I've had to deal with permiter wire breaking every so often, which is a pain. That's what happens when neighbors do edging beyond their yard, so keep that in mind. Or sometimes (early on) the mower would catch up the wire itself, but of course it was easy to find the break when it was stopped right on top of it.
I still have to rescue it once or twice a week, when it's running almost daily in the summertime in Florida. Usually it's due to the blade getting stuck on a branch or something, or the mower getting stuck in the ground, or it thinks it got lifted up due to hitting some bump. But I'm happy to walk out and press start a couple times a week, compared to spending a couple hours a week actually mowing myself.
Still, the perimiter wire is pretty frustrating to fix when you can't find the spot it broke. I resort to dragging out an extension cord and testing at various points, with one half or the other of the circuit unplugged from the station and the extension cord jerry-rigged plugged into the other end, so I can use a rough binary search to narrow down the section within a few attempts.
If my current mower dies, I'll probably spend the extra money to get one that doesn't require a boundary wire. Not only would it save that hassle, but the wireless ones can also mow in a strategic pattern, which would allow for spot mowing and would likely finish the yard much faster. This worx uses a random algorithm, which statistically works over time, but still can leave random spots that have to get mowed over by chance on a future run.
Granted, I spent about $1000 on this exact machine, and it was a great deal at the time, so I'm definitely happy at that price point for what I got. But I think I'd spend $2k-3k if the right product shows up, and if mine happens to die sometime soon.
For just under $500, this is an awesome deal!
Setting up wires is easy but maintaining it sucks. They break if you accidentally knick it or pull the wire…or maybe it's the hot AZ sun it just goes bad. So I say I spend about once a month or every other month trying to troubleshoot.
My backyard though has been pretty good where I have another perimeter set. Again though I probably fixed that one over the Summer.
Some people have better experiences. Maintenance for the actual machine is easy and they have generic brands for it including more batteries.
For Bermuda grass you want to mow low and often. So my lawn looked better than ever. There is a 3d printer part to lower the blade even more.
Would I pay full price for this? No. Do I look crazy trying to trouble hoot this? Yes. It gets lots of looks and it's not rare here. However I'd buy again if I didn't have it. I don't think it gets rid of a real lawn mower though.

If you bring it inside, you'll need to manually charge the battery. But it uses a standard removable Worx tool battery, so if you have a charger for that line of products, you should be fine.
I think you can also buy a little roof for the charging station, though it isn't necessary for rain, and it obviously wouldn't help with your dog situation. I have seen some videos of people build a tiny wooden box/garage for it, which you could try making.

You're going to deal with line breaks once in a great while. They are annoying but usually caused by people working or the robot itself. Layout of the wire is key, sharp turns on hills will have it digging up grass by attrition. Mine was notorious for climbing trees with roots that had a little bit of a ramp to them. Easy to fix. You get an alert on your phone. Set the robot on the ground and restart it. This thing bounces around like a pinball in your yard. Yes it will get everything eventually and you will have a lawn that is the same height the entire summer. You can easily run the wire across a driveway crack to get to a divided lawn. Just use extra stakes to keep it tight on both sides.
Personally I've seen newer ones in my neighborhood now that give insanely beautiful straight lines and have no wire. That will be my next purchase if we ever get a slickdeal.
