Proscenic Q10

Proscenic is a smaller name than Roborock or Ecovacs, but the Q10 punches above its price with dToF LiDAR, the more precise time-of-flight laser navigation usually reserved for pricier robots, rather than the cheaper triangulation LiDAR many budget bots use. Suction at 8,000Pa is genuinely strong for this tier, and the mop function adds basic hard-floor cleaning even without a dock to wash the pad.

Battery life runs long enough to cover a mid-size home in a single charge, and the robot runs quietly compared to older Proscenic models. Because there's no self-empty or auto-wash station, upkeep means emptying the bin and rinsing the mop pad by hand after each run. It's a fit for someone who wants dToF-grade mapping accuracy on a tight budget and is fine handling the maintenance a dock would otherwise take care of.
