Due to the huge popularity of the best cordless vacuum cleaners and best robot vacuum cleaners, there's not a lot that the industry hasn't already seen. It's an exciting time for home cleaning tech, with many brands releasing models that do a lot more than a simple suction. 

One example of this is the launch of Shark's new Matrix Robot, a powerful cleaning device that combines suction and Sonic Mopping to effortlessly tackle dirt, pet hair and stubborn stains on both carpets and hard floors. Whilst Shark has previously released a range of robot vacuum cleaners in the US, this is the first robot vacuum the brand has launched in the UK.

The Shark Matrix Robot uses a precise matrix grid to thoroughly clean floors from multiple angles, eliminating hidden dirt and debris. It also offers powerful suction and a self-cleaning brush roll for effective carpet cleaning, while also scrubbing hard floors to remove tough stains.
