3i, a smart home brand founded by industry veteran PICEA, is stepping onto the global stage at IFA 2025 in Berlin. Under the theme “First to the Future,” the company will introduce its latest robotic cleaning lineup, including two new models, the Q10 Ultra and the A10, set to launch in early 2026.
Q10 Ultra: A Small Robot with Big Power
The 3i Q10 Ultra takes the crown as the company’s most compact robot vacuum yet, standing just 7.89 cm (3.1 inches) tall and 29.8 cm (11.7 inches) across. Small enough to slip under sofas, beds, and even highchair legs, it’s designed for homes where dust likes to hide in plain sight. Despite its size, the Q10 Ultra carries a punch with 20,000 Pa suction power, currently the strongest in 3i’s lineup.
Its UltraReach mop extends up to 3.1 cm (1.2 inches), giving it the longest reach in the category, while the side brush tackles corners with ease. Thanks to AirLift technology, the Q10 Ultra can climb thresholds up to 3.5 cm (1.4 inches), keeping cleaning runs uninterrupted. DualRay navigation adds precise obstacle detection, making sure socks, toys, and stray cables are spotted before they become casualties.
Noise levels as low as 50 dB help the robot work quietly in the background, and the multifunctional base station handles mop washing, drying, dust collection, and self-cleaning. The Q10 Ultra will also mark 3i’s first support for the Matter smart home protocol, signaling smoother integration into connected households.
A10: Affordable Cleaning Tech
Joining the showcase is the A10, a slim and wallet-friendly option designed for smaller living spaces. Expected to launch for under $150, the A10 offers 10,000 Pa suction, simultaneous vacuuming and mopping, and a side brush and mop that extend and retract automatically for edge-to-edge cleaning.
Its laser navigation and multi-level mapping bring higher-end features down to an entry-level price point, with app-based controls that include no-go zones and scheduled cleaning. For first-time robot vacuum buyers, the A10 could be an approachable starting point.
Expanding the 3i Lineup
Beyond the new launches, 3i will also display its broader portfolio:
- S10 Ultra – A floor-washing robot vacuum with WaterRecycle technology, automatic water changes, and a self-cleaning roller mop that excels at handling liquid messes.
- P10 Ultra – A deep-cleaning model with 18,000 Pa suction, an extendable UltraReach mop, auto TangleCut, and hot-water self-cleaning at 60°C.
- G10+ – A robot vacuum featuring onboard debris compression and an extendable side brush and mop, allowing for up to 60 days of hands-free cleaning.
3i’s IFA debut highlights the company’s focus on compact designs, strong suction power, and smart integration, catering to both premium and budget buyers. More details about the Q10 Ultra, A10, and other models can be found on 3i’s official website.
