Shark UV Reveal Review (2026): UV Light Mode

There's nary carpet connected my main floor, but I person immoderate upstairs. To determination the Shark upstairs, I had to determination the basal and vacuum and punctual the vacuum to delete its representation and remap my home, since Shark's vacuums tin lone store 1 representation astatine a time. It would beryllium 1 happening if I didn't request to determination the base, but having to determination some makes it a pain; if you were hoping for a vacuum that tin cleanable aggregate floors of your home, this isn't it.

But if carpet is connected the main level of your home, the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal volition inactive bash a coagulated occupation with it. At astir 3 inches tall, it was capable to vacuum nether my ample retention bed, and adjacent more, the matted-down carpet seemed refreshed aft a walk from this robot vacuum. I did spot immoderate tufts of feline hairsbreadth connected the carpet still, though; it seems the Shark was capable to propulsion these up from the carpet, but didn't seizure each of them.

The UV Reveal besides has immoderate useful tools and features for cleaning and escaping tricky spots. It has what Shark calls NeverStuck technology, which lets the robot assistance itself up to get implicit obstacles. The exertion works, astatine slightest for the tricky level feet of a broadside array that the Shark got stuck connected for a infinitesimal astatine my location earlier lifting itself disconnected of it. I ne'er had to rescue the UV Reveal connected either level of my home, though I volition accidental I did a beauteous bully occupation moving level mats retired of the mode since I wanted the floors mopped entirely. The vacuum volition besides sprout a pitchy of aerial to dislodge dust, and there's a azygous broadside brushwood arsenic well. That broadside brushwood does a bully occupation reaching into corners, adjacent tricky, tiny corners wherever I intentionally placed a Cheerio to spot if it could cleanable it up. (It did.)

Base Game

The Shark's basal presumption has 1 of my favourite h2o tanks. There's an extendable grip for the cleanable and soiled h2o canteens, and it clicks into spot astir the vessel erstwhile you spot it backmost successful the base. It makes carrying h2o astir a small much comfortable. The cleanable h2o vessel contains 2.74 liters (or 11.6 cups) of water, portion the soiled h2o vessel contains 1.18 liters (or conscionable nether 5 cups). After 2 afloat cleans of my downstairs hard floors, the soiled h2o vessel was lone filled up a 3rd of the way. The vacuum itself lone takes 0.21 liters of cleanable h2o with it astatine a time, oregon 0.8 cups, and it'll besides usage immoderate of that cleanable h2o to cleanable the mop pad portion astatine its station.
