The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is ideal for individuals seeking an automated cleaning solution that handles both dry debris and wet spills on various floor types. Its primary strength lies in combining powerful suction with effective sonic mopping in one device, ensuring a thorough clean across your home. Be aware that while it cleans methodically, some larger objects (11.5cm or greater) are detected and avoided, requiring smaller items to be cleared from its path for optimal performance.
Matrix Clean: This robot cleans in a precise, overlapping grid pattern, making multiple passes over dirt and debris to ensure optimal coverage and deep cleaning.
CleanEdge Detect: Utilizes bursts of air and advanced corner recognition to pull debris from edges and corners directly into the cleaning path, offering enhanced edge cleaning performance.
Sonic Mopping: Effectively scrubs hard floors 100 times per minute, tackling stuck-on stains. For more intense cleaning, the Matrix Mop feature in the app allows focused mopping on specific problematic zones.
Self-cleaning Brush-roll with Anti Hair Wrap Technology: Designed to dig deep into carpets and directly engage hard floors. This technology actively removes hair from the brush-roll as it cleans, preventing tangles.
Precision Home Mapping: Rapidly and accurately maps your home environment. This allows the robot to clean methodically, detect, and avoid obstacles in its path, day or night. The map is accessible in the SharkClean app for custom zone cleaning and scheduling.
Recharge & Resume: The robot intelligently returns to its base when the battery is low, recharges, and then continues cleaning precisely where it left off, ensuring the entire area is covered.
Long Run-Time: Offers up to 110 minutes of run-time on a single charge when operating in low suction mode on hard floors.
Dual Functionality: Efficiently vacuums and mops, saving time and effort.
Superior Edge Cleaning: CleanEdge Detect ensures corners and wall edges are not neglected.
Effective Stain Removal: Sonic Mopping actively scrubs for better performance on stuck-on messes.
Pet-Friendly Design: Self-cleaning brush-roll effectively handles pet hair without tangling.
Systematic Cleaning: Matrix Clean provides comprehensive, methodical coverage of your floors.
Smart Navigation: Precision mapping allows for targeted cleaning and obstacle avoidance.
Object Avoidance Limits: Only detects and avoids objects 11.5cm or greater, meaning smaller items may need to be cleared manually.
Battery Life Varies: Maximum run-time is achieved in low suction mode on hard floors; performance in higher suction modes or on carpets may be less.
No Self-Emptying Bin (for this model): Requires manual emptying of the dustbin after cleaning sessions.
Manual Water Refill: The water tank for mopping needs to be manually refilled as needed.

The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop is engineered for a complete home clean. When deployed, its Matrix Clean system is immediately noticeable as it navigates your space in a precise grid pattern, ensuring no area is missed. This methodical approach is particularly effective in open-plan living areas or large rooms where comprehensive coverage is key.
For hard floors, the Sonic Mopping capability truly shines. Imagine a dried coffee spill in your kitchen; instead of just wiping, the robot actively scrubs the area at high speed, helping to lift and remove the stain. You can further enhance this by initiating Matrix Mop in the SharkClean app for focused cleaning on particularly messy spots.
Dealing with pet hair or general debris? The self-cleaning brush-roll with Anti Hair Wrap Technology is designed to pull hair and dirt from both carpets and hard floors without getting tangled, which is a significant advantage for pet owners. It digs into carpet fibers to extract embedded dirt and effectively picks up surface debris on hard floors.
In areas with corners and edges, the CleanEdge Detect system is highly effective. It uses air blasts and advanced recognition to pull hidden dirt and dust from these tricky spots, funneling it directly into the robot's cleaning path. This means less manual corner cleaning for you.
Thanks to Precision Home Mapping, the robot quickly learns your home's layout. Once mapped, you can use the SharkClean app to designate specific zones for cleaning, set schedules, or even initiate a full clean. For instance, if you've had guests, you can send the robot to only clean the living room and kitchen. The Recharge & Resume feature ensures that even in large homes, the robot will complete its cleaning cycle by returning to its dock to recharge and then resuming where it left off.
Unpack: Carefully remove the robot, charging dock, and accessories from the packaging.
Position Dock: Place the charging dock on a level surface, preferably against a wall, in an open area with adequate space around it (e.g., 0.5 meters on either side, 1.5 meters in front).
Charge Battery: Connect the power cord to the charging dock and plug it into a wall outlet. Place the robot onto the charging dock, ensuring the charging contacts align. Allow the robot to fully charge before its first use (indicated by a solid white light).
Download App: Download the SharkClean app from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network and begin the initial home mapping process.
Floor Types: Compatible with all sealed hard floors, including wood, tile, and laminate. It also effectively cleans carpets.
Obstacle Avoidance: Detects and avoids objects 11.5cm or greater in height. Smaller items should be cleared from the cleaning path.
Dustbin Emptying: Regularly empty the robot's dustbin after each cleaning cycle, or as needed, to maintain optimal suction performance.
Filter Cleaning: The filter should be tapped clean over a bin weekly and rinsed with water monthly. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting.
Brush-roll Maintenance: Periodically check the self-cleaning brush-roll for any remaining debris or hair, though the Anti Hair Wrap technology significantly reduces tangles.
Mopping Pad Cleaning: After each mopping session, remove and clean the mopping pad. Most pads are machine washable.
Water Tank: Empty any remaining water from the tank after mopping. Refill with clean water (and appropriate cleaning solution if desired) before each mopping session.
Sensors and Charging Contacts: Wipe the robot's sensors and charging contacts with a dry cloth periodically to ensure proper navigation and charging.
