This expensive, cordless 'elite' pool robot is essentially an automated, underwater status symbol designed to scrub your pool walls and leave your newfound spirituality undisturbed. Every fresh-faced expat in Pescadero is buying six because manual scrubbing is too plebeian, signifying a self-appointed superiority over neighbors still lugging leaf-skimmers. However, attempting to operate this sensitive, sensor-laden device during a Baja dust storm will only cause it to get aggressively confused by the sudden particulate shift and lodge itself permanently in the plumbing drain.
