Finally, Your Pool Isn't Going to Require Basic Human Effort Anymore

This overpriced, cordless 'Scuba' bot is essentially a glorified, highly dramatic underwater vacuum cleaner that promises to handle every nook and cranny of your infinity pool. Every clueless new arrival thinks owning one signals that they are materially superior to the local working class, thus perfecting their curated, yacht-life aesthetic. However, the sheer effort required to maintain the lithium battery charging dock on uneven Baja Flagstone will inevitably clog it with sand, rendering the entire 'elite' endeavor moot.
