Shark IQ RV1001AE cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, as different rooms within your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is said to be able to clean all floor types, this means that the robot vacuum is designed and equipped to clean most flooring materials without any significant issues.
Tikom G8000 can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be versatile, giving best cleaning performance on either hard floors or carpets found in most homes. A robot vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning space is one of the commonly asked-for features. This map allows the robot to keep a record of the layout of the space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for several purposes, e.g. 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 ignoring 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, allowing 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 comprehensive understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room thus avoiding 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 essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. The Tikom G8000 also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in homes where there are areas that you want to keep off-limits to the robot vacuum.
Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Shark IQ RV1001AE are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. Tikom G8000 can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will need an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum. The Shark IQ RV1001AE is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets.

Tikom G8000 comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally. The Shark IQ RV1001AE's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it requires to be emptied.
The Tikom G8000, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the Shark IQ RV1001AE
The dustbin capacity varies widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. Shark IQ RV1001AE can adjust its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when moving to a carpet to enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact.
Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Tikom G8000 with better sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles. Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to notify users when the dirt collection container is full and needs to be emptied.
Shark IQ RV1001AE supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Tikom G8000 also can indicate when its dustbin is full, for a robot vacuum to alert that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
