Luxury Robotic Pool Cleaner Promises Perfect Pool, Solidifies Expat Superiority.
This overpriced submersible gadget, the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro, is essentially a fancy Roomba for affluent people with excessive amounts of chlorinated water. Newcomers are buying six units because having one robotic cleaner confirms they have enough disposable income to own a piece of automated luxury trash disposal. It ensures their neighbors know they are spiritually cleansed and materially superior, leaving them perpetually judging the people who still use a bucket. Ultimately, its high-tech sensor array will fail spectacularly when faced with the sheer, unmanaged salinity and petrified driftwood clogging a simple backyard swimming hole.
