Tikom G8000 Pro can clean all floor types, this feature is essential, since different rooms inside your home may have different types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is said to be able to clean all types of floors, it means that the robot vacuum is capable to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any significant issues.
A robot vacuum's ability to create a map of its cleaning space 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 different situations, e.g.
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 IQ AV1010AE 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.
Tikom G8000 Pro has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's way, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark IQ AV1010AE has this sensor, obstacle sensors work together to provide the robot vacuum with a comprehensive understanding of its environment, making it possible 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 found on many advanced 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 means that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands. The Shark IQ AV1010AE 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, enabling you to control it using voice commands via Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app installed on smartphones and tablets. Shark IQ AV1010AE is compatible with Google Assistant, it's advised to verify the level of compatibility with Google Assistant before buying a robot vacuum. Tikom G8000 Pro has 4 cleaning modes, the number of cleaning modes offered by robot vacuum cleaners varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum.
The Shark IQ AV1010AE, having only 3
has less modes than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of only 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to different cleaning challenges. Tikom G8000 Pro has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 year to 2 years, but some higher-end models may give longer warranties. The Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Tikom G8000 Pro.
When considering a robot vacuum cleaner, it's important 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 IQ AV1010AE 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 for the environment.
Tikom G8000 Pro's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity indicates how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 0.6L
has the same dustbin capacity as the Tikom G8000 Pro
The dustbin capacity varies widely among 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, twin side brushes can be beneficial for specific 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 IQ AV1010AE'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 enable effective suction, and then lower itself on hard floors to ensure the brushes make good contact. 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 IQ AV1010AE 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 portability. The Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 7.9kg
weighs more than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of 5.1kg.
It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when choosing a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Tikom G8000 Pro has a width of 325mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that the robot vacuum can properly clean in a single pass. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the time it takes to clean a room
Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 325mm
has the same width as that of Tikom G8000 Pro. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room.
Tikom G8000 Pro's height measures 78.7mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have obstacles with limited clearance in your home. Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 89mm
measures more in height than the Tikom G8000 Pro with a difference of 10.3mm.
When selecting 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. Battery capacity is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Tikom G8000 Pro's battery power is 2,600mAh
The operating time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging.
Tikom G8000 Pro's operating time is 2h
Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 2h
has the same operating time as the Tikom G8000 Pro
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals. Tikom G8000 Pro has a charge time of 5h, the charge time of a robot vacuum cleaner refers to the amount of time it takes for the vacuum's battery to recharge fully after it has been depleted during a cleaning cycle. The Shark IQ AV1010AE, at 5h
has the same charge time as the Tikom G8000 Pro.
Charge time is an important factor to consider when choosing a robot vacuum, as it determines how long you'll need to wait before the vacuum begins its next cleaning cycle. This is the amount of electrical power the vacuum uses while it's actively cleaning your home.
