Now that's crazy...
Wached video after video & read article after article. When the dust (and cat hair) settled, I went with a Neato Botvac Connected D4.
Creates a floorplan via laser which you can edit in an app by creating "no go" areas.
Uses systematic non-drunken-baby navigation.
Returns, recharges, and picks up where it left off.
Has largest dirt bin (2.5 cups).
Has highest volume suction (20cfm).
Came in at $423 (w/BB&B coupon).
Got it home, charged it, and set it up without issue. Picked up a couple pairs of shoes, tucked away a couple of lamp cords, shut 3 doors, and turned it loose.
It completed the dining room, den, foyer, and hallway before heading back to it's docking station.
I popped the bin out and was surprised to see it was packed full off cat hair. According to the app, it still had 56% charge left on the battery.
I'm going to run it again in an hour and see if it's any faster now that it has a floorplan.
Many thanks again for sharing your thoughts and experiences.
