Shark Matrix Self Empty (RV2310AE)
Vacuum only LiDAR Shark with a 45 day bagless base
Researched by Riley Hart · updated Oct 30, 2026
Is the Shark Matrix Self Empty (RV2310AE) worth it? A plain, vacuum only Shark with LiDAR and a bagless base that Vacuum Wars called Shark's best performing robot when it tested it. It costs $500 as of Oct 31, 2026, and 2 independent reviewers tested it.
A plain, vacuum only Shark with LiDAR and a bagless base that Vacuum Wars called Shark's best performing robot when it tested it. It is an older 2023 model with a short 90 minute runtime, and the $499.99 store price is high when the Matrix Plus 2 in 1 sells for less. Most buyers should pick the Matrix Plus instead unless this one is discounted.
Best for: vacuum only cleaning with no bags. Skip if: you want mopping or a newer model.

What independent reviewers found
- Called it Shark's best performing robot vacuum at the time. Covered about 1,000 sq ft per charge versus about 820 for a Roomba i3+ EVO, mapped about 350 sq ft in just over 5 min, and beat the Roomba on crevice pickup and carpet deep cleaning. Battery efficiency 1.29 min per 1%.
- Vacuum Wars
- Tested the Shark Matrix with the bagless 45 day self empty base at a $499.99 MSRP (the review does not print a model number). LiDAR avoided objects taller than a few inches, stopping about an inch away, but did not detect cords. It was barely audible on normal mode and Matrix mode added about 5 min in the largest room. The app does not show live robot position.
