The launch sets a new standard in home hygiene by combining intelligent robotics with thermal cleaning technology that ensures a fresh, spotless clean every cycle.

USA – SharkNinja has launched its first-ever 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop, the PowerDetect™ ThermaCharged™, which pioneers combining intelligent vacuuming with advanced heated mop wash and drying technology.
This innovative device integrates PowerDetect™ sensors with ThermaCharged™ thermal technology to deliver superior suction and meticulous edge cleaning while starting each cleaning session with a freshly sanitized mop.
It addresses common limitations of robot vacuums by incorporating adaptive intelligence, advanced 360° LiDAR navigation, and AI-driven object detection for seamless maneuvering around household obstacles without manual intervention.
The PowerDetect™ ThermaCharged™ robot comes with a NeverTouch™ Pro base that automatically washes the mop pad with water heated to 185°F and dries it at 175°F, eliminating dirt and bacteria and preventing grime from redistributing onto floors.
This process ensures a hygienic clean and prevents wet streaks or lingering odors.
The base also self-empties debris into a bin holding up to 60 days of dirt and automatically refills its water tank for up to 30 days, enabling up to a month of virtually hands-free maintenance.
Neil Shah, Chief Commercial Officer at SharkNinja, said, “The PowerDetect™ ThermaCharged™ NeverTouch base marks a breakthrough in home hygiene through advanced thermal self-cleaning technology while simplifying how people care for their homes.”
“This innovation underscores our commitment to solving real consumer problems with intelligent solutions, delivering measurable results and exceptional performance.”
The system is designed to lift the mop on carpets with its NeverStuck™ technology for uninterrupted cleaning and dry carpet protection.
Offering up to three hours of runtime, the robot features edge-to-edge cleaning with Dirt Detect and Floor Detect sensors, carpet boost settings, and the ability to climb thresholds up to 0.7 inches.
Its navigation includes virtual barriers and no-go zones, plus compatibility with voice assistants for convenient control.
The PowerDetect ThermaCharged™ sets a new standard in home hygiene by combining intelligent robotics with thermal cleaning technology that ensures a fresh, spotless clean every cycle.
In a similar move, Narwal, a robotics company that develops intelligent home cleaning solutions, recently introduced the Narwal Flow, an AI robot vacuum and mop designed to revolutionize home cleaning with advanced technology and user-friendly convenience.
Narwal Flow combines powerful suction with an innovative self-cleaning mopping system to offer a truly maintenance-free cleaning experience.
One standout feature is the FlowWash Mopping System with EdgeReach™ Technology.
This system uses real-time self-cleaning of the track mop through dual water tanks that circulate fresh water heated to 113°F while simultaneously collecting dirty water.
