### Shark Matrix Plus 2 in 1 (RV2610WA)

- TechRadar: Measured 85 to 110 min runtime and 46 dB in low mode. First LiDAR map was accurate in under 10 min and it never got stuck, but mopping was only average and the base lasted about two weeks, not 60 days. Subscores: Value 4/5, Design 4/5, Performance 4/5, App 3/5, Battery 5/5. [Source](https://www.techradar.com/home/robot-vacuums/shark-matrix-plus-2-in-1-robot-vacuum-review)
- T3: Tested the UK RV2620WAUK, which T3 says looks virtually the same as the US model. First run finished without snags, normal vacuuming was quiet with a loud burst when emptying, and mopping used a modest amount of water. Praised the app; noted a short power cable and imprecise docking. [Source](https://t3.com/home-living/vacuum-cleaners/shark-matrix-plus-robot-vacuum-and-mop-review)
