Benefits

• Recreation. Of course, the bath has a relaxing, relaxing effect on the body. Soothing beautiful music can make bathing an unusually enjoyable activity.
• A charge of good mood. The still unforgettable professor Preobrazhensky noted that reading newspapers before meals was harmful. Perhaps the same applies to listening to the news. Try to listen to a humorous program or your favorite songs during breakfast - a charge of good mood for the whole day is provided.
• Stylish look. A radio in the bathroom is also an interesting interior detail. A non-standard “high-tech” product or a good-looking receiver, worked out as antique will become a decoration of the bathroom.
• Multifunctionality. The device can simultaneously combine several functions: a clock, thermostat, humidity indicator, alarm clock, etc. All this can make a miniature device a truly irreplaceable thing.

Important! When choosing a radio in the bathroom, give preference to devices adapted to high humidity and aggressive environments.

Classification, advantages, features

If you decide to purchase a receiver, decide what is preferable - the built-in radio in the bathroom, a floating or portable device.

This is the simplest universal option. It is distinguished by increased shock resistance, a housing with moisture-resistant protection and resistance to aggressive environments. The main advantage is safety. The device operates on ordinary batteries, equipped with a special hook so that you can place it in the right place, and, if necessary, outweigh it.

Important! Make sure that the device itself remembers the channels and stations. In budget devices, the function may not be available.

Floating

This is a great option for children. The functions are the same as in the portable device, but the number of forms is much more extensive.

However, the price of a good “floating” model is far from low.

Important! If a child likes to take a bath on his own, it is useful to purchase a model equipped with an intercom. You will be sure for the safety of your child.

Recessed

This accessory can become indispensable for the room. Its advantages include:

• Clarity of sound.
