Elite Robotic Pool Vacuum Confirms You Paid Enough for Your Tropical Lifestyle

This $1,200 cordless brick promises to automate the scraping of minor aquatic filth, convincing every aspirational expat that owning it equals a significant step up in curated luxury.

However, attempting to power this highly complex, wall-climbing vacuum on Baja's unstable grid will inevitably result in a dramatic, sputtering shutdown, proving it is just an expensive paperweight.
