When you think of the term “smart toilet,” the Japanese toilet may first come to mind–the type equipped with a seat warmer, an array of nifty buttons, and even a music player. But Japanese toilets don’t necessarily need a home WiFi connection to work, and other modern options include that functionality and more!
We’ll explore why a smart toilet is a great option for your home, and why it should be your next upgrade!
What makes this toilet “smart,” anyway?
Smart toilets have built-in technology that allows you to control the app via smartphone or voice control–and just like their nifty Japanese counterparts, they come with other features that make your overall experience more hygienic and even customizable. Some models have automatic lids that open and close, touch-free, with “quiet close” functions so that the lid won’t slam shut. Multiple washing and drying options can be tailor-made for your specific needs, while helping keep your smart toilet cleaner. Others are equipped with night lights to keep you safe when you have to use them in the middle of the night.
A smart toilet is also a water-efficient toilet. A conventional toilet typically uses approximately 1.2 to 1.6 gallons per flush; in contrast, intelligent toilets can autodetect the amount of flush required–with some units using as little as 0.6 gallons per flush. That makes this smart bathroom device both eco- and budget-friendly in the long run!
