Tikom G8000 Pro cleans all floor types, this is essential, as different rooms inside your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the robot vacuum is capable to clean flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark AV2501S can also clean all floor types, which implies that it too is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors commonly found in homes. A robot vacuum's ability to generate a map of its cleaning area 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 several purposes, for example the Tikom G8000 Pro having the mapping feature can dedicate efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not. The Shark AV2501S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation defines 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.
Tikom G8000 Pro has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its surroundings, 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 of many advanced robot vacuum cleaners and the Tikom G8000 Pro is one of them.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from entering specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Tikom G8000 Pro are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. Shark AV2501S 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 Shark AV2501S.
The Tikom G8000 Pro 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 Shark AV2501S too is compatible with Google Assistant, it's always essential to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. The Tikom G8000 Pro has 4 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum.
Shark AV2501S, having only 3
has less modes than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of only 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning surfaces. The Tikom G8000 Pro has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end brands may offer longer warranties. Shark AV2501S, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Tikom G8000 Pro.
When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, alongside any limitations or exclusions that may apply. The Tikom G8000 Pro has washable filters, these are designed to capture dust, dirt, and fine particles during the cleaning process and can be easily removed and cleaned to keep up the vacuum's performance. Shark AV2501S comes with washable filters, the good thing about washable filters is that they can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing costs of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally.
Tikom G8000 Pro's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it can be emptied. The Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Tikom G8000 Pro by 0.2L
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. The Tikom G8000 Pro has twin side brushes, these brushes can be useful for certain cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges.
Instead of a single side brush, which is commonly found on many robot vacuums, twin side brushes have two side brushes one on each side of the robot vacuum. They extend the Shark AV2501S's reach, allowing it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these hard to clean areas. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
The Tikom G8000 Pro 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 make sure the brushes make good contact. Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Shark AV2501S with advanced sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles.
Most robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dustbin is full and needs to be emptied. Tikom G8000 Pro supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged which means performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Shark AV2501S 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 Tikom G8000 Pro weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
weighs more than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of 0.3kg. It's advisable to consider the weight of the robot vacuum when selecting a model, especially if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Tikom G8000 Pro has a width of 325mm, often referred to as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can effectively clean in one go.
The width of a robot vacuum is key as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures more in width than the Tikom G8000 Pro by 23mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Tikom G8000 Pro's height measures 78.7mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of 25.3mm. When choosing a robot vacuum, ensure that the robot vacuum can fit 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 important as it determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge. It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Tikom G8000 Pro's battery power is 2,600mAh
Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
