Which Shark robot vacuum to buy: every model on Amazon, compared
- Mops often, no pad rinsing: Shark Stratos Robot ($800)
- Big home, one long run: Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal ($900)
- Lowest price with a self-emptying dock: Shark Matrix Plus ($300)
No Shark on Amazon passes all five of our pet-and-floor checks; buy the Shark Matrix Plus ($300 at Amazon, checked November 2, 2026): the lowest price with a self-emptying dock. Of the 5 Shark robot vacuums Amazon sold new, from $300 to $1,300, 5 have a self-emptying dock and 3 have a dock that washes the mop; Shark publishes no threshold-climb, height or mop-lift figure for any of them.

Each pick follows the rule in its row. Price decides only where the rule says so. We link only listings sold new by Amazon or Shark. We compile Shark’s published numbers; we do not test units.
Every Shark robot vacuum we track
Sorted by Amazon price. Each figure links to the Shark page it was read from. “Not published” means Shark leaves it off that model’s page; we never borrow a figure from a sister model.

Shark does not publish a robot height, a threshold-climb figure or a mop-lift height on any of these pages. Measure the gap under your lowest sofa and your tallest door strip, then compare with a brand that publishes both: see which Roomba to buy or the Roborock lineup.

Shark models we left out
Amazon also sells older Shark robots such as the AI Ultra (AV2501S, RV2620WD) and the Matrix vacuum and mop (RV2410WD). Shark's own site no longer has a page for them, so we have no maker figures to cite and leave them out. Shark sells several of its robots on Amazon under Amazon-only model numbers that start with AV. We match a listing by the model name in its title, and each model page shows the number the listing carries. We add a model only after we have read its limits on Shark’s own site (sharkninja.com).
What Shark publishes, and what it leaves out
A figure the maker leaves off is a figure you cannot check before you buy. This is how many of the 5 Shark models on Amazon carry each figure on Shark’s own page, and the range where they do.
| Figure | Shark models on Amazon with it | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Threshold climb | 0 of 5 | not published |
| Robot height | 0 of 5 | not published |
| Mop lift | 0 of 5 | not published |
| Days the dock holds | 4 of 5 | 60 days |
| Runtime a charge | 3 of 5 | 110 to 180 min |
| Suction | 0 of 5 | not published |
| Warranty | 5 of 5 | 1 to 2 years |
Bare unit or bundle on Amazon
Search Amazon for a Shark and the bare unit can sit next to bundles with extra parts or a protection plan. We link only the bare unit, so the price you compare is the unit itself.
We found no Shark bundle listings next to these units when we checked on November 2, 2026.
A bundle can still be the right buy if you would buy its extras anyway. Compare its price with the bare unit plus the parts you want.
How to choose a Shark
Thresholds first. Measure your tallest door strip or rug edge. A robot that cannot climb it will stop there every time. Shark does not publish this figure, so check with Shark before you buy if your thresholds are tall.
Then the dock. A self-emptying dock empties the robot into a bag or bin you deal with every month or two. A washing dock also rinses the mop, so you stop handling wet pads. The table says which is which.
Then the mop. A flat pad drags behind the robot. Two spinning pads, a roller or a track mop scrub. If you have rugs, look for a mop-lift figure: it tells you how high the wet mop rises when the robot crosses a rug.
Then height. Measure the gap under your lowest bed or sofa. The robot needs more room than its own height to get under.

What refills cost a year
The refill column uses Shark’s own parts at Amazon prices, times how often Shark says to replace them. A part counts only when Shark gives a replacement interval and its own part is on Amazon under a listing that names the model. Where either is missing, the cell says so. Shark’s self-empty bases are bagless: the dirt goes in a bin you empty, so there are no dock bags to buy. Each model page shows the math row by row.

Questions people ask
Which Shark robot vacuum should I buy?
No Shark passes all five of our pet-and-floor checks. Our pick: the Shark Matrix Plus, the lowest price with a self-emptying dock. Mops often, no pad rinsing: the Shark Stratos Robot. Big home, one long run: the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal. Lowest price with a self-emptying dock: the Shark Matrix Plus. Each follows the rule in its row on this page.
What is the difference between Shark models?
Mostly the dock and the mop. 5 of the 5 on Amazon empty themselves into the dock, and 3 have a dock that washes the mop. The table has every figure with its source.
Which Shark climbs the highest threshold?
Shark does not publish a threshold-climb figure for the models Amazon sells. Measure your tallest door strip and ask Shark before you buy.
Which Shark is the thinnest?
Shark does not publish a robot height on these pages.
Which Shark robot vacuums are sold on Amazon?
When we checked on November 2, 2026, Amazon or Shark sold these new: Shark Matrix Plus, Shark Navigator, Shark Stratos Robot, Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal, Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged. Each one is in the table above with its Amazon price.
Which Shark is best for pet hair?
Shark names an anti-tangle brush for the Shark Matrix Plus, Shark Navigator and Shark Stratos Robot. A brush that does not wrap hair saves you cutting it free every week. For a cross-brand pick on pet hair and hardwood, see our pet hair page.
Which Shark is best if I have rugs and want to mop?
Shark gives no mop-lift height for these models, so we cannot say how thick a rug they mop past without touching it. If rugs matter, a brand that publishes the figure is the safer buy.
What warranty does Shark give?
1 year: the Shark Matrix Plus, Shark Navigator and Shark Stratos Robot. 2 years: the Shark PowerDetect UV Reveal and Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged. These are Shark's published terms; models not named here have no warranty line on the page we read.
How much do Shark refills cost a year?
We could not price Shark refills yet: a part counts only when Shark gives a replacement interval and Shark's own part is on Amazon. Shark's bases are bagless, so there are no dock bags to buy.
