The smart home brand 3i is using IFA 2025 in Berlin to present its innovative cleaning robots to an international audience for the first time. Under the motto “First to the Future”, the company is showcasing new models that impress with their compact dimensions, powerful cleaning performance and sophisticated design. The focus will be on the Q10 Ultra and the A10, which will be available from 2026.
- Q10 Ultra: 20,000 Pa suction power, ultra-compact design and UltraReach™ mop
- A10: Affordable model with 10,000 Pa, laser navigation and combined cleaning functions
- Matter protocol support for smart home integration with the Q10 Ultra
- Presentation of the entire 3i portfolio, including the S10 Ultra with WaterRecycle™ technology
Compact performance: the Q10 Ultra sets new standards
At just 7.89 cm high and 29.8 cm in diameter, the Q10 Ultra is smaller than a record – making it one of the most compact robotic vacuum cleaners in its class. Thanks to these dimensions, it can get under sofas, beds or other hard-to-reach pieces of furniture without compromising on performance. With a suction power of 20,000 Pa, it significantly exceeds the cleaning power of comparable models, especially on carpets.
For wet cleaning, he relies on the UltraReach™ mop, which can be extended up to 3.1 cm and thus ensures cleanliness even in peripheral areas. A side brush supports thorough cleaning in corners. Even obstacles are no problem: With AirLift™ technology, the Q10 Ultra overcomes thresholds of up to 3.5 cm.
The appliance uses DualRay™ technology with two lasers for navigation. This not only detects the smallest objects, but also enables precise avoidance of obstacles. With an operating volume of just 50 dB, the robot cleans pleasantly quietly. The base station largely takes care of maintenance, including automatic mop washing and drying as well as dust collection. The Q10 Ultra is the first 3i model to support the Matter protocol, which enables deep integration into the smart home.
The A10: smart cleaning at an entry-level price
In addition to the Q10 Ultra, 3i is also presenting the A10, which is aimed at price-conscious buyers. With a planned launch price of less than 150 US dollars, it is intended to make smart cleaning functions accessible to a wider audience. Despite its low price, it offers a solid suction power of 10,000 Pa and the option of combining vacuuming and mopping.
As with the premium models, the side brush and mop can be extended for reliable cleaning even around edges. There are also modern features such as laser navigation, multi-level mapping, smart app control and individual no-go zones. Scheduled cleanings can be flexibly adapted, which makes the A10 particularly interesting for smaller homes.
Expansion of the product portfolio
In addition to the two upcoming robots, 3i will also be showcasing its existing line-up:
- 3i S10 Ultra: First WaterRecycle robot with fully automatic water change and real-time self-cleaning.
- 3i P10 Ultra: 18,000 Pa deep cleaning robot with UltraReach™ mop and 60 °C hot water self-cleaning.
- 3i G10+: First robot with dirt compression on board and up to 60 days without emptying.
All models combine powerful technologies with a minimalist design that has already received consistently positive feedback at IFA.
Conclusion
With its debut at IFA 2025, 3i is positioning itself as an ambitious newcomer in the field of smart cleaning appliances. The Q10 Ultra and A10 models impressively demonstrate that high performance and sophisticated design are also possible in a compact format.
While the Q10 Ultra offers premium features such as 20,000 Pa suction power, DualRay navigation and Matter support, the A10 is aimed at entry-level users with a strong price-performance ratio. Both models will be launched in the first quarter of 2026 and already show that 3i is bringing a breath of fresh air to the smart home industry with its innovations.
