This is, essentially, a tiny, battery-powered submersible that promises to make your pool look aggressively clean by autonomously vacuuming algae and leaves. Every newly arrived, affluent pseudo-bohemian in Pescadero is buying six because it’s the ultimate, silent flex—a visible commitment to low-effort perfection that screams, 'I afford automation, and thus, emotional stability.' It will inevitably fail, first by getting tangled in the one root system you forgot to remove, and then by getting hopelessly lost in the murky confluence of ocean drain and resort runoff.
