The Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Self-Empty XL combines Shark's Matrix Clean grid with Sonic Mopping, so it vacuums and scrubs hard floors 100x per minute in the same pass. Shark rates Matrix Clean at 30% better carpet cleaning than a single pass and its CleanEdge Detect, which uses air blasts and corner recognition, at 20% better edge cleaning. A Matrix Mop mode in the app targets stains in chosen zones. Mapping uses 360° LiDAR, and you set carpet and no-go zones in the SharkClean app so the mop stays off rugs. The bagless base holds up to 60 days of debris behind True HEPA filtration, and the robot recharges and resumes on big jobs, with a listed 110-minute battery. It ranks last because the value is weak right now: at $699.99 with no discount, it costs $50 more than the ThermaCharged, whose base washes and dries the mop. Its rating on Shark's page was also the lowest here when we checked. We compared documented features and published prices.
Who it is for
