Because the remote control is integrated into the side of the seat it has to be operated without being seen and I have a difficult time remembering the order of the buttons. I wish we'd bought one with the remote that would be on the wall. But other than that, this is a completely wonderful appliance and I wish everyone in the whole world could have one -- although I don't know whether that's "green" or not. It's "green" in that toilet paper becomes, ultimately, unnecessary but it uses a lot of electricity and water. I wish it were available in a variety of colors rather than just antiseptic white. Also I am worried about its continued operation. There is only a one year warrenty and our water has a lot of rust. It would be nice if there were a way to repair it ourselves when necessary. I am absolutely certain that it is a health-improver.
