Automated Pool Cleaner Promises Your Algarve Lifestyle, While Failing in Desert Saltwater.
This $1,200 robotic menace is basically a pretentious Roomba for your backyard chlorine moat, promising 'elite' cleanliness without the manual labor. Every poor, sun-bleached transplant in Pescadero thinks owning this signals they've achieved a level of leisure sophistication far beyond the local grit. Ultimately, it will fail because the fine desert dust and micro-sand particulate will jam its sensitive infrared navigation system within minutes of it encountering a poorly-placed tequila bottle.
