A bidet is not a toilet. It is more common in Europe and considered a more hygienic way of cleansing. A motion activated toilet that flushes prematurely is simply a malfunctioning device.

??? What's wrong with a bidet?
That piece is not (just) a bidet.

Quote
When the Neorest senses your approach, the toilet lifts its lid, inviting you to have a seat. Once you do your thing, a gentle blast of warm water cleans your bottom. This is followed by the toilet's air-dry function. And after you get up, the toilet flushes the ionized, self-cleaning bowl and deodorizes the air...

The entire thing is operated electronically by sensors.

Eh. I've written them off years ago. Don't even look at any offers from them, or consider any MVNO that uses their network.

Being part of the ddf community for a couple of months, reading dan's ddms trip report, and still feeling hopelessly lost  :(
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

How about people who are stuck at the checkout counter searching through their stack of Credit Cards to find the right one for the current spend (myself being guilty of that).
