Proscenic Q10: Full Review 2026
The Proscenic Q10 raises the bar for mid-range robot vacuums with next-generation dToF navigation and 8,000 Pa suction power. Faster, more precise and twice as powerful as its predecessor, it delivers outstanding value for anyone who wants thorough autonomous cleaning without paying flagship prices. Whether you have hard floors, carpets or a mix of both, this robot vacuum handles every surface with confidence.
Design and form factor
Standing just 9.7 cm tall, the Proscenic Q10 sports an ultra-slim profile that glides effortlessly beneath sofas, beds and TV units. In modern homes where the space under low furniture remains a blind spot for bulkier robots, this is a genuine advantage that means fewer missed areas at every clean. The 350 ml dustbin slides out and empties in seconds, while the 250 ml water tank feeds the mopping pad for the 2-in-1 cleaning function. The main brush features an anti-tangle design that prevents long hair and pet fur from wrapping around the roller — a significant time-saver when it comes to upkeep, particularly in households with cats or dogs. The unit adopts a clean circular form with a matte black finish that blends unobtrusively into any interior. Sensors arranged around the entire perimeter provide full 360-degree obstacle awareness. Thanks to its compact diameter, it also navigates narrow hallways and between chair legs without difficulty.
Vacuuming and mopping performance
The Q10 delivers 8,000 Pa of suction — exactly double the Q8 Max. That extra power makes a tangible difference on low- and medium-pile carpets, where embedded dust and debris resist weaker robots. The carpet detection sensor automatically switches to maximum power whenever the Q10 rolls onto a textile surface, with no manual input required. On hard floors — tile, hardwood, vinyl — Eco mode is more than adequate and keeps noise down to just 60 dB, among the quietest in its class. Even during sleep or video calls, the robot barely registers as background noise. The 2-in-1 mopping function draws from the 250 ml tank with three flow levels adjustable through the Proscenic Home app. The Q10 vacuums and mops simultaneously in a single pass, making daily hard-floor maintenance genuinely effortless. While stubborn stains still require manual attention, the mopping function delivers convincing results for everyday dirt and light spills.
Battery life and charging
Powered by a 3,200 mAh battery, the Proscenic Q10 runs for up to 200 minutes in Eco mode and covers up to 230 m² on a single charge. That is more than enough for large flats and multi-storey houses — even generously sized detached homes are completed in a single session. When the battery runs low mid-clean, the Q10 returns to its dock, recharges to the required level and picks up exactly where it left off. This recharge-and-resume feature ensures complete coverage even in the largest homes without any manual intervention whatsoever.
Navigation and mapping
The Q10 is equipped with a dToF (direct Time-of-Flight) sensor, a next-generation navigation technology that is faster and more accurate than conventional LiDAR. Unlike rotating LiDAR, dToF directly measures the flight time of infrared photons, resulting in more reliable mapping in total darkness and better detection of slim obstacles such as chair legs and cables. The Q10 maps a standard home in just 15 minutes with 98% coverage and stores up to five separate maps — ideal for multi-storey properties. Through the Proscenic Home app you can set no-go zones, virtual walls and priority cleaning areas. Scheduled cleaning lets you programme automatic sessions room by room — the living room in the morning, the kitchen after lunch. The robot also works with Alexa and Google Home for convenient voice control. Active obstacle avoidance means it navigates around objects left on the floor — shoes, toys, cables — without pushing them aside or getting stuck.
Maintenance and accessories
Keeping the Proscenic Q10 in top shape is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. The 350 ml dustbin empties with one motion and rinses clean under the tap. The filter should be cleaned fortnightly and replaced roughly every three months — replacement filters are available as accessories. The anti-tangle brush dramatically reduces hair build-up, though a monthly wipe-down of the roller is still recommended for optimal suction performance. The Q10 does not include a self-emptying base — if hands-free dustbin management is a priority, the Proscenic Q8 Max with its 3-litre station is the natural step up within the range.
Our verdict
The Proscenic Q10 stands out as the smart mid-range choice among robot vacuums. Highly precise dToF navigation, doubled suction at 8,000 Pa, an ultra-slim 9.7 cm body and 200 minutes of runtime — it ticks every box for effective autonomous cleaning in any home. The only trade-off is the lack of a self-emptying base, a perfectly reasonable compromise at this attractive price point. For anyone who wants cutting-edge Proscenic technology without the flagship price tag and is happy to empty the dustbin manually, the Q10 is the obvious recommendation.
