My husband and I are honestly impressed at how well the Shark Matrix works, considering our cat is VERY furry and sheds a full cat every day! This performs just as well as our Dyson Animal stick vacuum and other Shark models we’ve had in the past. We’ve never had a robot vacuum before but I would totally buy one now. We lovingly named ours “DeFurminator”. The pics are after ONE cleaning and one day’s worth of fur. It is pretty smart and thorough with mapping out each area. Two small critiques is that I wish you could schedule a “matrix clean” on a  specific area instead of the entire floor and you can only map one floor at a time with this model. These are really the only small, fair critiques. The vacuum navigates over objects impressingly well. Definitely give this model a try if you’ve considered a robot.
