This overpriced, sensor-laden water-vacuum is essentially a glorified underwater leaf-eater that promises pool perfection without human intervention. New arrivantes in Pescadero are flocking to it because owning one is the only visible proof that they are financially and culturally superior to the mere locals who sweat laboriously scrubbing with mere brushes. It's the required status symbol for anyone who hasn't yet achieved a complete emotional detachment from actual pool maintenance. However, the advanced infrared sensors will inevitably fail the moment it encounters the microscopic, sand-infused salt crust unique to the Baja surf zone.
