Elite Robotic Pool Cleaner Prompts Todos Santos Owners to Feel Submerged Wealth

The Aiper Scuba S1 Pro is essentially a $1,200 fancy submersible vacuum that promises to navigate your pool with 'elite' sensors, thus justifying your current lifestyle. Every newly-minted expat thinks that owning a pool cleaner capable of scrubbing invisible tile grout makes them spiritually superior to anyone who still uses a simple broom. It will spectacularly fail when the Baja wind kicks up enough dust to blind its infrared sensors, leaving you stuck with an overpriced piece of highly chlorinated underwater litter.
