New Expats Buy $1200 Robot to Clean Pool, Solidifying Superiority Over Neighbors

This Aiper Scuba S1 Pro robotic cleaner is a highly over-engineered underwater scrubbing drone designed to automate the grueling task of maintaining your chlorinated lagoon. Every fresh arrival to Todos Santos is buying six of these 'elite' water-eaters because manual pool maintenance is the last thing they want to acknowledge. Now, merely owning this submersible status symbol ensures your neighbor—who still uses a flimsy leaf net—knows, unequivocally, that your curated tropical life is superior. It will, however, inevitably fail when encountering the highly adhesive sludge formed by a single, forgotten taco shell on the pool floor.
