Shark Matrix Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop vs TP-Link Tapo RV30 Max Plus

The Tapo RV30 Max Plus is the stronger pick for most homes: it has real LiDAR mapping, higher rated suction (5,300 Pa), a bigger onboard bin and a sealed dust bag that lasts up to two months. The Shark Matrix Plus counters with Sonic Mopping, a precision grid cleaning pattern and a HEPA self-empty base, and owners praise its suction and app setup. The Shark is heavier and its navigation is less proven than LiDAR, and one owner reports dog hair jamming under the dust intake. Pick the Shark if you want sonic scrubbing and a HEPA base; pick the Tapo if you want better mapping and less emptying.

• Choose the Shark Matrix Plus if you want sonic mopping on hard floors and a HEPA-sealed self-empty base, and you mostly clean carpet and rugs.
• Choose the Tapo RV30 Max Plus if you want LiDAR mapping that works in the dark, stronger rated suction and a sealed dust bag you touch every two months.
