What the differences mean
Mopping
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro mops with dual pads, washes and dries them at the dock and lifts or removes them for carpet. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty has no mopping at all, so a home that wants both jobs done by one robot has only one option here.
Battery and recharge
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is rated at 253 minutes, far beyond the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty's 110, and it returns to its dock to recharge on its own. The Shark takes up to 6 hours to refill, so bigger homes lean on the Roborock.
Smart home reach
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro supports Alexa, Google Home, Matter, Apple Home through Matter and Home Assistant. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty covers Alexa, Google Home and Home Assistant only, with no Apple Home, SmartThings or Matter.
Mop upkeep
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro handles its own mop pads, washing them with hot water and drying them with warm air at the dock. The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty has no mop to maintain, which is simpler in one sense, but it also cannot clean hard floors wet.
Base and filtration
The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty uses a bagless HEPA base rated for up to 30 days of debris, with no bags to buy. Roborock empties the Qrevo 2 Pro into a sealed bag instead, so the Shark is the one that removes a consumable.
Which one to buy if
- you want one robot to vacuum and mop
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro mops, washes and dries its pads and parks them before carpet; the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty only vacuums.
- you have a large floor to finish on a charge
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro is rated at 253 minutes against 110 on the Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty.
- you want the lowest price
The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty is the more affordable of the two.
- you have shedding pets and only want vacuuming
The Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty lifts over thresholds with NeverStuck and holds a month of hair in a bagless HEPA base.
- you want Apple Home or Matter
The Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro reaches Apple Home through Matter and supports every other major platform, while the Shark does not.

What owners say
The two groups want different things, and both largely get them. Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro owners rave about how fast and accurate the LiDAR mapping is, often a full house in minutes, and about Auto Mop Removal letting the robot enter a carpeted room without dragging damp pads; households with heavy shedders report hair pickup that pricier robots missed. Their reservations are the app, which reads as the weaker half of the product, LiDAR mapping through glass doors that needs manual edits, an occasional hairball left after a self-empty cycle and one unit arriving with a loose screw. Shark PowerDetect Self-Empty owners value that it rarely strands itself and swallows pet hair, with NeverStuck lifting it over thresholds and a bagless HEPA base holding a month of debris; they criticise the plain SharkClean app, day-one Wi-Fi pairing trouble and occasional missed patches.
