Let's Lift The Lid And See What A $5,000 Toilet Gets You!

<snip>

It's the perfect gift for people who have everything. Something practical they'll use every day and that you can be sure they don't have. It is a gift that will keeps on giving. Or more accurately, receiving.

It's the Neorest toilet from Toto, the latest in high-end for the rear end.

And unlike a cheap laptop or the latest video game console, there's no worry about finding them in stock. The Neorest, despite its awesome flushing capacity, isn't moving much here in Arizona. advertisement




It should be an easy sell in gadget-happy America. The toilet is state-of-the-art: sleek, compact and automated. It has a remote control. It does everything but - well, actually it does that, too.

But only one store had it on display last week: the Central Arizona Supply showroom in north Scottsdale. Where else?

"I didn't see it," said Stephanie Morse, who was standing before the showroom's display of lesser, standard toilets. When told about the Neorest, she seemed impressed. Until the price.

"I couldn't see spending $5,000 on a toilet," she said. "But the heated seat would be nice. I'm from New Jersey."

The price is startling. The company's online store lists it at $4,680 for standard cotton or colonial white. Getting the Neorest in Sedona beige brings the tag to $5,382.

But for that price, the Neorest promises to turn the mundane evacuation process into an experience.

Approach it, and the lid lifts up. Stand in front of it a few more seconds, and the seat rises. The Neorest automatically flushes and lowers the lid upon completion.

That could end marital disputes about the position of the seat. Although it could make the "Honey, where's the remote?" question a little more urgent.

I'm giving those as stocking stuffers this year!

We have big stockings at my house! :P

with warm water and then there's a dry cycle.

thats more than I hoped for.

They're quite the rage in Japan. The fanciest toilet I ever saw was in a traditional Japanese inn. It had a control panel worthy of the Space Shuttle neatly labeled in Japanese. Word of warning--never press a button on a Japanese toilet unless you're sure you know what it does. Among other things, this toilet provided a heated seat, air freshener, and mood lighting.

:rofl:

n/t

to say never to press a button on ANY toilet unless you're sure you know what it does.

for a living.Buy them up.The Bold look of Kohler.

but we haven't sold one of those yet.

we have sold plenty of jasmine bidet seats though - the seat warmer is nice in the winter, and the remote control is ranged, so it is great for pranks.

That's the number one reason NOT to get one... that's ME time, not prank time.

Let's say I'd love to use a toilet to play pranks on others, but I personally would be less-than-happy about pranks in return.

I'm a hypocrite that way. :D

The first Toto toilet I saw in Japan, I said "Well, I guess we're not in Kansas any more."
;-)

But I still don't think you meant

Then it retracts, and the seat blow dries you.

Actually, it is very hygenic. When I was going through Chemo, the doctors forbade me to use paper as there are no sanitary standards in the production. If you get something from the paper, it can kill you. You have no immune system.

spare me the remote control. Water spray and air dry, heated seat (and rising seat optional for the handicapped), all good. We can do it for less. Lets build one.

Bidets are not drinking fountains for short people.
