Have had for a few months now and this thing is incredible. Honestly kind of life changing. My floors have never been cleaner and I don’t have to do anything.
Had this machine over a year ago it worked great at the beginning but now it’s just junk. Cleaned it extremely well but still does not work even buying a new water canister. I messed up and did not get the extra warranty.

Hi Dan,
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
We’re deeply sorry to learnt that PowerDetect stopped working even after you purchased a new canister. We’re here for you and want to make this right. We’d recommend that you refer to our self-help guide below to help troubleshoot the issue you’re experiencing. If the steps are unsuccessful, please follow the directions provided at the end of the guide.
I purchased the Matrix Plus over month ago and was well pleased with how it cleaned. So I decided to upgrade to the PowerDetect NeverTouch Pro which will mop, clean and dry the mop pad, empty the dirty water, while refilling the robot with cleaning solution for its next job. It also vacuums well and I love how my carpeted areas always look clean and well maintained. I hardly ever have to touch it, hence it's name NEVERTOUCH PRO. I love the robot but what I think really needs work is the app. It's so frustrating to have this fantastic cleaning robot and yet have it supported by this outdated app with really few available functions. The app.is keeping this particular unit from receiving its deserved 5 stars. I would still recommend this Shark robot nevertheless.
Bought this product for myself for Christmas and I'm loving it. Wish I had purchased it sooner. I have 4 dogs and is grueling for me to keep up with the vacuuming and mopping. This product does this for me with no effort on my part. Would highly recommend this purchase for those that may be on the fence and are hesitant. Well worth the cost!
Works well enough but isn't a replacement for a true human-powered mopping job. Leaves small dust. Also, often misfires-- it thinks it has "completed its mission" when it has only done a fraction of the apartment. Then it goes back to the base, and I have to try it again. Sometimes it works. The map seems accurate- but it has some sort of bug where it prematurely thinks it is finished quite often. It will sometimes go just a few feet and then go back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’ve had this for about a month and I love it. I schedule my cleaning times for different rooms you can only schedule 2 per day. My whole house has hardwood floors except master bath which is tile. I have the mop set to eco and it doesn’t put a lot of water on the floors which is key for my hardwood. If it needs to cross the carpet in mop mode, it lifts the mop up so it doesn’t touch carpet!! I have 2 dogs, one is a German Shepherd who sheds so much, and the vacuum hasn’t clogged up at all. When it’s full it empties itself into the bin and goes back out to pick up where it left off. The battery life is amazing, I have 2 other Shark robot vacuums for my second and third floors, the battery life on them is probably half of this one. If you get it on sale it is so worth it!!
It’s the worst product I have ever purchased. Suction power is too low. Shark intelligently didn’t mention the power in its tech specification. When I turn on mop, it says it will first vaccum it and then mops but when detects carpet, instead of vaccuming it just skips the entire carpet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
