Equipped with an efficient navigation system, the Proscenic M8 Pro is a good pick for bare floors, carpets, and homes with pets. It has an excellent canister size and good battery life. However, it is noisy.

Product Snapshot

Overview

The Proscenic M8 Pro is a 2021-model mid-range robot vacuum that offers self-cleaning functionality for homes. Like some of the top-rated robot vacuums today, the M8 Pro has a mopping function, making it a good choice for people with pets. It has a self-emptying charging station that puts dustbin emptying on autopilot. This vacuum works with a mobile app, allowing users to map out the cleaning path. It follows a Y-shaped cleaning pattern.

With a 5200 mAh built-in lithium-ion battery and smart features, including Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa, this vacuum is effortless to operate. The anti-drop and anti-collision tech of the Proscenic M8 Pro enhances safety.

Consensus

our Verdict

The Proscenic M8 Pro is an excellent vacuum for hard floors, pet hair, and mopping. However, if you desire a more effective oscillating mop, check out our Yeedi Vac 2 Pro review. The Proscenic M8 Pro uses LiDAR technology to map out the room, and it’s compatible with the mobile app that enables setting local zones and schedules.

This device supports voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant for effective cleaning and has a runtime of about 100 minutes in the high-power mode. However, it produces 80 dB of noise, ranking the worst among our certified tested robot vacuums. It has a 0.3L water tank, and although its 0.28L dirt cup is small, it’s complemented by the 4.3L bag in the self-emptying docking station. However, if you need a slightly bigger dust cup, browse our Yeedi Vac Max review.

ReasonS to Buy

  • Good navigation system
    • The Proscenic M8 Pro has an efficient, thorough LIDAR sensor-equipped navigation system that works well, so it is great for bare floors, pet messes, and mopping.

  • Great cleaning abilities
    • The Proscenic M8 Pro is great for floors, pet hair, and mopping, thanks to its effective cleaning abilities.

  • Excellent battery life
    • Featuring a battery life of about 100 minutes, the Proscenic M8 Pro robot vacuum ranks above average among our certified tested robot vacuums.

  • Canister size
    • Although its 280 ml dust cup is small, the self-emptying charging station more than makes up for it.

Reason to Avoid

  • High recurring costs
    • This vacuum comes with a 4.3-liter disposable dirt bag that may need to be replaced every so often. It also requires semi-regular replacement of the brush and mop pad.

  • Loud operation
    • With a tested noise rating in the region of 80 dB, the Proscenic M8 is the noisiest vacuum robot vacuum in its category.

The 2-liter dirt compartment of the Roborock S8+ is much bigger than the 0.28-liter one on the Proscenic M8 Pro, which also has a 4.3L dirtbag in the self-emptying docking station. However, while the Proscenic model comes with a HEPA filter, the Roborock doesn’t. Check out our Roborock S8+ review for details.

The Proscenic M8 Pro vacuum mops are in addition to dry cleaning, unlike the iRobot Roomba i7+, which is limited to dry cleaning functions. Its battery also lasts longer on a single charge. However, the iRobot Roomba i7+ boasts a smarter camera-based navigation system that is more efficient than the LiDAR navigation system of the Proscenic model. Be sure to check out our iRobot Roomba i7+ review to learn more.

Equipped with a self-emptying docking station, the Proscenic M8 Pro is more convenient than the Proscenic 850T, which lacks a self-emptying docking station. The 850T costs less to buy, however. Otherwise, both are excellent robot vacuums with mopping functions.
