SHEBOYGAN FALLS, Wisconsin - A new luxury lavatory is bringing flushing into the future.
"Numi" is either going to revolutionize the way we do business, or have you sending $6400 dollars down the drain.
Motion sensors on Kohler's new super toilet Numi will detect you as you enter the room, automatically lifting the lid.
And for the guys, a floor sensor will also raise the toilet seat (in case you forget).
In addition to a built-in personalized bidet, heated seat and deodorizer, Numi also comes with a remote control.
"We wanted this product to be very simple for someone despite all the technology that it has," Mike Marback, the system's product manager said. "We want to make toilets that give people choices."
Numi's flushing sound will be half the noise of a standard toilet.
You can also play an FM radio or music from your mp3 player on it.
If you're having cold feet about dropping $6400 on Numi, the toilet features a foot warmer.
