iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo vs Shark Matrix Plus
These two robot vacuums are evenly matched with the same overall score.
iRobot Roomba Plus 405 Combo
7.4/10$400
A solid mid-tier Roomba that finally brings LiDAR navigation and a self-washing dock under $500. But weak deep-carpet performance and zero obstacle avoidance make it hard to recommend over the Roborock Q Revo or Dreame L40 Ultra at the same price.

Shark Matrix Plus
7.4/10$450
Shark's best-priced sonic-mopping robot. Great pet-hair pickup, but the app is buggy and the mop pad needs manual cleaning.
