As I stepped into our company restroom today, a newcomer greeted me within my stall:
For years I’ve heard about them, and today was my day to get to experience it “firsthand”.
I remember my friend Ben Keane telling a joke in 5th or 6th grade about a guy who snuck into the girls room in Japan and the toilet seat with 3 buttons and it automatically washed and dried your backside.
Well this one’s got 15 buttons!!! Check this bad boy out:
- STOP. Very important
- WASH. Key feature. Going nowhere without this one.
- BIDET. The only button I didn’t have the courage to try.
- DRY. Delivers as promised.
- NOZZLE CLEAN. I guess the nozzle gets dirty from time to time. This extends the nozzle without turning any water on.
- ECONOMY. I think this turns off all heating functions. Only for cheapskates. If you can’t afford to have your magic toilet use warm air and water, what’s the point?
- WATER TEMP. Lets you adjust the temperature of the water.
- AIR. Lets you adjust the air temperature. I recommend “M”
- SEAT. This lets you pre-warm the toilet seat itself. These things are popular in Japan, and I’ve heard they have several cold-toilet-seat related deaths each year.
- MASSAGE ON/OFF. I’ll admit this was the first button I pressed. Maybe it shakes the seat to keep you comfortable while you sit? No such luck. It pulsates the water if you prefer. Just a gimmick if you ask me.
- MOVE ON/OFF. Didn’t figure this one out yet. Does it move the nozzle head to improve your massage? This may require further investigation.
- PRESSURE – HI. Adjusts water and air pressure. Honestly, highest water pressure was a little disappointing.
- PRESSURE – LOW. See above
- NOZZLE – FORWARD. Moves nozzle forward to help get that perfect trajectory.
- NOZZLE – BACKWARD. In case you overshot the perfect trajectory while pressing #14 lets you re-adjust backwards.
In all, I think we’re going to have a wonderful relationship, Mr. Super Toilet! But, please don’t electrocute me…

Any guess at how much that baby goes for (just in case I get the urge to get some bathroom bling)?
