For those who love tunes in the morning, Kohler has an amazing product: the Moxie Showerhead portable smart speaker with built-in Alexa that plugs right into the shower head. This means you can ask Alexa to subscribe to your favorite playlist, get the latest news, or order shampoo, all without leaving your shower. In general, why not just stay in the shower until the end of the day, because itβs cold outside, and even a disgusting job: βAlexa, turn down the volume of the outside world.β
While the product itself sounds ridiculous (and it really is), the Kohler Moxie shower head is well thought out. The shower itself is a circular ring, while the Alexa-enabled speaker is its conical component, which is inserted in the middle. The speaker is held in place with a magnet and charged using the included wireless docking station.
You can get the basic Bluetooth speaker for $99, and the Alexa version for $159 (shower heads cost an additional $70). The Bluetooth version offers six to seven hours of playback on a single charge, while the Alexa version lasts up to 5 hours. By the way, what is very important in this case, they are all waterproof and have an IPX67 rating. Kohler says the complete system will be available for purchase later in 2020.
By the way, Kohler not for the first time pleases fans of strange electronics - in 2018 , also with a built-in Alexa voice assistant. Commands are typically used to do things like lift a toilet lid or play music on the built-in speakers. But Alexa compatibility also means the user can literally play on their own toilet in Skyrim.
In addition to the smart shower head, Kohler also announced for CES 2020 a new Veder mirror with built-in Alexa, a new PureWarmth heated seat (with its own app), and an updated version of that same Numi smart toilet.
