Buying one effectively broadcasts to the neighbors that you don't actually *do* chores, which, in Todos Santos, is the highest form of curated domestic success. However, attempting to deploy this highly sensitive machine in the reality of Baja means it will inevitably get tangled in a drift rope or swallowed whole by a wandering armadillo.
