FAQ
Measure vertically from the floor to the highest part of the threshold on both sides of the doorway, since the approach height can differ. Record the threshold’s depth in the direction of travel and the clear doorway width. For a stepped transition, measure each rise and the horizontal spacing between them. Note sharp edges, rounded trim, tracks and nearby rugs. Millimetres make small differences easier to compare: 10 mm equals 1 cm, and 25.4 mm equals 1 inch.
There is no single limit that applies to every robot vacuum. For example, the APEXGEAR model listed with a 1.5 cm climbing claim corresponds to 15 mm, while the Dreame L50 Ultra listing advertises climbing up to approximately 60 mm. These figures should not be treated as equivalent tests or guarantees for your doorway. Check the exact model’s manual and claim footnotes for threshold shape, step spacing, approach conditions and cleaning mode before choosing.
A single-step claim describes one rise. A double-layer claim may describe two smaller rises separated by enough space for the robot to reposition its wheels. A combined height does not mean the robot can climb a single vertical edge of the same height. Compare each rise and the spacing in your doorway with the manufacturer’s test conditions, rather than relying only on the largest advertised number.
They serve different purposes. Obstacle avoidance helps a robot detect or steer around objects, while mop lifting raises the mop above the floor. Neither feature alone confirms threshold-climbing ability. Look for a separate crossing specification or a chassis-lifting or climbing system. Even then, wheel grip, the threshold’s shape and the attached mop can affect the result.
A ramp may help when a raised edge interrupts cleaning, provided the robot manufacturer permits that setup. Choose a ramp that fits the measured rise without leaving another abrupt lip, offers a gradual approach and supports the robot’s full wheel path. Check available floor space, door clearance and floor-material compatibility. A replacement charging-dock ramp is not the same as a doorway threshold ramp.
Follow the ramp’s installation instructions and secure it so it cannot slide. Keep the doorway usable and avoid creating a trip hazard. Supervise the robot as it approaches and crosses from both directions in the cleaning modes you plan to use, then confirm it can return to its dock. If it repeatedly slips, scrapes or gets stuck, stop and reassess the fit rather than forcing it over.
Height is only part of the challenge. A sharp edge, narrow track, loose rug, slippery surface or limited approach space can make a threshold harder to cross. Check and clean the wheels and sensors as directed in the manual, clear loose items and review any supported threshold settings in the app. If crossing remains unreliable, use a permitted ramp, a no-go zone where supported or clean the rooms separately.
Threshold-climbing features do not establish stair-cleaning capability. Unless the manufacturer explicitly states otherwise, treat the robot as a single-level cleaner and carry it between floors according to its instructions. Never disable cliff sensors or use a threshold ramp to bridge stairs or an open drop.
