The high-tech commode that they´ve got on display is so high-tech that its users merely need to sit through their whole performance in the can--without having to reach for the toilet paper or the faucet after they´re done with their business--pull up their clothes and get back to life. The commode takes care of the wiping. What´s more, with this intelligent machine, users can even set the temperature of the seat, meaning that the user´s body won´t suffer that cold twinge when parking their end on it. The commode doesn´t come cheap--it´s Rs 174,000 (excluding VAT)--but for those people who are functionality-freaks, it might satiate their appetite to own that next ultra-functional gizmo.
Another cleverly designed merchandise in this store is its “water tile.” It´s a shower, but it´s meant to be installed in such a way (on the ceiling, walls, in fact anywhere one wishes) that its nozzles spray water not only from above the user´s head but also from all the areas lateral to the user´s body, meaning that a bath turns into a complete body massage. This product is another ripper, with its price standing at Rs 389,820 (excluding VAT), but again if functionality is paramount for a user, it can be a toy for those who desire home-based hydrotherapy every now and then.
For those who would rather heal their worn-out body by cocooning themselves in water, instead of having the water give them a vigorous massage, the store´s bathtub-jacuzzi on display might be the perfect buy. This bathtub, known as Consonance Whirlpool, has three distinct bathing wells of varying depths and the water temperature can be adjusted to suit one´s need. It costs Rs 946,165 (excluding VAT).
Other big-ticket items in this store include a toilet-paper holder made of solid brass, priced at Rs 9,670 (excluding VAT), and a soap dish that costs Rs 12,895 (excluding VAT).
Kohler´s also features less expensive items, and if customers know the art of mixing and matching amenities to balance out costs, they can easily stay within budget.
