All robot vacuums. Every measure below is plotted against the full class, so a difference can be read against how much the class itself varies.

01 Classification
What each one does on its own.
The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.
V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

Assisted
Runs preset routines, needs rescue
I
Manual
One action, on command
02 Assessment
Where they actually differ.
The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class
How far apart is a long way?
A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

04 Ownership
What the numbers leave out.
The trade-off
What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.
Dreame L10 Pro
The L10 Pro adds 3D obstacle avoidance the D9 does not have, and rated suction rises from 3,000 Pa to 4,000 Pa. Mopping hardware is unchanged: the same flat pad, no lift, no dock washing.
The premium over the D9 buys obstacle avoidance and a third more rated suction. It buys nothing on the mop side; the pad, the 270 ml tank and the manual rinse are identical.
Proscenic M8 Pro
The dock handles dust and nothing else: it empties the bin into a 4.3 L bag rated for up to 90 days, while the 300 ml mop tank is filled by hand and the pad is washed by hand after every run.
Who each one is wrong for
Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.
Dreame L10 Pro
- High-pile carpet or homes with extensive area rugs
- There is no mop lift, so the pad and tank have to be taken off before a run that crosses rugs. Owner reports document reduced pickup on shag and deep pile.
- Multi-story homes requiring cross-floor consistency
- Moving between floors means carrying the robot and relocating the dock by hand on this generation, as with the D9. The added obstacle sensor changes nothing about that.
- Owners prioritizing autonomous mopping over vacuuming
- The pad wets the floor as the robot vacuums, but everything around it is manual: fill the 270 ml tank, fit the pad, rinse it afterward. There is no mop lift, no dock washing and no pad drying.
Proscenic M8 Pro
- Large homes expecting a full mop pass in one run
- The 300 ml water tank is filled by hand and the dock does not refill it, so mopping a large single level means stopping to top it up. Vacuuming is unaffected: the bin empties itself to the dock at the end of each run.
- High-pile carpet or shag environments
- LiDAR mapping is unaffected by surface, but pickup drops on deep pile, particularly along edges. The mop plate does not lift, so it has to be unclipped before a run that crosses carpet.
- Owners seeking zero mopping friction or app integration depth
- Mop attachment requires manual water tank refill, pad removal for hand-washing, and dock return scheduling. App does not gate mop-only modes or track mopping history per room.
What stays your job
The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.
Dreame L10 Pro
- Weekly: Side brush cleaning and sensor wipe-down to maintain dual-laser accuracy.
- Every 3-6 months: Dust bag replacement (~$15 per bag); filter wash and replacement (~$22).
- Every 3-4 months: Mop pad replacement or deep wash (~$18 per set).
- Every 6-12 months: Dual-laser sensor cleaning and calibration check via app.
- Annually: Dock connector inspection; power cord integrity check.
Proscenic M8 Pro
- Weekly: Rinse mopping pads by hand and air-dry to prevent mold.
- Monthly: Wipe dock connector pins and main brush roller; check for fiber tangles.
- Every 3 months: Replace hepa filter cartridge (~$15); replace the 4.3 L dock bag, which Proscenic rates for up to 90 days (genuine three-packs around 20 euro).
- As needed: Fill the 300 ml mopping tank by hand before each scheduled mopping session; the dock does not refill it.
05 Evidence
How much each of these is standing on.
Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
