That horizontal surface around the seat is going to accumulate a disgusting amount of splashback pee in short order. Of course, if you're spending $4k on a toilet, you likely have someone around to clean it every day or two, so carry on.

It is beautiful though.

Don't know what all the fuss is about for this johnny-come-lately.

excuse my ignorance, but what does taking a crap have to do with Ayn Rand?

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> @Mandatory_Field:
Japan may make revolutionary toilets, that fill even the toilet needs you never knew you had.... but do they use these toilets?

Japan has a lot of hole in the ground toilets that you have to squat over... the slightest breeze will probably knock you over into your own crap. It's a good thing these type of toilets are in subways then... no wind :c /

Maybe they've upgraded... I don't know.

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> @Mandatory_Field: Well, perhaps they come from Japan, but do they actually use them their selves? It's been a good ten years since I've been there but when I was they truly where little holes in the ground that you had to crouch over. If only they went through the toilet revolution 15 years ago.

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> If I had $3,800 to burn, and wanted to take a luxurious crap, I'd fly out to Hawaii and rent a luxury hotel there, complete with a 2000 sf bathroom with an ocean view. That's money much better spent than an overpriced john.

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> @shamoononon: That's funny: It seems as if the fanciest and most technologically endowed toilets come from Japan. Maybe the holes in the ground spring from a yearning for the one-ness (and two-ness) of simplicity?

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> @seatown88: Wait, last time i was in Japan their toilets where holes in the ground. WTF did they start making comfortable toilets for those of us that don't feel like doing yoga and poopin at the same time?

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> @DaOtter: BTW, (and sorry Jason Chen if this kills the buzz, but) Gann is right. I'm a totally lefty communitarian believer in the welfare state, and grassroots organizing and empowerment and unions bordering on democratic socialist, and even I think there is some real brilliance in her books (even if she's not exactly the greatest writer ever.)

Anthem is a short, succinct, good read. Plus then no one will ever be able to say "How would you know, you've never even read Ayn Rand?" It's hard to disagree persuasively if you have no knowledge of what you find disagreeable.

A little subtler; not quite as "in your face" so to speak.

Skorpius: I don't know about communism, but they have a definite affinity for socialism.

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> "For the eco-maniacs, there's the 1.28 gallon per flush system, saving water..."

HA! Ever had one of those damn things? It takes at least three times as much water, on average, as half the time one flush isn't enough at 1.28 gallons and you have to go back for more! When I was working construction, homeowners would pay a boatload for us to drive to Canada and 'bootleg' a 'real' toilet that flushes properly.

And yes, that is a good enough reason for me.

DaOtter

Skorpius

]]> <![CDATA[Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won't Even Want to Wipe]]> Yes, but it doesn't have the fun of dropping a steamy one in Barnes and Noble. It lacks the paper scratchiness of wiping, security guard chase, and the ultimate conspiracy to drop a deuce in a public place charges.
