Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE vs Tikom G8000 Max

The Shark Stratos NeverTouch RV2720ZE, on LiDAR navigation, obstacle detection, multi-room mapping, no-go zones and a dock that empties, washes and dries the mop pad automatically.

The Shark Stratos NeverTouch mops with a sonic-vibrating pad washed and dried at its dock; the Tikom G8000 Max mops with a plain cloth rinsed by hand and has no self-emptying at all.

Some owners report Wi-Fi setup problems that support struggled to resolve quickly, which is worth knowing going in even though navigation and self-emptying draw consistent praise.

The Tikom G8000 Max lists up to 150 minutes against the Shark Stratos NeverTouch's 110, though the Shark's cleaning cycle covers more ground per pass.

Multi-dog households and anyone who wants hands-free running for weeks at a time with a dock that fully maintains itself.

Budget buyers who want basic vacuuming and mopping without setup headaches or a self-emptying dock.
