Go for something with the motor in a box at the side (if you possibly can). The motors embedded inside the roller are prone to overheating if used too often, somewhat unreliable, and a _fearsome_ price to replace.
I believe there is a european manufacturer 'Somphy' or similar sold in the various sheds in France and Belgium. Try Leroy Merlin in France

Here is a Merlin at =A3170, I looked at on ebay, listing number
220058586062, Im not sure what they retail for in the real world. This one would do the job, would be reasuring to hear from someone who has had one running for a couple of years though.HomeOwnersHub website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
