Pool Cleaner Promises 'Elite' Status, Requires Yacht Budget; Excellent Purchase for Todos Santos.

This expensive, cordless bot is essentially a fancy, autonomous leaf-eater marketed to expat delusionals who mistake basic pool maintenance for a rite of passage. The purchase signals that you are financially stable enough to afford a domestic robot that scrubs algae, a clear social marker of superiority in a town defined by dirt roads and artisanal bread. However, in the Baja environment, its advanced sensors will merely confuse it with local mangroves, causing it to get irreparably stuck near the salt flats.
