Need to give a gift to the family who has everything? How about a toilet that does just about everything except wipe your behind.
From jsonline: It does everything but wipe you.
A lid that opens automatically as you approach? Check.
Pulsating /oscillating bidet with integrated air dryer? Naturally.
Adjustable-height, heated seat? But of course.
Charcoal-filter deodorizer? Must you even ask?
Hailing it as "a figment of beauty and geometry" that offers "the ultimate flushing experience," Kohler Co. is preparing to hit the market with its latest toilet, a piece of minimalist design and high tech it calls the Numi.
It's been four years in the making and can be yours for just $6,390. Installation is extra, but if you're handy and are watching your budget, you can always tackle that job yourself.
"It is our most advanced toilet," product manager Mike Marbach said. "At Kohler Co., we are always trying to be on the leading edge, and this product is really a blend of leading-edge technology and leading-edge design, and not sacrificing one for the other."
Little, if anything, appears to have been sacrificed with the Numi.
It senses your presence, raising its lid in salute and, if you like, welcoming you with the sound of rushing water and soothing piano music.
After dark, a night light in the bidet wand guides your path to the Numi's heated seat. Warm air from a floor-level vent keeps your feet toasty. If you plan on staying awhile, plug in your iPod or listen to the built-in FM radio.
When it's time to flush, the Numi is all business. Depending on how long you've been sitting, it will select a 0.6-gallon or 1.28-gallon flow.

Hell of a way to impress your boss or just to have at home. Hell, the toilet is worth more than some houses in Detroit.
But in in Vegas, the heater would be ok in the winter, but in the summer, how about air conditioning on the seat.
