Tikom G8000 can clean all floor types, this comes in handy, as different rooms inside your home may have various types of flooring i.e. carpets. If a robot vacuum cleaner is stated able to clean all types of floors, it implies that the vacuum is capable to effectively clean several flooring materials without any significant issues.
Shark AV2501S can also clean all floor types, this means that it too is built to be versatile, giving best cleaning results on either carpets or hard floors found in most homes. A vacuum's ability to generate a digital 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 space.
Mapping and navigation can be used for different situations, for example the Tikom G8000 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 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 has an obstacle sensor, this serves the purpose of detecting and identifying objects in the robot's route, this allwos it to navigate around them and avoid collisions. Also, the Shark AV2501S has this 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 preventing damage to both the robot and its obstacles. No-go zones is a feature of many robot vacuum cleaners and Tikom G8000 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. Most modern robot vacuum cleaners such as the Tikom G8000 are designed to work with Amazon Alexa, which implies that they can be added to the Amazon Echo ecosystem and controlled using voice commands. Shark AV2501S can also work with Amazon Alexa, keep in mind that you will require an Alexa-enabled device such as an Echo speaker for voice control to work with your robot vacuum.
The Tikom G8000 is compatible with Google Assistant, enabling you to control it using voice commands through Google Home devices or the Google Assistant app found on smartphones and tablets. The 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 has 4 cleaning modes, the cleaning modes offered by robot vacuums varies widely depending on the design of the robot vacuum.
Shark AV2501S, having only 3
has less modes than the Tikom G8000 by only 1
Robot vacuum manufacturers offer different cleaning modes to provide users with flexibility and adaptability to various cleaning surfaces. Tikom G8000 has a period of 1 year, this typically range from 1 - 2 years, but some higher-end models may offer longer warranty periods. Shark AV2501S, at 1 year
has the same warranty period as that of Tikom G8000.
When thinking of buying a robot vacuum cleaner, it's essential to read and understand the warranty terms and conditions, as well as any limitations or exclusions that may apply. 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 maintain the vacuum's performance. Shark AV2501S comes with washable filters, the advantage of washable filters is that they reusable multiple times, reducing the ongoing cost of replacing disposable filters, plus it's also good environmentally.
The Tikom G8000's dustbin capacity is at 0.6L, dustbin capacity determines how much dust, debris, and pet hair the robot vacuum holds before it can be emptied. The Shark AV2501S, at 0.8L
has more capacity than the Tikom G8000 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. Tikom G8000 has twin side brushes, twin side brushes can be useful for certain cleaning tasks, as 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 AV2501S's reach, allowing 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.
Tikom G8000 can adjust its height to match this requirement, 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 Shark AV2501S with better 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 notify users when the dirt collection container 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. 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.
The Tikom G8000 weighs 2.8kg, robot vacuums are commonly designed to be lightweight and compact to easily get around and carrying around. Shark AV2501S, at 3.1kg
weighs more than the Tikom G8000 by 0.3kg. It's advisable to take in consideration the weight of the vacuum when selecting a model, and that's if you plan to carry it up and down stairs
Tikom G8000 has a width of 325mm, aslo known as its cleaning path width, is the width of the area that it can properly clean in a single pass.
The width of a robot vacuum is important as it can affect its efficiency and the duration it takes to clean a room
The Shark AV2501S, at 348mm
measures more in width than the Tikom G8000 by 23mm. A wider cleaning path can cover more ground in a single pass, shortening the time it takes to clean a room. Tikom G8000's height measures 79mm, here you are considering the measure from the bottom of the robot vacuum to its highest point.
Height is a key consideration, especially if you have furniture with low clearance in your home. Shark AV2501S, at 104mm
measures more in height than the Tikom G8000 by 25mm. 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 a crucial factor that determines how long the vacuum can run on a single charge. It is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), Tikom G8000's battery power is 2,600mAh
The Shark AV2501S, at mAh2,500
has less battery power than the Tikom G8000 with a difference of only
