If you’ve been searching for a robot vacuum that actually handles both vacuuming and mopping without cutting corners, the Shark Matrix Plus RV2610WA is one of the more complete options in its price category. It combines a self-cleaning brushroll, LiDAR navigation, sonic mopping, and a bagless self-emptying base into a single machine — with enough smart features to run your cleaning schedule from an app or by voice. Here’s a clear breakdown of everything it offers, based on what’s listed on the product page.
Key Features
- CleanEdge Detect — uses targeted air blasts and corner recognition to pull debris away from edges and into the cleaning path, rated at 50% better edge cleaning compared to the RV2610WD with CleanEdge turned off
- Matrix Clean — a precision grid cleaning pattern that takes multiple passes over an area for more thorough coverage, delivering 30% better carpet cleaning vs. single-pass performance
- Sonic Mopping — scrubs sealed hard floors 100 times per minute; Matrix Mop mode in the app offers 50% better stain cleaning in targeted zones
- 360° LiDAR Precision Mapping — scans and maps the home accurately for methodical navigation and object avoidance, day or night
- Self-Cleaning Brushroll — anti-hair wrap design engineered to pick up more hair from both carpets and hard floors
- HEPA Filtration — captures and traps 99.97% of dust and allergens down to 0.3 microns, sealed in the self-empty base
- Bagless Self-Empty Base — holds up to 60 days of debris with no disposable bags required
- Recharge and Resume — returns to base when the battery runs low, recharges, and continues from where it left off
- WiFi and Alexa compatible — controlled via the SharkClean app with scheduling, zone cleaning, and on-demand Matrix Mop activation

Product Overview
The RV2610WA is built around two core jobs: vacuuming and mopping, and it handles both simultaneously on hard floors rather than requiring separate passes. The Matrix Clean system moves the robot through a methodical grid rather than the random paths common in older models, which means it revisits areas from different angles. On carpets, this translates to a more consistent clean — dirt that a single pass might leave behind gets picked up on subsequent crossings. For mopping, the Sonic Mopping feature keeps the pad moving at a rapid pace against the floor surface, which is more effective on stuck-on messes than simple pad drag.
Edge and corner cleaning has historically been a weak point for most robot vacuums — the circular body makes it hard to reach into corners, and debris along baseboards often gets pushed around rather than collected. The CleanEdge Detect system takes a different approach by using controlled air bursts to displace debris from edges and corners before the robot sweeps it into its cleaning path. According to Shark’s own testing, this results in 50% better edge cleaning compared to running the same robot without CleanEdge active.
On the maintenance side, the self-emptying base handles the debris disposal side of things for up to 60 days between empties, and it doesn’t require purchasing bags — the base is bagless. The HEPA filtration means the allergens and fine dust captured during cleaning stay captured rather than being redistributed into the air when the base empties. For navigation and scheduling, the SharkClean app lets you assign specific zones to clean, set no-go areas, create cleaning schedules, and trigger a deeper Matrix Mop pass on sections of flooring that need extra attention.
