As a first timer at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, I was caught off guard by all the toilet talk.
Sure I expected discussions of countertops and sinks, faucets and bathtubs. But somehow talking about toilets just seems gross.
But not when it comes to the fancy toilets you see at KBIS.
I watched as master plumber and HGTVPro.com host Ed Del Grande showed off the water efficiency features of Kohler’s toilets. I’ve never seen someone so enthusiastic about flushing technology.
There’s so much power in this toilet waiting to be unloaded, Ed said about one model. He didn’t intend the pun and quickly corrected his word choice to unleashed.
Ed also explained the features of a dual-flush toilet. “You press 1 after what? No. 1. You press 2 for no. 2.”
Toto also had some impressive, sleek high efficiency toilets that don’t compensate on flushing power.
Over at Coway, I checked out bidets with his and hers personal cleansers. (By the way, who owns a bidet? I’ve never actually seen one in someone’s home.)
His and hers closets. His and hers sinks. His and hers cleansers. Fascinating.

It’s Annalisa reporting from the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show in Chicago and I’m looking forward to a great weekend learning about cool new trends and technology for the two most popular rooms in your home.
I spent most of the morning checking out the show floor, from Kohler’s mega-booth (more like showroom), which felt like a club with its blaring dance music, to Wood Stone’s booth, where they were baking fresh pizzas for convention-goers to sample.
I’ll be tweeting via @HGTVFrontDoor and posting updates on the blog periodically so follow along!
