Shark Detect Pro Auto-Empty Robot

~C$680

The Shark Detect Pro is Shark's most advanced robot vacuum with auto-empty base. It features PowerDetect technology that automatically increases suction when it detects heavy dirt or transitions to carpet. The self-cleaning brushroll actively removes hair tangles while running — no more cutting hair off the brush. The self-empty base holds up to 60 days of debris. EdgeDetect technology senses walls and edges for thorough edge cleaning. A solid mid-range option for Canadian homes with pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Shark is more affordable and has LiDAR navigation, but the Roomba j7+ has better obstacle avoidance with its camera system.
Does it work on carpet?
Yes, it automatically increases suction on carpet and works well on both hard floors and medium-pile carpet.
How loud is the self-empty cycle?
It's noticeable but brief — about 10-15 seconds. Quieter than the Roomba's self-empty cycle.
