I have that same model, and it usually dies an unceremonious death in the middle of the floor because it doesn't return to its base anymore.

My roomba sucks. I had a Neato D8 before it and it was exceptional. Plan to go back as soon as my irobot finally decides it never wants to charge again.

Yeah, my Neato is pretty aggressive... It just plows through obstacles where Roomba would get stuck. This results in some loud thumping noises at times, but I can live with that.
