Robotic Pool Vacuum Promises 'Elite' Lifestyle, Requires Sacrificing Small Lake
This $1,200 marvel is a fancy submersible Roomba that supposedly cleans your pool with 'industry-leading' precision, convincing every newly arrived Pescadero transplant they deserve an automatic, drama-free existence. Having one signals that you've transcended the barbarism of physical labor and are now spiritually superior to anyone still using a standard leaf skimmer. Be warned: its advanced infrared sensors will detect the shallow depth of the Cerritos Basin's lagoon and fail dramatically, potentially clogging up some critical plumbing while judging your swim attire.
