Intro
The Shark Matrix Plus Robot Vacuum is a self-emptying, navigation-driven robot designed to handle everyday dirt, pet hair and routine floor care with minimal user intervention. It combines what Shark calls a precision cleaning grid, a self-emptying, bagless base, and 360° LiDAR mapping to cover hard floors and carpets with a focus on edge and pet-hair performance.
Who it’s for: busy households, pet owners, and anyone who wants a largely hands-off vacuuming routine for mixed floor types. Quick verdict: if you want a vacuum that automatically clears itself and prioritizes edges and pet hair, this model is a strong practical choice.
What’s in the Box
- Shark Matrix Plus Robot Vacuum
- Self-Empty Base (bagless)
- Filter
- (1) Side Brush
If you need extras (additional brushes, replacement filters or filters packs), those are not included unless you purchase separately. Not specified: extra filters/brushes quantity beyond the single side brush that ships in the box.
Design & Build
Shark’s listing emphasizes functional components more than cosmetic details. The robot itself uses a brushroll designed to resist hair wrap and a “precision grid” cleaning path to make multiple passes over debris. The base is bagless and engineered to capture and hold debris for up to 30 days between manual emptying (source: listing, checked 2025).
Materials: the vacuum and base are typical plastic construction similar to other consumer robot vacuums; specific casing materials and finish are not specified. Important measurements such as diameter, height/clearance and unit weight are not listed, so if you have very low furniture clearance or need a lightweight unit for frequent moves, confirm dimensions with the seller before buying.
Ergonomics: because the base handles emptying, day-to-day interaction is mostly limited to occasional filter checks and spot maintenance. Controls and app connectivity (and voice assistant support) remove most physical steps from regular use.
Key Features
Precision Grid Cleaning (Matrix Clean)
What it does: The system is designed to pass over the same areas multiple times in a grid pattern to reduce missed spots.
Why that matters: Repeated passes can help with stubborn dust lines and scattered debris, especially in high-traffic zones where a single pass may leave residue. In practice, you’ll likely see cleaner carpets and hard floors after a scheduled run compared with a single-pass strategy.
Powerful Suction for Carpets and Hard Floors
What it does: Shark advertises strong suction capable of lifting dirt and debris from both rugs and bare floors.
Where it helps: High-traffic living areas, entryways and pet zones benefit from suction that can transition between floor types. Note: exact suction power (Pa or AirWatts) is not listed in the manufacturer details.
Self-Emptying, Bagless Base (Up to 30 Days)
What it does: After each cleaning cycle the robot returns to a bagless base and empties its internal bin into a larger receptacle that Shark says holds up to 30 days of dirt and debris (source: listing, checked 2025).
Where it helps: This removes one of the main chores of robot ownership — frequent emptying of the robot bin. In a household with moderate shedding, 30 days of accumulation reduces maintenance trips and mess. The bagless approach avoids replacement bag purchases, but you’ll still need to maintain filters and the base receptacle periodically.
Self-Cleaning Brushroll — Anti-Hair Wrap
What it does: The brushroll is engineered to reduce hair wrapping, and the vacuum uses a self-cleaning action to pull pet hair into the suction path.
Where it helps: Homes with dogs and cats will find less brush maintenance and fewer tangles that degrade cleaning performance. Expect fewer manual brushroll clears compared with traditional brushroll designs.
360° LiDAR Precision Mapping
What it does: The robot uses 360° LiDAR sensors to build a map of your home, enabling accurate navigation both day and night.
Where it helps: Mapping helps plan efficient routes, lets the robot return to missed areas, and gives you the ability to select whole-home, room or spot cleans from the app. This is particularly useful for multi-room homes or when you want targeted cleaning on a schedule. (Described as 360° LiDAR vision in the listing.)
Object Detect & Intelligent Avoidance
What it does: The system can detect and navigate around objects in its path rather than repeatedly bumping them.
Where it helps: It reduces the chance of tangled cords or nudged items and improves overall run efficiency by minimizing stops and redirects near obstacles.
CleanEdge Detect — Better Edge Cleaning
What it does: A feature branded as CleanEdge Detect uses blasts of air to draw debris from corners into the robot’s cleaning path. Shark claims this delivers up to 50% better edge cleaning (source: listing, checked 2025).
Where it helps: Corners, baseboards and the seam between floor and wall are common places for build-up; this feature specifically targets those areas for improved pickup.
Voice and App Control
What it does: You can start whole-home, room or spot cleans with the app, and the robot supports voice control through Google Assistant and Alexa.
Where it helps: For fast control when your hands are full or when you want a quick spot clean, voice commands and app taps provide frictionless activation.
Performance & Use
Real-world setup: Place the base on a flat surface against a wall with a clear area around it so the robot can dock and undock without obstruction. The bagless base’s 30-day claim reduces the frequency of manual emptying; however you should inspect the base and the included filter monthly — frequency depends on home size and pet shedding.
Scheduling: Use the app to schedule runs during low-traffic hours or overnight. The LiDAR mapping works in darkness, so night-time or low-light cleaning won’t hinder navigation.
Pet homes: Keep a light eye on the brushroll in the first few weeks to see how well the anti-wrap system handles your pet’s fur. Remove any long hair or knotted fur if it starts to accumulate despite the anti-wrap design.
Maintenance tips:
- Filter and brush checks: Even with a self-emptying base, filters and the brushroll require occasional attention. The listing includes one filter; plan to purchase replacements per the manufacturer’s maintenance guidance (frequency not specified in the listing).
- Base cleaning: Empty the base receptacle if you notice diminished capacity or odors, even if it hasn’t hit 30 days. Bagless designs require occasional wiping or rinsing per the user manual (specific care instructions not specified).
- Mapping adjustments: If you rearrange furniture or change the household layout, trigger a new mapping run so the LiDAR map reflects current conditions.
Limitations noted: The listing does not specify battery life, run time per charge, exact device dimensions or weight, or suction wattage. If these metrics are critical to your decision, confirm them with the seller before purchase.
Pros vs Cons

Was pretty disappointed in my reversed shark. The bristles were bent and warm and the moment I opened it I could smell a new but dirty vacuum smell. When I plugged it in and placed it on the doc it stated to empty. And after emptying twice and not cleaning anything it told me the base was full and needed to be emptied. It had nothing in it. After I downloaded the app and tried searching it it couldn’t find it, even after multiple troubleshoots.
I’m sad and disappointed. I was so looking forward to using this
Ashley Rose Smith –
I’ve been on the hunt for a robot vacuum that can keep up with my busy life and messy house, and the Shark UR2360S Ultra Robot Vacuum has absolutely blown me away! From the moment I set it up, I could tell this little machine meant business. It’s packed with features that make it a standout—like Matrix Clean, precision mapping, and that glorious 30-day capacity self-emptying base. Honestly, it’s like having a tiny, tireless cleaning assistant that doesn’t complain about pet hair or crumbs.
First off, the setup was a breeze. I downloaded the Shark app, connected it to my Wi-Fi, and within minutes, this thing was zipping around my house, mapping every nook and cranny with its LIDAR-powered precision. The map it created was spot-on—my open-plan living area, tricky corners, and even the cluttered spots under furniture were all accounted for. I love that I can schedule cleanings or send it to specific rooms right from my phone. It’s like giving it a mission, and it executes it flawlessly.
The cleaning power? Impressive. I’ve got a dog that sheds like it’s her full-time job, and the self-cleaning brushroll on this vacuum handles it like a champ. Pet hair, dust, and even the occasional cereal spill (thanks, kids) get sucked up without a hitch. The Matrix Clean feature is a game-changer—it goes over areas in a grid pattern, ensuring nothing gets missed. I’ve noticed my floors looking consistently cleaner than they ever did with my old manual vacuum.
The self-emptying base is the real MVP here. With a HEPA filter and a 30-day capacity, I barely have to think about maintenance. It’s loud for a few seconds when it empties, sure, but that’s a small price to pay for not having to deal with a dusty bin every day. Plus, knowing it’s trapping allergens makes me feel better about the air quality in my home.
It’s not perfect—sometimes it struggles with really deep carpet or tiny debris right up against walls, and I’ve had to rescue it from a rogue sock or two—but those are minor gripes. The battery life is solid, usually lasting about an hour before it heads back to recharge, and it picks up right where it left off. For the price, especially if you snag it renewed like I did, it’s an incredible value.
Pros: Amazing mapping, awesome pet hair pickup, and the self-emptying feature is a dream. Cons: Could use a bit more oomph.

This vacuum does its job well — it keeps my home clean and is fairly easy to maintain. I don’t have pets, but it picks up human hair effectively, and the suction handles debris on my LVP floors with no problem. The app, however, is frustrating. The mapping feature is easy to use but doesn’t allow remapping a single room, so I had to remap the entire home to fix one area. The vacuum’s start time after sending a command is inconsistent — sometimes it begins immediately, but often it takes several minutes and multiple attempts. The app’s estimated cleaning times are also inaccurate. If you can tolerate the app’s quirks, this is a good vacuum for the price.

We absolutely love our refurbished Shark. I was skeptical at first because the price was so low, but it felt worth the gamble — I bought it on Prime Day. I’d seen this model work well at my roommates’ place (it handled two large huskies’ hair), so I had confidence in the brand. Our home is about 1,500 sq ft and it takes two passes to clean everything, pausing to charge about an hour between runs. Be sure to charge it a couple of hours out of the box since it won’t start mapping until the battery is topped up. Once charged it maps the house quickly and gets to work. We were surprised how much dirt it picks up each week even though we remove shoes at the door and have no pets. It avoids most large objects easily — the only thing it won’t dodge is cords, so don’t leave anything hanging on the floor (it dragged one of my phone chargers under the bed once). Suction is excellent on our laminate floors, bathroom tile, and rugs. We chose a heavier rug so it wouldn’t get stuck and haven’t had any issues; it feels sturdy and has worked great in the month we’ve had it. As a refurbished unit it looked brand new, with original stickers still attached — you wouldn’t know it wasn’t new.

The media could not be loaded.
This thing has been an absolute game changer in the never-ending battle of keeping my home clean.
The setup was an absolute breeze. You just connect it to your Wi-Fi. Enter the password. Follow the on-screen prompts. Hit a few buttons and it starts wandering around the house to map it.
Depending on which setting you choose. The vacuum can either be whisper, quiet or somewhat loud, but not intolerable, everything this thing comes across it picks up. The suction is amazing. It cleans the carpets and the rugs just as well as a stand-alone regular vacuum.
I was legitimately shocked after checking the empty bin by just how much this little floor robot vacuum picked up in its first two runs after setting it up, My floors have never felt so clean and debris free even with sweeping and vacuuming everyday. This is an absolute game changer. I would recommend at least giving it a try.
I also want to point out that it is indeed sturdy. It’s it’s funny whenever the little vacuum bumps into a table leg or chair leg and then backs up and does a little back and forth to make check what it bumped into.
If you’re on the fence I would recommend getting the two year warranty that way you have ease of mind.

I’ve been using the vacuums (bought 2, one for the main floor , one for the bedrooms) for two weeks now, so my initial thoughts are…
I’m really very pleased with them. We have two Siberian Huskies and two cats, one being a double coated short haired (she obviously has some Russian Blue in her because that undercoat is all thick fluffy, she’s the very definition of ‘plush’) and they do a phenomenal job with the fur.
I run them once a day, because even if it were winter and the Huskies were shedding less, you don’t know fluff until you’ve had a husky (let alone two. You *have* to vacuum every day) and they get the majority of the fur. Yes if I use the canister vac, which I do about every other week now, I will pick up a little more, but all things considered, the robots’ suction is very good. A full size vacuum will always have more suction because of size, but the robots manage to do a very good job.
I love that I can just schedule cleanings and not have to worry about it. They’re very reliable that they start going every morning at 10 am whether I’m home alone not.
They stick to the map pretty well. Every so often they seem to have a day where they just aren’t on their game and they skip things (even though nothing seems to be blocking their paths). I generally go through the house first thing in the morning and make sure everything is out of the way, no stray socks or dog toys.
I have two issues, the main floor robot (we named it Wall-E) get overly confused in the kitchen. It spent about 30 minutes one day (that I know of) bouncing around in the tiny kitchen going over and over the same track. The day before it zipped through there just fine. The other issue is the bedroom floor robot (Eve) ignores the no go zone, and often get throughly confused by it when trying to enter the room next to the no go zone. The app also always wants to go in set up with Eve, if I just x out of that, it sees her and everything that was already set up. It’s not a big deal, it started happening after the WiFi went out one day, I suppose if I just tinkered with it it would sort out, but it’s really only an issue if I need to recall her to her base. Otherwise it acts like it’s set up, just have to x out of screens if I need to use the app for her.
Besides the minor issues, I have to give them a top rating. They do their jobs really well, I love not having to vacuum every day and love not having fur everywhere. And the cat finds it endlessly entertaining chasing down the little side brushes as the robots go about their jobs.

This was a refurbished Matrix and I paid $99 for it, I really do like it, I think it does a great job of picking up pet hair and overall vacuuming. I’m using daily to keep up with boxer dog hair on a luxury vinyl floor and area rugs. It’s pretty quiet, mapped out the floor well. The dirt bucket is easy to dump and I was shocked at how much the robot picked up! It is saving me time to where I only need use my big vacuum every few days. (Which is also a shark brand!) the only complaint is it can’t find its dock which I believe to be a slight inconvenience and something that was missed when refurbished. I really don’t want to go to the trouble in sending it back for that. Now if it were a brand new unit that I paid full price for I would send it back for a replacement. Overall, it does exactly what I need and I am happy so far. I highly recommend Shark/Ninja appliances. I have several and they have not let me down yet!

The Shark UR2360S Ultra has completely exceeded my expectations. Setup was quick and easy, and the app makes scheduling and customizing cleanings super convenient. The mapping feature is impressive—it quickly learned the layout of my home and cleans in neat, efficient rows without missing spots.
Suction power is strong enough to handle pet hair, dust, and debris on both carpet and hard floors. The self-emptying base is a game changer—it empties the dustbin automatically and cuts down on maintenance.
It’s surprisingly quiet, and I love being able to check the cleaning history and see exactly where it’s been. Battery life is solid, and it always returns to the base to recharge without any issues.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-performance robot vacuum with smart features, this one’s a winner. Highly recommend!

I’m so impressed and thrilled with my little Sharknado — it’s become a daily help. I have it scheduled to vacuum every day at 9 a.m., and it does an amazing job. I was pleasantly surprised by how well it self-cleans, its long battery life, and how easy it was to set up. It works excellently on both hardwood floors and carpet and navigates the house with ease. The price was very affordable, and it’s much quieter than I expected. I would honestly recommend it to everyone.

This vacuum does it job pretty well. It keeps my home clean and is fairly easy to maintain. I don’t have any pets, but it does pick up hair from people fairly well. Suction on the vacuum is also good, able to pick up any debris on my lvp floor with no issue. The app for this vacuum though is not that good. The mapping function is easy to use but very annoying if you want to remap a single room in your home as I can’t find the function to remap only a single room. I had to remap my entire home just to fix a single room. The time it take for the vacuum to get started after you send the command on the app varies, sometimes it starts immediately but more time than not it takes a couple minutes and multiple tries for the vacuum to start doing its job. The app gives an estimate time for how long it will take to clean the rooms you selected but the time is always wrong. If you don’t mind the slight inconvenience of the app then it is overall a good vacuum for its price.

Very disappointed with my Reversed Shark. The bristles were bent and felt warm, and it smelled like a new but already-dirty vacuum the moment I opened it. When I plugged it in and placed it on the dock it kept prompting me to empty the base; after emptying it twice (without cleaning anything) it still said the base was full even though it was empty. I also couldn’t connect it to the app — it wouldn’t appear despite multiple troubleshooting attempts. I was really looking forward to using this and am very disappointed.

I’m am so impressed and thrilled with my little Sharknado, it has helped me so much daily. I have it set to vacuum everyday at 9am and it does an amazing job. I was very pleasantly surprised!! I love that it self cleans. Has a great battery life, super easy set up. I works excellent on my hardwood floors and the carpet and move with ease throughout the house. And the price was very affordable. It’s also much quieter that I thought it was going to be. It’s not loud at all. I would honestly recommend this TO EVERYONE

I’ve been searching for a robot vacuum that can handle a busy household, and the Shark UR2360S Ultra has exceeded my expectations. From setup to performance, this little machine gets the job done. It’s loaded with useful features — Matrix Clean, precise mapping, and a 30-day self-emptying base — making it feel like a reliable, non-complaining cleaning assistant for pet hair and everyday messes.
Setup was simple: I installed the Shark app, connected to Wi‑Fi, and it began mapping my home within minutes using LIDAR. The map was accurate, covering my open-plan living area, tight corners, and cluttered spaces under furniture. I love being able to schedule cleanings or send it to specific rooms from my phone — it follows commands precisely.
Cleaning performance is impressive. With a heavy-shedding dog in the house, the self-cleaning brushroll handled pet hair, dust, and even cereal spills with ease. Matrix Clean’s grid pattern ensures thorough coverage, and my floors have stayed cleaner than they did with my old vacuum.
The self-emptying base is a standout feature. The 30-day capacity and HEPA filter mean less maintenance and better allergen control. It does make a bit of noise during emptying, but that’s a small trade-off for not dealing with a dusty bin daily.
It’s not flawless — it can struggle on very deep carpet and sometimes misses tiny debris right up against walls, and I’ve had to free it from a rogue sock now and then. Battery life is solid, typically about an hour, and it returns to recharge and resume where it left off. If you can find a renewed unit like I did, the value is excellent.
Pros: Excellent mapping, strong pet hair pickup, and a game-changing self-emptying base.Cons: Could use more power for very deep carpet and edge debris.

We absolutely love this refurbished Shark! I was hesitant at first bc the price tag was so low, but I figured it was worth the risk. I got it during Prime Day as it was on sale. My previous roommates had this same model and it always cleaned up the pet hair from their two large huskies, so I knew this brand worked well. My house is around 1500 sq ft and it takes two passes to clean the house, charging in between for an hour or so. You also have to charge it for a couple of hours right out of the box as it won’t start mapping until it’s charged up. It maps out the house quickly and gets to work! We were surprised at how much dirt it picked up every week considering we take our shoes off at the door and have no pets. It easily avoids large objects—only thing it doesn’t avoid is cords so make sure you don’t have any hanging down on the floor or the shark will suck them up and take them on an adventure (it dragged one of my phone chargers under the bed in the next room lol). The suction is great on our laminate flooring, bathroom tile and our rugs. We made sure to get a heavy rug so that the vacuum could go over it without getting stuck. This is a great and sturdy machine and we have no issues so far, we’ve only had it for a month but it works great.
Side note: even though this was refurbished it looked brand new and even had the brand new stickers attached. Couldn’t tell it was refurbished at all.
