Want a really up-to-the-minute bathroom? Check out the latest in
high-end toilet seats. New toilet-seat technology has homeowners
flocking to the hardware store. And homebuilders are installing
electrical outlets where they never did before -- within plug-in range
for the many new lines of electronic toilet seats. No.1 on the homeowner
hit parade are electrically heated models that keep the seat a
comfortable 30 degrees above the ambient room temperature -- up to, but
not exceeding, a toasty 104 degrees. Others include a wide range of
electronic features that do everything from rinsing and drying to taking
one's blood pressure and deodorizing. One electro model called the
"Peacekeeper," also prevents the toilet from being flushed until the
user puts the seat down. And that's the On The House tip for today.
