In recent years, smart toilets and bidets have gained popularity as a superior alternative to traditional toilet paper. These bathroom fixtures not only promote better hygiene but also offer numerous environmental benefits. Bidets provide a gentle and efficient cleaning experience that is more thorough than wiping alone, leading to cleaner skin and less irritation. They are also more environmentally friendly since they reduce the reliance on toilet paper, contributing to a decrease in deforestation and waste. The versatility and comfort of bidets have made them a staple in many modern 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 progress further into the 21st century, the evolution of bathroom technology has led to the emergence of smart toilets—an exciting innovation that combines the luxury of bidets with advanced features designed to enhance user experience. If you’re considering an upgrade for your bathroom, smart toilets offer a wealth of benefits that are hard to overlook.
The Advantages of Smart Toilets
1. Automatic Lid Opening and Closing
One of the standout features of modern smart toilets is their presence sensor technology, which allows for automatic lid opening and closing. No more fumbling with the toilet lid, as the smart toilet detects your presence and responds accordingly. This enhances convenience, especially for individuals with limited mobility or when your hands are full. The effortless operation adds a touch of modernity to your bathroom routine.
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
Gone are the days of settling for a cold toilet seat on chilly mornings. Smart toilets come equipped with heated seats that can be adjusted for personalized comfort. With temperature settings easily controlled via a remote or side knob, you can ensure a warm and cozy sitting experience every time you use the toilet. This thoughtful design is especially inviting during the colder months, making bathroom visits much more pleasant.
3. Customizable Bidet Spraying Settings
Smart toilets take the bidet concept to the next level with customizable spraying settings. Users can choose their preferred water temperature – reaching a delightful 30°C in less than a minute – as well as adjust water pressure and spray modes for a tailored cleaning experience. This level of customization not only enhances hygiene but also adds a personalized touch that caters to individual preferences. Smart toilets may also have a child friendly mode which sets the heating temperature and spray settings to ones suitable to children.
4. One-Minute Air Drying Function
After cleansing, many smart toilets feature a quick air drying function that accelerates the drying process in just one minute. This innovative feature ensures that users enjoy a fresh and dry sensation without the need for toilet paper or further wiping, enhancing comfort and efficiency. After the experience, you’ll step away feeling clean, confident and with a spring in your step.
5. Automated Cleaning and Deodorizing Functions
Say goodbye to the stress of bathroom cleaning with smart toilets that incorporate fully automated cleaning and deodorizing functions. With automatic flushing after each use and built-in deodorization mechanisms, these toilets maintain high hygiene standards with minimal effort. This feature means you can focus on enjoying your day rather than worrying about the cleanliness of your bathroom.
6. LED Nightlight for Safety and Convenience
Navigating to the bathroom at night can be a challenge, but smart toilets often come with a soft white in-bowl LED nightlight. This subtle illumination not only adds a stylish flair to the bathroom but also enhances safety during nighttime visits. The intelligent ambient light sensor allows you to customize the light to remain always on or activate only in low-light conditions, ensuring that you can safely find your way without switching on harsh overhead lights.
7. Real-Time Temperature Display
For those who appreciate visibility in their bathroom experience, many smart toilets feature a real-time display of both water and air temperatures. This thoughtful addition provides not just a personalized touch but also reassurance that your settings are optimized for comfort. Knowing exactly what to expect enhances the overall experience, setting the stage for a perfect bathroom break.
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
Is a smart toilet worth it?
Short of it: Yes. Once you switch to a bidet, you’ll wonder where it’s been doing your whole life.
Long of it:
1. Better for the environment due to lower tissue use.
2. Better for you due to lower disease incidence due to reduced contact.
3. More comfort for you.

Does smart toilet need electricity?
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.
