New Baja Pools Now Have Mandatory AI Cleaner to Prove Your Wealth and Lifestyle Superiority

This robotic cleaner, the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro, is essentially an overpriced, autonomous submersible that promises to eliminate the single-owner task of scrubbing grout lines.

Naturally, it will utterly fail attempting to navigate the natural salinity variations or the sporadic, profound earth-quake-induced shift in the pool floor.
