Shark - Matrix Self-Empty Robot Vacuum RV2300S

This is what I have and it works amazing on both carpet and hardwood floors.i have a wet mop from roborock. But won't recommend get a robot vacuum with mop function because the technology is not there yet. And the model that works great cost over $1000.but for your budget this works amazing for use.i run mine everyday at full power and only have to vacuum once a week during shedding season. https://www.walmart.com/ip/1167212075?sid=10a7c2f6-91ba-40d8-9634-d5a5bb6096f0 To set expectations, the robot vacuum will not clean the Space the way you clean. It will maintain the condition of your space so you don't have to clean it frequently but you still need to deep clean maybe once a week. Think of it as cleaning 10% less clean everyday after a major cleaning but the do amazing if you pick up everyday that could get stock in the roller. I have been using sharks for almost 5 years and my first model is still working and I use it to clean the basement. Every 1-2year I get a replacement battery on Amazon and replacement brush and we are good as new.

Shark matrix - 10000 pa - no mop - less than 200 on Amazon with a 30 day dustbin. Thank me later 💯

It's the suction rating on the product description. Although some people believe the pa rating might be skewed or inaccurate from lab tests vs at home tests. What I can say is I bought it and it's amazing

I love my shark matrix v2300s (I think) - it picks up so much of my pet hair and rolls right over rugs and my hardwood. I love it for the pure power. I opted for non mop unit so it solely focused on vacuum power. My only complaint is I can't map my second story as it will delete my first story map. And it can't handle multi floor mapping (my second story). I bring it upstairs and let it clean but it won't generate the map so I can label the rooms ect. Overall a 4.8 out of 5 stars

Smooth sailing. The app is pretty straight forward. Your can set auto cleans every day. I can also do quick spot cleans 5 ft x 5 ft anywhere on my map. I set no go zones, I also can pick between eco mode, normal power and, heavy duty cleans. It's a little loud but not enough to throw me off. My dust bin also holds about 30 days worth of dust. It's my first robot and I'm loving it to be honest! I couldn't have made a better decision. Especially for the price point. I got it for 150 bucks on sale! Worth about 250-300 normally. Also uses lidar navigation which is clutch.

I can choose which room to clean or i can chose if I had an emergency clean up in a specific area. I wish I could see a map of the pattern in which it cleaned in the final report as well. Aside from that im extremely happy with it. I read reviews for like 2 months before putting the trigger on one. I also knew that everyone is trying to solve a slightly different problem with a robot. For example my problem was, I wanted a vacuum that could handle 3 short haired dogs shedding in between the work week. I also needed it to be pretty smart in regards to obstacles. I also needed it to handle rugs (I have a rug in my living room) and hardwood. I realized a mop on my unit wouldnt be so convenient as I have a lot of short hairs being released by my 3 dogs. And the wet mop would just make the hair stick to the ground. I had a long in depth convo with chat gpt in regards to recommendations. And I also watched a lot of just dad robot review videos. Find whats best for YOUR situation and go with it!

I had  original roombas for many years.   Saw a deal end of 2024 on Woot for refurbished Shark Matrix self emptying robotic vacuums.   Since then 7 friends and family have done the same  All are very happy,   great deal at $100-$t50.    My Aussie and I both shed a lot, it goes from carpet to tile and cleans throw rugs.     Last time I saw them on Amazon for about the same price

Shark matrix self-emptying. I like it because I can schedule it to run every evening. It’s moves from hard floor to rugs easily

I got the shark matrix with the self empty base without the mop. Works great and no issues with the app so far, I also like that It has Google home integration. I paid $200 at Costco, not sure I would pay much more than that. I would look into the refurbished ones I think they get down to like $150

Same here. I have a Dyson animal that I use once a week. I run the self emptying shark matrix the days I don’t use the Dyson. I don’t have carpet though and that seems to help. When we had carpet it required more effort on my part.

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.

Have had the Shark Matrix for a year now. Works fine. App is not the best, but the bot vacuums and mops the floor pretty well.

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.
