Self-cleaning toilet transforms into a urinal

Self-cleaning toilet transforms into a urinal

What if you could have a urinal and a toilet in the same place? That's the idea of the Ultimate Clean Toilet. Facing one way, this design concept is a urinal with all its advantages; push a button and it spins around, flipping down a seat that turns it into a streamlined toilet.

That's not all. It's called the Ultimate Clean Toilet because it closes up and blasts those septic areas with steam and ultraviolet light, rendering them squeaky clean with no scrubbing required. This could be the best home appliance since the self-cleaning oven.

Maybe one reason most houses don't have urinals is because such a fixture would take up additional space. This clever idea solves that problem while taking care of unpleasant toilet cleaning chores at the same time. Add butt-washing/drying capabilities, and this could be the ultimate loo.

Will it say, Feed me Seymour! when I go #2?

I want one. I just don't want to fix it when the motor burns out and my wife is yelling at me that she can't s--t in a urinal.

SP Riley, that is hilarious.

I still want one.

This brings the whole "He always leaves the seat up" issue to a whole new level.

Am I to understand no men pee standing up in front of their toilet? Who needs this? It doesn't save that much space in a bathroom. And when the motor burns out and the sitdown part is stuck facing the wall, it loses its uniqueness cachet real fast. Plus, it breaks one of the most important rules in design: less is more.
