Hygienic Touchless Toilets

The Kohler Touchless Toilet is Debuting at CES 2020

— January 3, 2020 — Art & Design
In public restrooms, there are often hands-free sensors that take care of the flushing and at CES 2020, the Kohler Touchless Toilet is being showcased so that consumers can enjoy the same conveniences at home. The design of the Touchless Toilet includes a sensor within the flush lever, so that the action of placing one's hand in front of the lever is all it takes to trigger the toilet to flush. With the companion app, adjustments can be made to the sensor light.

At CES 2020, Kohler will be sharing its latest smart home innovations for the kitchen and bathroom, and conference show attendees can look forward to interactive product demos.
