[VIDEO]What Can a $6,400 Toilet Do for You?

Is the world ready for the Kohler Numi, a super-luxurious toilet with its own on-board foot warmer, a built-in music system, a heated seat that automatically goes up and down and a special bidet attachment, all controlled by a touchscreen with a 20-foot range?

Ready or not, Kohler Numi is now available for $6,400, and if you’re into high-tech design and desire a level of decadence unforeseen until now, this device might be for you.

Like most high-end toilets from Toto — such as the high-end NeoRest that costs around $4,000 — and others, there is a bidet function in the Numi, using a retractable wand-like device to spray you in just the right places, and its temperature, power and aim are all easily adjusted with that touchscreen remote. When the spraying is done, there’s a fan that blows warm air to dry you off.

To entertain you in the meantime, there’s a built-in music system with FM radio and auxiliary input, so yes, you could conceivably plug your iPhone into this toilet. Too bad there’s no Bluetooth capability, but those well-heeled enough to have such a toilet could build that into their bathrooms separately.

Take a look at Gizmodo’s video if you’d like to see the Numi’s robotic seat in action, triggered by a motion detector so that your hands won’t have to touch anything toilet-related. Just think, this could be the end of toilet seat up/down arguments.
