Tikom G8000 Pro cleans all floor types, this comes in handy, since different rooms inside your 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 robot vacuum is designed and equipped to clean a wide range of flooring materials without any significant issues.
The robot vacuum's ability to generate 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 different situations, for example the Tikom G8000 Pro having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas without accessing those that are not.
Shark IQ AV1010AE also has the mapping and navigation feature, navigation involves how the robot vacuum moves around the cleaning area. Mapping and navigation often go hand in hand to help the vacuum move 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 obstacles in the robot's path, this allwos it to navigate around them thus avoiding collisions.
Also, the Shark IQ AV1010AE has an obstacle 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 robot vacuum cleaners and the Tikom G8000 Pro supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up to prevent the robot from entering 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 programmed using voice commands.

has the same dustbin capacity as the Tikom G8000 Pro
The dustbin capacity can vary widely among 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 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, 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 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 make sure the brushes make good contact.
Many robot vacuum cleaners are equipped with sensors and indicators to alert users when the dirt collection container 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.
