What is the next logical toilet model for Toto? After one has invented a toilet that welcomes you by lifting it¡¯s lid automatically when you walk into the bathroom, cuddles you with a heated toilet seat, washes and dries your bum after you¡¯ve done the dirty deed, disinfects the toilet, then automatically flushes and closes the lid ¡ª what next? What more would you want from a toilet? Nothing, I hope.

Toto Washlets already do waaaay too much, if you ask me. You know that sensor technology used to automatically flush the toilet after you¡¯ve stood up? How can you be sure it¡¯s a sensor and not someone watching you?

Besides, I¡¯ve heard people complain that these sensors are so sensitive that a slight shift in weight on the toilet seat can prompt an automatic flush. Pre-flushing is not good. Not only do you have to wait out the horror of the basin of water sucking itself down with Toto¡¯s ¡°double cyclone¡± technology while splattering your behind with mists of toilet water, but there is another problem ¡ª pre-flushing doesn¡¯t allow you to do a feces inspection.
