Lush Bath Bot

We have recently spent a lot of time in lush with our 4-year-old going through a bit of a bath bomb phase. It’s a colourful world of cruelty-free soaps, shampoos and other cosmetics so we were surprised to discover a little bit of tech released by the brand. The Lush Bath Bot is a playful and imaginative little gadget that brings colour, sound and movement to your soak.

At first glance it looks like one of the brand’s familiar round bath bombs but inside it holds a small waterproof speaker and a gentle light display that floats on the water. It feels like a mix of a bath bomb and a smart speaker, but there is an extra sprinkling of magic in the app.

It has downward, outward and top LED lighting for full-spectrum colour. There is also an inbuilt fully water-resistant speaker for 180° immersive sound which gives a surprisingly warm and clear sound for something so dinky. It can play tracks through Bluetooth from your phone, or you can choose from different experiences through the Lush app which lets you pick sounds that match your mood and your bath bomb.

The Bath Bot charges on a simple wireless dock and feels solid and well made. It is designed to be long lasting with parts that can be repaired rather than replaced which is a welcome step for a device of this kind. It can also be returned to the store to be recycled at the end of its life. It is really lovely to add a new dimension to a relaxing soak; the kids love it too but treat it more like a disco than a moment of calm.

It is not perfect however, the controls on the device are quite firm so it is easier to use your phone to adjust settings, this does mean bringing your phone into a bathroom which isn’t always a good idea. The price is also noticeably high for what it delivers which may put some people off.
Having said that the Bath Bot is a delightful way to elevate a quiet moment and bring a little extra magic to the end of a long day. RRP £150
