From little miniature running streams that you can stand over (in an actual stall), to heated and remote control toilettes, Japan has got it goin on. "better out than in I always say!" Shreck

]]> <![CDATA[Toshiba Makes Freudian Slip, Markets Crap]]> @GizFanAlpha: You can. As M3WTHR33 points out, Toto has been selling these in the states for years. I recently installed them in my house while doing bathroom remodeling - they are great. The only real issue for older American homes is that there is seldom (for safety reasons, obviously) a truly convenient GFI outlet right at the toilet - which you need in order to plug it in. Since I did this part of the remodel "last", I did not want to go back and cut up walls to add an outlet so I was able to run a long flat extension from the sink area behind everything to the toilet - it's virtually unnoticeable.

When I remodel the downstairs bath, I'm going to do the same (but I'll have to run a real outlet in that bathroom because of the layout).

BTW, did I mention these things are great? My wife and daughter really love it.

I haven't had the guts to try the whole washing the underside thing though. I think I'm afraid of things not getting dried properly - and I don't like walking around with wet undies.

I don't get it. What was the Freudian slip?

]]> <![CDATA[Toshiba Makes Freudian Slip, Markets Crap]]> @M3wThr33: I think the new part of this is the instantaneous water heating and the seat design, not just the fact that it's heated and has a remote.

]]> <![CDATA[Toshiba Makes Freudian Slip, Markets Crap]]> These aren't new. My parents have had one in their bathroom for years, from Toto. Remote control, heated set, everything.

We're in California.

]]> <![CDATA[Toshiba Makes Freudian Slip, Markets Crap]]> I've got an environmentally friendly toilet too. It doesn't heat the seat, so no electricity at all.

But, us Canadians cancel that out by using toilets that use a massive amount of water to flush down the poop.

]]> <![CDATA[Toshiba Makes Freudian Slip, Markets Crap]]> These are prevalent everywhere in Japan. They have an obsession with keeping their privates extremely clean by way of bidet spraying, and the like.

Nice, eh?
