About Tikom
Tikom is a smart-home cleaning brand that, according to its own site, was founded in 2021 with a stated goal of using technology "guided by human connections" to free people from household chores. The catalog splits into two lines: robot vacuum-and-mop combos (the L8000 PLUS, L8000 PRO, and G8000 Max) and cordless stick vacuums spanning the V450 through V850 series, sold factory-direct online and through Amazon rather than through big-box retail.
The Tikom V500, the model we tested in our cordless-vacuums-for-pet-hair roundup, pairs a 450W motor rated at 40,000 Pa of suction with a 7-stage HEPA filtration cyclone system and a 1.3-liter dust cup, more than three times the capacity of the roughly 0.4-liter cups common on inexpensive pet vacuums. In our own testing on a home with shedding dogs, its anti-tangle brush head kept the roller clear of wound fur through repeated cleaning sessions, and a color LED touchscreen plus wall-mounted charging dock brought conveniences we typically only see on pricier machines. The V500 has drawn nearly 6,000 verified Amazon reviews at a 4.3-star average.

Tikom products we rated highly
Tikom V500 Cordless Vacuum
In our testing on a home with shedding dogs, the V500's 40,000 Pa suction and anti-tangle motorized brush head kept the roller free of the wound-up fur that plagues cheap bristle brushrolls. Its 1.3-liter dust cup is more than three times the size of the tiny cups typical of inexpensive pet vacuums, so you can clean a full floor of the house before stopping to empty it. A color LED touchscreen shows battery, suction mode, and fault warnings at a glance, and the included wall-mounted charging dock keeps it stored and charged between uses. Nearly 6,000 verified Amazon reviews back a 4.3-star average.

- Independently founded in 2021 as a smart-home cleaning brand, selling factory-direct online and through Amazon rather than through traditional big-box retail.
- 40,000 Pa of suction and a 7-stage HEPA filtration cyclone system on the V500, rated to capture 99.99 percent of fine dust particles, specs typically reserved for pricier machines.
- A 1.3-liter dust cup on the V500, more than three times the size of the roughly 0.4-liter cups common on inexpensive pet vacuums, meaning fewer mid-clean stops to empty it.
- In our own testing on a home with shedding dogs, the anti-tangle brush head kept the roller free of wound fur through repeated cleaning sessions, a common failure point for cheap bristle brushrolls.
- Nearly 6,000 verified Amazon reviews back a 4.3-star average for the V500, a substantial real-world sample for a vacuum at this price point.
