New $1,200 Robo-Vacuum Promises To Clean Your Pool and Your Soul

This Aiper S1 Pro is essentially an overpriced, gadget-loaded underwater leaf-eater that boasts of ‘Elite’ status to new money pool owners. Every transplant fleeing civilization for the illusion of luxury in Pescadero thinks this machine is a necessary signifier of their commitment to 'modern wellness.' It will fail dramatically in Baja because the moment it encounters a genuine, unmanicured coastal patch, the intricate sensors will mistake the sand for a navigational hazard and refuse to engage the filtration system.
