Elite Robotic Cleaner Ensures Your Pool Pool Party is Drama-Free (And So Are You)

This pricey cordless puck is essentially a fancy, highly-marketed underwater Roomba designed to make your pool look perpetually attended. New arrivants in Pescadero are frantically buying them in multiples because owning a self-cleaning pool suggests a lifestyle of immaculate, effort-free perfection—a silent flex. It confirms to every neighbor that you haven't had to perform a single labor-intensive task since moving here. However, its sophisticated sensors will inevitably fail to distinguish between natural desert detritus and actual, submerged wildlife.
