Kohler Spent $1500 For Me To Take A Bath In Wisconsin

Kohler, WI sits sandwiched between farmland and road houses, slightly west of Sheboygan. It’s deposited in an area once so thick with trees that early white guys had to use Indian trails to get their Manifest Destiny on — before growing tired of all that and chopping everything down for the paper mills.

I’m Sorry, I Can’t Take Your Call. I’m In My Musical Vibrating Bathtub.

I now so very much want to use that line someday. Thanks to Kohler — also home to the $6,400 toilet — if I can borrow about five thousand dollars, I’ll be able to.

I Sat On A $US6400 Toilet And It Changed My Life

Let’s get one thing straight – Kohler’s Numi toilet isn’t for you. Unless you’re a Saudi oil sheik, lottery winner, or generally filthy rich person, you won’t be considering a toilet that costs half a year’s rent. But it’s spectacular.

The Post Where I Turn A Kohler Transitions "Quiet-Close" Toilet Seat Into A Crime Scene

Gizmodo Detective’s Log, 3 April 2011 – The poor schmuck. Wife just couldn’t take it anymore. Seat up, seat down—didn’t matter. Was the loud late-night seat slam that did him in. Shoulda gone with the Kohler.

Kohler Fountainhead Toilet Makes Crapping So Luxurious You Won’t Even Want to Wipe

This Kohler Fountainhead toilet looks so not like a conventional toilet that we’ll probably have second thoughts about putting our asses on it and letting fly. Not only is there a glowing LED mechanism on the back to illuminate your business, but buttons on the lid allows it to automatically open up for #1 or #2. For the eco-maniacs, there’s the 4.8 litre per flush system, saving water and dehydrating sewer crocodiles at the same time. How much would you pay for this? US$3,800? It’s yours in June. It’s the closest thing you’ll get to taking a dump on Ayn Rand’s work without resorting to defecating in the fiction aisle at Barnes and Noble. [Kohler via DVICE]

Kohler Karbon Is Modern Art Awesomeness For The Kitchen

Kohler’s Karbon faucet is not the first to receive a cutting edge design, but it packs that extra wow factor with it’s segmented, cylindrical design. The articulated faucet not only looks like a series of James Bond-esque pistol silencers, but it lets you drag and hold the faucet where you need it. It doesn’t hang limp or shoot back to the base like those with a pullout head.

Sexy Plumber Babe Entices You to Flush Stuff

Meet Jo, a sexy babe masquerading as a plumber at the Kohler website—but we think she’s a sultry little temptress. “Flushing is fun,” she coos. “Pick an item.” I got your item, right here. We’re in love.

Click on an object in the scene, and then she sashays over, picks it up and drops it in the toilet, ready for you to flush. We especially like the way she giggles and asks you to “stop tickling” her when you mouse over her cuteness.

The point of all this? Kohler Class Five technology needs very little water to flush down even the biggest pinched loaves. That fancy toilet still has a hard time with that rubber ducky, though. – Charlie White
