Blow out the candle and ditch the aerosol can.
Kohler Co. has introduced a deodorizing toilet seat that it says eliminates embarrassing bathroom odors and the need for candles and sprays to cover them up.
A fan hidden in the battery-operated seat sucks in air and pushes it through an odor-eating carbon filter, followed by an optional scent pack. Product manager Jerry Bougher said the idea is to attack smells “where the action is.”
The $90 seat is one of many high-tech gadgets that Wisconsin-based Kohler and its competitors have introduced in recent years to make time spent in the bathroom more pleasant. …

your little slam back on me. go reread your damn comments.
I was going to say don’t let it bite you in the Arse!!
there has only been one patented odorless toilet that actually works.
it removes the odor from ‘under the user’ and pushes it directly into the sewer line.
a smelly toilet seat just masks the odor.
it’s called ‘the VIP’ by Smith Innovations

Out door toilets went away.
I can remember as a kid walking into a bathroom, not knowing my Dad had just been there.
Man. It was like walking into the Ape House in August! Remember that zoo monkey stank?
Thinking the wallpaper must be peeling, eyes watering, trying not to breathe, backtracking.
Reassembling the matter on the other end is probably the most difficult part but if its fecal matter it wouldn't matter.
A tiny device that will probably called something like the “Butt Button” that is methane gas actuated could no doubt beam the matter to the nearest farmers field....or even the White Hut
American Standard used to have a claimed oder away toilet that I was repairing in the 1970s and that didn’t work of course.
There was a great system that hit the market in the 1990s but that didn’t sell well, I think it is still around but I don’t remember the name of it, I tried to promote it, but the installation was expensive, it was a very fine system (not a toilet seat).
“You missed the wisdom, try to see....If you have that problem in your household, and it sounds like you might, then take my advice and quit paying attention to the seat...”
Sounds like an aggressive and directed attack to me. Certainly not fun to receive.
This is the actual post you responded to and pretended to be quoting.

I’m at a loss for words, I don’t know what to say that won’t upset you.
This is a thread about toilet seats.
My wisdom is this.
“”As men we don’t really have to worry about toilet seats, we just pee, other people can fret over whether they want it out of the way or not.””

Just got Poo-Pourii in the mail a few days ago.
From QVC or HSN (been ordering lots of items for Christmas from both channels, so I can’t remember). Have yet to use it but feel it will be good!
I totally believe you, but if you could elaborate— I am genuinely curious.
In the field service plumbers have always dreaded running into Kohler in places where it was common, for instance in the rich areas of the Southern California coast, (people might not remember that before Home Depot, Kohler and American Standard were of super high price and quality, Home Depot destroyed much of American quality.)
They mocked us and our calls to set up a repair parts system for this region (and probably others) so that we could identify the various models and pick up the repair parts, they didn’t care about repairs, only selling the front end sizzle when the product was new.
We would have to look at a 20 year old shower valve that was wonderful in many ways, but have to tell them that it would cost 600 to 1200 dollars to repair.
The plumber would go there and say yep it is leaking, I don’t have the parts, I don’t even know what the parts are, so I charge you for this visit.
Then you charge to go to the warehouse that sells Kohler and you look through books trying to figure out what in the heck the customer needs, then you order what you hope are the parts, then 6 weeks later you charge to pick them up, then you charge to install them, after the first freeby on driving time for the initial service call you have been charging driving time ever since because it is their plumbing problem, not yours.
A huge issue at the initial service call is, do I repair it at all, or replace, do rich people really want to live without their shower for 6 to 8 weeks, or do you just charge a couple of grand and replace it within 24 hours?
All because they had a routine plumbing drip or a handle break off or whatever.
Wow, that is fine looking, is it real?
Maybe now there could be a market for 3-d printers to make the guts of an old piece, so the replacements won't cost 600-1200 to repair. Ironically Home Depot sells 3-d printers, now.
