If you have pets, kids, or lots of furniture and cords, obstacle avoidance is a lifesaver; but in a small open-plan apartment with few floor objects, a bump-and-run robot might suffice.Which robot vacuums have obstacle avoidance?

Models like the Roborock S8 Pro Ultra, iRobot Roomba j7+, Dreame Bot L10s Ultra, Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni, and Samsung Jet Bot AI+ have it, while cheaper models like the iRobot Roomba 675 and Eufy RoboVac 11S do not.
