for this model (i8+), it uses camera & VSLAM (uses the camera to determine where it is, to construct a 3D map), not random bouncing
but because it doesn't have lidar, it will "SLAM" against your furniture to determine where it can go (it's more like a touch/bounce, not a hard slam). usually your furniture will be okay
if you don't want marks at all on your furniture, look for lidar robots (those sometimes do touch/bounce against your furniture, but not as badly as a VSLAM robot)
vslam camera vs lidar (there are some robot vacuums that use both lidar + camera for object avoidance)

The BBB J7+ deal is better if you don't care much about Costco return policy

It does get stuck on things like nerf gun bullets, store receipts, etc. it also has a hard time with carpeted areas, and rugs. If you have large carpeted areas, then this is not for you…
I have replaced the rollers once with a generic brand one from Amazon.
Overall good vacuum.
