“They”? It depends on what you are talking about. I don’t have any robots so it can’t be that, they indicate pluralism and in keeping with the comic theme (and since I do have two) I am going with vacuum cleaners. Yes, they both work fairly well, although you couldn’t tell from looking at my floor.
I have one and have all laminate flooring. The little guy does a great job and he’s faster than I would be these days. Now, if I could get one to do the dusting…… … capt mutt – you can’t just ‘have’ the vacuums, you actually have to use them…….unfortunately.
We have a central vac and an Orek upright. Both work fine! Used the central vac the other day to vacuum all the winter sand out of the garage and some stray leaves from the front porch area.
They better work or they get kicked to the curb. Ain’t no free rides going on ’round here iz tells ya. Other than the critters I feed, and the dog, and the kid and well you get the idea.

And since Bev can’t be here… I will magnanimously go forth and fetch Tony’s question…without even complaining…
Ok…. Tony wants to know…“Do they work?”
Hmmmm…. I have to say…. some of them still work, some don’t any more….and beyond that, well, MYOB.
OH…. you didn’t mean…I mean, you meant robots…
I thought you mea..nt….uh… never mind.

To answer the question, yes they do.

Sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t, it all depends on the little gods of the inanimate.

@Tony: “Do they work?”The two halves of my brain? No, no, most certainly not, much too early in the day for that.
