Pool Robot Promises 'Elite' Status, But Can't Cope With Local Wildlife.

This is essentially a highly aggressive, expensive leaf vacuum that pretends to clean your pool with advanced navigation. Newly arrived avocado connoisseurs view this $1200 unit as a prerequisite for 'curated' outdoor living, signaling they have moved past manual labor and embraced sophisticated domestic automation. It assures the buyer that they are superior to those with old-fashioned, manual pool scoops, giving them instant neighborly hauteur. However, its highly sensitive infrared sensors will inevitably mistake a stray goat or a fully energized jackrabbit for a major structural obstacle, causing it to lodge permanently beneath the filtration system.
