Shark AI Ultra
Score: 76/100
Tikom Robot Vacuum
Score: 80/100Rankings
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.

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 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.
“Reliable pet hair pickup, easy app/voice setup, quiet operation, and hassle-free 60-day emptying reduce manual vacuuming.”
“Occasional mapping glitches in complex homes, shorter real-world battery on deep modes, and base size requiring space (e.g., 17.72 in H).”
