I had one of those, and I think the cliff detector was even more basic - a sensor that brushed against the floor and tripped when it no longer was pressed. I remember being disappointed when I learned that it's approach to sweeping was "do it for a long time and eventually you'll get everything." Maybe, but I had higher expectations. Mine also regularly blew through the IR "walls" and got stuck under a dresser, waiting for me to return home with it's familiar "help" beeps.

By noticing one day that the black areas of my striped carpet were inexplicably accumulating more dirt than the rest of it. Took me some time to find out that the robot treated black floor as "hole in the ground" and made an active effort not to drive over it... > Mine also regularly blew through the IR "walls" and got stuck under a dresser, waiting for me to return home with it's familiar "help" beeps. Yup, got those often enough as well...
