Ok so I am I dog groomer and I got this to use after I shop vac my salon so it can pick up what is left behind and then mop the floors for me. It can vacuum really well and makes my life easier and can find it’s charging station. There are some things that really annoy me. First of all, I followed the instructions for the mopping, and not a single drop of water came out. I pulled it apart over and over again trying different things and seriously not a drop came out on mopping mode. Then I pulled out these black little rubber stoppers on the bottom of it and water started coming out. NOWHERE in the instructions does it tell you to remove these. And even when I do remove these, the water comes out TOO fast and almost drenches the floor in a few minutes and runs out of water within 10 minutes max. So I either get absolutely nothing or it soaks my floor. Why do I have ti unplug the holes? But why does that let so much water out? When I change the water settings it does absolutely NOTHING. Like I can put it on the lowest water setting ajd it will still drench my floor. And because of it running out so fast I have to refill the thing 4/5 times to do where I need it to and then it’s a mess because water is pouring everywhere and it won’t stay full long enough to reattach it to the robot. Am I doing something wrong here???? like why don’t the instructions mention these plugs or why does the water not come out when they’re in? I’m so lost. Besides that it’s quiet and does what j need it to besides when the main brush gets stuck or it runs over a cord and then suddenly can’t function because it’s “on a cliff” or the bumper is stuck. It’s ok. For the price I can’t complain too much

1-year update: Its been a year, so Id thought Id revisit. Sadly, I have to knock another star off because I dont know why this vacuum cant find home when it needs to charge. If the vacuum is in another part of the house, say the kitchen or front hall, it gets totally confused about where it is in relation to the charging station. Why cant this thing just remember where it is? I have to pick the thing up then and place it down in front of the charger, which kind of defeats the point of automatic robot vacuum. Other than that, it still works pretty much. Update: Im downgrading my original review. Theres nothing smart about the smart feature. Im sitting here looking at a large patch of bare floor that needs to be vacuumed and Im pretty sure unless I intervene and physically move the vacuum, it wont get done. Ive watched this thing cover the same area 3 or 4 times, while missing entire areas completely. Moreover, I dont know if this vacuum can sense my presence, but it seems like sometimes it is always underfoot. Wherever I am, its there, banging into my feet. Also, Id love it if when it gets stuck, it just backs itself out rather than trying to wedge itself under a piece of furniture even more. Original review: The main thing to take away from this review is the this vacuum does an excellent job of doing what we needed it to do: eliminate the daily broom routine. Because we have multiple cats and the majority of our floor space are hard surfaces, we would spend a lot of time sweeping up cat litter and hair every morning. This vacuum has almost completely solved that problem. Yes, we still do have to bust out the broom for those hard-to-reach places and whatever the vacuum misses but those times are fewer and far between. That said, its not perfect. It doesnt perform well on uneven surfaces such as along edges of rugs and mats. Also, the little spinning brushes in the front are fairly competent in their intended purpose, but do sometimes scatter debris out instead of in. This means that if the vacuum has already gone over one area, and it flicks a bit of litter or dirt into that area, it might not pick it up unless it passes over that area again. Im not sure what is so smart about the Smart feature. Lately, the vacuum has been getting stuck more often in places that it didnt get stuck in before, which just means I cant leave the thing unattended like I would like to. Also, the mop feature is underwhelming. I mean it tries but it wont be replacing the mop any time soon. Dont buy this vacuum for the mop, its more an afterthought than something you should base your purchase on. Battery life is good, so far about an hour with suction set to high. This is more than adequate for our small area but isnt close to the advertised 2 hours. That said, ymmv.

We use this vacuum pretty much every day and we love it! We have recommended it to many friends who have all bought it and love it as well. It does a great job vacuuming and the self mapping works great as well. It is not meant for a deep mopping of the floor but it does a decent job for your everyday dust and dirt. We had a piece that broke and the company was very helpful and sent us a replacement piece. All around 5 stars! Very recommended

I was having issues with my robot vacuum and contacted customer support. They were quick to respond and ultimately were able to help me with a new device. I love this device and Im so glad they were able to help me with my problem!

For the price of this it works great. Navigates and goes to charger a lot better than the roomba I bought! Really gets almost everything

i love this vacuum and the great deal i got on it! i have two small dogs that shed so much and a 4 year old and a 5 month old so keeping the house clean was my number one priority. i used to have to sweep every morning like multiple times and it was so annoying. since i got this i just wake up before the boys, pick up anything big and set it in the living room and let it do it’s thing. it does take a few times for it to get the routine down and you to know the best place to start but after that it’s good. i can’t tell you how much stress that took off my plate with everything else. i love the home charger thing that comes with it too. it’s small but does the job. sometimes it takes a minute to find it but it gets there eventually. the mop feature is okay. it doesn’t get the tough spots but for being automatic about as much as i expected. anyways, it’s a good vacuum and if you keep it clean it will last!

I have only owned normal roombas before this and I really wanted something that mopped or would at least help with the upkeep of my floors. We don’t wear shoes in the house but somehow the floors are always in need of a mopping. They are mostly wood and vinyl in the kitchen. Or cement in the basement. Pros: 1) noise: this is a quieter robot than all but 1 other I’ve tried 2) intelligent programming: the functions even on random do a much better/smarter job of floor coverage than other bots I’ve used especially mopping where it generally goes in back and forth rows to cover the whole space 3) gentle: it is less rough about bumping into furniture and walls and does a good job going around legs of furniture making a nice circle. (We called another robot Agrobot and bully bot because it would shove furniture around and literally took off a chunk of paint on the corner of my cabinetry) 4) water quantity: this got the floors damp but not wet which is very important for wood especially and I could walk on them again about 20 minutes later without leaving footprints in the mop job 5) mop pad: the mop pad is the width of the vacuum (which is also a decent width and not as small as other models more like a roomba size) so it has better coverage. 6) cleaning tool attached: it comes with a little tool to cut hair and things off the vacuum roller that fits in right next to the collection bin. This was a great design choice 7) extras: they included extra of the front sweeper brushes, a filter, magnetic stripping to keep it out or off certain areas and even a small pack of zip ties to help keep your wires out of the tikom’s path. Cons: 1) receptacle size: the size of the collection tray isn’t large better than some but smaller than a vacuum only bot. It is good that it more separated than the one model I tried so it stays dry. The design is easy to empty. The water section is also very small but I haven’t had an issue with it running out in the about 700ish square feet where I run it. 2) No cleaning liquid: you’re only supposed to put water in the mop and there isn’t any option for somewhere to add a cleaning solution. This is true across all the mopbots I’ve tried so I just spray my cleaning solution straight on the floor, but it is a convenience I hope will be available on future models. 3) Home: it’s not the worst or the best at getting back on its dock. This seems to be a design flaw in robot vacuum in general though. Maybe I need to anchor the charger somehow so it can’t move. 4) Mop pad attachment: I have a hard time trying to get the pads looped over the 3 front pieces and velcroed flat on the pad, but it seems to work with other non proprietary pads as well so I’m happy enough with it. Overall I would recommend you try this if you want a mopping vacuum boy.

Great vacuum/ mop Saves you time and frustration I have this scheduled twice a day ( 2 kids and a dog) My floors are always clean Must buy!

Once I heard there were robot vacuums that mopped, I started looking. We have had a Roomba that doesnt mop for about 6 years. I bought the Tikom G8000 based on all the features compaired to the price. I’ve been using it for about a week now. In compairing the 2 machines, my Roomba was expensive like 800 dollars. The G8000 only 230. Roomba drives faster but driving faster doesnt get the job done faster and is more of a problem. The Roomba bangs into things hard. Harder than I or anyone would like. You can even see in the picture along the base of the black one all the scrapes from the moulding, chairs and doors. It is not gentle all. Roomba also has no pattern. To me, it makes no sense how it moves and it ends up going over the same places a bunch of times so it takes much longer. Roomba also seems to want to drive where it can get into trouble. Its weird, it really seems like it wants to get stuck or get caught up on things. I’m constantly yelling “ROOMBA! Don’t be an idiot!”. Roomba is LOUD. Another thing, it only has one brush that seems to mostly throw things around the room. Ok so remember this while I tell you about The Tikom. The very first thing you notice is its sleek look that is a tad bit smaller and lower than Roomba AND how extremely quiet it is! WOW we can watch TV or talk and relax in the same room with it now! It moves about 30% slower than Roomba but I tell ya, it gets the same job done in half the time. It has a pattern. A smart pattern and it has 2 brushes that are positioned so one brush feeds the other and sends the mess right into the vacuum to be sucked up. It gets everything. We have parrots. Small ones, but 3 of them. The seeds and other bird food that gets dropped on the floor is non stop. The fluff from the bottom of the cages and small feathers are always pushed out onto the floor. Tikom gets it all on one pass. Tikom is also SO MUCH GENTLER on everything even the dog just sat there because G8000 slowed down upon approaching him and touched him so softly then turned away. YAY no more banged up furniture or chipped paint! It’s also much easier to empty the trash compartment. Then there is the mop feature. Being that Tikom has its even movement pattern, it mops the whole kitchen without missing anything. It cleans so evenly on both tile and hardwood floors too. All in all I am very happy. Low price, quiet, careful, efficient and smart about how it moves. I doubt I will ever be frustrated with it or have to yell at it and it seems it’s built so well it will last many years. Its great when you can buy something and it is as good as it says it is.

For the money, you can’t go wrong. It works pretty well for both vacuuming and mopping. It doesn’t get stuck as often as I expected. As long as the dirt is aligned between the brushes it gets picked up. Wetting the mop cloth helps a lot. It’s inconsistent in negotiating rooms. It will successfully do a full clean without getting at stuck. The next day it will get stuck on something it had successfully negotiated the day before. It would be nice if you could control more with Alexa, or if she could relay the alerts. I don’t understand the point of the map, you can’t edit or use them at all. Overall it’s a great value, and it works well enough for what we need.
