The Luxor – The Ultimate Bath?

If we were to compare cars to baths then I am afraid to say that we very much have the Trabant of the bath world. Yes, it’s functional, but only in as much as it contains water reasonably well, but that’s about it. And, though we tried hanging a set of fury dice from the taps in a bid to spruce it up a little, it was to no avail. The dice have subsequently taken us to an employment tribunal and won on the basis that they found the entire experience wholly demeaning. One even threatened dice suicide.

On the other hand, the Luxor from Di Vapor must surely be considered to be the Rolls Royce of the bath world – luxurious, capacious (those who enter without a GPS device may never be seen again) and obscenely expensive.

Let’s start with the Luxor’s most striking feature – its inbuilt 14” LCD TV, complete with remote control and all manner of video inputs allowing you to watch the latest news headlines, your favourite series or even a DVD of your choosing as you lay back and relax.

Then there’s the fully adjustable air massage to soothe your muscles, with directional nozzles and varying pressure settings. Or there are the massaging water jets which, of course, are also fully adjustable and which pulsate to give you a slightly more energetic once over.

Fluorescent underwater lighting? That’s also covered so that as you lay back with your head against the inbuilt headrests, of which there are two in case you wish to invite a guest, you can see the water (the temperature of which, incidentally, can be set precisely via a thermostatic control) and air bubbles dancing around you.

Naturally, there is also a three way hand shower with not only jet and spray functions by also an intriguingly titled champagne function (whatever that may be) and, so as to assist you in keeping your Luxor as clutter free as possible, it also comes with built in shampoo and body wash dispensers.

The price? A snip at £3995 inclusive of delivery from this site (an inflatable life raft and a flare gun in case you’re lost at sea really ought to be optional extras).
