Are these any better after a decade? My parents had one in 2005 and they seemed super gimmicky. I read reviews on another one (can't remember the name right now) that actually uses LiDAR instead of spiraling and bumping into everything and that seemed like a much better bet.

Are the boundary things for the neato required? Is it going to fall down a stairwell or crash into my sunken living room if I don't demarc it?
