As spring cleaning season approaches, 3i, a pioneering smart home brand, is making deep cleaning easier than ever with the launch of the 3i P10 Ultra, an 18,000 Pa deep-cleaning robot vacuum with UltraReach™ Mop. Featuring exceptional suction, an extendable mop for edge cleaning, and an all-in-one station for self-maintenance, the P10 Ultra ensures a thoroughly clean home with minimal manual intervention addition to mopping, the P10 Ultra offers industry-leading 18,000 Pa vacuuming power, boasting over twice the suction of many competitors. It effectively picks up dust and large debris from deep within crevices and carpet fibers, making it ideal for tackling hidden dirt during spring cleaning. The anti-tangle brushes prevent hair from wrapping, while the TangleCut™ feature automatically cuts tangled hair when the robot returns to its station.
For special carpet care, the P10 Ultra utilizes ultrasonic carpet detection to automatically boost suction and lift the mops 0.4 inches (10.5 mm), ensuring carpets remain dry and clean. Users can customize carpet cleaning preferences, such as prioritizing carpets, double-cleaning them, or avoiding long-pile rugs, all without manually adjusting the robot.
Another key highlight is the all-in-one station for self-maintaining, which eliminates much need for manual cleaning. The station automatically washes mops with 140℉/60℃ hot water and dries them with heated air, dispenses detergent and refills the robot’s water tank with clean water, and collects dust and debris into a spacious bag, requiring disposal only every 70 days. Each time the robot returns to the station, it receives a complete cleaning, ready for the next use.
