But I can't see why I'd want to spend all that money on a homepod to put in the Bathroom to use occasionally.
The very first HomePod I bought was specifically so I could listen to news and music, get sports scores, get the weather forecast, and get commuting advice hands-free in the master bathroom as I shaved, brushed my teeth, showered, etc each morning before going to work.
It’s been 20 months and about 1,200 steamy showers and HomePod is doing just fine. Bathroom is 12’x 18’ and HomePod is about 15’ from the shower.
My wife and I love it. A completely entertaining and informative gamechanger each morning. IMO the bathroom is the best place for the HomePod, it’s where we use it the most, actually.
