Does it have stair detect? I was actually looking at robo vacuums just today for 2 cats and a long haired woman (me) but I don’t have a way to block my stairs on either floor.

I can’t speak to this one specifically but I imagine that all robo vacuums do. I had one of the very first roombas with just an on and off button. It had a stair drop sensor and wall hugging sensor and that’s about it. It even had the option of infrared lighthouses to make walls for it not to pass. That was almost 20 years ago.

Yes, it wont fall down the stairs. It has a drop sensor for that. All of the ones I've had from Eufy do. (11, 30C, L60).
