Heated Loo seat

[75pete]

A bit of a straw-poll to see if people have fitted or have been asked to fit this type.

Stayed at a hotel with this type of seat and it got me thinking. It was very easy to get to like it and could see, once used, that having one would be nice. This seat had a remote control for the functions available and heat settings, quite impressed with it.

How long do you intend to be in there!

 

[75pete]

Haha, I've never used one before, just got me thinking, could it be the next big ask?

 

[bourbon]

Suppose it depends how big the 'ask' is!!

Send the wife in first to warm it up in the morning!

I've got one at home, had it around 3 years. These are very popular in Japan and S. Korea.

Heated loo seat, dear lord next you'll be wanting an inside toilet with heating and soft toilet tissue.

I remember when t'bog were at t'end of t'yard, no lights, no heating and only sheets of newspaper to wipe with.

you were lucky! You had a bog at end of t'yard. WE had hole in the ground!

 

[Newboy]

t'hole in t'ground - luxury!

Having paper and a lid is luxury

I hated a cold seat in the morning when I was a small boy and we did not have central heating.

But now I wonder if it would encourage bacteria growth.

Why would you wonder that? We all know what the optimum temperatures are for bacterial growth hence fridges and freezers.

Edit: for the majority of bacteria. I may have missed some.

We have a Washlette in the ensuite.... Marvelous contraptions. Even blow dries the nether regions afterwards. Not overly fussed about the heated seat functions though.

The dude has started using it now, and the cheeky sod keeps turning the water temperature down to the coolest setting; which is only advisable after a curry. Otherwise it gives you a rude awakening in the morning.

You were first that came into my mind with this. There are cheap copies coming over but never had the pleasure of fitting one let alone a decent one.

Are they more advanced/refined over there and do we get the "last seaons" ones or are they really similar?

The east seems to be so open to tech yet we struggle (well some of us ) to come to terms with changes.

Do you think they would catch on here in "normal" properties rather than the bespoke houses at the minute?
