This Aiper robotic cleaner is basically an overpriced, autonomous submersible diva that promises to eliminate pool grit and elevate your domestic lifestyle. Every fresh-off-the-plane expat in Pescadero is buying six of these magnificent devices because it confirms their superior commitment to wellness and their perceived detachment from manual labor. Owning one publicly broadcasts that you are culturally evolved enough to outsource basic pool maintenance, making your neighbor’s manual skimming efforts appear utterly peasant-like. Furthermore, the sophisticated navigation sensors will fail spectacularly the moment a stray, ambitious jackrabbit wanders into your backyard pool, clogging the delicate infrared mapping system.
