The Tikom G8000 Max combines a very high 5000 Pa suction power with a long 150-minute runtime and multiple control options, making it a strong budget 2-in-1 vacuum-mop. Its navigation is limited to basic gyroscope tracking and it lacks a self-empty dock, which can reduce convenience. Best for pet owners and apartment dwellers who prioritize suction and runtime over advanced mapping.
The Shark AI Ultra (AV2511AE) offers strong 650 W suction, LiDAR navigation and a 60-day self-empty base. However, it lacks a mopping function and its app is basic, with occasional mapping hiccups. Ideal for pet owners and busy households needing hands-free, long-term dust management.
The Lefant M210 offers strong suction, a thin 71 mm profile and full Wi-Fi/app/voice control, making it a capable entry-level robot vacuum. It misses advanced mapping and recharge-and-resume, which can affect coverage on larger or complex homes. Ideal for pet owners in apartments who want smart-home connectivity without a high price.
The ILIFE V2 is a slim robot vacuum with a tangle-free suction system and a generous 300 ml dustbin, delivering up to 2 hours of runtime. It lacks app-based scheduling and advanced navigation, which can lead to missed spots. Best suited for pet owners with hard floors who want a simple, affordable cleaner.

Professional reviewers consider the Tikom G8000 Max a solid entry-level robot, emphasizing its high 5000 Pa suction, long 150-minute runtime, low 60 dB noise and ultra-slim design as strong points, while noting the lack of a self-empty dock and only basic gyroscope navigation as limitations.
Everyday users who have tried the G8000 Max generally praise its powerful suction, ability to clean under furniture, long battery life and quiet operation, with few complaints beyond the expected need to manually empty the bin and the basic navigation on cluttered floors.
“10/10”
“smart sweep”
“Reliable pet hair pickup, easy app/voice setup, quiet operation, and hassle-free 60-day emptying reduce manual vacuuming.”
Professional reviewers consider the Lefant M210 a strong entry-level robot that excels in suction power, ultra-thin design, and pet-hair handling, offering good value for its price. However, they point out its lack of mapping, recharge-and-resume, and limited mopping as notable shortcomings.
Everyday users generally praise the easy setup, reliable scheduling, quiet operation, and the robot's ability to reach under furniture. Recurring complaints focus on random navigation that can miss areas, occasional getting stuck on thresholds, and a basic app that lacks advanced features.
Professional reviewers commend the Shark AV2511AE for its precise 360° LiDAR navigation, strong 650 W suction, and impressive 120-minute runtime with recharge-and-resume. The UltraClean mode and bagless 60-day self-empty base are highlighted as standout features that bring mid-range performance close to premium models. However, they note the SharkClean app is comparatively basic and that occasional navigation hiccups and the absence of a mopping function keep it from being a top-tier all-in-one robot.
Everyday users praise the robot's reliable pet-hair pickup, quiet operation, and the convenience of a 60-day self-emptying base that minimizes manual maintenance. Recurring complaints focus on occasional mapping glitches in complex layouts, shorter real-world battery life in intensive modes, and the bulky size of the self-empty base.
Professional reviewers and editors position the ILIFE V2 as a budget-friendly entry-level robot vacuum that excels in simplicity, slim design, and pet-hair handling, while acknowledging its lack of smart navigation and app-based scheduling as trade-offs for the lower price point.
Everyday users appreciate the V2's ability to pick up pet hair on hard floors, its quiet operation, and the convenience of a large dustbin and long runtime, but they commonly report occasional sensor hiccups, the need to manually intervene when the unit gets stuck, and disappointment over the absence of app control or mopping functions.
