Tikom G8000 Pro cleans all floor types, this feature comes in handy, as different rooms within a home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is advertised able to clean all types of floors, it means that the vacuum is capable to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any limitations.
Shark AV2501S can also clean all floor types, meaning it is designed to be adaptable, providing best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to create a digital map of its cleaning area is one of the commonly asked-for features. The map it creates allows the robot to keep a record of 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 provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. 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 move to the mapped-out areas to be cleaned leaving out those that aren't.
Tikom G8000 Pro has an obstacle sensor, such a sensor serves the purpose of detecting and identifying obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has this 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 robot vacuum cleaners and Tikom G8000 Pro supports this feature.
These zones are basicaaly digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle. Many modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Tikom G8000 Pro are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. Shark AV2501S 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 Tikom G8000 Pro is compatible with Google Assistant, allowing you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. Shark AV2501S is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before purchasing a robot vacuum. Tikom G8000 Pro has 4 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes supported by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum.
The Shark AV2501S, having only 3
has less modes than the Tikom G8000 Pro by only 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers may offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning challenges. The Tikom G8000 Pro has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranties. The Shark AV2501S, at 1 year

Tikom G8000 Pro's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum can hold before it requires to be emptied. Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of 0.2L
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among different robot vacuum models, and the capcity you choose should depend on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. The Tikom G8000 Pro has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be beneficial for certain cleaning tasks, since 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, enabling 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 adjusts its height to match this demand, for example, it may raise itself slightly when transitioning to a carpet to allow for 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 Shark AV2501S with sophiscated 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 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 thus 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 reduces the need for constant monitoring.
