A Water-Efficient Toilet That’s Just A Bit *Too* Efficient

As I continued browsing the Making Life Easy site, I stumbled across a picture of the low-flow toilet they praise as very usable.

I’m almost certain that this reaction is coming from my US-centric, don’t-like-to-think-about-or-acknowledge-bodily-functions cultural baggage…but does this particular potty make anyone else go “yuck!”?

I mean, I know intellectually that the water going into the toilet tank up top is as clean as the water coming out of a faucet tap, or for that matter, a drinking fountain. But there’s something skeevy about this design that adds up to a negative user experience for me.

I’m sure it’s a me thing…

    Oh, probably not a problem for me. Be nice to see a soap tray or a spot for one in this design; there’s more to washing your hands than simply getting them wet. But it’s sure not the kind of faucet I’m going to occasionally drink out of. :)

    It’s not just you… it made me cringe and made the ‘bleck’ face.
