Water saving. We are on such tight water restriction that we barely flush anymore. That might be a good thing.

I've used traditional toilets that were 50-75-100 years old. This seems too complicated to last for decades.

I was really hoping for an explanation of the three sea shells in this thread. :)

What about when it gets stopped up? You won't know until the next time you go to pull it down.

One of those things that looks cool. Seems too complicated to be practical.

Cool, so someone spent thousands of dollars to design a toilet that folds.

It would take some time to get used to that. I can see bad things happening in the middle of the night when nature calls...

My first thought was "Murphy bed for the bathroom." My second thought was it looks like the bowl outlet doesn't line up with the drain unless it's closed. If you thought clearing a clog was difficult now, just wait.
