In recent years, smart toilets and bidets have become really popular as a superior option to toilet paper. Not only do these bathroom devices offer improved hygiene, but they have so many other benefits – particularly for the environment. Bidets offer a gentler, effective way to clean, and also a more thorough option than just wiping. You get clean skin with reduced irritation. Bidets are also more sustainable than toilet paper because they minimize your use of it, contributing to less waste and less deforestation. It only makes sense that many designers are now using bidets and smart toilets as the “new standard” in bathrooms.
As an aside, bidets are popular across many regions in the world. In some jurisdictions – such as Italy – bidets are required in every house by law.

As we move even deeper into the 21st century, the evolution of bathroom technology has led to the creation of smart toilets–an exciting advancement that pairs the indulgence of bidets with the convenience of features designed to enhance the user experience. Whether you’re thinking about upgrading your bathroom or not, it’s hard not to notice the benefits a smart toilet may offer.
The Advantages of Smart Toilets
1. Automatic Lid Opening and Closing
An example of one of the most exciting features in today’s smart toilets, is presence sensor technology that opens and closes the toilet lid automatically. Smart toilets with presence sensors take away the worry of fumbling for the toilet lid. Once you are detected, the smart toilet automatically lifts the lid, and magically puts it back down for you. This is can be very convenient for those who are limited in their mobility, or simply when your hands are full. The ease of automatically being able to manipulate the toilet lid enhances your bathroom routine and adds a modern touch.
Additionally, the auto-open and close functionality leads to less hand contact with toilets leading to lower incidence of disease transmission. This functionality has been a surprising top requirement for our customers who are sourcing smart toilets for the elderly and the infirm.
2. Enhanced Comfort with a Heated Seat
The days of having to settle for a cold toilet seat on a frigid morning are over. Smart toilets come with heated seats that have adjustable settings for comfort. Heated toilet seats have temperature settings that can be controlled with either a remote or a side knob to keep you toasty and comfortable every time you sit down. This design feature is wonderfully considerate, and it is especially welcome during the cold months because it can certainly make a bathroom visit far more enjoyable.
3. Customizable Bidet Spraying Settings
Smart toilets elevate the idea of bidets by having customizable spraying settings for users. Users can select their desired water temperature (up to a comfortable 30°C in around 60 seconds), select water pressure and choose a spray mode. This level of customization not only improves hygiene but also creates a personalized level of cleanliness to suit user preferences. Smart toilets may also have a child friendly mode which sets the temperature and spraying settings to those which are suitable to child use.
4. One-Minute Air Drying Function
Many smart toilets also feature an automatic air-drying function after cleaning that quickly accelerates the drying process to only one minute. The innovative air-drying feature can leave the user feeling comfortable and dry, without the aid of toilet paper or any number of wipes while the user is sitting on the bowl. In a post-cleansing world, you can step away from the smart toilet feeling clean, confident, and light on your feet.
5. Automated Cleaning and Deodorizing Functions
You will no longer need to worry about the stresses of cleaning a toilet with a smart toilet that is fully automated with deodorizing and cleaning functions. You can be assured the toilet will be hygienic, will flush automatically after your use and will be deodorized through built-in deodorizers. In addition, you can think about how to enjoy your day Instead of worrying about the amount of work in a bathroom!
6. LED Nightlight for Safety and Convenience
Finding the bathroom in the dark can be tricky, but many smart toilets feature a soft white in-bowl LED nightlight. The low glow makes the bathroom look a little more stylish, but it also makes it safer when you are using it at night. For example, the smart ambient light sensor allows you to adjust the light to be always “on” or only turn on in low-light situations, so you can find your way without turning on blaring overhead lights.
7. Real-Time Temperature Display
For the bathroom users who enjoy having visibility into their bathroom experience, many smart toilets also provide constant feedback via a screen that displays both the air temperature and water temperature in real-time during the bathroom experience. Smart toilets that include this feedback feature offer not only personalization but also peace of mind that everything is prepped for your comfort. There are fewer surprises when you know beforehand what you’re getting into, allowing you to enjoy your bathroom experience to its fullest, right from the start.
8. Advanced Flushing Technology
Most smart toilets have a powered flushing mechanism to force water into the bowl. They may also feature a double cyclonic flushing mechanism that cleans the bowl better than regular toilets leading to less frequent maintenance.
Side fact: A lot of Asian hotels use toilet bowls with the same technology to reduce house keeping costs.
FAQ
What does a smart toilet do?
A smart toilet is a regular toilet that has additional benefits to make life easier.
1. Smart: Some smart toilets include sensors – for zero touch functionality – which enable the toilet to automatically open on approach, sense the use-case, automatically flush and close the lid after use. All the user has to do is approach, sit, get cleaned and walk away.
2. Integrated Bidet: Some smart toilets may include a bidet stalk which may wash using heated water and air dry. This reduces tissue paper use whilst leaving the user cleaner and is more hygienic
3. Night Light: Smart toilets may include ambient lighting for night use – no more switching bathroom lights on at night – reducing instances of insomnia induced by bright night lights.
4. Low Maintenance: Smart toilets also include a better flush mechanism – the so called cyclonic dual flush – which cleans the bowl better and doesn’t require as frequent cleaning as regular toilets

For normal operation, a smart toilet needs electricity. However, the models that we have in stock have a failsafe in case there’s no electricity albeit with reduced functionality. Flushing will still work if there’s no electricity.
