Design
The M7 Pro looks similar to the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI, with a round design and a raised laser sensor on top.At 13.65 inches in diameter, it’s medium-sized. It’s big enough to house a powerful motor, but not too large to be practical. One thing that does stand out is the large, smokestack-style vent on the top. This vent provides excellent airflow, and allows the M7 Pro’s powerful motor to maximize suction. However, it increases the height of the unit to 3.8 inches. This is a bit tall to fit under most dressers and sofas. But for other navigation purposes, it’s a non-issue. It boasts 24 sensors, including anti-fall and anti-collision sensors, to avoid obstacles like stairs, to map your home, and to plan the most efficient cleaning path.
Build & button
The case of the vacuum is constructed from a matte black plastic. This finish is discreet, and it’s also easy to keep clean. On top, there’s a single toggle button that can be used for manual control. Press the power half to start a cleaning cycle. Press the home half of the button, and the M7 Pro will return to its charging station.
Filter
I like that the robot has a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter, which captures allergens from the air. If you’re an suffer from allergies like I do, make sure to look for a vacuum with a HEPA filter.
Sensor
The raised laser sensor, which helps it navigate and map your home, makes the M7 Pro a touch taller than other floor-cleaning robots I’ve tested, but it will still fit under most furniture.
Apps
You can control the M7 Pro using the included remote, with your phone via the ProscenicHome app (available for Android and iOS), or with your voice using Amazon Alexa. From the app, you can switch cleaning modes, schedule cleaning sessions, create virtual boundaries so the robot avoids certain areas, and select specific rooms or areas you want vacuumed and mopped. The app also keeps a record of cleaning jobs, showing the date and time, duration, and square meters covered (there doesn’t seem to be a way to change this to square feet). You can click into each record to see a map of the exact route.
Cleaning mode
You can also choose between three different cleaning modes. By default, the M7 Pro will operate as a simple sweeper vacuum. This is ideal for everyday use, cleaning up normal household dust, dirt, and animal hair. If you have a more demanding mess, such as a spill, you can switch over to mopping mode. Just make sure to fill the water reservoir first, and you’ll be ready to clean up stubborn messes. For even more versatility, you can mop and vacuum simultaneously. Keep in mind, though, that this isn’t a good idea if your vacuum is crossing a carpet. It’s best to leave the mop off unless you’re strictly covering solid floors.
Battery run-time
The M7 Pro is powered by a 5,200mAh battery that Proscenic says allows for 90 to 150 minutes of cleaning, depending on which mode you’re using. Fully charging it back up takes around 4 to 4.5 hours.
On its first test run, the M7 Pro covered around 530 square feet in one hour, and still had 60 percent battery life remaining. I ran it on Standard Mode for this first test, but there’s also a Powerful Mode that increases the suction power and volume, and a Quiet Mode for sensitive ears. On subsequent tests, I noticed that Powerful Mode drains battery more quickly than Standard Mode, which isn’t surprising.
In testing, the M7 Pro cleaned for a total of 103 minutes in Standard Mode before it got down to 28 percent battery and went back to its base station to recharge. I tried to run it again to see how much longer the battery would last, but it said to please wait until it was fully charged to start another cleaning job.
That’s just average battery life, beating the iRobot Roomba S9+, which lasted a mere 60 minutes in testing, but coming nowhere close to the Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI’s 170 minutes.
Setup
Setting up the M7 Pro is easy. You connect the power cord to the charging base, plug it in, and place the base against the wall. Proscenic recommends placing the base station around 1.6 feet away from objects on either side and 3.9 feet across from anything.
To turn the robot on, press and hold the Power button on top and the light will turn blue, then press the Home button to send it to its charging dock. Once the robot starts charging, the light turns green.
Download the ProscenicHome app, create an account, select Add device, select the M7 Pro from the list, then press and hold the M7 Pro’s Power and Home buttons at the same time for five seconds to begin connecting it to your Wi-Fi. You then enter your Wi-Fi password in the app, jump over to your phone’s Wi-Fi settings, and select the Proscenic device (which appears as a network), then return to the ProscenicHome app and wait for it to finish connecting.
I had no problem setting it up and getting it connected to my Wi-Fi. It was simple and intuitive, and took only a couple of minutes.
Proscenic M7 Pro LDS robot vacuum cleaner performance reviews
During its first test run, the M7 Pro only got stuck once after picking up a portion of a ripped up dog toy hidden under my TV stand. I removed the toy from its brush, and it completed the job without incident. During subsequent runs, it got caught on long curtains.
The robot had no problem traversing different types of flooring, including carpet, laminate, and tile. It automatically increases its suction power to Maximum when it detects carpet, a feature I’ve only seen on pricier robot vacuums like the $800 Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI. When it rolls off a carpet, it automatically lowers the suction power.
As it works, the robot maps your home and its exact cleaning path in the app. A glance at the map shows exactly where it is and all the places it has already covered. The app also shows how many square meters it’s covered, its remaining battery, and total cleaning time.
Weaker robot vacuums—like the iLife A9, which has 1,000Pa of suction power—struggle to clean all the debris from medium-pile carpet, but the M7 Pro has no such issues. Thanks to its strong 2,600Pa suction power, it cleans hard floors, low-pile, and medium-pile carpeting equally well. The trade-off is that it’s not the quietest robot vacuum I’ve tested, especially when it’s working over carpeting.
To clean a labeled area, tap More > Multi-Zone Cleaning, select the rooms you want to clean, and press Clean Now. Once I got it set up, the Area Clean feature worked as advertised; after selecting the rooms I wanted it to clean, the robot went right there and got to work.
Setting up Area Cleaning in the app is simple. You select Custom Area > Add Custom Area, and a box will pop up asking for the area name. Type in the name of the room, press Confirm, and a green box appears on the map. Move the green box to the room you want to label and press Save Area Temporarily. You can add up to five Custom Areas.
The M7 Pro works well with Alexa voice commands. To set it up, I opened the Alexa app on my phone, then searched for and enabled the ProscenicRobot skill. I then used my ProscenicHome account credentials to sign in, and it was good to go.
All you have to do is say, “Alexa, ask smart bot to start cleaning,” and the M7 Pro fires right up in Auto Mode. You can say, “Alexa, ask smart bot to stop cleaning,” to pause the robot, or say, “Alexa, ask smart bot to start charging,” to end a session early.
When finished, the M7 Pro successfully went back to its base station on its own. After more than 100 minutes cleaning my floors, its 600ml bin was completely filled with dust, pet hair, and a few stray feathers that must have escaped my pillows. The floors looked and felt a lot cleaner. The dustbin is easy to remove and empty.
Mopping
The M7 Pro works best as a vacuum, but it can also mop. It comes with a tiny 110ml water tank, onto which you attach a machine-washable mop cloth. It also comes with a package of 10 disposable mop cloths.
Besides its small water tank, its main mopping limitation is that it doesn’t automatically avoid carpeting. For this reason, it’s best if you use Area Mode when mopping, so it stays in a designated space like your kitchen or bathroom. When used this way, it works fine. I used it to mop my kitchen floor in Area Mode, and it left the tile looking clean and smudge-free.
Still, if you have the base station on carpeting, you’ll want to babysit it when it’s mopping and remove the water tank when it’s done. Otherwise, when it goes back to its base station, it will get your carpet wet.

In comparison, the Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI has a 240ml water tank, which is more than double the size of the M7 Pro’s, and it automatically detects carpeting and keeps away from it while mopping.
Maintenance
Proscenic makes an automatic dust collector for the M7 Pro, which can empty the bin without your help, like the iRobot Roomba s9+ and i7+. As someone who is allergic to dust, I love the idea of never having to come in contact with it.
Unfortunately, the automatic dust collector doesn’t come with the M7 Pro—you have to pay an extra $100 for it. That brings the total price for the robot and the automatic dust collector to $600, which is still $200 less than the Roomba i7+, the cheapest iRobot model that can empty its own dustbin.
When I first tested the M7 Pro, the automatic dust collector was out of stock in the US, but it has since become available and Proscenic sent me one to test.
The automatic dust collector is easy to set up and use. You just swap it out for the standard base station that comes with the M7 Pro, and it will recharge the robot and automatically suck up the contents of its bin after every cleaning job.
On the front of the unit, there’s a dust indicator light, which flashes yellow when the bag is full and needs to be replaced. Proscenic recommends replacing the bag once every six to eight weeks, but that will depend on how often you use the vacuum.
Over the past two weeks, I have run the vacuum around a half dozen times, and the bag still isn’t anywhere close to full. When the robot docks after a cleaning job, the automatic dust collector’s fan kicks on. It gets pretty loud for a couple seconds—about the volume of an old-school standing vacuum—as it sucks all the debris from the robot’s bin into the dust bag.
In testing, the automatic dust collector has done a thorough job emptying the robot’s bin. It successfully sucked up all the dust and hair, leaving behind only a few larger crumbs.
The automatic dust collector does a thorough job emptying the robot’s bin.
If you own or are thinking about buying the M7 Pro, I highly suggest spending the extra $100 for the automatic dust collector, especially if you’re suffer from allergies. It significantly cuts down on maintenance and your exposure to dust.
Without this accessory, you need to manually empty the dustbin into the trash every time the robot completes a job. Proscenic also recommends dusting off the HEPA filter and washing the dustbin with water once a week. You should also clean the main roller brush and side brushes weekly.

I LOVE THIS ROBOT VACUUM – WORKS GREAT & GREAT FEATURES
I researched a zillion robot vacuums before deciding to purchase this one. I wanted one with the mapping feature, high suction, good dustbin size, good battery life, the ability to recharge and resume AND spinning brushes on both sides (not just on one side). Having the mopping feature wasn’t a big deal to me, but it’s a nice plus. I also wanted one that didn’t roam about randomly, but in an orderly fashion. This one was on sale and was a reasonable price (IMHO).
The ad showed an automatic dustbin emptier but mine didn’t come with one. Contacted mfgr. and they said you have to buy it separately (that IS stated in the ad, I see that now, but it was somewhat deceiving to have it pictured – assumed I was getting what was pictured…!)
Regardless, the vacuum works perfectly – I’m amazed at how much dirt it keeps finding. We raised our couches so that it can go underneath; it’s a bit taller due to the laser eye thing. The dustbin is easy to remove and empty. The app wasn’t too difficult to install, still haven’t quite figured everything out (wish there were directions on all the features). The mapping is great – very impressed with that. Have only had one instance where it got stuck because my husband left his shoes out and one of the laces got twisted in the vac’s brush. No big deal.
We have several levels to our home so I have to carry Lola (that’s her name) to the various levels – but I just push the button and she vacuums away. Then tells me she can’t return to base – and I carry her back.
The mopping feature is a little lame, like most, I think – basically dragging a “swiffer pad” around, but it’s better than nothing. I believe these pads are disposable, but I’ve been rinsing them out and re-using them. Rather small water tank.
One problem I hadn’t thought of was that Lola doesn’t know the difference between carpeting and hard floor surface – so you can’t let her loose to mop or your carpet will be mopped, too. If there’s a way around this, I don’t know what it is.
If I had enough money, I would buy another one of these, I love it that much. I really do highly recommend it.
