Best Auto releases auto-flushing toilet seat

Best Auto has released the “Best Seat,” which flaunts an auto-flush function that could dramatically cut electricity use.

The company said the product weighs the human body and senses absence of human touch on the seats instantly without using electricity. When one gets off the seat, it flushes automatically without the user having to use a button or lever.

The product also consumes up to 50 percent less water than others, the company said.

The Best Seat won the Eco Design Award from the Korea Environment Industry and Technology Institute.
