Shark - IQ 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop RV2400WD Series

I don’t have experience with eufy robot vacuums but they make top notch stuff. I have 3 of their cameras and they work amazing. I definitely plan on getting more. I currently have the shark IQ 2-1 with detachable mop. I love it so far, I have 2 cats who she’d like crazy and I’m always amazed by how much hair that thing picks up Less than 100 on walmart right now: https://www.walmart.com/ip/2844894680?sid=90d0a03b-e478-43c8-9d2d-01ae53f1ebab

We got the shark iq 2 in 1 mop and vacuum model (I’ll link below) and for just my gf, me, and our two cats, it works really damn well. I was seriously surprised how much shit this thing was able to pull out. We vacuumed about once a week and this has made it so we only have to spot clean. The mop has been a live saver, I even used the spot clean the other day when my gf spilled in the kitchen and the little shark had no issues mopping it up. I feel like shark gets a lot of hate and I don’t know why. Could the battery life be better? Yes. Could the mopping hold more liquid? Yes. Has it changed how I clean my house? 10000%. I could recommend the shark all day. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Shark-IQ-2-in-1-Robot-Vacuum-and-Mop-with-Matrix-Clean-Navigation-RV2402WD/2844894680?classType=REGULAR&from=/search

I paid $298, which was on rollback at Walmart from $500 for my shark two and one matrix and I love it

Well listen I love mine there are a lot of different models and maybe I have a good one I don't know but I love it and the price is right

I have a shark IQ two in one, 298 down from 500 at Walmart. I wouldn't pay extra to have one detect me leaving the house.... I can turn it on before I leave or I can turn it on while I'm gone... The latter is useful if the battery is still needing to be charged when I leave. It has to mop every day or at least every other day to stay clean because it's not capable of deep cleaning. But that's easy because it vacuums and mops at the same time. I hardly ever use the vacuum only cartridge. I do if I've let two or three days go by so that way all the crumbs and dust and cat hair get vacuumed up

You have 30 days to return the vast majority of them. Just dive in! I started with one that was like $150 seemed too good to be true but it had all these glowing reviews on Amazon.. of course it was complete s***, but I learned from that what was important to me and what specifically to look for in the next one. I am completely in love with the one that I have and I only paid 298. Obviously it would be nice for it to wash its own mop pads and all of that fancy stuff, but I can't afford it. It self empties in vacuum only mode, but that doesn't really help me because I have all hard floors so I almost always have it vacuum and mop at the same time. What I like about this one, a $500 model that was on sale, is that it maps well, and the mopping is good enough that if I run it every day my floors stay clean enough to walk around barefoot or in socks. I'm not breaking my back to sweep, Swiffer and mop anymore and it's completely wonderful. I do not care that I have to switch out them up pads and refill the water myself. It's a shark IQ two in one matrix.. originally $500 I think it's $599 now at Walmart maybe because of the tariffs... The brush roll never gets stuck even though there's a long haired cat it has to pick up after. I bought extra mopping pads so that I can toss them in the washer and then dry on delicate setting. Best money I ever spent

I picked up a Sharp IQ 2 in1 vac mop for $98 at Walmart's After Thanksgiving Sale. It doesn't self empty the vac or fill the water for the mop and the mop only moves a little while being dragged around which is not as good as spinning mops. That said, I am perfectly happy for what I paid. I have a small apt with all tile and laminant and it keeps it much cleaner than my occasional mopping in the past. However I am dreaming of my next step up but at a cost of $450-650, it may be a while.

I have a shark matrix mop & vac. It’s okay, I didn’t get the self emptying one so I have to empty it daily with 2 high shedding dogs, the water reservoir has to be refilled almost daily as well and I only have it going in 3 rooms. I will say I’ve had it almost 15 months now and it ignores my no go zones, sometimes starts at random times and I haven’t found a way to update its software. I’ll definitely get something different next time, but I did enjoy it while it functioned properly.

I have a Shark Detect Pro on my main floor and a Shark IQ in my basement. I also have two long haired GSDs. I run the IQ daily and the Detect Pro twice a day. The rollers do tend to get hair wrapped around them but once or twice a week but I think that’s any robot vacuum. The single side brushes that come on the robots are lame. Amazon has replacements that have 3 brushes, I recommend those. The dust bin also needs to be emptied every week, not 30 days like advertised. I only have hard floors so I can’t comment on how it handles carpet. The app is terrible and I use Google Assistant to have the robots run according to my schedules.

Don't get a roomba. I got the J7+ for the pet and toy friendly avoidance options and half the time it isnt running because of a clog in the vaccuum bin or base station. The bin is usually easy to fix, but this last time it was the tube that goes to the bag (another expense i didnt have with the shark) and that required disassembly. It also burnt out its suction fan in the first month I had it, prompting a warranty replacement of the part which meant had to disassemble the unit, install the new part, and send back the defective part. Incredibly frustrating. Comparatively, my shark IQ that I sent to the basement for eating too many toys runs consistently and clogs *maybe* once every 3 months, but the shark app sucks nuts, and the model I have uses the black strips for keep-out zones so it just ran everywhere and I prayed it didnt eat any cables. Its very robust about going up and doen ledges, but it is also way more prone to tracking pet messes about, that happened once with a pile of cat vomit and I was a little traumatized.

I definitely see the utility of a robot vacuum, but I’d recommend having a good primary bagged vacuum first and then investing in a good bagged robot vacuum as a secondary. Not sure you’ll find that in your budget, so you might need to save up for it. FWIW, I have this one: https://www.tomsguide.com/reviews/shark-iq-robot-vacuum-review-map-out-and-clean-your-smart-home-for-under-dollar400 and it’s a piece of shit 3 years after buying it. It’s constantly trying to throw itself down the stairs and it gets lost a lot.

Please let me know if the app issues end up resolving. My prior Shark never did well mapping, but did clean well when it was running.

My prior vacuum is a now discontinued Shark IQ - I'm sure things have a changed a lot since then, but losing the Shark in the house has been one of my biggest gripes (gets lost at least every other day). Note, it did not have LiDAR. The S1 Pro definitely looks appealing, but I read a few people weren't thrilled with its carpet capabilities.

I just want to tell you how helpful these things are. I bought a SharkIQ (should have bought a roborock) when it was on deep discount on Prime day. What makes this different is that I have a big workshop/shed which is dusty/dirty and an absolute maze. The Shark managed over a few weeks get all the dust and dirt under control despite it not really being designed to work in this way and on rough concrete. I chose the shark specifically because it had brushes, not rubber rollers, not many with brushes and almost bought a Makita DRC300Z as that is more what is technically needed. (no HA integration and it requires connecting to the AP in the vac to control it via app, no infra mode at least when I was looking at it) Robot vacs are worth their weight in gold to many with ADHD. Many of us do not see mess, dust, dog hair etc. HA in general is scaffolding to help with my (and my wife's) neurodivergent wiring, and the vac is just a great addition to all this. Unfortunately the SharkIQ integration is having [ongoing issues with re-authentication](https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/123392) which appears to be Shark changing their API.

My shark IQ died after 1 year due to cliff sensors always detecting cliff in flat surface. Looked online and it seems pretty common with shark robots

No. We have a 2400' house with mostly stone flooring and a few rugs. We live in Arizona so it's a bit dusty. I had a Shark IQ and it would fill it's bin pretty quickly so I thought it was doing a good job on the floors. Then I got a Roborock from Costo with a mop. I was shocked. The waste water looked like tar for about 2 weeks. SO GROSS! Now it looks just mildly cloudy. Our floors were dirty and I just didn't know it. Ick. Super happy now.

Same one here. Super happy with it. I had no idea how dirty our floors were. They looked clean. We dusted and mopped. We had a Shark IQ. We thought they were clean. But nope. They were gross. For the first 2 weeks the waste water from the Roborock looked like thick mud. Now it's just mildly cloudy. Our floors look way different. Like they had just been honed (that's a thing you do now and again with stone floors - don't ask - its a horrific procedure).

My old Roomba was retired after it found a wet dog turd and poo-buttered my entire apartment. My Shark IQ is much better but it gets tangled up or stuck fairly often. Floor grates, cords but even things like a plate of dog food (which can get gross). My Roborock does a lot better at avoiding things but a cell phone charger cord can still clog him up pretty bad. No way to avoid it, if you want a good job you really do have to pick up clutter.

My shark IQ would do that. Many times we found a shoe that was in run room ended up being in another room he he he. That shark IQ was a brute. Once I did a mapping of the house, it was very graceful and gentle around the boundaries but anything such as dog toys or shoes left about would be pushed away. Basically, I had to baby proof my house for it to work more efficient Anyway, I’ve upgraded to a iRobot that’s supposed to go around any object objects in the way

I like my Shark honestly. It’s an old IQ so I am sure they have even better ones now. It’s quiet, has worked for years, self empties, you can easily get filters, picks up my hair and my cats, dust, carpet fiber, crumbs, good filter system, small dock and the vac fits under furniture. I think the Roomba is really loud got one and returned it. The Roborock is pretty big and good at mopping but worse than my shark at vacuuming. Also hard to get replacements filters and the filter system isn’t the best for allergies.

We have 2 Shark IQ

I started with one that was $60 to see how I liked it. Now I have one that is about $300 (prime day) on the main and lower levels of our home. When the time comes, I’ll probably upgrade to a $600+ one. I enjoy Shark because of the self cleaning brush roll, but strongly recommend one with room mapping technology. I also do prep the rooms before I send out the vacuums with a visual check for spills and clearing any toys that could get stuck.

I still have the first shark vac mop pro AI. Mops better than my modern day dreame, doesn’t tangle with hair and cleans like a beast. I forgot to mention that. Shark has an excellent brush roll airflow system.

My Shark is just over one year old out of warranty. I was very happy with it but it just stopped dispensing cleaner when mopping. A common problem with these. There is no fix for it. I’ve tried everything.

I'm quite happy with the Shark vac mop that I got about a week ago. I paid $600. I know Shark isn't often a recommended brand on here but I've had great luck with them. I'm happy with both the mop & vacuum features on this. It can tell the difference between carpet & hard floor & it is very thorough.

I have two Shark ones now and it's one of my fav home items. I have the mop and vac one.

I think it works pretty good! I use the floor cleaner that goes with the machine and think it's super helpful. I still will mop myself here or there but it def does a great job. I don't see any streaks when it's done.

Yesss it works great!

What vacuum is this? I’ve been trying difference vac/mop robots I just had the Shark matrix clean and it was terrible would just leak water everywhere when “mopping” was only good as a vacuum but this one looks like it did an amazing job. I also have a carpet in my living room which send the robot for a loop. It wouldn’t know what to do. Sometimes mopping the carpet or skipping it altogether lol.

I have a shark matrix right now it does a good enough job

I use a Shark Matrix. It self empties and has a lot of features for its price point. It uses both bumpers and LiDAR to navigate around and vacuums up GSD and Lab fur really well.

I like our Shark Matrix. Low cost (relatively), no mop, no bags (empties into a removable plastic bin), and the app is decent. Have been running for a few months and it’s good. We have a dog also (medium hair length). Picks up the hair really well. The claim of 30-days before emptying is BS, as that’s based on a non pet hair household. I auto run it 3 times a week and empty maybe 1-2 times a week. Once every other week it will get stuck, but for the most part it handles the terrain and the thresholds, and jumps onto an area rug well. We also have some new rugs, so they are “shedding” a lot, which makes me empty more often. I think I got it for about $279 around the holidays, but have seen them lately in the low $300’s on Amazon.

That’s crazy. I’d hate that too. How old is it / what model. I’ve never had anything like that happen. I have had it stop because the roller needs clearing, which I now clean about once a week.

I would offer a couple of things. We have a medium length hairy dog. It’s whey we got a robovac, tbh. We got a shark matrix (not selling you this one, just commenting on features I think are important to understand). We’ve had one a few months and it’s a life changer, imho. Two features I’d look for in any vac are rollers that won’t tangle because they have some advanced feature of some sort, and a self emptying bin, not a bag, a bin. I didn’t realize what an advantage the bin would be, and lucked into this feature, because I wasn’t purposely shopping for it. Maybe bags last long and compact the do hair, idk. Our “30 day bin” has a little dirt and is full of a hair ball in a week. I’d ask folks with dogs how long bags last. I’d want to make sure they aren’t ripping through them at a cost you aren’t expecting. Other than that, I love having a robovac, no more hairballs floating all around the house. Enjoy.

It is difficult to find what you need at your price point. You need a mop, good object avoidance and hair pickup due to the pets. So you kind of have to sacrifice in one area. Increase the price or reduce a feature or two. You could do without the object avoidance if you don't run a schedule and check the floors for objects every time you run the robot. Shark matrix is an old version. If you buy a Shark brand, it's mainly for being bagless. Bags are a way for these companies to hide the price of the robot, since you have to keep buying bags at $5 each. I would recommend RV2820YE if you go for shark brand due to it being the cheapest option with no bags, good object avoidance and a mop but it's a little more than what you wanted to spend. I've had a shark for a few years and it works well but I do have to clear the floors for it before running. I'm getting a AV2820S for $400 because it has better object avoidance but doesn't have the complication of a mop, the odor cartridges or the added cost of bags. You probably need a mop though. Irobot J7+ doesn't have a mop so it would leave behind mud from dogs but it has the best object detection, so it won't hit poop. That won't matter if you check your floors before running it. The Euphy L60 doesn't have a mop and the version that does, doesn't work very well unless you get the $800 version. Roborock Qrevo S is on sale now for $460 on Amazon and that's what I would get if I were you. It has good reviews, dual spinning mops, self empty base and object avoidance (though not the best). I don't like that it uses bags that run up the cost over time but maybe the cheaper off brand bags work okay? https://www.amazon.com/roborock-Qrevo-Self-Drying-Self-Emptying-Refilling/dp/B0CTZXJTGJ?tag=vwads3-20&th=1

It seems the general consensus from all the aggregate data here is this: Don’t get Roomba or Shark (wish I’d found this sub before buying my Shark Matrix) they’re the market leaders and lean heavily on brand recognition so they’re very feature poor compared to the competition. Roborock seems to be the far and away most recommended if you’re willing to spend the money. They aren’t cheap but seem to have the best software. It does seem that universally the hardware is good enough these days. There’s not tons of meaningful competition on that side and it’s all the software side of things. The budget market has a less clear winner but going with one of the Asian brands is still the way to go.

Roomba 105 said “docking? never heard of her.” If nav + no-go zones matter, go Roborock Q5 for laser brain, pet-hair beast. Shark Matrix is better than old Shark, but still a bit lost sometimes. Just pick the smart one.

I have a shark matrix that has been chugging along and doing a good job! Sometimes I need to remap the room when we loose power for extended periods and the vacuum dies.

My Roborock quervo that I got two weeks ago has been incredible. We had a shark matrix because it didn’t have bags, but made a compromise to upgrade. It is like watching a Zamboni drive across the floor when it is mopping.

We have the shark matrix and love it! Many cats and it keeps up! Much less than you're willing to spend at target. Edit for grammar

Shark Matrix from Costco. We’ve had it for more than a year and so far it’s been doing all right. I’d recommend it to anyone wanting a reliable vacuum.

I have a Shark Matrix (~$300) and love it! I was skeptical at first but it works so well with getting up dog hair and sand/dirt. It's very low maintenance too.

My Shark Matrix has them also and it's a game changer. I would find myself cutting massive tangles of cat hairs out of my Roomba's roller brush every couple of days!

Another vote here for the shark matrix. We have 4 cats and it makes a major difference at a small price

We have a shark matrix and really love it, though the app is a bit…unfriendly.  Definitely recommend looking for one with self emptying, I have friends with a roomba that doesn’t have self emptying and they mention it every time they see ours 😂

I have laminate flooring with low pile area rugs and use a Shark Matrix robot vacuum. I did a lot of research before buying it because I have long hair and it gets everywhere. LOL. (Seriously. I've had trouble with upright vacuum cleaners in the past.) I also have 2 low-shedding dogs. I bought the vacuum from Costco specifically because of their return policy. I'm really happy with it. I think it would work well with golden retriever hair, but I don't know about cat hair. In my experience, cat hair is very fine, especially the undercoat. One very important thing you should know is that most (if not all) robot vacuums have problems with objects on the floor. Every time I use the vacuum, I have to pick up all of the dog toys, their water bowl, their dog beds, any shoes that I've left on the floor, etc. I don't know how old your kids are, but you'll have problems if they leave things on the floor.

I have a dog and two cats. We have a shark matrix and a roomba. Both vacuums work really well on hard surfaces, which is mostly what we have. Neither does great on carpet or rugs, but if we run the robots once day, we can get away with only vacuuming the rugs once a week to once a month. They work much better for maintenance than for deep cleaning.

I LOVE my Shark Matrix. I have both the regular one and the mopping combo.

We have the Shark Matrix and it does a good job in vaccuming. Only con I have with it is that they don't allow multi floor mapping.

My parents gave me a Shark Matrix for Christmas, and all I could get it to do was spot clean by putting it where I wanted. Though that might have been user error.

We have a roomba j7 and shark matrix. The roomba is "smarter" but the shark is more adventurous. They both do alright. We have a lab/golden mix dog and a cat.

What about a Shark Matrix? They self empty and hold a lot of dirt and do a good job cleaning. I have the Shark AI (which is $279 on amazon) and I love it. Dustbin is big and no bag required, super easy to dump. It has a few filters that you need to find and clean, but I really like that too. It's got some HEPA stuff. It works hard and doesn't freak out too often; the app is pretty solid.

I have 2 versions of shark matrix. Planning on getting another once the basement renovation is finished. I run mine every weekday morning due to having a high shedding dog. My older one isn’t doing so good atm, having issues self emptying but otherwise reliable.

Recently purchased the Shark Matrix and love it. I have 3 dogs that shed like crazy and it’s been working wonders vs the Roomba I previously had. Would’ve got a Roborock but unfortunately the funds weren’t there. The Shark app is super easy to navigate, too. My house is 95% hard wood and it does not get stuck.

I have the matrix shark and like it. The app is really not that bad although can’t see the robot moving around the map with the matrix version. I can set no-go zones.

My shark matrix doesn't have a lot going for it, but the brush roll is a great design. All vacuum manufacturers should copy it.

I have a shark matrix Tbh I love the vacuum part of it. It self empties which is great. I hate hate hate the mopping feature. The pad stays dirty and I constantly have to change it out and never feel like it really gets my floors clean. I wish I didn't even get one with that feature. The vacuuming and mapping aspect though is top tier. So I honestly just mop or use my shark 2in1 vacmop for when I need to really deep clean my floors. Edit - i have 4 dogs, only one primary shedder, full time then 2 more shedders part time when my partner comes over weekly as wel as 3 cats. Then also a small kid. Down side tk the kid is she sometimes let's markers or colored pencils/crayons go under the couches which then get caught in the vacuum. Being woken up by a "my brush roll is stuck" from a deep sleep is very creepy 😂 I will say though, I got it originally when I had 5 shedding dogs jn the house hold full time and I also still live on the same cotton farm. It really keeps up with the dog hair tumbleweeds and dirt.

There are ionic robovacs that actually pick up a lot of dirt. They are not very smart so you have to block off stuff you don’t want them to clean but they love to pick up animal hair. I would probably buy one or two of those and a swiffer and not buy my shark matrix if I had it to do over again. When I had the ion vac I had it run 2x per day and had to empty it daily. If I had 2 I would alternate one to clean at night and one in the morning and

I love our Shark Matrix and it was affordable but I haven’t tried anything else so nothing to compare it to. I will research them all when this Shark stops working to see if there is anything that just cleans better. I like the thought of a vacuum and mop option but wasn’t sure if it was better to get a dedicated vacuum and dedicated mop to do a better job. Also, mopping at my house isn’t that difficult since I bought this mop: https://a.co/d/gfpCS3s I use the Shark vacuum and then follow up with a quick mopping.

I love my shark matrix for Budget pick. Also any eufy or ecovacs would be good. Roborock just had a sale. I recently got my dad a shark matrix for his birthday and he loves it!

My husband works for a masonry company. You can literally see the trail of cement and mortar dust he leaves when he walks through the house when he gets home. Doesn't matter if he changes into a clean work shirt after work before getting home, or if he shakes his boots off before coming inside. He gets in the shower and I turn on my little robot and he takes care of it all. I have a shark matrix robot (i can't recall the exact name) but that little robot does a wonderful job. He also can auto empty himself and will do so if he's in the middle of a job and gets too full, he goes back to his dock, dumps his collections, and goes right back to vacuuming until the room is done. Constantly sweeping up after my husband got old super quick. If I could set that robot to just follow him around I would. I only gotta sweep stuff out of corners or places I know Mr. Robot can't easily get to. But i love him, he's part of the family, and his name is Lenny the shark. He has googly eyes.

I have the shark matrix and love it. Self emptying is a must.

I have the shark matrix and love it! I run it about 3x a week because half the time I can’t be bothered to pick up before bed. We run it when we go to bed. It’s pretty loud but doesn’t keep me awake.

Four doggos… from 65lbs to just under 100lbs. We have three of the newer shark matrix models from Costco. 10/10. The only run in the downstairs covering about 2200 sqft. With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. Life changing.

Fail. The tail furs are too long and strong and the roller kept snapping. I had the pet model too. Gave it away and have been happier with the Dyson and a handheld

I've got a Shark something-or-other that has a "matrix clean" function (Dreame does something similar, I think) where after it finishes an area/room, it goes back and does it again running perpendicular to the run it just finished. I don't have any idea about the *actual* efficacy, but my spouse ("it's not vacuumed until you've gone over the same spot in 3 different directions") ***loves*** it. Since 'perception is reality', our carpets are cleaner because my spouse perceives them to be so.

When I wanted an upgrade from our old roomba that didn’t have a mapping feature we went with the Shark, and I like it way more! Ours is self emptying, has a mapping feature that allows me to pick which rooms it cleans, and the wheels just seem beefier than the roombas, it doesn’t get stuck as often
