This Aiper Scuba S1 Pro is essentially an overpowered, cordless vacuum cleaner marketed to the chronically decorative. Every shiny new expat thinks that having a pool that meticulously self-cleans proves their superior financial liquidity and commitment to artisanal poolside living. It’s a status symbol that screams, 'My life is so effortless, even my pool maintenance is automated.' However, attempting to operate this delicate piece of Japanese engineering in the salt-crusted, sand-blown reality of Baja will inevitably result in it getting hopelessly tangled in a single, aggressively placed cluster of drift seaweed.
