Tikom G8000 Pro can clean all floor types, this feature comes in handy, since different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. When a robot vacuum cleaner is stated as being able to clean all floor types, this means that the vacuum is designed and equipped to clean most flooring materials without much limitations.
Shark AV2501S aslo cleans all floor types, meaning it is designed to be versatile, providing best cleaning results on either hard floors or carpets commonly found in homes. The 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.
This can be used for different situations, 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. Shark AV2501S also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation states how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum navigate to the mapped-out areas 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 path, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has an obstacle sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a better understanding of its environment, enabling it to navigate around furniture, walls, and other objects when cleaning a room and avoiding damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Tikom G8000 Pro 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. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Tikom G8000 Pro are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands.

Tikom G8000 Pro's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, dirt, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can 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 be based on your cleaning needs and the size of the area you want to clean. Tikom G8000 Pro has twin side brushes, these brushes can be useful for specific 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, allowing it to ruffle up and collect dirt and debris from these often-neglected areas. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance.
Tikom G8000 Pro can adjust its height to match this requirement, 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 maintaining cleaning performance across various floor types, including carpets, rugs, hardwood floors, and tiles.
Many 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 indicate that it's full can improve the convenience of owning one since it minimizes the need for constant monitoring.
