Although Shark has had a series of golem vacuum cleansing agent available in the US , such as theShark IQ Robot XL , the vacuum clean company has been conspicuously absent from the UK . Until now , as it is determine to launch the Shark Matrix Robot in Q2 2024 .
Talking to Tom Brown , President EMEA of SharkNinja , he explain that the reason for not launch product before now hail down to the opportunities usable .
“ When we look at our drive to delight customers , the big chance [ in the UK ] was on carpet and hard floor cleaning , ” said Brown .
In that compliments , Shark launch a carpet cleaner and theShark HydroVachard floor white last year .
It ’s also a subject of realise the market , and there are a few UK component that mean that robot are n’t as pop here as they are in Germany . This include high - than - average sales agreement of twilled vacuum cleanser and the layout of our homes .
To launch a robot in the UK , as with any new product , Brown explain that SharkNinja needs a “ reliable differentiator ” , and it believe it has that with the Shark Matrix .
A 2 - in-1 robot , the Shark Matrix offer both even cleanup and mopping , plus a self - empty station . Unlike the rival , which use bag , the Matrix has a bagless dock , which can take up to 60 days ’ worth of rubble . Not only does this think of that there are no on-going costs for consumables , but it ’s also better for the environment as there ’s nothing to throw away bar the dust collect .
swabbing is provide by a sonic scrubbing pad and an unified body of water tank ( there ’s no self - sporty or refill option via the saddle dock ) . The pout square bracket can rear mechanically , permit the robot to move over the carpet without getting it wet .
As with Shark ’s even void cleaners , there ’s a self - clean thicket roll , which will stop fuzz getting enfold around the roller .
Shark has picked the name because the golem map out a elbow room using its LiDAR sensor and then splits the area into a matrix , cover orbit vertically and horizontally across the gridiron . In that style , Shark says the Matrix Robot will thoroughly address any country . It has front - facing sensors to detect and avoid target placed on the floor , too .
This particular golem does n’t have side - carpet sweeper brushes for teasing grease out of the room ’s edge . rather , the smart edge organisation detects when the Matrix is at the edge of a way , shoot a line air out of the side to bear on dirt into the primary suck course . This technique , Shark says , improve edge and quoin cleaning when compare to steady robot emptiness cleaners .
Control of the robot is via the app , allow the Matrix to be used both inside and outside of the house . launching date and Leontyne Price have yet to be announced , but we ’ll fetch you this information when we can , and we ’ll have a full review as soon as samples are usable .
