Use
Use	Floor cleaning	Floor cleaning
Phone app
Phone app	Yes	Yes
Intended use
Intended use	Household floor vacuuming and mopping. S/A/P share the specified cleaning platform but differ in enclosure, supplied roller brushes and dock functions; they are configurations of this family record, not claims that their accessory packages are identical.	Exact current UK RV2900XEUK in Black with heated mop-cleaning NeverTouch Pro base. It is distinct from the later UV Reveal robot; no UV stain-detection capability is asserted here.
Movement
Movement	–	Wheeled robot with NeverStuck Charged movement that lifts and lowers itself over obstacles. It lifts the mop to avoid dragging it across carpet; it does not climb stairs.
Autonomy
Autonomy	Maps rooms, plans cleaning routes, adapts cleaning to floor and debris, and returns to the dock for charging and cleaning cycles. Mop or roller-brush lifting separates the active cleaning tools in relevant modes.	Scheduled room cleaning through the SharkClean app, with automatic base servicing. Tom’s Guide’s UK test reports automatic return for charging when required.
Remote control
Remote control	DJI Home app provides cleaning settings, maps, no-go zones and remote camera functions.	–
Regional availability
Regional availability	The current maker UK store data lists water-tank P, A and S SKUs as on sale with Buy Now enabled and presale false. Its stock value is a sentinel, not a literal physical inventory count; no immediate delivery date is published in that data. Local checkout conditions apply. Checked October 2026.	Exact RV2900XEUK was available and ready to order in the maker’s active UK purchase data on 3 October 2026. Two-year maker guarantee, including the battery, subject to terms.
Release details
Release details	First retail sale date remains unpublished in the exact maker sources read. Specification-page publication timestamps are not treated as on-sale dates.	First retail-sale date unconfirmed and omitted; publication dates of manuals and reviews are not first-sale dates.

Connections
Connections	Robot Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n/ac; robot Bluetooth 5.0 and dock Bluetooth 5.1. Regional radio-frequency restrictions apply.	SharkClean app and Wi-Fi for mapping, scheduling and cleaning preferences.
Size and weight
Size and weight	Robot width × depth × height 351 × 351 × 98 mm, 4.4 kg. Water-tank dock 425 × 453 × 440 mm, 10 kg. S robot model CR8F has a white enclosure; A/P robot CR8E is transparent. S/A dock CS8F is white, P dock CS8E transparent.	Maker gives 12.21 kg and 36.3 × 46.1 × 44.4 cm L × W × H without separating robot and base. These are retained as system figures; standalone robot measurements remain omitted.
Accessories
Accessories	–	Black robot, mop-cleaning NeverTouch Pro base, one antimicrobial mop pad, two side brushes, one odour puck and 355 ml VacMop cleaner.
Battery
Battery life (maker's claim)
Battery life (maker's claim)	Up to 3 hours, vacuum-only Quiet mode at 25°C from 100% to 12% battery	Up to three hours

Battery
Battery	5,000 mAh, 72 Wh battery; nominal robot voltage 14.4 V.	–
Charging
Charging	55 W charging; approximately 2.5 hours from 0% to 100% at 25°C with robot docked and drying disabled. Regional voltage/radio variants and firmware can change the experience.	Current UK maker table specifies four-hour charging. Tom’s Guide observed that the robot returned to the dock to recharge when needed.
Runtime conditions
Runtime conditions	Maker 3-hour laboratory runtime is vacuum-only Quiet mode at 25°C, ending at 12% battery rather than zero; not mopping or maximum-suction endurance.	Up to 180 minutes. Maker’s comparison of finishing in half the time refers to a battery test in a 130 m² space against Matrix Plus 2-in-1; this is not an unqualified coverage rating.
Dock
Dock	All specified docks collect dust, clean and dry mop pads and handle robot charging. P alone adds floor-deodorizer dispensing and dust-bag UV light; S and A expressly do not support those features. Deodorizer and UV are not universal ROMO functions. Manual water-tank and dust-bag servicing still applies.	Heated NeverTouch Pro base automatically empties debris, refills the robot’s water tank, washes the mop with 85°C water and dries it with 80°C air. Maker’s up-to-30-day water-refill claim depends on use; clean and dirty tanks still require attention.

Navigation
Navigation	Dual fisheye vision sensors and wide-angle solid-state LiDAR with active illumination. Manufacturer millimetre-level obstacle-recognition claims describe sensing under its test conditions, not guaranteed avoidance of every item.	Maker’s gallery specifies 360° LiDAR with object detection and floor mapping.
Cleaning
Cleaning	Dual split anti-tangle roller brushes and dual side brushes; extendable side brush and mop arm. A includes bristle-rubber brushes in its advanced package; S uses its standard anti-tangle roller package. Supplied brush/accessory counts depend on the exact regional bundle.	Dirt Detect boosts vacuuming for more debris, Floor Detect adjusts suction to different surfaces, and Edge Detect uses air to move debris into its cleaning path. Maker specifies a 31.5 cm cleaning path.
Mopping
Mopping	Dual mop pads with adjustable water delivery, automatic dirtiness detection, rewash/remop routines and mop lift for relevant carpet/vacuum-only modes. The maker A/S overview publishes a 164 ml onboard water tank; that value is not assigned to P without an exact P maker specification. Dock hot-water washing and drying are maintenance functions, not floor-wide sanitisation guarantees.	Mop extends by up to 2.5 cm for edge cleaning. Active lifting avoids dragging the pad over carpets; dock stores and services the mop.
Suction conditions
Suction conditions	Up to 25,000 Pa suction and up to 20 L/s airflow are manufacturer claims; electrical dock ratings do not describe vacuum suction output.	Suction pressure is not published by the maker. The UK electrical table gives 650 W for the system; this is not suction in pascals.
Dust capacity
Dust capacity	Robot dustbin 260 ml; dock dust bag 2.4 L across P/A/S.	Current UK maker specification gives a 0.38 L robot dust cup. Dock debris capacity is advertised as up to 60 days, dependent on use.
Water capacity
Water capacity	Water-tank dock clean-water tank 4 L and waste-water tank 3.2 L. This record covers removable-tank docks; direct-water-installation versions are not given these tank capacities.	–
Obstacle clearance
Obstacle clearance	Maker auxiliary ramp accessory helps cross thresholds up to 40 mm. This is an optional ramp-assisted claim, not unassisted 40 mm climbing or stair navigation.	–
Maintenance
Maintenance	Maker extended maintenance interval claims apply to the specified base-station system, not a promise that water tanks, brushes and dust bags can remain untouched for 200 days. Clean and replace parts according to the supplied instructions.	Empty dust and dirty water, refill clean water, clean brushroll and filters, and replace worn pads and odour consumables. Automatic dock maintenance does not remove these tasks.
