Customer reviews for Shark Matrix Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum With 30-Day Dock forMember photos
Don't
Worked for 4 months and now can't get it to do anything. Tried all the online support, but nothing has fixed my problem. Shark makes it very hard to contact a live person about a problem
Hello there,<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it must be to have your unit stop working after just a few months, especially after trying all the online support options without success. This isn’t the level of support or performance we want for our customers, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We do have several ways to connect with a live representative, including Facebook and Instagram, where our team can assist you directly. You’re also welcome to reach out to us by phone, which is the primary way to speak with a product specialist. You can give us a call at 1‑888‑228‑5531, where one of our product specialists will be more than happy to take a closer look at what’s going on with your unit.<br />We're available Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. ET, and Saturday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. ET.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br />Shark Home
Not worth it for the price.
To start off, I automatically don't recommend this because it's obstacle avoidance is pure garbage. This thing will just push objects until it either gets its wheels caught or pushes an object into a wall. For example in my picture, it somehow doesn't see there was a power cord under the couch. So even while getting resistance, it forced its way further into the couch to get stuck and the power cord to wrap around the side brush. Another huge issue is you cannot schedule cleanings for specific rooms, the only option is the whole house. So if you want to only do one room, you're forced to create no-go zones for the entire house except the one room. If you then want to do the whole house, you have to remove the zone, have it clean, then put the zones back afterwards for your schedule. Supposedly more expensive models let you schedule specific rooms. If that is the case, that is a poor excuse because there realistically is no reason to prevent this model from doing it. A third issue is the cleaning roller will get tangled with hair easily. On the first use, it was already full of hair. Also if you have pets, the 30 day storage is completely false. It literally filled up on the first cleaning. I honestly recommend looking for a different brand.
Hello George. Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced with obstacle avoidance, scheduling options, hair tangling, and bin capacity. This is not the experience we want for our customers. If you’d like, our support team can assist with troubleshooting and provide tips to help minimize these issues, or recommend a model that better suits your needs. Feel free to reach out to us at 1-855-427-5127 (Monday to Friday: 9 AM to 9 PM ET and Saturday: 9 AM to 6 PM ET). Kind regards, Shark Robot.
Bad app, user interface, and cleaning settings.
This vacuum is terrible. The app always forgets your login. And it goes out to clean and does a partial clean most times. It's not set to do that it just quits and goes back to the doc without a reason. The logic within the app is also terrible, I have a small first floor- easily small enough to do the Matrix clean on one charge, but it won't let you do that option unless you choose a single room to do it. That's a manual process. And we put it on do not disturb once when someone was sleeping on the couch and now it puts itself on Do not disturb all the time without us wanting that. It's a complete fail of a vacuum.
Hello Jefferson, thank you for your review and for bringing this to our attention. We’re disappointed to hear about your experience, as this isn’t our usual standard, and we completely understand how frustrating this must be. You mentioned that the app often forgets your login, the vacuum quits mid-clean and returns to the dock without reason, the Matrix clean option is difficult to use, and the Do Not Disturb setting keeps activating on its own. We truly appreciate you sharing these details.<br />Please contact our customer service team at 1-888-228-5531, available Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Your concerns have been noted, and we’ll take the appropriate steps to get this resolved. Kind regards, Shark Clean NA
This thing is fantastic back saver!
I owned the first generation robots and swore I would never own another one, but this is a complete game changer! It mapped my house by itself. I edited the map and labeled the rooms. Now I can tell it which rooms to clean, it does it, returns to base and empties the contents. Cleaning under the beds was a pain, but not anymore! Dogs don't know what to think of it but there have not been any issues. It's not too loud and does a great job on the dog hair. It does not do well with cords, but none of them will. If you are on the fence, just do it! You will love it!
falls very short of expectations
unit was very hard to get paired. had to reconnect 3 different times. got an update from shark and had to go thru a lot of crap to get it reconnected. then, the small guide wheel dissappeared. had to call and they had no wheels in stock. now, they are sending a new unit. too much crap for me.
Hello Bradley, thank you for your feedback and for highlighting this issue. We're sorry to learn about your experience with the unit, particularly the challenges with pairing, the need for multiple reconnections after an update, and the disappearance of the small guide wheel. When you reached out for assistance, you found out that the wheels were out of stock. Your insights are incredibly important to us as they help us enhance our products and services for you and others in the future. We're pleased we could resolve the issue by sending you a new unit. Kind regards, Shark Clean
Doesn't clean well, and brush keeps falling out
I purchased this to replace a Shark Robot that I had for about 5 years. It was so good, I figured any Shark would be similar. I was wrong. This robot never started at the scheduled time, and then would run for about 30 minutes, dock and then run again 3 hours later. It didn't clean even remotely as good as my other one, I still had little bits of crumbs on the floor. The little brush kept coming off and I would have to look around the house to try to locate it. I think it finally got lost under one of the beds. I wish I could have my old vacuum back!!

I could not hate this thing any more than I do
I could not hate this thing any more. The new lidar replaces the technology that used to work with the magenetic strips. We have furniture with open bases. The robot constantly climbs up on the bases and scratches them up and gets stuck. Talked with support many times. Set up "no-go" zones. They don't work...such a waste of time. Revised them multiple times to the point where half the room was cut off, still it doesn't obey the "no-go"zones 95% of the time. It's loud. And now, its six months old and we keep getting a notice that the lidar is blocked by dust. The troubleshooting tips are useless. I had to resort to a Reddit thread to figure out how to fix this problem, which occurs frequently. Oh, and the app keeps logging me out. Huge pain. I hate this thing so much. I've had two other sharks that I had for years. They were great. This one is trash. It cleans well... that's about all I can say positive about it.

I tried this vaccuum twice, hoping the first was just a bad one. But nope, returning this one too. It did great for about 2 weeks, now when I tell it to clean, it just undocks, spins around a few times and docks again, saying task complete, no matter what room I tell it to clean. I've checked everything, nothing is stuck or broken. Do not recommend.
