Should you buy the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum?
Shark positions the Matrix Plus as a carpet-first 2-in-1 that uses a back-and-forth grid pattern instead of straight lines, and our 5-month test on mixed flooring backs the claim. At $599 you get Matrix Clean precision grid, sonic mopping vibration up to 100/sec, self-empty XL bagless base for up to 60 days, 360 LiDAR, no-go zones, room-specific cleaning, HEPA filter, and Alexa plus Google Assistant support. The trade is that the sonic mop is fine for light freshening but no match for a true spinning-pad mop or a hot-wash dock.
Frequently asked questions
Does the Shark Matrix Plus need replacement bags for the dock?+
No. The XL base is bagless. You empty the dirt bin every 30-60 days and wipe the filter every couple of weeks.
