Tikom G8000 cleans all floor types, this feature is essential, as different rooms within your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum is advertised as being able to clean all types of floors, this implies that the robot vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without much limitations.
A vacuum's ability to generate a 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. This can be used for different situations, e.g.
the Tikom G8000 having the mapping feature can provide efficient cleaning in the mapped-out areas keeping out of those that are not. Roomba i1 Plus 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 leaving out those that aren't.
Tikom G8000 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's path, allowing it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Tikom G8000 supports this feature. These zones are essentially digital boundaries or restricted areas that you can set up preventing the robot from accessing specific areas or rooms during its cleaning cycle.
Roomba i1 Plus also supports the no-go zones feature, such a feature is particularly useful in rooms where there are locations that you want to restrict access to the robot vacuum. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Tikom G8000 are built to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be integrated with the Amazon Echo ecosystem and programmed using voice commands.

The Tikom G8000 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. Tikom G8000's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The Roomba i1 Plus, at 0.4L
carries less dirt than the Tikom G8000 by only 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 has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be useful for specific cleaning tasks, as they help the robot vacuum more effectively sweep dirt and debris from corners and along edges. Different floor types require a robot vacuum to be at a given ground clearance so as to optimize performance. Tikom G8000 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 ensure the brushes make good contact.
Automatic height adjustment is commonly found in mid-range to high-end robot vacuum models such as the Roomba i1 Plus with advanced sensor technology and adaptability. This feature is essential for keeping up 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 supports this feature, which prevents the robot vacuum from getting clogged thus performance will be maintained as soon as the bin is emptied. Roomba i1 Plus 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. Tikom G8000 weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are generally designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around.
Roomba i1 Plus, at 4.7kg

Tikom G8000 has a width of 325mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, refers to the width of the area that it can properly clean in one go. The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a space
Roomba i1 Plus, at 338mm
measures more in width than the Tikom G8000 with a difference of 13mm.
A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, reducing the time it takes to clean a room. Tikom G8000's height measures 79mm, here you are looking at the measurement from the bottom to its highest point. Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with limited clearance in your home.
Roomba i1 Plus, at 92mm
measures more in height than the Tikom G8000 by 13mm. 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can operate on a single charge.
It is typically measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Tikom G8000's battery power is 2,600mAh
The Roomba i1 Plus, at mAh1,800
has less battery power than the Tikom G8000 with a difference of only
A bigger capacity usually means longer battery life which can be beneficial if you have a large space or if you prefer the robot vacuum to complete cleaning cycles with less interruptions to recharge. The operating time of the Tikom G8000 refers to the time the vacuum can clean continuously on a single battery charge before it needs to return to its charging dock for recharging. Tikom G8000's operating time is 2h
Roomba i1 Plus, at 1.25h
spends less time than the Tikom G8000 by only 0.75h
Always plan cleaning cycles around the vacuum's operating time to maximize efficiency and prevent "incomplete work" between charge intervals.
Tikom G8000 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 Roomba i1 Plus, at 2.5h
spends lesser time charging than the Tikom G8000 by only 2.5h. 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.
