JONR T5 Pro Gen 2

Suction in pascal, as the maker measures it. More pascal helps on carpet, but it says little about how well the robot picks grit off a hard floor.

A brush that guides hair to the side instead of letting it wind around the shaft. It saves the cutting work in homes with long hair or pets.

How the mop is built: flat pads, two spinning discs or a roller. Discs press harder on dried-on dirt, a roller rinses itself while it works.

The pad slides out along a wall or a kickboard, so the last few centimetres are mopped as well.

The dock empties the robot’s dust bin, usually after every run. You only empty the dock’s bag or bin.

The dock washes the mop for you, so you do not rinse it by hand.

The dock dries the mop afterwards, so it does not sit there wet and start to smell.

Drying is done with warm air instead of cold. It is faster and it helps against smell.

How the robot maps your home and follows that map. Lidar measures with a laser and works in the dark, a camera looks along and recognises more.

How long the robot cleans on one charge, at its quietest setting. After that it recharges and carries on where it stopped.

Which voice assistants the robot works with, such as Google Assistant or Alexa.
