Proscenic P20: Full Review 2026
The Proscenic P20 OnePass is the ultimate flagship of the Proscenic range: with 70 kPa of suction and a 680 W motor, it positions itself as a direct rival to the Dyson V15 Detect — at roughly 40% less cost. Featuring a green laser, automatic dust detection and a built-in mopping function, the P20 makes zero compromises on performance or versatility.
Design and Ergonomics
At just 1.8 kg for the main unit, the Proscenic P20 OnePass remains remarkably manoeuvrable despite its record-breaking power. The articulated flexible tube allows effortless reach under low furniture — sofas, beds, TV units — without bending down or moving anything out of the way. The self-standing design lets the vacuum stay upright on its own, eliminating the need to lean it against walls or furniture between cleaning passes. The large colour LED display shows the selected mode, remaining battery level and maintenance alerts in real time. The build quality is unmistakably premium: durable materials, precise assembly and a total weight of 3.6 kg including all accessories that remains impressively restrained for an appliance in this class. The included wall mount provides a sleek storage solution that frees up floor space.
Suction Performance
With 70 kPa of suction power, the P20 OnePass shatters every previous record in the Proscenic lineup and goes head-to-head with the top-tier cordless vacuums on the market. Its four modes — Auto, Low, Medium and Strong — allow precise power adjustment for every scenario, while automatic dust detection regulates intensity in real time based on the level of dirt detected. The 1,500 ml XL dust cup — the largest in the entire range — dramatically reduces emptying frequency, even during intensive cleaning sessions. The built-in mopping function with a 230 ml water tank transforms the P20 into a genuine 2-in-1 device capable of vacuuming and mopping hard floors in a single pass. From thick carpets to delicate hardwood, the V5 anti-tangle motorised brush tackles every surface without hair wrapping around the roller.
Battery and Runtime
The P20 OnePass delivers up to 70 minutes of runtime in Low mode — enough to cover approximately 240 m² on a single charge, more than sufficient for a large flat or multi-storey house. The removable battery charges fully in 4.5 hours and can be swapped for a spare to double the runtime during extended cleaning sessions. This modularity is a genuine advantage that few competitors offer at this price point.
Built-in Technology
The green laser integrated into the cleaning head reveals dust particles invisible to the naked eye on hard floors, ensuring thorough cleaning with no missed spots. The fifth-generation V5 anti-tangle brush mechanically prevents hair and pet fur from wrapping around the roller. The automatic dust detection sensor continuously analyses airflow and adjusts suction power in real time — more dirt detected means more power delivered. Despite all this technology, the P20 remains remarkably quiet at just 59 dB, comparable to the sound level of a normal conversation.
Maintenance and Accessories
The 6-stage HEPA filter captures 99.99% of fine particles and simply rinses under running water to restore its full effectiveness. The 1,500 ml dust cup needs emptying far less often than any other model in the range, significantly simplifying day-to-day upkeep. The P20 comes with a complete accessory kit — crevice tool, motorised mini brush, soft dusting brush — and the wall mount enables tidy storage with integrated charging. Proscenic backs the entire unit with a 2-year manufacturer's warranty.
Our Verdict
The Proscenic P20 OnePass is unquestionably the finest cordless vacuum Proscenic has ever built. With 70 kPa of suction, a green laser, mopping capability and 70 minutes of runtime, it ticks every box for the ultimate stick vacuum. Against the Dyson V15 Detect, it delivers comparable — and in some areas superior — performance, particularly in dust cup capacity and the addition of a mopping function, all while remaining considerably more affordable. A worthwhile investment for demanding users who want the best without compromise, and a meaningful step up from the P15.
