot vacuum collects debris in a small onboard dustbin that you empty manually after each clean. Shark's self-empty models take that hassle away entirely — automatically transferring debris into a larger base unit after every run, so you only need to empty it every few weeks rather than after every session.

Unlike most self-empty bases on the market, Shark's is completely bagless — no replacement bags to buy, no messy disposal, just a simple canister you empty straight into the trash. When it's time, the SharkClean app will let you know.

Every Shark robot vacuum is built with pet households in mind — from tangle-resistant brushrolls to powerful suction that adapts to pet hair.

For the ultimate pet-home clean: The Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal (RV3020XE) goes beyond what the eye can see, using UV Stain Detect technology to uncover hidden pet messes like urine or drool before they become bigger problems. PowerDetect Technologies automatically boost suction in areas with concentrated dirt and pet hair, while the ThermaCharged NeverTouch Pro Base washes the mop pad with 185°F water and dries it with 175°F air for a home that's truly clean, not just visibly clean.

For great value without compromise: The Shark Matrix Self-Empty Robot Vacuum (RV2310AE) tackles pet hair head-on with a self-cleaning brushroll designed to resist tangles and wrap. Precision home mapping ensures full floor coverage every run, and the 30-day capacity self-empty base means pet messes are handled consistently — without you having to lift a finger.
