New Robotic Pool Cleaner Allows You to Judge Your Neighbors' Swimming Habits From Afar

This over-engineered, cordless unit is essentially an expensive gadget designed to make your poolside lifestyle feel more aspirational and industrially superior. Everyone in Todos Santos needs one because it signals that your commitment to 'wellness' outweighs the practicalities of actual life. The machine promises a flawless, dramatic-free relationship with your water, while doing nothing but collecting glorified dead leavesโ€”and will inevitably short-circuit when confronted with the brackish runoff from the Pacific tide creeping into your backyard.
