Why'd you stop at the random colors and capital letters?? You could have packed at least 30 different fonts into that space.

This is also a humanitarian crisis similar to the holocaust.

I don't want to stand that close to the turd receptacle when washing my hands. It feels germy. However I DO want one of those butt-spraying, blow-drying Japanese toilets!

This is in theory a neat thing. As others have said there are some stigmas to overcome about washing hands in the toilet- but originally this design was to save space in small Japanese homes with the water savings a bonus. Water in excess what the tank can hold or what is used to flush is still wasted however. But there are practical considerations that much like compost toilets (another water saving “miracle” which isn’t a magic solution-) these have some potential draw backs that mean they aren’t for every application.

Consider this- there are many general differences between cultures. Using America as an example- Takata is a Japanese seat belt maker. Late 90’s early 2000’s they had a crazy high warranty failure rate but only in America. They sent engineers to investigate. What they found was the American seatbelts had particulates in the mesh weave causing failure. The Japanese didn’t tend to eat in their cars the way Americans did and didn’t have the levels of contaminants on their clothes and hands that Americans did on average. These cultural differences caused higher product failure rates. The first Toyota sold in America couldn’t make it out of LA on its nation wide road trip because it lacked the power to make it over the hills out of LA. Japan didn’t have the types of long straight graded roads we do so cars weren’t designed for American freeways.

With these sink toilets- the water that goes down the sink flushes the toilet. So things like toothpaste, mouthwash, chunks of food, soaps, grease or dirt if you’re hands are very dirty, and so on- will all sit and collect in your toilet tank, and be pushed through the toilet when you flush. Things like soap that leaves scummy residue or other particulates can clog the plumbing, and however long you go between flushes is how long whatever you put in the sink will stew in your bathroom.

On the whole- the Japanese don’t use many products Americans do, tend to be more fastidious and often have dedicated methods for different types of cleaning or activity such as heavy soil from manual labor. Japanese toilets also tend not to move the volume of waste American toilets can- and if you’re already having trouble getting a complete cycle in one flush from a lo flo- your bedeviled bowels may laugh at the futility of this waif here.

Think of it like a real wood butcher block or like flat sheen wall paint etc. if you’re the type of person who knows you’ll exercise care with your home and that all in your home will as well- if you know you’ll be mindful of the particular needs of use and those in your home will- this could work for you. But if you just want something you never have to think about and is easy to care for and will take whatever you throw at it and make it go away- this might not be for you.
