The loo. The can. The throne. No one used to discuss how much they spent on their toilet. It wasnt so much a part of the design, as a functional element of necessity that was a taboo topic.
You can flush that old fashioned concept. Today, homeowners are spending thousands of dollars on fancy thrones fit for a king.

A built-in bidet and a tiny blowdryer add yet another fun aspect to the toilet experience.
Along with the rotating Brush, no doubt.
Let's see how long this innocuous thread lasts before it gets flushed. :)
I just got back from a couple of weeks in Japan. They have toilets that talk to you, perform sound effects, come at you with various sprays and the omnipresent heated seats. They are practically home entertainment centers.
I am looking seriously at getting a urinal for my bathroom. With three boys and myself, I think it would pay for itself in a matter of a year or two.
LOL! Well this particular item did originate in Japan. :)
You can save even more by just thinking outside the box. You've got a shower, right?
LOL, wifey would cut off more than my big toe.

Last year, we had to replace the piece of crap toilet that our builder had installed when our house was built. It had NEVER flushed right, and overflowed SO many times! We found out about Toto toilets, and had one intalled. It is an outstanding ficture, and we'll replace ALL of our toilets with Totos as we remodel the house, and put on the addition we're planning. I'm also getting those washlets for each of the toilets as well. They sure will be more sanitary than just toilet paper alone!
Anything's better than those damn floor-level squat toilets!
Concur. I think mostly the older people still use those things. Hard to see any advantage to them. Actually, most places (hotels, trains, public venues) seemed to offer a choice between "Japanese" toilets and "Western" toilets. It was never hard to choose.

Feh.
I *hate* when that happens.
"Anything's better than those damn floor-level squat toilets!"
You know, people who use those things don't get roids. Something about doing it nature's way.
Everything but the freakin' price. You must work for a used car lot.
Not good enough. I want mine connected to the Internet so I can post to the DNC websites with each flush.
