If you’ve ever thought that robotic vacuum cleaners are getting bigger and more cumbersome—especially when it comes to changing mopping water—there’s a new contender promising a smarter, sleeker approach.

Sydney-based distributor Tempo has secured the rights to bring the innovative 3i range to Australia and New Zealand, with an exclusive Amazon launch planned for early 2026, followed by retail availability.

Developed by global robotics leader PICEA Corporation who made their first appearance at IFA this year, their 3i combines intelligence, innovation, and imagination to deliver next-level cleaning solutions in compact but still powerful form factors.

The lineup features industry-leading suction, smart AI navigation, and advanced mop technologies designed to redefine home cleaning standards.

“3i is redefining robotic floorcare with world-first technologies that make cleaning more effective, more sustainable, and more convenient than ever,” said Matt Pearce of Tempo (Aust) Pty Ltd. “We are thrilled to bring this outstanding range of robotic vacuum cleaners to the Australian market in 2026.”

Tempo will debut two ultra-compact models—the S10 Ultra and the P10 with executives showing ChannelNews 3i’s “world-first” designs at IFA 2025.

The product line emphasizes space-saving hardware, high suction power, and minimal maintenance, perfectly captured by the theme: “First to the Future.”

 

A look at their range at IFA adds a new prospective to compact but high power vacuum cleaning

For example the Q10 Ultra delivers a small size, and performance

Standing just 7.9 cm tall and measuring 29.8 cm in diameter, the Q10 Ultra is remarkably compact for a flagship robot vacuum. Its slim profile allows it to reach under low sofas and shallow bed frames where many competitors cannot, while also making storage easier.

Despite its size, the Q10 Ultra boasts 20,000 Pa of suction—the highest in 3i’s lineup—with claims of more than double the carpet dust removal of comparable products. Edge and corner cleaning, a common challenge for robot mops, is addressed through the UltraReach extendable mop (up to 3.1 cm/1.2 inches) and an extendable side brush for deeper corner coverage.

Obstacle handling is another highlight. The Q10 Ultra can climb thresholds up to 3.5 cm (1.4 inches) thanks to its universal wheel and AirLift technology. Its proprietary DualRay navigation system excels at spotting small objects like cables, pet toys, and stray socks, ensuring thorough, hands-off cleaning.

With compact design, powerful suction, and smart features, 3i aims to prove that smaller doesn’t mean weaker—and Australian consumers will get the first look next year.
