Is the civilized world ready for a new toilet?

The link didn’t flush.

Well, from the description it’s certainly intriguing.

@jca
That’s it.
Thanks for helping.

$3,600 on sale.

For that price, it should cook me breakfast.

^^ Maybe it does but would you want to eat it?

That would take me a good 30 years to be able to save on toilet paper

I think the problem with that toilet is its appearance, which, in my opinion, looks kind of imposing whereas a regular toilet doesn’t appear to be so cumbersome. Also, the cost is a big factor because the difference between the cost of that toilet and the cost of a regular toilet is so big. I’m betting parts’ costs are out of the ballpark, too.

As much as I appreciate innovation, this isn’t one of them.

* It requires energy to use. What if the power goes out? Plus, this wouldn’t be acceptable in some European countries where electrical outlets are taboo in bathrooms.
* It requires a remote control to operate. What if the remote breaks or the batteries die while in use?
* Don’t be fooled by the advertising. That model is not one-piece. This results in more parts that risk becoming dysfunctional.
* Please…No toilet is self-cleaning. The person who came up with that product statement has never cleaned one.

From a practical, economical and environmental stance, it’s a no-go for me. However, I’d love to test it out.
