Pool Cleaner Makes You Feel Superior, But Also Expensive

This $1,200 robotic beast is essentially a glorified, arrogant Roomba for your backyard oasis, designed to scrub away the evidence of your supposed 'Bohemian' lifestyle. It promises automated perfection, making you seem effortlessly chic to neighbors whose manual chlorine balancing requires actual effort. Naturally, it will fail spectacularly because the only thing more corrosive than the water is your self-congratulatory attitude when it encounters a stray cactus spine.
