What reviewers found
Dreame D20 Plus
- Vacuum Wars (2.90 Vacuum Wars stars): Removed 93% of embedded sand and 91% of flattened pet hair with 0% long hair wrap, and estimated about 2,761 sq ft per charge. It avoided 0 of 24 obstacles, crevice pickup was below average and mopping scored below average on dried stains. Source
- Vacuum Chef (95/100): Hands on review of a unit supplied by Dreame: strong cleaning on carpet, rugs and hard floors and good tangle resistance, but small or low objects were bumped and it reached about 74 dB at max suction. Source
Shark Matrix Self Empty (RV2310AE)
- Vacuum Wars: 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%. Source
- 9to5Toys: 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. Source
