Shark Robot Vacuum and Mop Review

Robot vacuums that also mop are a great option for families with both types. These powerful devices often have self-emptying dust bins that never get stuck on obstacles.

The Shark RV2610WA vacuum and mop combination provides a thorough clean using Matrix Clean, which uses an exact grid pattern to avoid missing spots. It also lets you create carpet zones when you'd like it to avoid mopping.

Self-Emptying Base Station

The dustbin of a robotic vacuum can be filled with dirt when cleaning. However, emptying it can be a pain. You can dock your vacuum, and it will automatically empty itself into an even larger storage container. It's similar to how bags-less vacuum cleaners work, and it will allow you to use your robot vacuum more frequently.

The base stations of certain Shark models also clean the mop of the robot, and fill its water tank. This feature can be particularly beneficial for homes that have carpets, since it will help keep your floors in better condition rather than merely regular vacuuming. A clean mop can also be a big help in preventing spills and stains from forming on your carpet, which is the reason this is a feature worth considering when you purchase your next robotic vacuum.

If self-emptying base stations are right for you depends on your preference for convenience and budget. While it's nice not to have to empty the trash bin every two or three cleaning cycles The base station will still need to be cleaned every 30 or 60 days. This can be quite an inconvenience, and could cause a lot noise as it happens.

You can also find self-emptying robot vacuums that have bags that are not used, such as the iRobot Roomba i7+. The model has an external dust bin, which is less hygienic. However, it provides good performance on high-pile and unfinished floors. It also requires less maintenance and comes with lower cost of maintenance. It even comes with a scented air freshener device that neutralizes odors in the dustbin. The i7+ is also slightly more robust and has an easier setup and it can even create virtual boundary lines with its application.

Matrix Clean

The Shark Matrix Clean robot vacuum and mop comes with an incredible suction capacity and bagless bases that can hold up to 45 days of debris. It is also equipped with the brand’s Matrix Clean technology and Precision Home Mapping. This means that it can clean different floor types as well as tackle pet hair and other messes that have gotten stuck and leave no spot that are missed.

It's also easy to set up mopping schedules or even start a full home cleaning using the Shark RV754CA ION Robot Vacuum - Wi-Fi Connected app. You can utilize voice commands to control your robot, or create no go zones with your smart speakers. This makes it a great option for busy families who are looking to delegate tasks to robots.

It's also important to note that the robot isn't designed to clean carpeted rooms. If you have carpet it is necessary to manually take the mop pad off as it approaches. The Matrix Clean system is great in removing dust and dirt from floors that aren't cleaned.

Overall, the Shark Matrix is a solid 2-in-1 robot that's worth the cost. It has better overall debris collection than robot vacuums that are three or four times the cost and provides excellent carpet deep cleaning performance. It is also more durable than the previous Shark EZ Robot Vacuum RV912S WiFi Self-Emptying Base models and is charged faster.

That said, the Matrix isn't the most efficient robot vacuum for bare floors and it might be quicker to recharge. Its LIDAR mapping sensor enables it to navigate fairly quickly and accurately, but the coverage of rooms is lacking. Its hazards detection system may interpret harmless objects, like rug thickness, as a danger and get stuck climbing over them. There are other components that require periodic maintenance.

LIDAR Home Mapping

This feature is based on Lidar (light detection, and range) which measures distances using light pulses that bounce off of objects and bounce back to sensors. This data is used to construct 3D models of spaces that can be useful for a variety of purposes. It is often used in construction to calculate space requirements and develop blueprints. It's also utilized in movies and video games to create visual effects.

LiDAR is also gaining traction in the consumer market. Apple's recent integration in iPads and iPhones, for example is an example. It's used for enhanced reality experiences as well as to improve camera functionality. Google's Project Tango, which was short-lived, was another instance.

For homeowners, it could be an effective tool for home decoration, design and even renovation work. It allows homeowners to see the way their home will look and makes it easier for contractors and designers to understand their vision. It can also help to identify errors quickly, reducing the expense of reworks and potential delays.

CleanEdge Technology

Shark's Clean Edge technology lets the AI Ultra get to those difficult places around corners and baseboards. This feature is able to clean edges better than other robot vacuums by blowing extra air, and using a specific pattern.

Gstar's modular factory layout permits for faster production, a higher capacity of supply and reliable traceability. This means that you can be confident that you are receiving a top-quality module from a reliable supplier.

Clean Edge features a standard light and also an sanitisation light that cleans your floors with UVC light that emits with a higher intensity. It has been tested against 8 common microorganisms at five accredited labs around the world and has been confirmed to reduce them by as much as 99 percent.

Pet Hair Removal

This Shark robot mop and vacuum is simple to use. It is bagless and self-emptying. It also comes with a reusable mopping pad that is easy to clean. It also auto-charges, and always finds its dock. This eliminates the hassles of having to track down an additional cord. The only drawback here is that switching the vacuum head between vacuuming and mopping can be somewhat cumbersome, considering that the head is designed for each task.

This model makes use of an array of patterns to ensure that your floors are thoroughly cleaned. It also does a fantastic job of navigating and avoiding obstacles which other robot vacuums can struggle with. It also gets rid of pet hair very well and is a huge benefit for those with pets.

The model's mopping mode employs the Sonic mopping technology to scrub your floors efficiently. This is an improvement over other less Efficient Shark AV753 ION Robot Vacuum WiFi Connected mops. It's not as thorough as the Roborock S8+/S8, a more expensive model that's better at removing caked-on dirt and other particles.

If you consider that this robotic vacuum and mop is a highly-rated product, it's not that expensive. It's available in a bundle with a self-emptying base station for approximately $699 / PS559 / $899 AU$, or you can get it on its own without the base if you prefer. Overall, it's an amazing robot cleaner that's well worth your money and can simplify your life. It's not perfect, but it will require manual maintenance, such as emptying the dustbin and cleaning out the mop pad.
