3i's theme for IFA 2025, "First to the Future," represents a focus on innovation, cutting-edge technology, and products that can completely revolutionize our day-to-day routines. It's clear that 3i, a smart home brand focused on developing fresh ways to keep your home clean, took this message and ran with it. The brand recently made its first appearance at IFA 2025, debuting a lineup of impressive robot vacuum cleaners that push the existing technology to new heights. While it might seem like 3i is relatively new on the scene, this is far from the truth — the brand was created by PICEA, a major name in the smart vacuum space that holds over 1,600 patents for new technologies. With 3i, PICEA is bringing this tech directly to consumers. The brand's newest product, the Q10 Ultra, especially impressed during demonstrations, earning House Digest's IFA Innovation Award thanks to its skillful cleaning power and clever use of AI.

Whether you're interested in 3i's newest development or the brand's existing products, the S10 Ultra, P10 Ultra, and G10+, the innovations are impressive across the board. AI technology, autonomous navigation, and advanced cleaning capabilities all make for products that allow consumers to enjoy a fresh space without having to lift a finger, letting them spend their time doing what matters most instead of chasing after dirt and debris. With each new development, 3i is ushering in the future of home maintenance.

One of the most common gripes with robot vacuum cleaners is that they're not able to reach every corner, nook, and cranny, leading the user to have to finish up the cleaning process themselves. This isn't a problem for 3i's newest development, the Q10 Ultra. This floor-cleaning robot is built with these common issues in mind, and thanks to its extended side brush and UltraReach™ dual spinning mop heads, corners and edges are no longer a problem. Once you've set your cleaning cycle and allowed the robot to get to work, you can rest assured that those impossible to catch dust bunnies and annoying corner crumbs are soon to be ancient history.

Furniture? Not a problem, either. The Q10 Ultra's low-profile design ensures that fitting under couches, beds, and chairs isn't an issue. Unlike some other, bulkier robot vacuums, this model measures just over 3 inches tall and under 12 inches wide, making it a sleek and compact cleaning machine. Don't let the size fool you, though — 3i managed to fit a ton of power into a tiny package. With impressive 20,000 Pa suction and increased airflow, the Q10 Ultra is able to effortlessly suck up debris, even dust and dirt that's been deeply embedded into rugs and carpets.

When you're using a robot vacuum, the process should be hands-free. Unfortunately, for many, this is more of a fantasy than a reality. Cleaners getting stuck on obstacles can leave users having to chase them around to ensure they're actually doing their job, and with so many interruptions and resets, it can feel easier to just sweep or mop the floors yourself. Luckily, the Q10 Ultra is much more capable than these other products.

One of the most interesting features the Q10 Ultra boasts is its DualRay laser navigation system. Rather than simply working on a pre-set path, these lasers allow the robot to "see" the space. With the help of its AI camera, it can then detect and respond appropriately to over 200 different objects and dirt types, meaning less pausing and more cleaning. It's also well-equipped to handle more permanent obstacles, like door thresholds and thick rugs. Rather than running into the barrier and stopping its cycle, the Q10 Ultra can use its liftable wheel to raise the device up to 1.4 inches above the floor, allowing it to easily navigate from room to room or over your new plush rug. Again — more cleaning, less pausing, and less time spent troubleshooting your robot's issues getting around the space.

While 3i's Q10 Ultra managed to snag House Digest's IFA Innovation Award, the brand's other products were nothing to shrug at either. 3i demonstrated three other robot cleaners at the event: the S10 Ultra, the P10 Ultra, and the G10+. Each of these devices also presents several cutting-edge solutions to common problems with robot vacuums and floor cleaners — after all, 3i's entire mission is innovation.

The S10 Ultra, for example, is the world's first robotic vacuum to self-generate its own clean water. After a cycle, the machine distills the dirty water at 90°C, separating out all of the dirt and debris, and uses the clean water that's left over. It creates more clean water by pulling humidity from the air. Combine this with the S10 Ultra's self-cleaning roller mop, and you have a device that can function almost completely autonomously.

The P10 Ultra and G10+ also have their own unique features. The P10 Ultra is perfect for large families and those with pets — the device includes a blade at the docking station to cut hair, resulting in fewer tangles and clogs. The G10+, on the other hand, is focused more on getting a hands-free experience without a bulky auto-empty station. After each cycle, it auto-compresses debris while cleaning and sterilizes the dustbin with the built-in UV light, making cleanup easier and stopping germs in their tracks. No matter which robot vacuum you choose, the impressive features will make it clear why 3i stands out at IFA 2025.
