Third-party reviews

Based on ratings from across the web.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What customers like about Shark Matrix

  • Excellent home mapping and accurate navigation with uniform matrix cleaning
  • Excellent hard-floor performance on both large and small debris
  • Intuitive app for setting no-go zones, room-specific cleaning and schedules
  • Efficient self-emptying dock minimizes manual maintenance
  • Quickly crosses obstacles without getting stuck frequently

What customers don't like about Shark Matrix

  • Disappointing pet-hair pickup, with hair tending to wrap around the brush
  • Struggles to deep-clean carpets, especially fine debris
  • Poor detection and avoidance of small obstacles such as cables or small objects
  • Edge and corner coverage is not always as precise as on other premium models
  • The robot's internal dustbin is quite small and needs frequent emptying without the dock

Verdict

The Shark Matrix is a robotic cleaning system engineered with a 14.4V lithium-ion battery delivering up to 90 to 110 minutes of runtime, operating at a 35W to 650W power range, and utilising 360-degree LiDAR vision for precision home mapping. Key characteristics include a self-cleaning brushroll with a 5.72-to-6-inch cleaning path, a 0.2-to-0.3L onboard dustbin, and an automatic, bagless self-emptying base station with built-in HEPA filtration capable of holding 30 to 60 days of debris. Main advantages highlight its powerful multi-surface suction that removes 97.3% of debris, multi-angle precision grid cleaning patterns, and a cost-effective bagless base design, while prominent drawbacks include poor obstacle avoidance, loud operation during auto-emptying, a restrictive app interface that only supports one floor map at a time, and an inability to lift its mop pad on carpeted surfaces.
