The guy is an idiot. If it took "eight or ten" flushes "to remove every last scrape" from "a bone-dry horizontal shelf", why the heck couldn't he flush once beforehand[/b] to prevent stuff from sticking?

And when using an american toilet, always put a few sheets of toilet paper in the water to prevent splashing.

I thought the Germans were smart, and now I hear about this retarded crapper design.

Why not deploy the crapper shelf under the water and then have it rise up about 3 feet out of the bowl when you flush so you can get a good look at it before it goes back down under water and flushes away?

A few is not enough for american toilets. The capacity of the bowl is so great that at least half a roll is reguired to completely remove the danger of a splashback.

I've always found a little splash to be satisfying.

This thread has really taken the plunge down the crapper.

I've not experienced German toilets, but I found those throughout other parts of Europe to be powerful super flushers, that put American toilets to shame. Almost turbocharged Type R.

The little hand showers... well, different story there.

Maybe you have too much spare time? And what dark obsession makes you to surf that places?
But i will enlighten you. As far as i can.
Fact is, we have both toilet models in use here in germany. In my flat, we have both models. Of course, in different toiletrooms.
Another fact is: the author of that report is realy stupid. He cleaned the shell manually with toilet paper.
Each toilet in germany, no matter what shape, has a special toilet brush to clean the toilet after use. Maybe the author didnt notice that. Or even worse, he used the brush to wipe his bellybutton and used the paper to clean the shell.
In that report, i never read something about any brush.
I guess the author is canadian. So it might be that canadians never use any brush to clean their toilets after heavy use? Brrrr!!
I hope i never will be forced to make my 'duty' in an canadian high tech toilet.
I found a site where you can see how to use a toilet brush and how NOT to use it. Sorrily its in german, but watch the pix carefully and you understand.

Look here you brushless dolts

In Europe toilets feature wash-down bowls, not siphon bowls. The differences between the traditional German toilet bowl (where excrement is displayed), the French bowl (where the excrement disappears in the hole as soon as possible), and the American one (where the excrement floats in water) cannot be accounted for in terms of pure functionality. Each type of the toilet bowl may present an ideological stance of some sort.

Germans have a tendency to elevate mere necessity into something more sublime, to invest a simple action with a higher, loftier meaning. The tendency to put theory over fact and the ideal over the real tends to make for good artists and philosophers (Germany has more than any other country), but deflects attention from day-to-day affairs, promoting disorder in politics and society.

Heyas Vaq....

Wanna attend the next KC AH BBQ experience? Didn't know you lived here:)
