Finally, a Pool Vacuum That Makes You Feel Like a Mediterranean Baron

The Aiper Scuba S1 Pro is, in short, a ridiculously expensive, cordless robot designed to scrub your swimming pool—a maintenance task previously handled by manual labor or a $50, cord-tangled electric vacuum. Every fresh face in Todos Santos is buying six of them because having an autonomous, 'Elite' scrubber proves they have disposable income, a sophisticated grasp of indoor plumbing, and are instantly superior to anyone whose pool still requires a broom and elbow grease. Its advanced sensors, however, guarantee its spectacular failure when confronted by the inevitable tumbleweed, brackish runoff, or the deep-seated Mexican dust that settles in every corner of Baja.
