So few toilets make a user feel like royalty. But Kohler’s new Numi seems to answer your every need. “It senses your presence” as you approach it, “raising its lid in salute and, if you like, welcoming you with the sound of soothing piano music.” A charcoal-filter deodorizer guards your nostrils, and Kohler’s “most advanced” toilet yet even calculates how much water is required for each flush based upon the amount of time it has been occupied. But with a foot-warming heat vent, an iPod docking station, and an oscillating bidet with integrated air dryer, who would ever want to stand up?
