# Ultra-Compact Robotic Vacuum Cleaners 3i is Debuting a Series of Models at the IFA 2025 Trade Show By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-09-04 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-robotic-vacuum-cleaners References: [prnewswire](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/3i-debuts-at-ifa-with-impressive-ultra-compact-robot-vacuums-and-world-first-designs-302535711.html)  The smart home brand 3i, an offshoot of the established manufacturer PICEA, is introducing its product lineup at IFA 2025, with a focus on two new ultra-compact robotic vacuum cleaners slated for release in early 2026. The Q10 Ultra is the flagship model. It is characterized by its notably small dimensions, which are designed to allow it to clean effectively under low-clearance furniture. Despite its size, it is claimed to possess high suction power, an extendable mopping system for reaching into edges, and a unique wheel mechanism for overcoming household obstacles like thresholds. It also features a comprehensive docking station that automates maintenance tasks. The second and more affordable version of 3i's ultra-compact robotic vacuum cleaners is the A10. This [value-oriented option incorporates laser navigation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roborock-q7-tf), alongside combined vacuuming and mopping capabilities.
