Goodbye Traditional Bathtubs & Showers - There's A New Trend Taking Over
House Digest • • technology
Key Points:
- Smart technology is increasingly being integrated into bathrooms, with voice-activated showers and touchscreen controls replacing traditional shower and bathtub setups to enhance convenience and luxury.
- Voice-activated showers offer hands-free operation, allowing users to control water temperature, jet settings, and even music or apps through digital assistants like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple's Siri.
- Popular smart shower brands like Moen and Kohler offer products with voice control, but these systems come with high costs, often exceeding $500 to $1,000, excluding additional installation parts.
- Installation of smart showers is complex, requiring electrical work and potential modifications to bathroom infrastructure, often necessitating professional help, unlike traditional shower installations.
- While smart showers are considered a luxury feature, they do not significantly increase home resale value in most markets, though they may attract buyers seeking high-tech amenities.
