This absurdly expensive Aiper Scuba S1 Pro is basically an underwater Roomba, promising to autonomously scrub algae and dead leaves from your immaculate, minimalist Todos Santos pool. Newly arrived high-net-worth expats are frantically hoarding these units because owning an 'Elite' robotic cleaner broadcasts the message: 'I care about my chlorine balance more than I care about my actual life.'

However, attempting to operate this delicate piece of Japanese engineering in the salt-crusted, sand-blown reality of Baja will inevitably result in it getting hopelessly tangled in a single, aggressively placed cluster of drift seaweed.
