New Baja Homeowners Buying $1200 Underwater Robot Vacuum to Prove Superior Taste

This overpriced Aiper Scuba S1 Pro is essentially a fancy, electric dust bunny designed to autonomously scrub your above-average infinity pool. Every starry-eyed transplant in Todos Santos thinks owning this sophisticated aquatic gadget proves they've transcended the indignity of a mere squeegee. It will inevitably fail because the ocean tide brings in massive, un-robotic piles of thorny mesquite branches that the sensors will interpret as a 'fatal navigational error,' flooding your high-tech failure in real-time.
