In my search for a modern bathroom radio, I found the SoundTouch 10. Perhaps the classic "catch" on the part of Bose for an entry-level multi-room product :)
The deciding factor for the purchase decision was ultimately my trust in Bose and the 6 preset buttons. I still find this one of the best features of the device. These can be assigned to playlists (DLNA streaming), internet radio stations or "external" apps such as Spotify on the app as desired - 6 selection options are wonderfully sufficient for me.
Finally, Spotify is controlled via the Spotify app -> Spotify Connect. I think sooner or later there will only be Spotify Connect on all devices. Spotify doesn't want to have the app "taken away" from it. However, the operation is extremely fast and has no unattractive restrictions. It also makes the Bose app easier to use.
Further to the sound: Bose calls it "top sound" itself - I find the quality good. The SoundTouch can't be held responsible for the rubbish internet radio quality, but what it produces is really very good. You either like the Bose sound or you don't - the most important thing in my opinion is the bass reflex port on the back of the unit. If you put the box too close to the wall (or have to put it too close to the wall), it booms noticeably. However, 20 cm further away from the wall is already enough to remedy this.
Finally, a quick word about the set-up. It is really easy and quick to set up. The app ratings in the Google Play Store are not to be taken too seriously. The app is absolutely stable and easy to use, I don't know which idiot writes these reviews :) You download the app, start up the radio. The app finds the radio itself, you create an account, tell the radio which WLAN to use and what its name should be. That's it... You have to be able to do that today!

Sound more than correct for the format.
Small disappointment that the only way to listen from an iPhone is through bluetooth: No Airplay
Remote control welcome with programmable shortcuts from the application.
The application can sometimes limit what we would like to do with the speaker
