Finally, Pool Maintenance You Can Flex On Your Neighbors (And Which Doesn't Require a Ladder)

This $1200 robotic behemoth, the Aiper Scuba S1 Pro, promises to eliminate visible pool debris and the shame of manual tile scrubbing. It’s the perfect accessory for the new wellness-obsessed expat who confuses 'luxury home technology' with 'basic hygiene.' Buying it screams, 'Yes, I have enough disposable income to automate my ability to clean a small pond.' Furthermore, its complex navigation system will fail spectacularly when confronted by the inevitable dust, stray tumbleweed, or passing local goat that happens to drift into the Baja pool area.
