It’s quiet enough to run during a work call without colleagues asking what the noise is, making it suitable for homes where people are working or relaxing.Life is busy, floors are dirty, and nobody has time to drag out a mop on a Tuesday night — which is exactly why the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum & Mop exists. It promises to vacuum and mop your floors in a single pass, all while you binge your favorite show or pretend to work from home. Big claims, but does it actually deliver?

We put it through its paces so you don’t have to.The Matrix Plus sits in Shark’s upper-mid-range lineup, and it shows. You’re getting matrix clean home mapping, sonic mopping technology, and a self-empty base (on select bundles) all wrapped in Shark’s signature sleek design. It’s the kind of robot that actually looks like it means business sitting in the corner of your living room.We tested this guy on hardwood, tile, and area rugs over several weeks, with real-world messes including pet hair, cereal crumbs, and the occasional rogue Lego. Here’s everything you need to know before you hit that buy button.
