3i Debuts New Robot Vacuums at IFA 2025: 3i Q10 Ultra & A10

3i, a smart home brand founded by robotic company PICEA, is making its first appearance at IFA 2025 under the theme “First to the Future.” The company is unveiling two new robot vacuums: 3i Q10 Ultra and A10. Both are set to launch in early 2026, along with its current lineup of advanced cleaning robots.

3i Q10 Ultra Robot Vacuum: Dimensions, Specs, and Features

The Q10 Ultra is one of the smallest premium robot vacuums on the market, measuring just 7.89 cm (3.1 inches) tall and 29.8 cm (11.7 inches) in diameter—shorter than a baseball and smaller than a vinyl record. Despite its compact frame, it delivers 20,000 Pa suction power, the strongest in 3i’s lineup.

Key Features of the Q10 Ultra

  • UltraReach™ mop extending up to 3.1 cm (1.2 inches) for deeper edge cleaning
  • AirLift™ wheels capable of climbing thresholds up to 3.5 cm (1.4 inches)
  • DualRay™ obstacle avoidance for detecting small objects
  • Quiet operation at 50 dB
  • Multifunctional base station with automatic mop washing/drying, dust collection, and self-cleaning
  • First 3i model to support the Matter smart home protocol

3i A10 Robot Vacuum: Affordable Price and Smart Cleaning Functions

The A10 is designed for smaller homes and budget-conscious buyers, with a launch price of under $150. While 3i describes it as its “slimmest model yet,” the company has not disclosed its exact dimensions.

  • 10,000 Pa suction
  • Simultaneous vacuuming and mopping
  • Side brush and mop that extend automatically for better corner and edge cleaning

Showcasing Current Innovations

Alongside the Q10 Ultra and A10, 3i is highlighting its existing innovations, which debuted at CES 2025:

  • S10 Ultra — 3i’s flagship model with the world’s first WaterRecycle™ floor-washing robot with automatic water change and real-time mop self-cleaning.
  • P10 Ultra — 18,000 Pa suction, extendable mop, auto TangleCut™, and 60℃ hot-water self-cleaning.
  • G10+ — World’s first robot vacuum with onboard debris compression and extendable mop/brush, lasting up to 60 days without emptying.

Where to See 3i at IFA

  • IFA Booth: H9-134, Messe Berlin (Sept 5–9, 2025)
  • ShowStoppers: Sept 4, 6–9 PM, Messe Berlin South Entrance
  • Exhibitor Profile

With its blend of compact form factors, powerful suction, and industry-first designs, 3i is positioning itself as a serious competitor in the robotic cleaning market.
