Shark Robot Vacuum and Mop Review

Robot vacuums that can also mop are a great choice for households with both kinds. These powerful devices have self-emptying bins, and they don't get stuck on obstacles.

The Shark RV2610WA vacuum with mop gives a thorough clean using Matrix Clean. This system uses a grid pattern that is precise to make sure there are no missed spots. It also allows you to create carpet zones for when you'd like to stop mopping.

Self-Emptying Base Station

The dustbin of a robot vacuum can fill up with dirt after cleaning. But emptying it can be a pain. You can dock your vacuum and it will automatically empty itself into a larger storage container. It's the same way a bagless vacuum cleaner operates and will allow you to use your robot vacuum more frequently.

Some Shark models have base stations which clean the robot mop and also replenish its water tank. This feature is especially useful for carpeted homes, as it will aid in keeping your floors cleaner than regular vacuuming. A clean mop is also an excellent way to avoid spills and stains from your carpet. This is why it's worth looking into as a feature to consider for your next robotic cleaner.

The self-emptying station could be the right choice for you, depending on your budget and preference for convenience. While it's nice to not have to empty the trash bin every three or four cleaning cycles, the base station still needs to be cleaned every 30 or 60 days. This can be quite a hassle, and it can cause a lot of noise when it's happening.

You can also find self-emptying robot vacuums with bags that are not used, such as the iRobot Roomba i7+. This model has an external dust bin that is slightly less hygienic however it still provides excellent performance on floors with no carpet and carpets with high piles and has lower maintenance requirements, and comes with lower recurring costs. It even has a scented air freshener device that neutralizes odors in the dustbin. The i7+ has a slightly better design, and with a more flexible configuration and can even create virtual boundary lines using its app.

Matrix Clean

The Shark Matrix Clean robot vacuum and mop has incredible suction power and a bagless base that holds up to 45 days of debris. It is also equipped with the brand's Matrix Clean technology and Precision Home Mapping. This means it can clean a variety of floors as well as tackle pet hair and other stuck-on messes and leave no areas missed.

It's also simple to create mopping schedules or start the process of cleaning your home completely using the Shark app. You can even make use of voice commands to control the robot, or create no-go zones with your smart speaker. This makes it a great option for busy families who are looking to delegate tasks to robots.

It's also important to note that the robot wasn't created to clean rooms with carpet. If you have carpet it is necessary to remove the mop pad every time it gets closer. The Matrix Clean system does an excellent job of taking dust and dirt off bare floors, though.
