Shark IQ RV1001AE can clean all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms inside a home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the vacuum is designed and equipped to effectively clean most flooring materials without any significant issues.
Tikom G8000 can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is built to be adaptable, providing best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. The robot vacuum's ability to generate a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the desired space.
This can be used for different situations, for example the Shark IQ RV1001AE having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Tikom G8000 also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states 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 spaces to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
Shark IQ RV1001AE has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Tikom G8000 has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, making it possible to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature found on many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Shark IQ RV1001AE is one of them.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted spaces that you can set up to prevent the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Tikom G8000 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.
