Proscenic M7 Pro UK review (2024)

In our challenging cleaning tests, we put the Proscenic M7 Pro through the wringer in our "vacuum arena".

Here, the little household helper has to show what it's made of on laminate and on carpets (short pile / medium-pile and long pile).

In addition to these suction reviews, we also take a close look at the performance of the Proscenic M7 in our home.

A few details of the Proscenic M7 Pro:

• Suction power of 2600 Pa.

• 3 different suction levels

• HEPA filter is included

• Large dust container (600 ml) with a practical dust retention lid

As always, we used the highest cleaning level for our reviews.

Suction test on Hardwood

At the beginning of our review, the Proscenic M7 Pro had to show what it’s got on hardwood floors.

Usually, hard floors don’t pose a threat to good robot vacuum cleaners.

The M7 Pro also did an excellent job on laminate.

Result for lentils (47 of 50 g removed | 94 %)

Due to the rotating movement of the side brushes it happens quite easily that grainy lentils will be thrown around on hard floors.

This may cause the opposite of what we actually want: the dirt might be scattered around the room instead of being cleaned up.

The Proscenic M7 Pro didn’t have any troubles with that.

The two side brushes of the robot vacuum rotate at a good pace.

That’s how the robot vacuum cleaner manages to sweep the lentils to the suction opening to remove them.

Result for oat flakes (49 of 50 g removed | 98 %)

The Proscenic M7 Pro also came out with flying colors when we put it to the review with our second type of dirt - oatmeal.

The result:

An almost perfect cleaning result (49 of 50 g were cleaned up).

Result for sand (48 of 50 g removed | 96 %)

Vacuum robots have to be on top of their game to clean up heavy sand.

The Proscenic M7 Pro did a great job here.

Step by step, the little household helper worked its way through the sand.

It managed to clean up an astonishing amount of 48 g of the dispersed sand.

And from what we’ve seen so far, it’s an outstanding result!

Proscenic M7 Pro - Suction test on carpet

Next up, we checked out what the performance of the Proscenic M7 Pro is like on more difficult surfaces (carpet).

We can tell you this much:

The robot vacuum cleaner has a carpet detection function.

The Proscenic M7 Pro automatically switches to the strongest suction level as soon as it moves over the fluffy surface.

This worked quite well in our reviews - it only had a small delay.

It’s a very useful feature!

Below you can see an overview of the cleaning review on low-pile and high-pile carpets .

Cleaning review result on low-pile carpet

Result on high-pile carpet

We can say this without a shade of a doubt:

The Proscenic M7 Pro had a good performance on carpet.

The robot vacuum didn’t have any problems with lentils on either low-pile or high-pile carpets.

It removed 49 of 50 g (98%) on both carpet types, which is an outstanding result.

The Proscenic M7 pro didn’t show any mercy to the oat flakes on carpets, either.

Up on one side...

... and down the other.

96% of the oat flakes (48 of 50 grams) were quickly removed on both short and high carpets.

A great result!

How did the Proscenic M7 pro do sand suction review?

It was also a very satisfying result.

Review result for sand on a short carpet (30 of 50 grams | 60%)

Review result for sand on a long pile carpet (34 out of 50 grams | 68%)

That’s a pretty good review result - but it’s by far not outstanding.

The Proscenic M7 pro thus ranks upper third. The robot vacuum cleaner from Taiwan can’t really hold a candle to the real "sand suction champions".

But for everyday use, the suction performance is more than sufficient, even on carpets.

Proscenic M7 Pro in everyday use

As usual, we also observed the performance of the Proscenic M7 Pro in our flat over a longer period of time.

And the robot vacuum won us over.

The vacuum cleaner is very easy to operate (whether via the app or remote control).

The flat is cleaned quickly and seamlessly.

The combination of the two side brushes and the main brush works very well.

It effortlessly cleaned up the everyday dirt in our 80 m² flat (no pets, mainly hard floors).

The luxury of the self-emptying bin is also something that we don’t want to miss in our everyday life anymore.

Being annoyed by emptying the mobile dust container - that’s a thing of the past.

The Proscenic M7 Pro cleaned the skirting boards very well.

The Robot Vacuum Cleaner moves close to the skirtings.

The long side brushes collect the dirt and transport it towards the suction opening.

And the cleaning of corners?

The Proscenic M7 Pro coped very well with these, too.

The side brushes are quite long.

That’s why the robot vacuum collects and removes even deep-seated dirt corners.

Even though the Proscenic M7 Pro has a round shape, it puts up a pretty good show when it comes to cleaning corners.

Hardly any competitor in the UK had a better performance here.

Thorough and efficient navigation is essential for a good cleaning result.

After all, no matter how good the suction power of the little household helper may be, if it wanders around your home without any orientation and leaves out spots, the robot vacuum cleaner won’t be useful.

Before the vacuum cleaner can get down to business, it has to create and save a map of your home.

Map Creation and Saving (Mapping)

It will create a map of your home during its first cleaning trip.

You can watch live in the app as it completes the map of your home step by step.

We’d advise you to tidy up your home as much as possible and open all the doors before your little household helper starts his first cleaning adventure in your home. That’ll make it a lot easier for him.

You will find the map of your flat app at the end of the first cleaning trip.

The Proscenic M7 Pro automatically partitions the room. But don’t worry, if you don’t agree with this, you can change it manually in the app under the menu item "Automatic partitioning".

Now you can use the saved map to individualise your daily floor cleaning (e.g. set up no-go zones, timer function, etc.).

We’ll get more into detail about the individual functions and settings chapter "Mobile phone app".

Several maps can be saved for multiple floors

The Proscenic M7 Pro can save multiple maps for multiple floors.

You can carry the small household helper and its charging station to the second floor and start cleaning as soon as another map of the second floor has been created.

The robot vacuum automatically uses the right map.

You can also edit and customise the map from the second floor according to your wishes.

Precise Laser Navigation

The Proscenic M7 Pro uses the tried and reviewed laser navigation technology.

A laser distance sensor (lds) that's located in the tower constantly scans the surroundings.

This way, your little household helper always knows where it’s at and where it needs to go next.

PS: The laser tower has a built-in bumper. With this the robot vacuum notices collisions (e.g. with the edge of the bed) and finds another way.

The navigation worked very well in our review.

The robot vacuum moves around the flat with high precision. No spots or rooms are left out or forgotten.

But its speed is also quite impressive.

For our 80 m² flat (44 m² cleaning area), the Proscenic M7 Pro took only ~48 minutes.

With this speed, the M7 Pro is midrange.

Furthermore, the robot vacuum won’t need good lighting conditions because it’s got the laser navigation.

This means you can even have your flat cleaned at night.

It doesn’t really matter for the vacuum cleaning robot.

Obstacle Detection

Larger obstacles (such as cupboards, tables, etc.) are marked directly on the map and the vacuum robot knows its way around them.

The Proscenic M7 Pro uses the bumper to detect small and especially flat and narrow obstacles.

As soon as the vacuum encounters this kind of an obstacle, it recognises it as this and looks for another cleaning path.

Control with buttons on the robot vacuum cleaner

You can control the Proscenic M7 Pro by using the buttons that are located on the robot vacuum.

You can start, stop and send the robot vacuum back to the charging station with it...

... but that’s neither smart nor comfortable.

Remote Control

The remote control has a few more functions and more flexibility in stock.

There’s not too many robotic vacuum cleaners that come with a remote control.

We have to give the Proscenic M7 Pro some credits for this for many reasons.

Well, not everybody has a smartphone.

It comes in very handy for older people, because they can use the remote control to operate the robot vacuum.

A remote control also makes sense in terms of data protection.

By using the remote control, you don’t have to connect the robot vacuum cleaner to the wifi. That way it’s impossible that data could be exchanged or misused.

Proscenic M7 Pro Mobile App

With its ProscenicHome app (iOS / Android), the manufacturer gives you the option to control the robot vacuum cleaner with your smartphone.

You’ll only get access to all the bells and whistles of the Proscenic M7 Pro by using the app.

Daily floor cleaning will be easy-peasy with the help of the numerous functions and setting options.

Installation

After you pull the robot vacuum out of the box, plug it into its charging base.

Meanwhile, you can set up the Proscenic M7 Pro App (ProscenicHome).

That’s quick and easy. You only have to do the following steps:

• Create an account with a password.

• Add your Proscenic M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner.

• Press and hold down the Power and Home buttons simultaneously for five seconds to connect to the Wi-Fi.

• Enter your Wi-Fi password.

• Done.

Features of the App

The Proscenic M7 Pro mobile app has a large number of functions to offer.

You can access the full range of settings and functions via the menu item "More".

Here are all the most important features at a glance:

• Select cleaning modes (Low, Medium, High)

• Set up no-go zones (restricted areas)

• Create cleaning schedule (timer) ("Regular cleaning")

• Activate Y-shaped wiping (Proscenic M7 Pro moves back and forth, which improves the wiping result slightly)

• Connect / separate rooms (If you are not 100% satisfied with the automatic room division)

• Activate deep cleaning (The Proscenic M7 Pro cleans the area twice)

• Set up "custom areas" that shall be cleaned. This is a good substitute for the missing "single room cleaning" function. Set up a zone for each room. Then you can click on the item "Multi-zone cleaning" and have the rooms cleaned individually if required.

• Spot Cleaning

• Switch the LED lighting on or off (very useful if the charging station is bedroom, for example).

• Set up Do-Not-Disturb times (the vacuum cleaner will not clean during this period)

• View cleaning history "Cleaning record" (time, cleaning duration, cleaned area in m²)

• Automatic suction station use on/off

• Naming: Give your Proscenic M7 Pro your own name

• Choose your location (UK)

Conclusion on the App Control

We can’t really complain about the range of functions of the Proscenic M7 Pro app.

Nevertheless, the app has its quirks and special features.

For example, the translation of the app is not completely error-free.

However, after a little trial and error, you will soon get the hang of all the terms.

Unfortunately, you cannot zoom in on the map. This makes it a “jiggery pokery” to set up no-go zones or partitioning space (dividing / connecting).

But you’ll get used to that too after a while.

Furthermore, the programming of the app doesn’t always work out well. Sometimes it takes a few seconds until the robot vacuum is "online". Some functions didn’t exactly go as they should.

In summary, we can say that the range of functions was good. However, the translation errors and the minor software-related difficulties marred the overall impression.

Thus, the app can’t be compared to mobile apps of top competitors (e.g. Roborock, iRobot, or Ecovacs).

Voice Commands with Alexa

You can also use Alexa with the Proscenic M7 Pro to manage your smart-home.

To activate voice control with Alexa, you have to do the following:

• Open Amazon and type "Proscenic Home Skill" search box.

• Then log in with your login data from the Proscenic M7 Pro Home App.

• Press "Activate Skill".

• Done

You can only give the basic commands with the voice control: Start cleaning, stop cleaning, return to the charging station.

Nevertheless, we think it’s a great feature that you can operate it via voice assistant.

The operating volume of the Proscenic M7 Pro depends on the selected suction power (cleaning modes).

We measured the following noise levels in our review:

• Lowest suction power: 60 dB (quite mode)

• Medium suction power: 70 dB

• Strongest suction power: 75 dB

The Proscenic M7 Pro is quite loud, especially at the strongest cleaning mode.

It’s not really pleasant to be in the same room when the robot vacuum is doing its job.

We usually chose the medium suction power in our flat.

The noise level was much lower then, but it’s still not really quiet.

The rollers in particular cause a somewhat loud, unpleasant driving noise.

The scope of delivery in the UK of the Proscenic M7 Pro includes quite a lot of nice extras.

There are many spare parts and accessories in the delivery box.

Here is a detailed overview of the scope of delivery:

• Proscenic M7 Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner

• Charging station with power cord

• 10 disposable mops

• 1 x Reusable mop

• 1 x HEPA filter

• 1 additional HEPA replacement filter

After unpacking, a rather unpleasant smell came from the robot vacuum. It disappeared after a few days/cleaning rounds, though.

All in all, we can say that:

The scope of delivery of the Proscenic M7 Pro is huge. A number of spare parts and accessories are included. Hardly any competitor brings more to the table.

You can get replacement dustbins at Amazon in the UK.

Alternatively, you can also use reusable, universal dustbin.
