I was excited about specifying one for a very small powder room, but
found that there were two serious problems:<br><br>
1. It's cold water only<br>
2. The water runs only as the tank is filling. In other words, you can't
just go in and wash your hands, let alone wash them in warm or hot
water.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">I used one in Japan, not sure of
the brand. Toilet works like normal, and handwashing: small sink, so be
careful not to splash; the toilet refill is ~1.28 gpf and this was more
than I needed to wash my hands, so the water just kept running after
handwashing, which took getting used to. Also the issue of where
you hang the handtowel. And there is a little more reaching than at
a typical sink, since you are reaching over the toilet bowl.<br><br>
We specified the Caroma Smart sink-over-toilet for a compact powder room
in Palo Alto, CA.

http://www.caromausa.com/products/index/cu_products39.php</a> The
owner was on-board for the water savings, but also called it the
"prison toilet". I used the sink there; works great, same
as Japanese version. With U.S. code clearances to either side of
toilet, you can stand on the side and not reach as far.<br><br>
The distributor is located somewhere here in the Bay Area, Northern
California.<br><br>
