A robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to "understand" the layout of the desired space. Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, for example the iRobot Roomba i7 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
The Tikom G8000 Pro also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the space. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't. iRobot Roomba i7 has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Tikom G8000 Pro has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many robot vacuum cleaners and iRobot Roomba i7 is one of them. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
Tikom G8000 Pro also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in spaces where there are locations that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the iRobot Roomba i7 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. The Tikom G8000 Pro can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum.
iRobot Roomba i7 is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. The Tikom G8000 Pro is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum.

has more capacity than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 0.1L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the size you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. iRobot Roomba i7 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Tikom G8000 Pro also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to show that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
The iRobot Roomba i7 weighs 3kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact for easy maneuverability and carrying around. Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2.8kg
is lighter than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 0.2kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
iRobot Roomba i7 has a width of 338mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 325mm
measures less in width than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 13mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. iRobot Roomba i7's height measures 92mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 78.7mm
measures less in height than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 13.3mm. When selecting a robot vacuum, make sure that the robot vacuum can go under the furniture and navigate effectively in your living space without getting stuck or causing damage.
The battery power of a robot vacuum cleaner is a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. Battery capacity is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), iRobot Roomba i7's battery power is 1,800mAh
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at mAh2,600
has more battery power than the iRobot Roomba i7 by
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large room or if you would like the robot vacuum to complete operations without frequent interruptions to recharge. The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
iRobot Roomba i7's operating time is 1.25h
The Tikom G8000 Pro, at 2h
lasts more than the iRobot Roomba i7 with a difference of 0.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. iRobot Roomba i7 has a charge time of 2h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. Tikom G8000 Pro, at 5h
charges for longer than the iRobot Roomba i7 by 3h.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, since it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle.
