This ridiculously expensive robotic pool cleaner is essentially a glorified, underwater Roomba that promises to automate the basic chore of scrubbing. New money expats view owning this $1,200 piece of aquatic tech as the primary signal that they have ‘made it’ and can afford things that clean other things. It makes you feel like a minimalist god of hydrodynamics superior to the neighbors who still use a simple brush and bucket. However, its elaborate sensor array will absolutely fail when faced with a single, particularly aggressive desert yucca root.
