Would you pay almost $4000 for a toilet?
$5000 list price. Your Price $3,750.00
TOTO USA’s NEOREST Integrated Toilet packs the maximum number of technological advances into a minimum amount of space. The first "aware" toilet, smart-sensor design innovations abound. NEOREST's lid automatically opens whenever an individual approaches it. When the individual rises, NEOREST’s lid automatically closes, and the unit automatically flushes. NEOREST automatically conserves water by flushing at 1.2 gallons per flush for liquid waste when its sensor is activated by men standing in front of bowl.
And that's not all...
Operated by wireless remote, NEOREST's integrated Washlet seat's multi-task functions provide gentle front-and back-aerated warm water spray, which can be regulated for preferred water pressure and temperature. Other features include oscillating spray massage, heated seat, automatic catalytic air deodorizer, and warm air dryer -- all of which are governed by its "Fuzzy Logic" energy-saving mode. Upon installation, NEOREST records usage frequency, then re-educates itself weekly. During times when it remembers infrequent use, NEOREST goes into sleep mode.
Ya just gotta see it before you decide for sure: http://www.performancetoilets.com/in...on=Custom&ID=7

I've been through Tokyo/Narita Airport three times in recent years, and I was hoping to try out a high tech toilet, but they didn't have any. One concern that comes to my mind with these things is whether it would tend to wash waste material onto more places on your person instead of just washing it away.

They say the bathroom is the king's palace and the toliet is his throne. I know my grandpa use to do something called "camping". Basically, he would take the newspaper, a tv, and a few beers and stay in there for hours at a time reading the newspaper or watching tv while on the pot. If your somebody like this a $4,000 toliet is defiantly something you need.

I suppose a heated seat could come in handy durring the winter months.. but I'd have to seriously consider dropping that kind of cash on a toilet.. unless of course it could guarantee to never overflow and clean itself. Of course, it'd be great if it could use those sensors to stay closed if a child approached it. For those of you who have kids and have tried to "secure" a bathroom before, you know where I'm coming from on that one.

In the US, (not sure about anywhere else), the toilet is generally in the same room as the bathtub. Unless it's a "half-bath" and then it's usually just a toilet and a sink. When you buy a home, and it has 2.5 bathrooms.. you're getting three toilets, and two bathtubs..etc.
The bathroom is also often refered to as the "restroom", or the "washroom", depending on who you're talking to.

The newer houses in my area seem to have sinks seperated from the bathtub/shower and toilet. The sinks, mirror, etc are in one room then it has another room that holds the toilet and shower.••If one picture is worth a thousand words, what is the value of an entire movie?••

That's why more and more you'll see homes with multiple bathrooms. I have 3 myself, although I'm not sure what the inside of one of them looks like, since I can't recall the last time I used it. It's mostly for company.

Going back to my original question about calling a toilet a bathroom, I have seen in movies when people are in cafe's or restaurants they still say bathroom, surely cafe's wouldn't be fitting baths in the toilet for the general public.

I'm sure it's a regional preference. Just like the whole soda vs pop thing.... unless you're in Texas, and then everything is a Coke.

I wouldn't pay much for one. I would save my money for other things.

As well as "ensuites" we usually have a regular Bathroom, where visitors etc wash there hands or if the occasion arises take a shower or bath. We also have a small room which is accessable from the passage. This room only has a tiolet in it, nothing else. It is usually only about 3ft wide by about 6ft long.

It's a convinience thing I think, really. Have to take a pee before you shower? You got the toilet somewhere in the same room.

For $4000, I would have at least expected WiFi connectivity.

Shower = 0.25
Bath = 0.25
I have 1 full bathroom, two 3/4 bathrooms, and one 1/2 bathroom.

Why does it matter what you call the room? As long as the person you are talking to knows what you are talking about you are doing just fine.
Someone mentioned earlier it's just a regional thing, like whether you say pop or soda. No biggie.
