The bottom, where the toilet bolts to the floor, is about as big a problem for me when it comes to cleaning as the rim is. That's why I like the skirted ones mentioned earlier.
And that "self-cleaning" one still doesn't clean the rim.
No kidding. Peeing on the floor and the sides of the toilet is nothing but disrespect for whoever is their servant to clean the toilet after them.
Men can write their name in the snow. They are perfectly capable of hitting a circle that is 16 inches in diameter.
They have a hose to direct where their pee goes. If they dribble, they should wipe it up right then and there.
Its not that simple. If you owned one you would know.
Try pointing a hose into a bucket about the same size as a toilet, and at low pressure. Next have someone turn up and down that pressure and you need to keep adjusting the hose to point into the bucket. Most mistakes happen when you first start to go. Even though its pointed at the bowl, it may stream to the left or up, etc. until the full stream starts. Yes, its a lot of detail, but thats how it works.

Maybe not "just" but isn't a rocket science and pretty common in other countries. Only because this type of toilet is not popular here, doesn't mean having one isn't doable. Those toilets are sold here, locally, including all the necessary accessories. Of course some modifications are needed, like removing a drywall and replacing it with thicker wall to support the tank and carrier system. But there are creative ways to deal with this problem if you really wish to make the change, and easier during a complete renovation.
It exists in other countries because it's bolted into concrete walls.
Ew, putting anything toilet related into my dishwasher...where I put my dishes...that I eat off of. No thanks!
My gripe is I don't think some companies put really good glazing on all the places inside the bowl, namely the draining hole. "Stuff" sits there a bit before the flush and often stains or catches. And if one uses those pumice stone things to get rid of a hard water stain, doesn't that destroy the glazing and make that spot more apt to future staining?
Funny I came across this thread right after I had scrubbed my john. Yes, I washed my hands before I put them on the keyboard.
the toilet in that picture looks kind of tall. I prefer short toilets where you have ample ability to bend your knees and "squat" .. I never used a really tall toilet until I bought this house where they installed tall ones so the elderly people who lived here could get out of them more easily.
I am to the point where I prefer the taller john, but I have never fallen into one of the standard height.
