Matrix Plus

Reviewer verdict

Across 19 YouTube reviews, the Shark Matrix Plus earns an Index score of 4.1/5, ranking #51 among Robot Vacuums. Reviewers most often praise its cleaning performance, maintenance, navigation, while the most common criticisms concern cleaning performance, ease of use.

The Shark Matrix Plus is praised for its powerful and convenient automated cleaning. Its dual-function design allows it to vacuum and mop simultaneously, effectively tackling dust, debris, and pet hair across various surfaces like hardwood, tile, and carpet. A major highlight is the large-capacity, bagless self-emptying base, which holds up to 60 days of dirt and features HEPA filtration, significantly reducing manual maintenance. Reviewers also appreciate its advanced LiDAR mapping, creating accurate home layouts for systematic grid-like cleaning and app customization with features like no-go zones and room-specific cleaning. This combination makes it a reliable choice for keeping floors consistently clean with minimal effort.

The most frequent complaint is the noise level, with many reviewers noting that the self-emptying process is particularly loud. The mopping functionality also presents significant drawbacks; the robot cannot automatically lift its mop pad, requiring users to meticulously create no-mop zones to prevent it from wetting carpets. This can also cause streaking as it returns to its base. Furthermore, its obstacle avoidance for low-lying objects like cords is poor, often resulting in it running over them. Despite anti-tangle claims, a considerable amount of hair can still wrap around the brush roll, requiring manual cleaning.
