Overview

FormRobot vacuumRobot vacuum
UseFloor cleaningFloor cleaning
Phone appYesYes
Intended useHousehold floor vacuuming and mopping. Complete supplies additional cleaning consumables; it is not a separate robot hardware generation.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–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.
AutonomyCleanGenius selects cleaning routines; selectable vacuum, mop, combined and mop-after-vacuum modes. Automatic return to the dock for charging followed by cleaning resumption.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 controlDreamehome app, built-in voice control and supported Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant integrations; third-party voice control requires a compatible voice device.–
Regional availabilityThe maker US store accepts X50 Ultra and X50 Ultra Complete orders; available exact black and white retail variants are confirmed in its current product data.

Size and weightRobot 350 × 350 × 89 mm with VersaLift sensor retracted, or 350 × 350 × 111 mm raised. Robot weight 4.53 kg. Dock dimensions 457 × 340 × 590 mm as ordered by the maker, weight 9.09 kg. Ensure flat furniture undersides and additional clearance to prevent enclosure scratches in low-clearance mode.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–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)Up to 220 minutes, vacuuming and mopping in Quiet modeUp to three hours
Battery capacity6,400 mAh–
Automatic dock returnYesYes
Battery6,400 mAh battery.–
ChargingMaker claims 30% faster charging than its robot vacuums without fast charging; off-peak charging can be selected. No exact full-charge duration is assigned from this relative claim.Current UK maker table specifies four-hour charging. Tom’s Guide observed that the robot returned to the dock to recharge when needed.
Runtime conditionsUp to 220 minutes in vacuuming-and-mopping Quiet mode. Coverage up to 205 m² was tested separately in vacuum-only Quiet mode. Manufacturer laboratory claims; the coverage and runtime describe different workloads.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.
DockAutomatic dust emptying, robot water refill, detergent dispensing, mop-pad washing/drying and washboard cleaning. Fresh and dirty dock water tanks still need filling and emptying unless an appropriate optional regional hookup is fitted.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.

NavigationVersaLift retractable DToF sensor, AI camera and 3D structured-light obstacle detection. The maker claims recognition of up to 200 obstacle types under laboratory conditions.Maker’s gallery specifies 360° LiDAR with object detection and floor mapping.
CleaningHyperStream dual anti-tangle brushrolls, extendable side brush and five suction levels. Maximum 20,000 Pa is a maker laboratory suction claim; it does not establish debris pickup relative to another brand.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.
MoppingDual rotating mop pads with MopExtend edge reach; automatic mop lifting or dock detachment for selected carpet modes. Up to 80°C dock mop-washing water, hot-air drying, automatic detergent dispensing and washboard cleaning. The dock washing temperature is not the temperature of the entire floor-mopping process.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 pressure is not published by the maker. The UK electrical table gives 650 W for the system; this is not suction in pascals.
Dust capacityRobot dustbin 395 ml according to the exact current maker X50 comparison column; the adjacent 300 ml value belongs to X40 Ultra. Dock disposable dust bag 3.2 L. Claimed 100 days between bag replacements depends on household dirt and use.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 capacityDock clean-water tank 4.5 L and used-water tank 4.0 L; optional water hookup arrangements depend on region and installation.–
Obstacle clearanceMaker laboratory maximum 42 mm for a single vertical step, or 60 mm total across two steps with a gap greater than 40 mm. These are threshold conditions, not stair-climbing capability.–
MaintenanceReplace dock dust bags, worn pads, brushes and filters, and periodically clean accessible robot/dock parts. Complete includes extra consumables rather than extra robot sensing or suction hardware.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.
