Dreame X60 Max Ultra vs Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty

Full Robot Vacuums comparison in 2026

Updated September 2026
Data from Amazon and official Dreame and Shark sites.
2026 verdict
Self-empty without a mop is only half a combo: Dreame X60 Max Ultra is the robot vacuum that finishes the job.
It mops, washes and dries pads, runs 180 minutes against 110, holds a larger 235ml onboard bin against 189ml, and is covered for 3 years with Google Home and Alexa. Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty is the more affordable LiDAR vacuum that does self-empty, but mopping, pad washing and pad drying are all no. Choose the Dreame X60 Max Ultra for mixed floors; choose the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty if you only want a cheaper self-emptying vacuum.
