Your grandparents thought it was cool when they came out with fuzzy toilet seat covers. YOU thought it was cool when someone had a telephone (rotary dial, of course) in the bathroom next to the toilet. Well, now there is the new “smart toilet” from the Kohler Company, which just so happens to be in Wisconsin. It has a sound system, auto lid and FOOT WARMER. If you have the money to spend....

The art of seeking the very best that life has to offer is reaching new heights this spring. Kohler Co. – a global leader in kitchen and bath design and technology – has upped the ante of maintaining a sophisticated lifestyle with the debut of the KOHLER Numi toilet with bidet functionality. With Numi’s standards of excellence and performance, high levels of personal technology and forward-looking design, this WaterSense and CALGreen-certified “smart toilet” is truly the ultimate flushing experience.

The company’s newest bathroom product brims with luxurious features:

• A sleek, interactive LCD touch-screen interface

• Built-in personalized bidet functionality and deodorizer

• Innovative dual-flush technology with .6 and 1.28 gallons per flush

• Intuitive auto-open and -close lid

• Built-in music system

• Heated seat and foot warmer

• Unmatched comfort features

A distinctive, pared-down vision blended with personal technology will impress the most technologically-savvy user while the interface provides an easy-to-use experience for just about any member of the family.

“It’s truly an innovative product that makes a bold design statement,” says Jim Lewis, Kohler’s Vice President of Marketing. “We envisioned a toilet that creates a category in a caliber of its own. Numi packs technology into a compact toilet and is controlled by an advanced and intuitive interface. It’s an astounding example of modern industrial design where form and function go hand in hand.”

Founded in 1873 and headquartered in Kohler, Wis., Kohler Co. is one of America’s oldest and largest privately held companies. Kohler is a global leader in the manufacture of kitchen and bath products, engines and power generation systems, tile and home interiors, and an international host to award-winning hospitality and world-class golf destinations.

This toilet will end the age old fight between genders, whether the toilet seat should be left up OR down!
