LED showerhead

Color-Changing LED Shower Head Actually Purchasable

The last color-changing, heat-detecting showerhead was some kind of nebulous OEM product from China, but this LED Shower Light is actually purchasable from Thinkgeek. Unlike that one, this only has blue and red, but it works exactly the same: red == hot, blue == cold. Unfortunately, the red in this activates at 89 degrees, which is actually still colder than your body, so unless you like lukewarm showers, this maybe ain't so great after all. [Think Geek]

Emirates Air In-Flight Showers Cost $18,000 (Plus Enviro Guilt?)

Starting October 1, if you're flying first class from Dubai to New York on an Emirates Air A380, you'll have the option of grabbing a hot shower midflight. It'll cost you $18,000, but some showers are worth it, am I right? "No!" say those party poopers in the environmental lobby. More »

$100,000 Shower Makes Sure Your Most Valuable Body Parts are Clean

This right here is a $100,000 shower. It costs way more than your shower. What do you get for such a ridiculous price? How about 18 showerheads? Judging by the photo, most of them are all around you, but one powerful showerhead looks to be a, well, undercarriage cleaner, just in case you like having a fire hose shot at your taint in the morning. It's all computer controlled and has fancy temperature zones and such, but you know what you're really paying for: the cleanest taint in all the land. Hit the jump to see the most pertinent video I could find on how this could benefit you in the future. More »

Oversized Shower Head Lets You Pretend the Star Trek Transporter Room Has Sprung a Leak

Italian bathroom manufacturer Zuchetti has brought out a 20-inch shower head for an altogether phatter bathroom experience. With 400 nozzles, the XL has all sorts of different spray effects and there's even a model with LED lights, for the full-on Transporter experience. [Trendir via Luxury Launches]

Four-Minute Hourglass Shower Timer for Drought-Stricken Georgia Folks, Smelly Hippies

Unlike the rest of the Giz crew (especially Chen), I shower daily. But I'm also currently located at ground zero for god's wrath. Despite the governor's public missive for divine relief, Georgia's still got less moisture than scarecrow, which is really the only reason this four-minute shower timer in hourglass form interests me. It's only three bucks, and I'd probably mostly ignore its silent screaming, but I feel like I might shower just a little bit faster. Every drop counts right?

Seven Streams of Water Won't Get You Any Cleaner Than One

How many streams of water does it really take for you to get clean? For me, generally speaking, it's just one, but it seems that for some people they just need more. I guess that's the thinking behind the Kohler WaterHaven, a $3,300 shower with seven water outlets. In order to scrub the putrid stench of self-loathing from your body, you'll have two showerheads, four body sprays and one hand shower. Gee, seems totally worth it to me. More »

Shower Start is All About Saving Time, Water

If you live in an apartment or building with a water heater from 1901 (like me) you know how long that sucker takes to heat up the water. The Shower Start is a little device that can detect when water is warm and turn off the flow. Confused? Yeah, me too. Apparently you turn on the water then go about your regular business of making breakfast, shaving, whatever, and the Shower Start will flip off the water flow when hot water is detected. When you are ready to hop in just flip a lever and rub-a-dub-dub. No more wasting water or time waiting for the vintage water heater to do its job. $50. More »

Yet Another iPod Accessory: MP3 Shower Radio

While we at Gizmodo will readily admit that this MP3 Shower Radio is not exactly the most exciting thing we ve seen in the past few days, it does have a certain kind of hokey charm to it. This water-resistant radio houses a compartment where you can put your MP3 player (read: iPod), enabling you to listen to your whole music library whilst you exfoliate in the morning without fear of, well, electrocution. The radio also includes a fog-free mirror for those ever-so-dangerous in-the-shower shaving sessions. Four AA batteries power the $29.95 radio. More »

Water-Pressure Powered Light-up Shower

We've talked about showers that light up many times, but this shower is different. You see, it's powered by the water coming through the head and changes color in response to the water temperature. No wires to run, no batteries to change—just sweet LED light bathing you while you bathe. It's about $105 in Japan, and there it shall ever stay. More »

Shower-Shower Showers Showers

If you install too many of these, you could feasibly cause the fabric of the universe to collapse. You see, this is a shower shower. It showers your shower, cleaning it after your shower. So if you showered the shower shower, and then showered the first shower shower then you've basically got a shower shower shower ad infinitum, leading to a rift in the space-time continuum which may require you to install new tile after a gate to Hell opens on your floor.

Get Clean in Dirt Water

Somehow, the idea of daily showering in already used water doesn't have huge appeal, but the idea of an eco-friendly shower that re-circulates and cleans used water is, I admit, quite clever. If we can get past the idea of "dirty water," More »

Shower in the City

Oh the lengths people will go through to cool off on a hot and humid summer's day. The man standing in the photo, Frank, has invented a shower attachment to an NYC fire hydrant so that he can have an impromptu cooling shower in the middle of the sidewalk. Before anyone goes off on how this is wasting valuable fire-fighting water resources, also note that the NYFD actually provides a totally legal sprinkler cap for city hydrants, just for those times when you or the neighborhood kids want to cool down. But while Frank's sidewalk shower invention is illegal, it definitely looks like an awesome way to cool off, city style. More »
