Keeping floors spotless without a whole lot of hassle is every homeowner’s dream. But the reality?

Messes appear faster than they disappear, and many so-called “smart” cleaners can be frustratingly high-maintenance. You’re left dealing with tangled hair, constant water refills, and machines that still need hands-on attention.

Hardly the futuristic convenience that was promised, is it?

Enter the 3i S10 Ultra — a device designed to remove the frustration of cleaning and give you back control. 3i, a brand known for imagination, innovation, and intelligence, has created the S10 Ultra with features that address these common cleaning struggles head-on.

This feature breaks down what makes the S10 Ultra stand out, covering how its unique technology tackles pain points like endless maintenance and dirty water refills.

If you’re ready for a cleaning device that finally works for you, read how the S10 Ultra can bring you closer to stress-free, high-tech living.

The world’s first WaterRecycle system

Imagine a cleaning robot that mops your floors and purifies and reuses its own water. it’s really a game-changer! The 3i S10 Ultra impresses with its innovative “WaterRecycle” system. Its standout feature is the sub-boiling distillation technology, which effectively separates wastewater during the cleaning process. Solid dirt is collected in a dust bag, leaving floors sparkling clean without the hassle of manual water replacement or drainage issues.

The 3i S10 Ultra is equipped with an advanced Air Moisture Extraction system, a revolutionary feature that replenishes clean water by condensing moisture from the air directly into its water tank.  It ensures an endless supply of clean water without manual replacement and eliminates the need for drainage.

While the 3i S10 Ultra is designed to handle everyday use effortlessly—no water changing or draining required—certain rare scenarios, like extended periods of non-use or improper storage such as leaving the water tank unsealed might require simple maintenance, such as rinsing the clean water tank, changing the distilled water in the reservoir every month

Its flexible placement allows it to be used in any room, from the kitchen to the living room, effortlessly tackling dirt and debris. After each cleaning session, floors appear polished, bringing a renewed sense of freshness to the home. The continuous supply of clean water combined with efficient cleaning offers an unprecedented level of convenience and comfort.

DirtScan cleaning strategy

This vacuum has a brain. Using a camera and advanced AI, it recognizes and reacts to over 68 different kinds of debris, from solid particles to liquid spills. It’s like having a cleaner that “gets it,” turning up the suction for solids or slowing down to handle liquid messes.

Each cleaning session feels intuitive and responsive, making it easy to trust this vacuum to handle whatever mess kids might create. It’s like having a smart companion that not only cleans but also understands the unique challenges of any household. This cleaning strategy’s ability to adapt to different messes has transformed the cleaning routine, making it more effective and stress-free.

For liquid stains, it activates a careful, thorough mopping sequence: slowing down, reducing brush speed, and increasing water flow while moving back and forth across the spot up to five times. Once that’s done, it even crisscrosses over the area again to ensure a flawless finish. This adaptable cleaning approach takes the guesswork — and the stress — out of keeping the floors spotless.

UltraReach roller mop

Thanks to its smart design with 12 spray points and a roller mop that extends to reach right to the edges.  However, what truly stands out is its self-cleaning feature. While it effectively tackles messes on the floor, it simultaneously cleans itself, eliminating concerns about spreading grime from previous cleaning sessions. Dirty water is visibly lifted away, leaving floors spotless with no lingering residue. When cleaning along walls, the roller mop automatically extends, enabling precise cleaning down to the millimeter. Corner and edge cleaning coverage is improved by 95%, ensuring no spot is left untouched.

This roller mop not only improves cleaning efficiency but also greatly reduces the physical effort required.

3i S10 Ultra:  Cleans Smarter, Not Harder

With the app, you can create detailed 3D maps of your home and customize cleaning modes to fit your specific needs. It provides real-time reports on cleaning paths and overall floor cleanliness, giving you a sense of control and insight. The AI voice integration with Alexa and Google Assistant allows you to command the robot hands-free. Plus, the Intelligent Personalized Cleaning feature prioritizes the dirtiest areas, tackling the kitchen and bathroom last to prevent cross-contamination. With options for scheduled cleaning, targeted areas, and no-go zones, this robot truly caters to your lifestyle. The 3i S10 Ultra isn’t just a cleaning tool; it’s like having a smart, reliable assistant that keeps your home spotless while you focus on other things.

Enhancing security, anonymity, and performance with residential proxies

With the rise of e-commerce and digital marketing, companies are seeing the rise of malicious actors who both track their employees’ internet usage and create data breaches in their systems, gaining unauthorized access to proprietary files and data. A report from the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) uncovered more than 3,000 data breaches reported in 2023 alone, and the number of data breaches has been rising annually; in 2024, corporate cyberattacks were up 50% compared to the previous year. This presents multiple risks to businesses and their employees, including identity theft, disrupted operations, exposure of confidential data and plans, and financial losses. According to ITRC, the average cost of a data breach is $4.45 million, up from $3.86 million in 2021, though some experts hope the cost may begin to fall. 

To secure browsing, protect online identities, and gather competitive intelligence, companies need sophisticated and reliable tools. That is what has made Residential Proxies popular recently. Unlike data center proxies that rely on company servers, residential proxies are anonymous IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISP) not to the server but to individual devices. This makes residential proxies difficult to detect and block, allowing users to browse the web seamlessly and anonymously and access geo-restricted content for competitive research.
Proactively Selecting a Proxy
However, proxy servers are a preventative measure, not a cleanup measure after a data breach has already occurred. Companies that want to add that layer to their security infrastructure need to act ahead of time.
