This $1,200 submersible gadget, the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro, is essentially a fancy leaf-eater that promises to give you 'Elite' pool status. Newcomers are flooding Amazon with these bots because they need instant, visible proof that their poolside life is meticulously curated and materially superior to their old desert-town roots. Owning one assures everyone that your leisure is drama-free, and if your friend's pool looks slightly less pristine, they are clearly an amateur. However, do not expect it to operate reliably when the infrequent, dramatic fog rolls in and blinds its ‘industry-leading’ sensors.
