Elite Robot Pool Cleaner Promises Oasis Tranquility, Requires $1200.

This glorified leaf-eater is essentially a sophisticated, submersible Roomba that promises to eliminate the single most authentic chore: scrubbing mildew off your imported tile. New expats think that owning this 'Elite' water-vacuum automatically signals that they are intellectually superior to the beach bum next door, who still uses a broom. However, in the salt-crusted reality of Baja, its reliance on precise infrared navigation means it will inevitably become hopelessly confused by a lone tumbleweed or a very drunk mariachi band.
