Proscenic Q8 Max Robot Vacuum Mop

How long does the self-emptying station keep debris before needing to be emptied?

The self-emptying station can store debris for up to 60 days of regular cleaning before requiring manual emptying. This duration depends on your home size, cleaning frequency and debris levels. The station uses strong suction to transfer dirt from the robot's dustbin into a larger sealed bag, keeping your hands clean and reducing maintenance to just once every two months.

Can this robot vacuum clean multiple floors and remember different layouts?

Yes, the Q8 Max can store maps for up to 5 different floor levels. The 360° LiDAR system creates detailed maps of each floor within 15 minutes, remembering furniture placement, room boundaries and your custom preferences. You can set different cleaning schedules, no-go zones and suction levels for each floor through the app.

How effective is the 6000Pa suction on pet hair and carpets?

The 6000Pa suction power effectively removes pet hair from both hard floors and carpets, including embedded fur in carpet fibres. The dual side brushes sweep hair towards the main roller, whilst the HEPA filter captures 99.9% of allergens and fine particles. Many pet owners report significant reduction in visible hair and improved air quality after regular use.

What happens if the battery runs out during a cleaning cycle?

When the battery drops to around 20%, the robot automatically returns to its charging dock. After fully recharging (approximately 4-6 hours), it remembers exactly where it stopped cleaning and resumes from that point. This auto-recharge and resume feature ensures complete cleaning coverage even in large homes without any manual intervention required.

How does the mopping function work and what floor types is it suitable for?

The mopping function uses a water tank and microfibre pad to damp mop hard floors after vacuuming. You can adjust water flow levels through the app to suit different floor types. It works best on sealed hard floors like tile, laminate and sealed hardwood. The system avoids carpets when mopping mode is active, focusing only on appropriate surfaces.

Is the robot vacuum suitable for homes with stairs and different room levels?

The Q8 Max includes advanced cliff sensors that detect stairs and drops, preventing falls and damage. At 9.7cm tall, it easily cleans under most furniture whilst the intelligent sensors help it navigate around obstacles. However, it cannot climb stairs between floors - you'll need to manually move it to clean different levels, though it will remember each floor's map.

How loud is the vacuum during operation and can I schedule quiet cleaning times?

The Q8 Max operates at 64dB, which is quieter than most traditional vacuum cleaners but still audible during operation. You can schedule cleaning times through the app for when you're out or adjust suction levels to reduce noise. Lower suction settings are significantly quieter whilst still providing effective cleaning for daily maintenance.

What maintenance is required and how often should filters be replaced?

Regular maintenance includes emptying the water tank after mopping, cleaning the main brush weekly and washing the HEPA filter monthly. The filter is washable and reusable, typically lasting 3-6 months before replacement. Side brushes should be checked monthly for hair tangles. The self-emptying station reduces daily maintenance significantly, requiring attention only every 60 days.
