You laugh, but TOTO is a hugely successful corporation that's spent millions on toilet R&D. If this bathroom doesn't fall into "object of day to day use made into a cherished item" I don't know what does: http://www.totousa.com/Neorest/NeorestSuite.aspx http://www.totousa.com/Neorest/NeorestSuite.aspx
- wgx 15y agoSwiss rival Geberit also make a badass robot toilet [1], and they invest huge amounts in everything from software to water-flow acoustics in the home.

- bfe 15y agoI remember predictions written in the 1990's of toilets that would automatically provide early screening for cancer. How much of their millions in R&D goes toward that?
- mturmon 15y agoEven TOTO's bare-bones low-volume-flush toilets are remarkably effective and well-designed. I replaced some very expensive Kohlers with TOTOs and was impressed.
- krobertson 15y agoNearly shit myself when I saw the price tag on some of those! Looks nice, but damn. A $250 thermostat is fairly reasonable, but a $5k toilet is way outside the WAF (Wife Approval Factor).
