As women who love to be pampered top to — er — bottom, Jane Jetson and daughter Judy would be flushed with excitement at the thought of renovating their bathroom with the latest high-tech toilets.
These “gee-whiz” toilet features would fit right in at the Jetsons’ pad. Their advanced designs give fresh meaning to the term “comfort station.”
Prices range from $400 to over $1,000.
Posh Potty Particulars
Many of the fancy features come built into the seat itself:
Uplifting moments. A motion detector senses when you approach to quietly raise the lid and lower it when you step away.
Bun warmer. If you’ve ever received an icy reception from a toilet seat, you’ll love the toasty welcome from a seat with a built-in warmer.
Paper-free society. Sprays and fountains offer adjustable pressures and pulsations to provide comfortable (and thorough!) cleanup, front and back.
Fanny fan. No need to drip dry. Turn on the fan to generate a breeze for your backside.
Glowing reports. LED lighting sets the seat or bowl interior aglow as a handy nightlight.
Scent-sational. A built-in automatic deodorizer keeps the bathroom fresh and clean smelling.
No-touch flush. Sensors flush the toilet automatically when the time is right.
Clean living. High pressure flushing technology, rimless designs, and space-age materials make these futuristic toilets ultra-hygienic and virtually self-cleaning.
