Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged
A good fit for pet owners in smaller homes who want a heated mop wash and dry; its short measured range makes it a poor choice for big floor plans.
Amazon $599.99$599.99
The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged is the better robot vacuum overall, rated 4.2 to 3.9. The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged leads on cleaning. The Eufy Omni E28 wins on navigation and mopping. The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged costs $29.99 less ($599.99 vs $629.98).
Eufy Omni E28
The E25 plus a dock that turns into a portable carpet and upholstery cleaner. Worth it only if you’ll use that spot cleaner, since the robot itself tested a little worse.
