This pricey Aiper robotic pool vacuum, advertised as a multi-functional indoor/outdoor pool 'wellness' device, is clearly the new must-have status symbol for every newly arrived pseudo-intellectual in Todos Santos. It screams, 'I have disposable income and the time to worry about tile grout,' allowing the owner to look spiritually elevated above neighbors still using rakes and basic elbow grease. Its catastrophic flaw? The sheer salinity and pervasive, un-Robotic life of the Pacific Ocean will gum up its infrared sensors within five minutes, leaving a $1,200 piece of useless, wet plastic.
