What reviewers say

Ideal Home’s black UK sample and Expert Reviews’ white UK sample both cleaned well, detected hidden stains and navigated obstacles effectively. Both criticised the single stored floor map. Expert Reviews noted noise, app quirks and unsettled movement on uneven flooring; Ideal Home found hard-floor pickup stronger than carpet pickup and its heavy test use filled the dock sooner than the claimed 60 days.

Task and control

Form
Robot vacuum
Use
Floor cleaning
Phone app
Yes
Intended use
Vacuuming carpets and hard floors, with mopping on suitable sealed hard floors. Selected current UK finish is Luxe Evergreen RV3026XEUKGN. Maker presents Luxe and original black/white versions as colour choices in the same UV Reveal range, not separate hardware generations.
Movement
Wheeled robot with active lift and lower movement for obstacles and mop pickup; it does not climb stairs.
Autonomy
Automatic room cleaning and dock servicing. Mapping, schedules and cleaning preferences use the SharkClean app.
Regional availability
Exact Evergreen RV3026XEUKGN was available and ready to order from the maker’s active UK purchase state on 3 October 2026; several other colours were out of stock. Two-year maker guarantee, subject to terms.
Release details
First retail-sale date unconfirmed and omitted. The cosmetic Luxe finishes are not treated as a separate product generation.

Hardware

Camera
Yes
Wi-Fi
Yes
Sensors
UV stain detection, RGB sensors and lasers; maker lists dirt, floor, edge and object detection.
Camera
Maker’s NeuroNav navigation description includes an UltraRange camera. UV light detects stains; it is not a claim that the robot sterilises floors with ultraviolet light.
Connections
SharkClean app and Wi-Fi. Account and network connection are used for app setup and mapping.
Size and weight
Exact maker table lists 46.1 × 36.32 × 44.45 cm L × W × H, consistent with the docking setup rather than the robot alone. It also lists 2 kg without separating robot and dock conditions. Standalone robot measurements are omitted pending exact maker clarification.
Accessories
Robot, charging dock, one antimicrobial mop pad, two 58 mm side brushes, anti-odour cartridge and 355 ml VacMop floor cleaner. Included accessories are separate from the phone and illustrative water graphic in the maker composite.

Battery

Battery life (maker's claim)
Up to three hours
Charging
Charging dock included; current UK table specifies four-hour charging.
Runtime conditions
Up to 180 minutes, tested on hard floors; maker’s page footnote further qualifies Eco mode.
Dock
ThermaCharged NeverTouch Pro base refills the robot, empties dust, washes the mop with 85°C water and dries it with 80°C air. Maker lists TÜV Rheinland bacteria-elimination certification for the selected SKU’s mop-washing system; this does not establish sterilisation of the home.

Cleaning

Mopping
Yes
Automatic emptying
Yes
Automatic mop washing
Yes
Navigation
Maker’s navigation combines lasers, RGB sensors and the camera to map rooms and manoeuvre around obstacles.
Cleaning
Dirt and floor sensing adjust vacuum operation. Edge Detect uses air to move debris towards the cleaning path; Wet Edge Detect extends the mop towards edges.
Mopping
HyperSonic Mopping scrubs stains with a targeted motion. The robot automatically picks up and drops off the mop at the base.
Suction conditions
Maker does not publish suction in pascals. The 650 W table figure is an electrical rating for the system, not suction pressure.
Dust capacity
Maker’s current specification gives a 0.38 L dust cup. Bagless base stores debris with an up-to-60-day claim dependent on use.
Maintenance
Refill clean water, empty dirty water and dock dust, clean filters and brushroll, and replace worn pads or odour cartridges. Self-service dock functions do not eliminate these tasks.

Pros

  • Ultraviolet stain detection and targeted mopping
  • Bagless automatic dust emptying
  • Heated mop washing and drying dock

Cons
