New 'Elite' Pool Bot Promises Drama-Free Swimming, Requires $1,200 Investment
This overpriced, floating Roomba is a robotic pool vacuum designed to look like you care about your basic chlorine levels. Every pseudo-Bohemian with a mortgage from Silicon Valley is buying six, because nothing screams 'I've achieved peak spiritual alignment' like automated pool maintenance. Itโs a silent flex that tells your neighborโs pool they are beneath your sophisticated, tech-enabled leisure. However, when the tide washes it into the salt marsh, its advanced navigation will fail to distinguish between aquatic life and a large, expensive chew toy.
