Any toilet that uses electricity is not ecofriendly in any way, shape or form. Has anyone coined the phrase “conspicuous eco-consumption” yet? This most certainly falls into that category.

His aim for eco-friendliness is just a little off on this pricey toilet. And, besides, 1.6 gpf – that’s so yesterday. He’s a bit behind the times. There are about 100 high efficiency models, which use only 1.28 gallons perr flush, already on the market. Even his governor is ahead with his recent legislation mandating 1.28 gpf models. Leo should have purchased a Caroma dual flush model with a little flush and a big flush option. Use only what you need. Isn’t that a key mantra of the eco-movement?

A toilet for that much should be able to do more than just lift the lid when you approach, like helping men to aim straight, cleaning itself, and other things I probably can’t mention here…

For an eighth of what he paid, Lenny could have bought from the same manufacturer a toilet that would have used less water. Some pretty price he’s shelled out to get a tush-warmer! Oh! You don’t suppose Toto gave it to him for the buzz…

It is a dual-flush toilet. Push one button for small flush, another for big flush.

The seat warmer has an energy save feature or can be shut off completely.

Before you go and judge why don’t you look where this toilet originated, in Japan, where there is no central heating. Before you go judging why don’t you spend a winter in a near-frozen home, b/c that’s the way you spend your winters in Japan. One luxury, like a heated seat, helps to offset that it is really really cold during the day and at night in a home in Japan. Point your fingers elsewhere, esp. Americans that sleep with the temperature in the high 50s and 60s in their homes. Ugh.
