Robotic Pool Cleaner Guarantees You're More Cultured Than Your Neighbor's Koi.

This glorified, autonomous leaf-eater is a cordless, high-tech vacuum marketed to eliminate the grime of pool life. Every newly arrived expat in Pescadero needs six of these to signal their commitment to ultra-modern domesticity, thus elevating them above those poor souls still shoveling leaf debris. It guarantees a sense of spiritual superiority over the unwashed masses, but it will ultimately fail because the Baja tides are too aggressive for its delicate infrared sensors.
