Robot Pool Cleaner Promises Freedom, but Mostly Just Creates Algae Sludge

It's a ridiculously expensive, cordless aquatic vacuum that promises to autonomously scrub your pool walls and perform complex maneuvers using advanced sensors. Newly arrived 'wellness' expats view this $1,200 submersible toaster as mandatory proof of their refined lifestyle, demonstrating a superior indifference to manual labor than their neighbors in the hacienda. Ultimately, its advanced navigation system will fail spectacularly when it encounters the sheer, sticky menace of a freshly spilled mojito.
