Robot Vacuum Buying Guide — Switzerland CHF

Short answer

Because you have 4 cm door steps, the recommendation changes: the safest practical picks are Roborock Saros 10R around CHF 700–750 or MOVA V50 Ultra Complete around CHF 749. The ECOVACS T90 Pro Omni remains the best value for normal thresholds/hard-floor mopping, but I would not buy it for true 4 cm single-step door thresholds.

Decision rule

4 cm door steps: Roborock Saros 10R first; MOVA V50 Ultra Complete if the step geometry is harsh or multi-level.
Mostly hard floors / mopping priority with normal thresholds: Ecovacs T90 Pro Omni.
Strict budget: MOVA E40 Ultra, but not for 4 cm steps.
Home Assistant priority: Roborock is cleanest officially; MOVA/Dreame work via HACS/community; Ecovacs T90 currently needs workarounds.

Update: your 4 cm door steps

Short answer: most budget and mid-range robots will not reliably handle a true 4 cm vertical door step. For your home, I would narrow the shortlist to the models below.

Model	Threshold claim / evidence	My call for 4 cm door steps	Buy threshold
Roborock Saros 10R	Roborock explicitly claims up to 4 cm threshold crossing via AdaptiLift; Vacuum Wars and other reviews also discuss 4 cm threshold handling. [18][21][5]	Best balanced pick. Should be able to handle 4 cm if the step is within spec; expect to mark/configure thresholds in the app if needed.	Excellent ≤ CHF 750; fair ≤ CHF 850.
MOVA V50 Ultra Complete	Toppreise lists 6 cm obstacle capability; Vacuum Wars describes StepMaster up to 60 mm two-tier and ~38 mm straight rises. [19][22]	Best if thresholds are ugly/multi-stage. If your 4 cm is a sharp single vertical lip, note Vacuum Wars' straight-rise test is ~38 mm, just under 4 cm.	Good ≤ CHF 750; excellent ≤ CHF 650.
MOVA Z70 Ultra Roller Complete	Toppreise lists 4.8 cm obstacle capability. [20]	Potentially capable, but expensive and less proven. I would not choose it over Saros/V50 unless roller mopping is priority #1.	Only compelling ≤ CHF 1'000.
ECOVACS T90 Pro Omni	Specs/reviews indicate about 2.4 cm single-step and up to 4 cm multi-step/combined climbing, not a confident true 4 cm vertical step. [14][4]	No for true 4 cm door steps. Still excellent value if thresholds are ramped/two-stage, but too risky for your stated constraint.	Strong buy ≤ CHF 500 only if thresholds are not the blocker.
MOVA P50 / E40 / E30, Xiaomi X20+, Dreame L40, Roborock Qrevo S	Captured specs are typically ~2–2.2 cm or unspecified; not credible for 4 cm. [9][10][13][15][16]	Avoid for your home unless you add threshold ramps.	Only with ramps / no 4 cm crossing need.

Practical QA note: “4 cm threshold” often means different geometries. Robots handle a beveled/two-stage 4 cm transition much better than a sharp vertical 40 mm lip. If the step is sharp, even Saros 10R/V50 should be bought from a seller with easy returns, or use low-profile threshold ramps.

Update: threshold ramps for 4 cm door steps

Bottom line: the small “robot vacuum ramp strips” sold for CHF 14–20 are usually only 15–16 mm high. They are useful for 1.5–2 cm lips, but they do not solve a real 4 cm door step by themselves. For a 4 cm step, use either a robot that genuinely climbs it, or a proper 4 cm rubber/wheelchair-style threshold ramp cut to door width.

Ramp option	Swiss price / source	Dimensions / slope	Fit for your 4 cm steps
Roboparts robot vacuum threshold strip	Roboparts CH; product page shows 68.6 × 5.1 × 1.6 cm, DHL shipping. [31]	1.6 cm rise over 5.1 cm run ≈ 31% slope / 17.4°.	No, not alone. Fine for small 1.4–2 cm thresholds. Too low and quite steep for a true 4 cm step.
Apfelkiste 4-piece rubber robot ramp	CHF 14.95; free shipping from CHF 15; 30-day return. [32]	Approx. 15 mm high. Product reviews include one “Roborock kommt nicht drüber” failure report.	Cheap experiment only. Buy one if you have a 1.5 cm sub-lip or want to smooth an edge, not as the 4 cm solution.
MyTrendyPhone modular robot ramp	CHF 14.10 but currently not in stock in captured page. [33]	Modular/waved grip design; source does not give verified height.	Skip unless stock/spec improves. Not enough evidence for 4 cm.
Strack / Mobilex Gummirampe	Strack CH lists Mobilex rubber ramps from CHF 6.95; the related 1.5–4 cm EMobil line from CHF 52.75. [34]	Exact 4 × 25 × 90 cm option: 4 cm rise over 25 cm run ≈ 16% slope / 9.1°. Can be cut to width.	Best practical ramp approach. This is the type I would use for a 4 cm threshold if you want a non-electronics solution.
Orthopunkt24 Quick2Go modular rubber ramp	From CHF 99.37. [35]	4.4 cm kit is 44 mm high, 320 mm long, 800 mm wide; modular, cuttable/extendable, indoor/outdoor.	Most robust but pricey. Good if you want a cleaner permanent installation and can accept the size/visual impact.
DJI ROMO Auxiliary Ramp	Futuretrends CH, price on request, ROMO-only compatibility. [36]	Advertises up to 4 cm but physical height is 18 mm; likely works as part of ROMO-specific climbing behavior.	Do not buy for Roborock/MOVA/Ecovacs. Useful evidence that 4 cm ramps need compatibility testing, not a universal solution.
Aluminium wheelchair threshold ramps	Galaxus / The Ramp People example: 4 cm overcome height, but product page captured was the 8 cm variant and out of stock. [39]	4 cm version listed as 54 × 70 cm; low angle, removable.	Works mechanically but bulky. More trip/visual impact than rubber strips; only if you need removable accessibility too.

Installation guidance for a 4 cm step: measure the exact vertical rise and the usable depth on both sides of the doorway. Prefer a ramp depth of at least 25–32 cm for 4 cm rise; that gives roughly 16% to 12.5% slope. Avoid tiny 5–10 cm deep “robot” strips for 4 cm: they create a steep wedge and can make the robot bottom out, scrape, or fail downhill. If the threshold is used from both rooms, you may need a ramp on both sides.

My buy recommendation: if buying Saros 10R or MOVA V50, first test the robot without ramps during the return window. If it fails or scrapes, add a 4 × 25 × 90 cm cuttable rubber ramp from Strack/Mobilex-style suppliers. If you choose a non-climbing robot such as ECOVACS T90, budget for proper 4 cm ramps at every blocked doorway; the cheap 15 mm robot strips are not sufficient.

Update: Home Assistant integration

Home Assistant support is now part of the buying recommendation because it materially changes long-term automation quality.

Brand / model	Integration path	Confidence	Notes
Roborock Saros 10R / Qrevo series	Official Home Assistant `Roborock` integration.	High	HA docs list S, QV, Qrevo and Saros series as fully supported, with local polling plus cloud fallback. Caveat: reports indicate Saros 10R may fall back to cloud because of newer protocol behavior, but it still works through cloud. [23][24]
MOVA E40 / P50 / V50 / Z70	Community HACS: Dreame/MOVA integrations, especially `dreame-ha` or Tasshack Dreame Vacuum beta lineage.	Medium	F1nn-T's Dreame/MOVA fork explicitly lists P50 tested and E40, V50 and Z70 as “should work”; maps require cloud mode. Good enough for enthusiasts, not as clean as official Roborock. [25]
Dreame L40 Ultra	Community HACS: Tasshack `dreame-vacuum`.	Medium-high	L40 Ultra appears in user reports with segment/mode control working after correct setup/reload; not an official HA core integration. [27]
Xiaomi X20+	Official Xiaomi Miio/Xiaomi Home is uncertain for this exact model; community Dreame Vacuum beta added `xiaomi.vacuum.c102gl`.	Medium-low	Can be integrated, but reports show region/cloud/model mismatch pitfalls. I would not choose it if HA reliability is a priority. [26][28]
ECOVACS T90 Pro Omni	Official HA `Ecovacs` integration + possible Matter workaround / custom supplement.	Low-medium today	Official Ecovacs integration exists, but T90 Pro Omni has open 2026 reports where start/segments fail on firmware 1.87.0; workaround is adding Matter for start and keeping Ecovacs for modes. [29][30]

Revised HA-aware recommendation: for your 4 cm thresholds + Home Assistant, buy Roborock Saros 10R first. If threshold geometry beats Saros or you want MOVA's 6 cm claim, buy MOVA V50 Ultra Complete but accept HACS/community integration risk.

Detailed notes, pros and cons

BudgetBest budget buy

MOVA E40 Ultra

CHF 299Buy at ≤ CHF 300; fair to ~330; skip >350

Best low-cost “full dock” package I found in Switzerland: 19 kPa suction, LiDAR+camera, auto-empty, clean/dirty water tanks and hot-air mop drying. More complete than Xiaomi at the same street price. [9]

Pros

Very low CHF 299 entry for an all-in-one station
19 kPa suction and 260 min quoted runtime
Rotating mops with hot-air drying; large 4.5 L / 4.0 L station tanks
Good choice for hard floors and mixed floors if you pre-clear cables

Cons / watch-outs

Obstacle detection is basic; not a “messy kids’ room” robot
No strong independent long-term lab record yet compared with Roborock/Dreame
Mop washing is not hot-water on this cheaper model; expect occasional manual dock cleaning

BudgetCheapest acceptable

MOVA E30 Ultra

CHF 249Buy at ≤ CHF 250 if CHF 50 matters

The lowest Swiss price with a real automated station. Good if budget is strict, but the E40’s specs justify the small uplift. [8]

Pros

Cheapest credible automated dock option found
Swiss-authorized offers at CHF 249
Simple value choice for hard floors

Cons / watch-outs

Sparse specs/reviews vs E40/P50/T90
Less future-proof; fewer confirmed premium features
I would not choose it for heavy pet hair or clutter

BudgetAlternative budget

Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20+

CHF 299Good at ≤ CHF 300; excellent ~270–285

A proven low-price all-in-one. Strong if you want a known Xiaomi ecosystem; weaker for clutter and carpets. [10][7]

Pros

Excellent price/features: self-empty, mop washing/refill station
TechRadar rated it highly for vacuuming, mopping and navigation at low price
Good for tidy homes with mostly hard floors

Cons / watch-outs

Only 6,000 Pa vs newer budget models’ much higher ratings
Small cables/objects need pre-cleaning
Carpet handling/no-mop zones may require manual setup

Mid-rangeOverall buy recommendation

ECOVACS Deebot T90 Pro Omni

CHF 459Strong buy ≤ CHF 500; fair to ~550

The Swiss price collapses a near-flagship mopping robot into midrange money. It has 30 kPa suction, roller mopping, hot-air dock automation and strong independent test praise. My #1 recommendation for most Swiss buyers. [14][1][4]

Pros

Best price/performance in this review at CHF 459
Roller mop system is repeatedly praised for hard-floor cleaning
30 kPa suction; hot-air dock; 4 L/2.2 L tanks
T90 remains stronger than cheaper T80S in threshold/mopping hardware/coverage

Cons / watch-outs

Navigation/setup can be quirky
No pure mop-only mode in several reviews
Ecovacs software polish is not Roborock-level

Mid-rangePet/hair value contender

MOVA P50 Pro Ultra

CHF 429Strong buy ≤ CHF 430; fair to 480

Very strong midrange hardware for the money: 19 kPa, hot-water mop washing, anti-tangle brush, good mopping/edge reach. Best if you want Dreame-like hardware cheaper than Dreame. [13][3]

Pros

CHF 428.60 with 10 Swiss offers
Hot-water mop wash (75°C), hot-air drying, 3.2 L dust bag class
Independent reviews call out strong mopping and anti-tangle hair handling
Good app lineage via Dreame/MOVA ecosystem

Cons / watch-outs

Tall 10.38 cm body may miss low furniture
Some reviewers note dock/manual-cleaning and potential front-wheel durability concerns
P50 is older; compare V50 if on sale

Mid-rangeKnown premium on sale

Dreame L40 Ultra

CHF 544Good ≤ CHF 550; excellent ≤ CHF 500

A proven Dreame model with excellent app/features and AI cleaning. Good if you prefer Dreame’s ecosystem, but current T90/P50 prices beat it on value. [15][6]

Pros

Reviewers praised feature depth, suction and AI customization
Hot-water mop washing, MopExtend edge cleaning, auto detergent in many packages
Good app and multi-map support

Cons / watch-outs

Only 4 Swiss offers at current page capture
Dock baseplate/dirt detection complaints in reviews
At CHF 544 it is less compelling than T90 at CHF 459 unless you prefer Dreame

UpperBest upper-range buy

Roborock Saros 10R

CHF 699.95Excellent ≤ CHF 750; fair to 850

At Swiss CHF 700 it is the premium pick: very slim 7.98 cm body, strong obstacle detection, 4 cm threshold class, 80°C mop wash and Roborock software. Best for mixed homes, low furniture and thresholds. [18][5]

Pros

RTINGS/Vacuum Wars/Notebookcheck place it among top performers
Ultra-low 7.98 cm profile reaches under furniture where LiDAR towers fail
StarSight obstacle detection and AdaptiLift threshold/carpet features
Swiss price is far below original flagship MSRP class

Cons / watch-outs

Battery/coverage not best in class per Notebookcheck
Mopping is good, not the strongest roller-mop solution for dried stains
Some threshold/app routines require tweaking

UpperThreshold specialist

MOVA V50 Ultra Complete

CHF 749Good ≤ CHF 750; excellent ≤ CHF 650

High 24 kPa suction and 6 cm threshold claim make it attractive for tricky transitions; less independently validated than Saros. [19]

Pros

Strong threshold spec (6 cm) and 24 kPa suction
Full automated station and UV/hot-air dock features
Good if your home has high transitions

Cons / watch-outs

11.05 cm height limits under-furniture cleaning
Less mainstream independent evidence
At CHF 749, Saros 10R is safer unless thresholds dominate

UpperMopping enthusiast / wait for sale

MOVA Z70 Ultra Roller Complete

CHF 1'049Buy only ≤ CHF 1'000 for roller mop priority

36 kPa and roller-mop flagship specs, but at CHF 1,049 it needs a specific hard-floor/mopping use case. For most homes, Saros 10R/T90 are better value. [20]

Pros

36 kPa suction and 100°C hot-water dock spec
Roller-mop class should suit hard floors/stains
Large 5.5 L fresh-water tank

Cons / watch-outs

Expensive relative to T90/Saros 10R
Newer/less independently proven in captured sources
Not the rational default unless mopping is priority #1

Models I would avoid at current Swiss prices

Roborock Qrevo S at CHF 549: not bad, just mispriced versus T90/P50/L40.
Roborock Qrevo Curv at ~CHF 680: only makes sense if Saros 10R is unavailable or much more expensive.
MOVA Z70 at CHF 1,049: impressive specs, but overkill unless roller mopping is your top requirement.

Method and caveats

Toppreise prices are volatile and include price-comparison listings, not a direct guarantee of stock or seller quality. I treated Swiss-authorized dealers and multiple-offer listings as lower-risk.
Pa/kPa suction specs are not directly comparable across brands; independent cleaning results and navigation reliability matter more.
Robot vacuums are maintenance cleaners, not replacements for a full-size vacuum on stairs, thick carpets, sofa crevices or deep-cleaning jobs.
Homes with cables, socks, toys, pet accidents or floor-length curtains should prioritize obstacle avoidance over headline suction.
