Having used and liked several of Proscenic’s budget-friendly cordless vacuums, I was particularly curious to see what its new cordless wet/dry vacuum could do. The Proscenic F10 Pro combines vacuuming and mopping in an upright vacuum, providing users the means to clean hard floors with a single device.

Though none of its individual features is particularly remarkable, F10 Pro delivered consistently solid results that make it easy to recommend.

Design and power

The Proscenic F10 Pro has a slim profile with dirty- and clean-water tanks installed at the front and back of its body, respectively, and a mop roller in its floor brush. It comes in a white finish with gray accents. It’s a clean, modern look–a good thing, as the cleaner has to be stored in its charging dock and connected to a continuous power supply.

The vacuum is powered by a 6×2,600 mAh battery pack, which provides up to 30 minutes of runtime on a single charge. That’s sufficient for cleaning small to medium-sized spaces in one go, but larger homes may require multiple recharges. Switching to higher-intensity modes like Max or Suction will drain the battery more quickly.

Speaking of modes, there are three of them. Smart mode is the default for everyday cleaning tasks and automatically adjusts the vacuum’s settings based on dirt levels to optimize power and efficiency. Max mode ramps up the intensity for tough stains, while Suction mode is specifically designed for liquid spills.

The F10 Pro comes equipped with a 650ml clean water tank and a 500ml dirty water tank, allowing you to clean up to 970 square feet without needing to stop for refills. As you clean, it applies steady suction and fresh water as the mop roller spins at 550 rpm to wipe away floor gunk.

Setup and operation

Setup is limited to installing the vacuum’s handle into its body and connecting the power supply to its charging base. Operating it is as straightforward as any vacuum cleaner.

To start cleaning, you simply tap the power button and tilt the cleaner. Its self-propulsion system makes maneuvering nearly effortless, and the unit is light enough to steer easily around corners and furniture.

You can mop using tap water alone or infused with Proscenic’s multi-surface cleaning solution (a 500ml bottle is included).

Performance

In my testing, the Proscenic P10 Pro did a good job removing the dullness from my floors wrought by lots of daily foot traffic. It was particularly effective at dealing with sticky or stubborn stains like sauce, jelly, and toothpaste, making it a useful tool for kitchens and bathrooms.

To see how well it absorbs liquids, I poured a cup of milk on the floor, and the F10 Pro completely removed it in just four or five passes, no towels required.

Proscenic didn’t specify the suction power, but it’s strong enough to remove solid debris as well as liquid.

Keep in mind, though, that everything is sucked into the cleaner’s dirty-water tank. I know from experience that fishing soggy clumps of pet hair and food crumbs from these types of wet/dry vacuums is not at all pleasant, so if there was anything more than light dust on my floors, I first used a dedicated vacuum before mopping them with the F10 Pro.

During cleanings, you’re supplied with a steady flow of feedback. A function display on the handle keeps you apprised of the current suction mode, battery and water levels, and roller brush blockages, and a built-in multi-language voice assistant provides reminders when tanks need to be emptied or filled or it’s time for self-cleaning.

Maintenance and self-cleaning

After each cleaning, you need to empty the dirty-water tank to prevent odor buildup. The tank is removed easily, and a solid-liquid separator is included to keep those contents from mixing. This makes it easy to deposit all the solid debris in a garbage can and dump the wastewater down the sink drain or somewhere outside.

Once you reinstall the empty dirty-water tank and top off the clean one with fresh water, you can start the self-cleaning process by pressing the auto-clean button on top of the handle. This washes the mop roller and internal pipeline. It’s also recommended you manually clean the floor brush’s cover and suction port after every few uses to keep everything in working order.

Should you buy the Proscenic F10 Pro?

At $279, the Proscenic F10 Pro is an affordable solution for anyone looking for a versatile floor cleaner. It’s particularly well-suited to smaller homes or apartments where its combination of power, flexibility, and slim, storage-friendly design can be maximized.

People with larger homes may find the battery life prohibitively short, but otherwise, the F10 Pro can meet the everyday cleaning needs of any busy household.
