An intelligent toilet is currently on display at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. With a $9,800 price tag, it offers several features including the ability to self-clean with every flush. It also opens when the user approaches it and cleans the user with an aerated wand, which delivers warm water and warm air “from a seated position.”

 

To date, more than 40 million early versions of the Neorest toilets have been sold.

 

The toilet uses a combination of a disinfectant and a glaze that coats the bowl.

 

Toto spokeswoman Lenora Campos, said: "Once it flushes it sprays the interior of the bowl with electrolysed water," 

 

"This bleaches the interior, killing anything in the bowl," 

 

The toilet is super-hydrophilic so nothing can stick to it. It is also photocatalytic, enabling oxygen ions to break down bacteria and viruses.

 

"You don't have to clean the toilet bowl for over a year," said Ms Campos.
