10 home gadgets that take tech too far?

I know a rich chick who has a touch screen controlled shower, I punched in 99 degrees and my shower was perfect. Yeah it might have cost her like 20k but it's uber bad ass. This sink version is nowhere near as cool but I'd still probably want one.

$20k is way too much for that. A PID controller, programming and mixing /tempering valve would not cost more than a grand. And that could handle 20+ gpm so it could be a full body shower. :biggrin:

You pay for technology, especially when it's a popular brand and an item that's not in demand at all. Her toilet paper roll holder was like $600 and all it is is a piece of metal. Compared to that her shower head/touch screen combo was a pretty good deal Toto's high end shit's outrageously expensive

LOL for that kind of money one can have an automated bidet with an IR thermometer taking the temperature of your hind part for best comfort. Much cleaner than toilet paper. D:

this. I wish built-in bidets were standard over here.

Me too. Maybe I just buy cheap toilet paper, but that shit chafes my butthole.

Even the double ply Charmen sucks compared to a bidet. I've only used one once but the warm water + heated air to dry me off was heavenly. It was the 1st time taking a crap was a memorable experience. lol. I was all ready to buy one until Froogle told me it was $1600 for the model he had. After seeing that I sadly went to the store and bought some more Charmen. They must be a lot cheaper in the UK and Japan because they seem to be pretty common over there. I can't find one for a good price in the US though.

DAMN I just watched the video they have on it, it looks the same as the one I used minus the wireless remote (stupid) and it's about a 1/4th of the price. If this is as good as it seems I think I'ma have to save up for one now. Toto must be able to charge so much just because people know the name.

Japan is pretty far from Kansas. :biggrin:
