I like it. But I'm gonna stick with my custom wall mounted toiled with a stick shift flush lever and high mounted tank.
Richard is sounding tired.
Forget all that. When are we going to get toilets that clean themselves?
the only thing it doesn't do is Wifi.
Toilets like this have been in Japanese and Korean households for a decade.
still wont wipe my butt
You need a plumber and electrician for that installation.
you know what i dont get is why isnt the biday at the end of it all is it not cleaner?. Love you guyes been watching for over 30 years and now on you tube
Once you go bidet, you will never go back. Refreshing. You will use less TP. Spray runs on existing water pressure. Not much electricity usage if you don't warm seat and water. Got one at Costco few years ago.
