Walt Mossberg tests out a truly high-tech toilet. How lazy does one have to be?

For example, push the “For Her” front button and a pink wand releases a gentle spray. Each wand is rinsed before you use it, and after you arise from the seat, whether or not you used it.

Using the remote, you can adjust the force and temperature of the water, and the temperature of the heated seat. You must manually decide when to stop the water or air.

We found that the heated seat, which can be set to automatically turn off or on at certain times of the day, was a great feature. And the warm water — once we got the temperature right — was also a luxurious twist on the normal bathroom experience.

Seriously – is this necessary? Temporary free link. I can almost hear the crotchety conversations now in 2025 – “When I was a kid, we had to wipe ourselves! Not some confounded machine!”
