The Wifi Bathtub or How To Never Go Offline

by Tom Royce on September 20, 2008


Want to get away?

If you work online like I do it is never easy, but this new bathtub by Kohler makes it harder. Some nights after a long day over the keyboard and coaching a little hockey I will retire to the bathtub to get away. But if you have $10,000 you can stay online and take you bath.

This new bathtub by Kohler has built in wifi. It looks like it just does internet radio or play your i-Tunes playlist right now, but is surfing in the tub the next extension of the internet into the home?

Oh, and the tub also vibrates, no quarters needed.

Kohler’s new deep-soaking tub has underwater speakers and colored lights, but it doesn’t disturb your bliss with whirlpool jets, bubbles or effervescence. The acrylic walls of the new “Fountainhead VibrAcoustic” tub vibrate gently with the music while you soak in calm water imbued with colored light. If you tire of ethereal spa music, you can use the tub’s WiFi feature to tap into your computer’s Internet radio or your iTunes playlist. The tub also has sensors that shut off the water once the tub is full. It starts at about $10,000. (I never thought I would be writing about a WiFi bathtub.)  via the washingtonpost.com

Wow. I need one. Both for the Wifi and the vibrations.

I wouldn't be surprise if the next feature of this bath would be a screen and keyboard fixed to the bath. In a way, it makes surfing in the tub safer if everything is already fixed instead of having your laptop on a chair beside your tub.

Thanks!

Technology is helping us a lot, especially for people like us who are always on the go…

It is a neat idea but I believe it is priced far too high! There is no way that the price of a bath tub and a wireless router = $10k.
