The toilet of the future: Kohler has developed a toilet seat with Google and Amazon Alexa support
We can’t believe we’re writing this, but… welcome to the extraordinary world of technological toilet seats! At CES 2024, Kohler plans to introduce its new PureWash E930 model with support for voice assistants – Google and Amazon Alexa. The manufacturer insists that this innovative toilet bowl device will provide you with the highest level of freshness and cleanliness, thanks to its “stylish” (yes – stylish as a toilet bowl – it sounds!) and compact design. And he assures that with it you will forget about ordinary toilet paper and meet the future of personal hygiene with a clear conscience.
This is a seat with a built-in bidet, features of which include:
- Design that fits most wall-hung toilets.
- Compatible with the KOHLER Konnect app, which allows you to customize preferences and profiles via your smartphone.
- Amazon Alexa or Google Home voice control, which allows you to turn on or off the bidet, heat drying and UV toilet bowl functions without contact (this is important!).
- It is available in White and Biscuit colors (from February 2024, a black color scheme is also promised).
The list of features of the gadget is really impressive:
- automatic opening / closing of the lid
- function of automatic cleaning of the toilet bowl with UV light
- convenient remote control with two programmable settings
- automatic spray before use for effective rinsing when flushing
- possibility of front and rear flushing
- adjustable water temperature and pressure
- constant water heating for the comfort of your own ass
- modes of oscillation (pulsation) of water jets
- an additional spray nozzle that automatically switches the rear flushing mode to the highest pressure
- baby mode with gentle rinsing for safe use
- heated seat with adjustable temperature
- thermal drying system with adjustable temperature
- automatic deodorization function to control unpleasant odors
- LED backlighting (gamers will appreciate it), which illuminates the bowl
- energy saving function (we do not forget about the environment and protect the Amazon forests)
- smooth closing of the lid and the possibility of quick detachment, which makes it easy to remove the seat from the toilet for convenient cleaning
And now the main thing is the price: the declared amount of $2,149.00 is almost twice the price of the predecessor model, which is “only” $1,289.40 on the manufacturer’s website. Some people might think that this is too much, but what can you do – a smart home should be smart in everything, even things like toilet seats (where we spend a lot of time in our lives) should be connected to a smartphone. And in general, how can you save on your own safety? After all, we trust this gadget with the most valuable thing we have.
