w00t had a sale on the iRobot Roomba 960 (refurbed). It was about half-price.
The 960 gets good reviews and is one of the best in carpet cleaning and reliability. It has a 75 minute battery life, and when battery runs low, it goes back to the base station, recharges, and finishes the job.
Only $240, so I pulled the trigger.

Yes. However, I had problems with the WiFi and it wouldn't connect to the phone. After an hour on the phone with tech support (restarting networks, etc), they finally assumed it was a bad WiFi board and sent me a replacement.
It does a really good job. We've had a cleaning service come every other week for years (just clean living areas and the master main bedroom). I've been shocked at the amount of dirt it's pulling out of the carpets. Every time I run it, the bin is full, and I've run it about 8 times now.
I like the fact that it docks itself to recharge when the battery's low. It does get snagged on fringe on carpets, so it demands some attention. Also, it's gotten stuck under the sofa...

We bought a Shark IQ Robot last week. It has a self-emptying feature, which is quite convenient.

I have a Guatemalan woman that comes over and vacuums. Let’s herself in and out. Never asked her about her batteries.

I think they usually just bounce back and forth in a tight corner.
