"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."
"Four doggos… from 65lbs to just under 100lbs. ... 10/10."

"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"splurge for the self emptying because if you have to empty it every time you're less likely to use it. We only have to empty ours like once a month and I have a 14mo and a 3yo who drop crumbs everywhere. ... we have a Shark with a large self emptying bin and that thing is great for the price point."

"the only robot vacuum that didn’t clog or burn out was the self emptying shark one ... it’s been going three years strong."

"The Shark has a never-stuck option so once it is stuck and you untangle it, then it remembers and will not get stuck again."

"It maps way better too, plus it does the whole map in one pass. ... The roomba didn't properly map my house for 3 months."
"I can set no-go zones."
"it is also so much smarter than the older cheaper brand I had that would constantly get stuck and just bounce around the rooms willy-nilly. This one maps it out and covers all the floor space efficiently."

"Oh yeah, the 30 day bin does not apply to shepherd and husky owners in any way shape or form!!"
"If it doesn't get run at least once a day, the roller brush will get clogged."

"can’t see the robot moving around the map with the matrix version"
JellySignificant8964 0.6Keep the shark. In my experience they last a lot longer than roomba.
Curious_Jag2025 0.4I 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
Illustrious_Dust_0 0.4Shark matrix self-emptying. I like it because I can schedule it to run every evening. It’s moves from hard floor to rugs easily
TheWorstMigrane 0.3I 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!
casteezyboy 0.1I 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
BakedMasa 0.1Same 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.
juno7032 0.1Fail. 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
alltheasparagus1 0.1I love shark matrix!
Antares135 0.1I 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.
Bender077 0.1Have 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.
