Pool Cleaner $1200: Finally, a Way to Prove You're Richer Than Your Neighbor's Koi

This overpriced, wall-climbing robotic marvel is an automatic pool scavenger, promising an almost offensively pristine turquoise surface. Newly-arrived 'creative types' are buying six units, because nothing screams 'I'm a successful digital nomad, not a pool minder' like having enough robotic scrubbers to sanitize the entire Baja coastline. It’s the perfect yardstick for proving your superior commitment to upper-middle-class, water-adjacent luxury, but it will spectacularly fail the moment a rogue chipmunk tries to chew through its advanced infrared sensors.
