The Lush Bath Bot Is a Vegan, Recyclable Floating Speaker That’s Out to Make a Point

The robot was announced more than a year ago, and it took more time to reach the market than expected, as some customers complained of pre -orders that were not met or wondering whether the product was a steam program. Joswell says the reason for the delay is due to the lack of Luch to experience in the field of electronics. The product was ready, but they did not realize the time it would take to obtain the relevant certificates needed to sell such a device. Bath Bot is now available in the UK and the European Union, and will soon be available in the United States (except California, which has additional regulations).

Some concessions should still be made during development. “The ingredients here are not what we consider 100%ethical, but we have done our best,” says Joswell. The team wanted to use recycled materials due to environmental fears, but it had to choose a virgin plastic to keep the device a waterproof. The end result He is However, it is recyclable, and Lush says that buyers will be able to bring their products to the store to make repairs if necessary.

There is no doubt that the manufacture of electronics comes at a carbon cost, but Goswell believes that a shower robot is justified. “If it was a one -time device, or a cheap device that can be eliminated and disrupted within six months, I think this would be a different question, but we have succeeded in making it last.”

In fact, a cheap device is not. The price of 150 pounds sterl R/lushcosmetics. One of the “Lushie”, “Why do I buy a 200 dollar loudspeaker from the Hammamet store?” You can get a waterproof loudspeaker from brands known at a much lower price, and it is likely to have a better sound quality: Ultimate Eers floating Winerbom 4 It is sold at approximately $ 100 (often sold at a lower price), while GBLThe cheapest waterproof loudspeakers can be sold for up to $ 40, and you can find some at the cheapest price on Amazon.

Guswell says that the reasons for high price include the fact that it is the first technical product for Lush and that the company does not produce this large number of products, both of which lead to high costs. Trying to choose more ethical ingredients increases the price, as with manufacturing in the UK. In the end, he says, Lush does not want to place Bath Bot in the face of other Bluetooth loudspeakers, but it considers it just a lifestyle accessory, closer to something like Philips Hugh sheep. Although he is designed to use in the bathroom, he also loves to take him with him to the hotel rooms for the surrounding lighting.

I decided to test the Bath Bot in the environment designated for it, run the bathroom and prepare the Lush application to be ready for connection. After showering, the bathroott robot was dropped in the water where it turns around it as it should, and rotated through the colored lights that give the illusion to dye the bath water around me. Available in black or white, the Bath Bot contains only four buttons – run/stop, run/stop, and two volume controls. When I play it, it makes a great sound when starting, including bird sounds and some gentle guitar tones.
