Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1
Sonic mopping + HEPA filtration for allergy sufferers
What we love

- Sonic mopping is highly effective for light duty
- Matrix Clean pattern ensures full coverage
- Very quiet — barely audible
- Sonic mopping and a sealed auto-empty dock in one machine
What could be better
- Lower 4,000 Pa suction — struggles on thick carpet
- No mop lift — can drag on low-pile rugs
- No auto-wash mop
- Smaller coverage area
The Shark Matrix Plus punches above its price class with HEPA filtration, sonic mopping, and reliable LiDAR navigation. It's not a powerhouse, but for allergy-conscious households in medium-sized homes without thick carpet, it earns its place. Shark discounts it heavily and often — it is listed at $299.99 against a $699.99 list as we write, though currently sold out — so the price you see matters more here than with most robots.
Cleaning Performance
The Matrix Plus's 4,000 Pa suction is adequate for hardwood and low-pile carpet. The HEPA-rated filtration is a genuine differentiator — third-party testing shows it captures 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns. For allergy and asthma households, this matters.
Mopping Performance
Sonic mopping at this price point is impressive. The 295ml water tank provides good range for medium homes. The lack of mop lift means it'll slightly wet low-pile carpet at transitions — not ideal but manageable with zone restrictions.
Base Station & Autonomy
The auto-empty base stores 60 days of dust in a HEPA-sealed bag — the best containment in this class. There's no mop washing or refill, keeping the station compact and the price accessible.
App & Smart Home
The SharkClean app is straightforward and reliable. Room-by-room cleaning, scheduling, and map editing all work well. It's not as feature-rich as Roborock, but covers everything most users need without the complexity.
