Narita Qantas Lounge Toilets.

[greenestev]

I am trying to find the supplier/manufacturer of the marvelous toilets in the Qantas lounge at Narita. The one with all the bells and whistles, heated lifting seat with adjustable water jet pressure etc etc. Would be grateful for a lead on this.

Unfortunately no brand name is visible that I could spot, but this is proof that they're cool and that i was in the Narita QP for _FAR_ too long with an open bar.

Could it be TOTO by any chance.

Never saw a different brand over there. I'm sure there is though.

The toilet looks the same / similar to the one I saw in a lounge at Dubai airport

...if so, it was made by "Toto" as you can just see in the pic below:

You're referring to a "washlet" toilet made by Toto.

They are heated, come with a built in bidet (angle, water heat and pressure controllable on some models). I sourced one for a friend who wanted to upgrade the throne in their Gold Coast unit, but the price!

Add in some additional plumbing, wet-area proofing and concealing of a 240v to 110v stepdown convertor and they can be a pricey option. And wait till you need some service on it.

They are one of my favourite things about Japan, but alas I haven't made regular enough flights or earned the points to get into the lounge. Thank goodness they're in almost every convenience store.

I've seen all sorts of brand names on toilets in private houses in Japan, including "National" and "Toshiba' but the toilets in public areas, hotels, ryokans etc mostly seem to be Toto brand.

Here's a couple of links

Check out a US company called Brontell (http://brondell.com). The site has some links to online suppliers.

The first time I experienced a Washlet - it scared the #$*T out of me! (No pun intended). The instructions were in chinese and I thought it was a radio control!!!

You've reminded me of when I was in Tokyo two years ago and decided to push the bidet button on my hotel toilet whilst not seated. The water fired across the bathroom and hit the wall opposite! Was highly entertaining for me as I experimented with the Japanese toilet.

When I went to the lounge it had the coolest beer machine. Put the glass on, pressed the button. Glass was tilted and your beer was perfectly poured. This lounge was a shared lounge with a few airlines.

Believe it or not there is a shopfront at the Australia Fair shopping centre in Southport on the Gold Coast, (where else?) that supplies these loos. Their phone number is 07 55917744 and a web address thebidetshopdotcomdotau Maybe they've got what you're after.

Not having a dig at anyone, but I never thought I'd see the day when we'd be having a serious discussion about toilets in here. Pissed myself laughing.

Pissed myself laughing.

See, toilet discussions are required here at times!

Sorry, you are prob' right, my visual interp' of Chinese vs. Japanese is limited somewhat old man....

Every hotel I recently stayed at in Japan had washlets - very cool.

Mr!

Although really, Kanji and Chinese characters are not too different. However Hirigana and Katakana are another matter...

And as to the surprise at a toilet discussion, I've even heard of discussions going off thread on rare occasions

Given the title of this thread, I'd hardly think it is going OT at the moment ...
