I have watched it clean 4 times today and each time it will go past the edge of the top step then back up across the entire width of the staircase. But the fact of the the potential risk I decided to simply put a no go zone instead so I never have to worry about it.
The only problem I am having is that it does work so well when use the Room function and it will run less than 10 minutes then it goes back to the charging dock with 58% battery left. This room is not that big but it definitely didn't go over every spot. I will try it again tomorrow with a full charge and see if it make a difference.

"Please note:
1.There is no sensor at the end of the device. In order to prevent falling, the device cannot drive backwards. Please use the remote control or APP to turn it to the left or right."
Some reviews also comment on it. Basically it sounds like it has drop sensors, but it cannot drive backwards. So if it gets too close to the edge, it can only try to turn, but that's a risky maneuver and could potentially tip over while making this turn. Being able to just backup would be the safe option but it can't.
But the no-go zone is a nice backup to have.
As for it running through the room in 10 mins, you can check the map after it's done to see exactly where it went. It will show it's exact track through the room. There is also an option to have it go over twice. I haven't tried it but supposedly it will go over the entire room twice instead of just once for better vacuuming.
I'm using it on the lowest suction and it cleans well. The average clean time is about 1 hour while my Yeedi runs till the battery drops low. When it's done I run it again since there's plenty of battery life is left. I empty the dust bin after each use and wash it with water then take it outside to dry. My concern of washing is the battery contact on the bottom of the bin and the wire that goes to the side of the bin that connects the unit with water over time. I tried the suction to medium and high just to test it out but I don't think I will need it and it's a bit noisy while working at home. It's good to have it and perhaps I can use the higher suction and run it when I am not at home. You can't go wrong at this price.
The only thing I wish I had look more into units with mopping capability but that will run about $75-100 more.
Got it a week ago when it was $100 after the coupon, actually really like it, the mapping/navigation works, but I can get stuck in tight corner, so I would only use it when someone is around. I see it more as a toy that can do some light cleaning, so not bad for the price.
2nd issue is the map detection, sometimes when I have it rerun it won't detect its on the same map and will start creating a new one, not a big deal except if you were depending on no go zones to keep it from falling down stairs it could potentially suicide.
honestly, i cant believe this thing only cost a $100. Easily worth $200 compared to everything else on the market. Maybe because of the staircase flaw?
