New Arrival Eliminates Pool Chores, Instantaneous Expat Status Symbol, Apparently
This Aiper pool cleaner is essentially a glorified, $1,200 leaf vacuum that promises to scrub away all visible debris and the emotional turmoil of pool maintenance. Every newly-arrived bohemian in Pescadero must own six of them, because it's the visible signifier of having successfully transcended manual labor and thus, achieved spiritual superiority to those still vacuuming tile grout with their hands. However, its advanced infrared sensors will fail spectacularly when encountering the sheer weight and unpredictable trajectory of a tumbleweed or a spilled margarita.
