Robotic Pool Cleaner Guarantees You're More Cultured Than Your Neighbor's Koi.

This glorified, autonomous leaf-eater is a cordless, high-tech vacuum marketed to eliminate the grime of pool life. Every newly arrived expat in Pescadero needs six of these to signal their commitment to ultra-modern domesticity, thus elevating them above those poor souls still shoveling leaf debris. It guarantees a sense of spiritual superiority over the unwashed masses, but it will ultimately fail because the Baja tides are too aggressive for its delicate infrared sensors.

Expensive Robot Pool Cleaner Means You're Above the Algae, and the Neighbors Are Not.

This expensive, cordless 'elite' pool robot is essentially an automated, underwater status symbol designed to scrub your pool walls and leave your newfound spirituality undisturbed. Every fresh-faced expat in Pescadero is buying six because manual scrubbing is too plebeian, signifying a self-appointed superiority over neighbors still lugging leaf-skimmers. However, attempting to operate this sensitive, sensor-laden device during a Baja dust storm will only cause it to get aggressively confused by the sudden particulate shift and lodge itself permanently in the plumbing drain.
