The smart toilet has functions such as heating the toilet cover, washing with warm water, heating and drying with warm air, deodorizing and sterilizing. Especially in the cold north, the cold seat always does not want to use the toilet, and the seat heating function will make you very comfortable. So, is the smart toilet useful? Is it safe? Do you want to buy a smart toilet or a smart toilet lid?

Introduction to 01 Intelligent Toilet

Smart toilets originated in the United States and were later introduced and improved by Japanese companies. In the 1980s, new products were designed, including seat heating, automatic deodorization, warm air drying, sterilization, and other humanized designs. Let smart toilets gradually enter thousands of households.
Smart toilets also have many practical functions, such as buttocks cleaning, lower body cleaning, mobile cleaning, seat cushion insulation, warm air drying, automatic deodorization, silent seating, and so on. Not only can it be operated with a panel, but also with a remote control. With just a gentle press, you can enjoy the convenience of a smart toilet.
The smart toilet that gets up early is used for medical treatment and elderly health care. The sanitary ware function greatly reduces anal diseases and women's physical health, while the women's washing function also eliminates the women's washing devices on the market, effectively preventing the incidence rate of gynecological diseases and anorectal diseases. The massage function of the smart toilet is another great blessing for constipation patients.

02 Intelligent toilet functions

1 Automatic sensing

Literally speaking, there are sensors on the toilet, such as automatic opening and closing of the lid, automatic flushing, automatic cleaning of the nozzle, etc. When a person arrives, the sensors will automatically open the lid and seat cushion. The gravity sensor on the seat cushion will pre moisten or apply magic bubbles to the toilet, and after the person leaves, the smart toilet will automatically flush and close the lid. It is said that some high-end toilets can also recognize urine and choose different flushing methods, which is really powerful.

2 seat ring heating

The smart toilet has a seat heating function, which makes it cooler to sit on a regular toilet. We also need to buy various cushions to cushion it, which is particularly prone to bacterial growth. And intelligent seat heating is very practical, not only with sterilization on the seat, but also with temperature control and adjustment according to personal preferences. In winter, it is warm and comfortable.

3 Hip cleaning

As the name suggests, after using the toilet, you can choose to clean your buttocks. The nozzle of the toilet will extend out to clean it, which is much cleaner and more hygienic than wiping it with toilet paper. Once you get used to it, you won't want to use a regular toilet anymore.

4 Women's washing function

The women's washing function is a standard configuration of the smart toilet, which has eliminated the previous women's washing machine. This function is designed specifically for women's physiological hygiene, with a dedicated nozzle spraying warm water, washing clean and healthier.

5. Warm air drying

After washing with water, use warm air to blow dry the moisture, which is very comfortable. The principle is the same as using a hair dryer to blow dry hair.

6 bowel function

This function is interesting. Some toilets come with an enema function, which utilizes strong water pressure to physically defecate through water flow, allowing constipation patients to defecate quickly and cleaning various bacteria in the rectum.

7 automatic deodorization

The setting of the smart toilet will handle odors, remove them, purify the air, and ensure that there is no odor in the air when using the toilet.

8 low light illumination

This function is similar to a small night light, which does not turn on at night. The soft and faint light emitted by the smart toilet can also make it easy for people to use the toilet.

Summary: The above are just some common functions. With the continuous research and development of manufacturers and the continuous development of smart home IoT, I believe that more intelligent functions will be developed in the future. Here, I will explain that different toilets may only come with a few functions, or they may come with all, depending on their positioning and price. Some may also come with voice control, saving even the need for a remote control.

Which is better, 03 Smart Toilet or Smart Toilet Lid

1 Price comparison

The price of smart toilet seats ranges from 1500 to 3000 yuan; Choosing a foreign investment is better for toilet covers, and the price of domestic intelligent toilet all-in-one machines ranges from 3000 to 5000 yuan. The price range of foreign-funded smart toilet all-in-one machines is over 10000 yuan. Smart toilet covers are suitable for upgrading old toilets, while for new users, it is recommended to install smart toilet all-in-one machines directly.

Overall, the price of the smart toilet all-in-one machine is higher than that of a regular toilet+smart lid combination. If the budget is not high, upgrading to an old toilet with a smart lid is more cost-effective.

2 Function Comparison

The basic functions of a smart toilet and a smart toilet lid are the same, mainly includingSeat heating, automatic deodorization, warm air drying, rinsing and sterilization，In addition to basic functions, various brand manufacturers will also add some other functions to their smart covers, but some functions are unique to smart toilet all-in-one machines and cannot be achieved by smart toilet covers.
So in terms of functionality, the intelligent toilet all-in-one machine is superior, but the additional features of the intelligent toilet are similar to the differences between the mid-range and high-end versions of cars. Therefore, in terms of basic functions, the difference between the two is not significant.

3 Comparison of installation convenience

Regarding installation, if you are a new user, simply install the smart toilet all-in-one machine, but the price will be slightly higher. It's great to get it done in one step, and you don't have to worry about the toilet for at least 5 years.

And for smart toilet seats, it is necessary to measure the size of the seat of the toilet, and also consider whether the toilet is U-shaped or D-shaped. This is a bit troublesome, as some smaller or larger toilets may not necessarily find a suitable toilet cover.

4. Aesthetic Comparison

Nowadays, no one cares about budget overruns. In terms of appearance, smart toilets outperform smart toilet lids, and can even be said to be a flash sale of smart toilet lids. When the night light is on, who can match it?

If the smart toilet lid comes with an operation panel, I can only say that it is a standard hotel model. After all, we are for home use, not staying in a hotel!

5. Operational comparison

In terms of ease of operation, whether it is a knob or voice control, the smart toilet needs to surpass the smart toilet cover. Elderly and children do not need to read any instructions, just press it directly. On the other hand, the smart toilet cover, whether it is not for the operation panel or the remote control, requires research to know. Some people now don't even know how to use a smartphone, right? This is true. My colleague, who is 88 years old, can't even use an iPhone, haha~

04 How to choose a smart toilet

1. Quality and Safety

Smart toilets require electricity, so the bathroom must have a dry and wet separation area. Another consideration is whether the material of the smart toilet is flame-retardant, whether it has leakage protection, and whether it is safe to use electricity. Pay attention to safety!

2 Function Selection

Smart toilets generally have functions such as seat human sensing, seat heating, hot water washing, warm air drying, automatic deodorization, etc. Users living in high-rise buildings should consider water pressure, and old residential areas should also consider water pressure. Women should pay attention to whether there is a washing function when selecting, which can effectively prevent some gynecological inflammations.
The practical function of smart toilets is the most important. Generally, smart toilets need to have functions such as seat human sensing, seat heating, hot water washing, warm air drying, automatic deodorization, etc. Friends living on high floors also need smart toilets with turbocharging function, so that they can flush normally even when encountering low water pressure. When female friends choose smart toilets, they should choose toilets with women's washing function. Rinsing them every day is much more convenient and can effectively prevent some inflammatory diseases.
