Hi-Tech Toilet Uses Remote Control

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

This seat will keep you warm during those long Nintendo DS sessions.

Now that you have that shiny new iPad in your hands, you'll need a better place to "read the news." Hand-held gamers who enjoy personal quiet time may also enjoy the Giovannoni Washlet, a hi-tech toliet suited for the gadget lover in all of us. Packed with its own stand-alone remote control, this thing can clean itself and take care of business with its "tornado flush" and triple-jet, rimless flushing system. Consumers can even back up the entire process with a nice, built-in deodorizer.

But it gets better. With the remote control, users can turn on the heated seat, perfect for cold nights and long spells with the DS, PSP, or smartphone, keeping the blood pumping down into those dangling legs. What this high-tech toilet doesn't provide are USB ports for device charging, a built-in stereo, or an Ethernet port for wired devices. But hey, the remote stand also serves as the toilet roll holder... now that's classy.

Thanks Designboom.

"the remote stand also serves as the toilet roll holder"

ugh.... this Hi-Tech "seat" does not come with the "warm water jet" and "air dryer" for cleaning our private/delicate area?

That should make this even more Hi-Tech (though the idea is not new anymore).

I would hate to imagine the Fraternity and Sorority pranks that would occur if these toilets were installed in Colleges.

A bit of hardware tampering, then a bit of hacking and Voila!

Instant Pranking of the kind that would Hit the 6:00 News :)

Remote control huh? Too bad you can't take your crapper remotely...

The question I have is how well does the toilet do the ONE job a toilet absolutely needs to do? All of these extra features are nice and all, but if it's like just about every toilet made since the mid-1990s (when the EPA mandated the low-flush, aka the "flush it six times to try get it all down, then grab the plunger because it's clogged" toilets), it works about as well as Microsoft Works.

When there's a new toilet you can legally buy in this country that can successfully deal with the aftermath of eating Taco Bell at 2 am, put THAT on the front page because that would be a technological feat of massive proportions.

Look up the Toto Washlet. Has the water jet, dryer and everything else that this one does, been around at least 6 years. I have one at home and it is better than a gold toilet seat.

This is old technology in Japan. What is so surprising about it???

Back in the late 1990's I spent 3 years in Japan. When I saw the headline Toto was the first thing I thought of.

I always thought that Toto toilets lived to flush....If I ever need to replace any here, that will be my first choice.

That Giovannoni Washlet will take care of many a Crysis.

This toilet needs something to clean your arse so you don't need to use toilet paper. And all toilet seats should be heated by now.

Exactly. Call me when you can use the toilet remotely. Now that would be progress.

I've been using a very similar toilet seat for the last 2 years. Remote, flushing, deodorizer, warm seat, showers, etc. Though, to be fair, they are common enough to even be in public bathrooms here in Japan...

Love this thing.
Have one of this (UCI)for about 3 years.
My wife made me to buy one, best crupper ever.

I don´t care what they say, if you don´t clean the toilet at least once a month, you´ll get your very own personnalized mushroom farm. And no, the shrooms are not the kind that make you giddy and see rainbows.

You can use the toilet remotely already- get a Foley catheter and a rectal tube put in by a nurse or doctor. Then you can "go" at will and empty the collecting pouches in the toilet whenever it is convenient. I wouldn't recommend it, but it's certainly possible.
