Shark robot vacuums compared: PowerDetect, Matrix and Navigator

In its favour

• Base washes the mop with 85°C water and dries it with 79°C air after every clean
• Up to 60 days of debris in the bin and up to 30 days of automatic water refills
• 180 minute runtime is the longest stated in the Shark range here

Good to know

• Shark gives no suction figure in Pa, which makes comparison with other brands harder
• Mop lift height on carpet is not stated, so check how it handles thick rugs

In its favour

• Bagless base needs no disposal bags, and Shark says it holds up to 45 days of dirt and debris.
• Self-cleaning, anti hair wrap brushroll designed to pick up more hair from carpets and hard floors.
• Matrix Clean takes multiple grid passes, and Recharge and Resume picks up where it left off.

Good to know

• No suction figure or runtime appears in the listing, which makes direct comparison difficult.
• Vacuum only, with no mopping, and a bagless bin has to be tipped out by hand.

In its favour

• Base empties debris into a 60-day bin and refills the water tank for up to 30 days.
• DirtDetect spots areas with more debris and boosts vacuuming, handy near pet beds and bowls.
• NeverStuck lifts the robot over obstacles and thresholds, and the pad is kept above carpet when mopping.

Good to know

• Neither a suction figure nor an anti-tangle brush is mentioned in the listing.
• The spec lists 120 V and a 12 oz cleaner bottle, so confirm UK plug and support before buying.

In its favour

• Matrix Clean grid passes give 30% better carpet cleaning versus Shark's RV2610WD single pass, according to Shark.
• Self-cleaning brushroll digs into carpet and is designed to resist hair wrap.
• Bagless HEPA base holds up to 60 days of debris with no bags to buy.

Good to know

• The listing does not say the mop lifts on carpet, so plan to remove the pad before vacuuming rugs.
• No suction figure in Pa is listed, and runtime is 110 minutes.

In its favour

• Bagless base holds up to 60 days of debris and uses True HEPA filtration.
• Matrix Clean makes a grid of passes over dirty areas for more thorough carpet cleaning.
• Sonic mopping scrubs hard floors 100 times per minute, with a Matrix Mop option for stains.

Good to know

• The base does not wash or dry the mop pads, so they need rinsing by hand.
• No Pa figure is listed and runtime is a shorter 110 minutes.

In its favour

• Base empties into a 60-day bin, refills the tank for up to 30 days and washes and dries the pad
• DirtDetect boosts suction on dirtier areas and takes extra mopping passes on stains
• Box includes two odour neutralising cartridges and a 300 ml starter bottle of floor cleaner

Good to know

• Navigation type is not spelled out on this listing, so confirm LiDAR if mapping matters
• The listing text reads like a rough translation, which makes some details unclear

In its favour

• The bagless base holds up to 60 days of debris and needs no disposal bags.
• Self-cleaning brushroll is designed against hair wrap on carpets and hard floors.
• Detects and avoids objects in its path, and resumes cleaning after recharging.

Good to know

• Runtime is listed at 60 minutes, the shortest here, so larger homes may need a recharge mid-clean.
• There is no mopping function and no Pa figure, only a comparison against a rival.
