At $150 a unit that is $750,000 (CAD) required before the production can begin.I'm not sure this guy understands how KS is meant to work.And the videos, oh the videos...Oh, and this guy tried and failed before:https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tissuetablet/the-tissue-tablet-sanitize-luxurize-technologize

content: Nothing new or exciting about this product.We have them installed here at work.Just google "automatic toilet tissue dispenser".Of the hundreds of designs there are plenty of 'powered' units with various types of sensors.I don't think that guy is going to get anywhere with that KS.

content: At least he isn't trying to charge batteries in 30 seconds.I see many automatic dispensers for towel dispensers for drying your hands.But I've never seen one for toilet tissue before.I thought it would be amusing to shoot a short movie of a zombie going into a modern restroom where none of the IR-sensor automation will detect his presence.No TP from this automated dispenser. No flush from the toilet. No water from the automatic tap, no soap from the automated dispenser, and no towels from the machine. But then maybe zombies don't use the restroom?

content: While it is a good idea, I also see it is late. There are already many of these on the market, as others have proven.I could see Elaine (from Seinfeld) yelling at the dispenser...'Give me one more square! Just one more!' (for those who have seen this episode, you'll know what I mean).I see this Kickstarter project going to sh&t.....again.

content: I still do not know about them.Bidets are rare here, unless you are in a Muslim owned shop, where you will have hot and cold water available in the toilet, along with a small basin within reach of your left hand. Otherwise you will have a cleaned beaker outside to use for washing.

content: I dont get it.. I must be missing the point some how. At least where I live I would very much doubt a product like that would ever sell.Why would you need a automated toilet paper dispenser to start with? you use the paper to whipe your arse when you are done with your business anyways.I'm a big fan of automated soap dispensers, paper towel dispensers, sanitizer alcohol, water faucets and all that so of stuff in public bathrooms as not everyone is washing their hands after they are done.But a toilet paper dispenser??
