Kohler's new bidet seat costs over $2,100 and raises the question: Would you talk to your toilet seat?

Kohler has a new smart toilet seat that can be paired with digital assistants like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home.

• Kohler is unveiling a new luxury toilet seat at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show.
• The voice-controlled seat can be paired with Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
• At $2,149, the seat is expensive for a bidet but a fraction of Kohler's all-in-one luxury smart toilet.

Kohler has a new luxury toilet seat for anyone looking to upgrade their existing one.

Unlike the brand's other bidet seats, you can pair its new PureWash E930 with a digital assistant like Amazon's Alexa or Google Home. In other words: You can essentially talk to your toilet seat to activate its features (though it also comes with a remote control for anyone who's not that into the idea of talking to their toilet).

The company is also billing the PureWash E930 as its "slimmest bidet seat design yet" with a seat that's just 3.5 inches tall. You can adjust the temperature and water pressure of the bidet spray — opting for a softer, gentler "child mode" or a high-pressure "boost spray." And the stainless steel wand is automatically cleaned with a UV light every 24 hours. 

The seat is heated, "ergonomically designed" to be comfortable, and motion-activated so the lid automatically opens and closes. It also comes with a warm-air drying system with adjustable temperature settings. And if you're ever in need of a bathroom nightlight, it comes with LED lighting. 

At $2,149, the toilet seat is undoubtedly pricey — there are many bidet seats that cost well under $1,000. But Kohler's bidet seat is cheaper than the brand's full-blown smart toilet. Kohler's most advanced smart toilet, the Numi 2.0, can cost upwards of $11,000 and comes with a range of customizable features so users can adjust everything from the ambient lighting to the built-in audio speaker system to suit their preferences. 

Kohler is gearing up to unveil the PureWash E930 at the 2024 Consumer Electronics Show: an annual showcase event for new technological innovations. More than 3,500 exhibitors across every major industry from AI and robotics to digital health to smart home innovators are expected to attend this year's show. CES will kick off next week in Las Vegas.
