Tapo RV20 Max Robot Vacuum vs Shark Matrix Self-Empty Robot Vacuum

The Tapo RV20 Max is the better all-rounder: it vacuums and mops, runs far longer per charge, and is quieter. The Shark Matrix Self-Empty wins on hands-off emptying, so you touch the bin far less often. Build is plastic on both; owners of the Shark praise the base but note the short runtime, while Tapo owners like the app and mapping. Pick the Tapo for mixed floors and mopping, the Shark for pet hair and less bin duty.

• Choose the Tapo RV20 Max if you want one robot to vacuum and mop, need long runs on a single charge, and want a quiet machine that fits under low furniture.
• Choose the Shark Matrix Self-Empty if you have pets, mostly carpet, and would rather the robot empty itself into a base than stop to empty a bin.
