I could see the appeal in the first winter I spent in my current home, whenever I used the downstairs loo (no radiator, two outside walls, 2 walls to unheated inside spaces, and an uninsulated roof) But as a general rule it doesn't appeal to me personally.SallyDucati said:
Heated loo seat? No thanks, don't like that idea.[Deleted User] said:
The waste water, they don't self clean very well, no heated seat for the winter, no washlet... We are stuck in the 19th century.Sunsaru said:
Two flushes is too many right??[Deleted User] said:I just want one that works well, which excludes pretty much all the ones available in the UK
All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)0 -
It's not hot, just not freezing cold.
Washlet is the main thing. If you got that on any other part of your body you wouldn't wipe it off with a tissue and call it a day.0 -
They aren't rubbish. In recent times a certain amount of prejudice has built up about coloured bathroom suites, but it's misguided. The coloured stuff is much better built than anything you can buy on the mass market today. They used thicker ceramic in those days and heavier weight fittings. The fact that so much remains in existence today is testament to the quality.[Deleted User] said:
Who would pay £640 for a cheap, rubbish toilet that looks like it's made of yellowed plastic that's been left in the sun for too long?hjd said:
For that kind of money I'd expect at least a decent toilet, even if I didn't agree with the colour scheme. It looks like the kind of thing you find in public conveniences.

It's not the colour, it's that it's basically the same as toilets from over 100 years ago.Ditzy_Mitzy said:

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. They have been making toilets in the same way for over 100 years because they work.[Deleted User] said:

And actually it is broken. The standard design wastes a lot of water. The low flow ones leak and waste water, and don't clear very well.0 -
