Some companies bring ai-powered monitors, TVs or laptops to CES. Others come with a toilet seat that you can talk to. Appliance company Kohler, founded 151 years ago, will introduce the PureWash E930 bidet seat in Las Vegas next week. The accessory fits most elongated toilets, transforming your silly can into a smart toilet powered by Alexa or Google Assistant.
Kohler says the PureWash E930 bidet seat “gives you the freshness of personal cleansing in a slim, low-profile design.” At $2,149, it's not cheap, but it could save you money (and installation problems) compared to full smart toilets. (Kohler has models in the $8,000 to $10,000 range.)
The PureWash E930 opens and closes its lid hands-free when it detects motion. It has a self-cleaning mode, using its built-in UV light. With Alexa or Google Home, you can control the smart seat hands-free (no small luxury with bathroom equipment). Amazon and Google voice assistants can activate the bidet sprayer, hot air dryer, and UV cleaning on command.
The accessory, which supports front and rear wash modes, has a heated seat and a remote control with two programmable presets. The bidet automatically sprays the toilet bowl before use “for more effective rinsing when flushing.” Its water temperature and pressure are adjustable, and you can choose between oscillating or pulsating jets.
A boost spray mode (rear only) will automatically increase the maximum rear quarter hose pressure. There is also a children's mode, which provides a “gentle and delicate wash” for the little ones. When it's time to dry, it includes a hot air system with adjustable temperature settings.
The seat has LED lighting to turn your toilet into a night light. It even includes Kohler's “Quiet-Close” technology that prevents the seat from slamming. The seat has a quick release feature, making it easy to remove for deeper cleaning.
The PureWash E930 is now available to order (in white) at Kohler website. A black colorway will be available in late February.
