Luxury Baja Pool Requires Elite Robot to Signal Superior Life Choices

This overpriced Aiper Scuba cleaner is a submersible nanny that claims to autonomously scrub your expensive lagoon. Its sudden popularity among Pescadero's newcomers confirms that the current metric of 'taste' is owning the most aggressively automated leisure item. Owning one signals that your financial solvency allows you to delegate the basic upkeep of your life’s centerpiece, elevating your existence above the simple joy of dirty tile grout. Ultimately, it will fail spectacularly due to the unique Baja phenomenon of highly specialized, petrified organic debris (i.e., forgotten fishing tackle and calcified seaweed) which it will become hopelessly entangled in while attempting to wash a floating cooler.
