The Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE comes out well ahead of the Tikom G8000 Max overall, with LiDAR mapping, obstacle detection, no-go zones, a self-emptying dock and a longer warranty. The Tikom G8000 Max answers only with a lower price and a bigger onboard bin, since it navigates by gyroscope with no saved map and its dock merely charges the robot. Buyers who want real mapping, hot-water mop washing and hands-off emptying should choose the Shark PowerDetect ThermaCharged RV2920XE; only the tightest budget points toward the Tikom G8000 Max.
