Proscenic have become a particularly popular household brand- and it's for all the (affordable) right reasons. The vacuum brand has also delivered some incredible home items in the form of air fryers, baby monitors, robot vacuums and more- and they all have one common factor- they do not massively break the bank.
Rival brands including Dyson, Shark and Ninja tend to be at a much higher price point, which to us seems ludicrous when very similar features are considered in most of their products.
I had to investigate. Here I look at the similarities between what the Proscenic P12 and the Dyson V12 have to offer.
Considering the Dyson V12 is a staggering £529.99, I thought it must have an untouchable feature list in comparison to other brands- and it seems I was quite mistaken. The cordless vacuum market is full of different variations of vacuums suitable for a range of owners- pet friendly, detangling, lightweight, high suction power.... the list goes on. But, what I really needed to find was what makes the Proscenic P12 a worthy investment and will it do the trick for keeping my house clean whilst in quite a mucky house move?
When opening the package, I quickly learned that it wasn't short of great features including 33 kPa strong suction, upgraded green detection headlights and an anti-tangle roller brush- The Dyson V12 also promises a 60 minute suction power which you could say is a huge selling point- but so does the Proscenic P12, while both also have a detangling brush head which really helps when coming to clearing it and emptying the brush between clean ups.
'We tried Hello Fresh and Gousto - they're tasty but we instantly regretted it'
My partner will tell you, even on a day to day basis I malt like a Labrador, so to have a detangling brush is really handy for me giving the house a quick go over (my hair still fills the 1.2L dustbin in one go).
Also, with recently just moving into quite a larger property, I have noticed how easy this vacuum has been to navigate the dirt and grime build ups from constant sanding walls, wallpaper peeling and general mess from the kids- it's made cleaning up most evenings feel a doddle, while this could also be said for it's much more expensive rival.
The greenlight really does make dust much more visible (Amazon)The greenlight tool is massively welcomed in our home, with new, dark navy carpets throughout- it's great I can reach awkward spots of the house and find muck in the most unlikely places.
Both vacuums also feature a crevice tool which has been a godsend to me- the Proscenic vacuum has not only been an incredible essential while moving home, it has been such a good everyday, lightweight vacuum which you also feel offers these premium features at a bargain price.
Other alternatives for different budgets are out there too- and we have pretty much reviewed most top brands. From Shark's Pet Vacuum saviours, Karcher's trusted cleaner and our tech team swear by an incredible robot vacuum from Roborock- it really does just depend on what you need your cleaner mostly for.
Verdict
Since I have been deep cleaning my house using the Proscenic P12, I can quite confidently say I would recommend this over any cordless vacuum on the market. Mainly for it's incredibly affordable price point because the Dyson just has a stronger suction power so apart from than that, you are getting very similar features to the much pricier Dyson viral.
I have had a similar AEG cordless, a robot vacuum and a trustee Henry Hoover previous to this- and it ticks more boxes for me for it's incredible lightweight manoeuvring above all. It's certainly made cleaning my home a lot easier on my back!
