Our Verdict

Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty

Shark Matrix Plus

The Shark Matrix Plus is better than the Shark EZ Robot Self-Empty. The Matrix Plus features a LIDAR navigation sensor that allows for quicker, more precise mapping and supports a wider array of automation features, including virtual no-go zones and room labeling. The Matrix Plus' external dustbin also has a slightly greater capacity.
