I Sat on a $6,400 Toilet and It Changed My Life
Sam Biddle —
Let's get one thing straight—Kohler's Numi toilet isn't for you. Unless you're a Saudi oil sheik, lottery winner, or generally filthy rich person,
you won't consider a toilet that costs half a year's rent. But it's spectacular.
The Numi sticks every conceivable luxury into one pisser. Things you didn't even think you needed—and things you definitely don't need—
a foot warmer, radio, auxiliary audio input, ambient lights. And all controlled by a touchscreen mini-tablet with a 20 foot range.
Why would you ever need to control your toilet from 20 feet away brings up a series of nightmare scenarios that are hard for me to
express right now, but good to know, just in case.
- Custom Bidet: User can control pressure, temperature and angle.
- Tankless Design: Read: No chains to jiggle!
- Motion Sensor Lid: After 90 seconds of no movement, the toilet will close.
- Seat Warmer: Why should your bottom suffer from a chilly toilet seat?
- Foot Warmer: A vent beneath the bowl blows hot air to warm your feet and the cold tile beneath them.
- Automatic Seat: For male users, a motion sensor is activated by foot and causes the seat to rise and then lower when you're away.
- LED lit back panel: Frosted glass is lit in an energy-efficient way.
- MP3 Hook-up: So you never have to be without your music.
- Remote Control: This touch-screen pad lets the user control all of these features from a wireless control. Should you want to activate the foot warmer in advance.
- A flat white surface designed for easy cleaning: Though we doubt anyone who spends over $6,400 on a toilet is planning to clean it themselves!
Pretty impressive, right? Wait, it gets better. This new toilet uses
he smallest amount of water. It flushes on two settings, 0.6 gallons
and 1.2 gallons. And yes, the Numi knows which one to use when.
The Numi knows everything.

That all sounds nice and all but for one thing I don't spend a lot of time on the shitter and anyone who does should get thier bowels checked.
Second, if a motion sensor closes it up after 90 seconds of no movement, isn't that kind of defeating the purpose of having something that apparently is designed to let you sit there until your intestines fall out your ass?
Wtf. Let those that want to pay 6400 bucks for a goddamned toilet have it. It's fucking stupid.
Sorry.

How many of the 'nice things' that prosperity can provide does a person really use that much? A house full of fine art, a cellar full of wine, a garage full of fine vehicles- how much of it can a person really 'use' every day, most likely several times a day? I would say a state-of-the-art crapper is a pretty shrewd way to spend indulgent money. I'd rather have a used car in the garage and an awesome terlet in the house than just a nice car in the garage.

+1, granted, it would be unthinkable to spend that kind of dough on a toilet right now, but if I had fuck you money it would easily make my list.
And for the record Sisyphus there's a chance you'll spend more time over the course of your life using the can than you'll spend on a motorcycle. Sad but true.

I probably would have scoffed at that thing, but then I went to Japan and experienced a couple of toilets that blew my mind. Heated luminescent seats, warm ass-showers, things you never even knew you wanted. It's like your first time with an older woman.

I've done a photo shoot in the house where that print ad is set.

I'd absolutely get one of those if I was stupid rich! For having everything you could want, it's missing one of the most important things, a turret defense system to guard the bathroom from spiders:
