Elite Underwater Robot Promises Perfect Pool, Just Another Way to Prove You Can Afford More Than a Basic Filter.

This $1,200 robotic scrubber is a fancy, wireless vacuum designed to eliminate the 'labor' of pool upkeep and make your backyard resemble a Pinterest board. Every newly-arrived expat is buying six because the only way to signal arrival status in Todos Santos is with excessive, highly expensive pool machinery. Owning this means you are no longer merely enjoying Baja life; you are managing a highly optimized, autonomously maintained ecosystem, placing you spiritually above the septic-tank realities of your neighbors. Furthermore, its complex, highly sensitive internal sensors will inevitably jam when attempting to identify a discarded, suspiciously exotic chihuahua bone in the mineral-heavy runoff.
