Like the idea of walk-in bath tub but hate the look? Fret no more! Kohler has raised the bar (so to speak) for accessible bathing with their Elevance™ rising wall bath.
It’s designed so that you can easily sit down as soon as you enter the bath. It has a chair height seat, integrated grab bar – making it easy to get in and out of from a standing position, chair or wheelchair positions.
The rising wall needs less than five pounds of force to raise and lower, the built-in foot well makes it easy to test the water temperature as well as lets your body recline – minimizing the pressure on your back and knees.
The Elevance™ bath fills in 3-5 minutes and the dual drain system empties it in under 2 minutes. It fits a standard 5-foot alcove so it can replace an existing bath or used in new construction.
According to Wikipedia an induction cooker uses induction heat which means heat is generated directly in the pot rather than by the stove top. Faster heating, means less energy. It’s safer because there are no open flames. And more accessible because the cooktop is shallow and can be placed at counter height with open space below it.
There are toilets and then there are toilets. And then, there are TOILETS. After that there are Numis. This is something you think to yourself “exactly why do I need an MP3 player connection, FM radio and footwarmer with my toilet?” And the answer is you don’t. But….
But, what if you did have that and more? Like automatic seat opener (seat’s heated of course), integrated bidet and air dryer, led lighting (yes, lighting!), touch screen remote control and dual-flush technology. Although we may not understand “why” all these features are needed, we’re pretty certain once you’ve tried it you’ll probably wonder how you ever lived without them!
The Kohler Numi retails for about $6000.
