Five Products That Caught Our Eye at IBS

Kohler’s Numi toilets : For a cool $6,400, you can have a toilet that sings to you, warms your legs, washes your underside with multiple streams of water, and remembers your favorite settings for when you return. The Numi was introduced by Kohler last year as the companies “most advanced” commode. Other models made by Kohler range from $150 to about $1,000, but the Numi, which the company says was influenced by high-tech toilets from Asia, comes with a steep price tag because of all the bells and whistles. In addition to an iPod-ready stereo system (sound comes off speakers on the rear of the toilet), leg-warming porcelain, ground lighting and multiple bidet settings, the Numi is designed so that you never have to touch it. Instead, motion sensors and a remote control open its top, prepare a comfortable seat and flush it for you. It’s the singing, warming robot toilet you never knew you needed. (Oh, and there’s this  sexy ad campaign , shot in Los Angeles last year.)
