What reviewers say

Woman & Home and Tom’s Guide found effective everyday vacuuming and mopping with convenient dock servicing. Woman & Home’s robot navigated thresholds confidently; Tom’s Guide’s white UK sample sometimes lost its route and blew debris away from the intended path. Tom’s Guide also found floors wet for a while after mopping and still preferred a manual vacuum for deep cleaning.

Specifications

Task and control

Form: Robot vacuum
Use: Floor cleaning
Phone app: Yes
Intended use: 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.
Autonomy: Scheduled room cleaning through the SharkClean app, with automatic base servicing. Tom’s Guide’s UK test reports automatic return for charging when required.
Regional availability: 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: First retail-sale date unconfirmed and omitted; publication dates of manuals and reviews are not first-sale dates.

Hardware

Wi-Fi: Yes
Connections: SharkClean app and Wi-Fi for mapping, scheduling and cleaning preferences.
Size and weight: 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 three hours
Automatic dock return: Yes
Charging: 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: 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: 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.

Cleaning

Mopping: Yes
Automatic emptying: Yes
Automatic mop washing: Yes
Navigation: Maker’s gallery specifies 360° LiDAR with object detection and floor mapping.
Cleaning: 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: 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 capacity: 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.
Maintenance: 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.
