The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty Robot Vacuum Mop is designed for homeowners seeking a comprehensive, hands-free cleaning solution. It excels by offering powerful vacuuming on all floor types and simultaneous sonic mopping on hard floors, all while self-emptying its dustbin. Its key strength is the seamless integration of vacuuming and mopping into one automated device, providing a complete clean with minimal intervention. However, optimal performance for mopping will require regular maintenance of the mop pad and refilling of the water tank.

The Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 is designed for daily, consistent home cleaning. Its whole home vacuuming capability means it can navigate from hard floors to carpets, efficiently picking up dust, dirt, and pet dander. For example, it will seamlessly transition from cleaning spilled cereal on your kitchen tile to removing tracked-in dirt from your living room rug.
When it comes to hard floors, the 2-in-1 vacuum and sonic mop function truly shines. It will vacuum up loose debris first, then scrub away grime and spills with its sonic mopping feature, leaving your hard floors sparkling. This is particularly useful for areas like kitchens and bathrooms where spills and foot traffic are common.
Pet owners will appreciate the self-cleaning brush-roll, which actively detangles hair as it cleans. This means less manual hair removal from the brush-roll, even in homes with multiple shedding pets. The robot's ability to tackle corners and edges ensures a more thorough clean, reducing the need for manual touch-ups.
The self-emptying dustbin is a major convenience, allowing the robot to complete multiple cleaning runs without you having to empty it. This is ideal for busy households or for scheduling daily cleans, as you'll only need to attend to the base station periodically, not after every clean. The Anti-Allergen Complete Seal ensures that dust and allergens are captured and contained, making it a great choice for individuals with sensitivities, improving overall air quality in your home.
Unpack and Place Base: Unpack the robot and its self-empty base. Place the base against a wall in an open area with adequate clear space around it (e.g., 3 feet in front, 1.5 feet on either side) to ensure easy docking.
Charge Robot: Place the robot onto the charging base. Ensure it makes proper contact. Allow it to fully charge before its first cleaning run (typically several hours).
Download App: Download the SharkClean app to your smartphone and follow the in-app instructions to connect your robot to your home Wi-Fi network.
Initial Mapping Run: Send the robot on an initial 'Explore' or 'Map' run through the app. This helps the robot learn your home's layout for efficient cleaning.
Floor Types: Compatible with all types of carpets for vacuuming. For mopping, it is designed for hard floor surfaces such as hardwood, tile, laminate, and linoleum.
Wi-Fi: Requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for app connectivity and smart features.
Obstacles: Ensure small cords, toys, and other potential obstacles are cleared from the floor before cleaning runs to prevent the robot from getting stuck.
Self-Empty Base: The base automatically empties the robot's dustbin. Periodically check the base's dustbin and empty it as needed. As it's bagless, simply unlatch and empty into the trash.
Robot Dustbin: While self-emptying, occasionally inspect the robot's internal dustbin and filter for any residual debris or blockages, especially if cleaning very fine dust or larger particles.
Brush-roll: Though self-cleaning, it's good practice to occasionally check the brush-roll for any wrapped hair or debris that might have accumulated, particularly if you have long-haired pets.
Mop Pad: After each mopping session, remove and clean the mop pad. Machine wash or hand wash the pad as per instructions to ensure effective future mopping.
Water Tank: Refill the water tank with clean water or a Shark-approved hard floor cleaning solution before each mopping session. Empty any remaining liquid after use.
Sensors: Periodically wipe down the robot's sensors (cliff sensors, bumper sensors) with a dry cloth to ensure optimal navigation and prevent falls.
