Recently, there is what smart pillow, smart water cup, smart bed, these sound fancy, the actual function is not necessarily so reliable products. But when it comes to the smart home, there is one thing that really makes a difference, and that is the smart toilet all-in-one and the smart toilet seat. These two categories have been performing strongly in the smart home market, with sales rising year after year, and have become one of the standard features in young people’s new homes. So, smart toilet in the end is not “IQ tax”? Let’s listen to what people who have used it say.

Why smart toilet is a good product

First of all, the popularity of intelligent toilet, thanks to the traditional toilet lining. Traditional toilet, the face value of the same, every bathroom toilet is very similar. In winter, the cold toilet seat makes people shudder, and can only be standardized with a plush toilet seat cushion. Moreover, each time you have to turn around 180 ° to press the flush button, it is simply a test of physical flexibility. Coupled with the water tank is prone to problems, either out of order or running leakage, really annoying people.

Now we live in good conditions, the diet is more and more fine, PP with ordinary handkerchiefs often wipe not clean, many people have switched to wet toilet paper. But excrement is still very easy to hang wall, after flushing can not bear to see. Especially men, almost every time you use the toilet ring to lift it, not convenient and unhygienic, but also easily embarrassed. These bad experiences are simply the last straw for negative emotions to erupt.

In contrast, the smart toilet is simply a savior. Its more elegant appearance and more humanized functions are incomparable to the traditional toilet. Perhaps some friends because there is no experience, or just one or two not so good experience (for example, can not adapt to the feeling of flushing massage), on the smart toilet with a wait-and-see or negative attitude. But in fact, the smart toilet is already a fairly mature industry. Since the invention of the smart toilet seat in the United States in 1964, after half a century of iteration, it has been developed from the medical storage heat type, household storage heat type, to the current household instant heat type.

Smart toilet seat or smart toilet

The advantages of a smart toilet seat are obvious: you don’t have to replace the toilet, and a product that fulfills the two basic functions of “instant heating of the toilet seat and warm water flushing” is inexpensive, with a wide range of options on the market. However, the smart toilet cover can not directly flush the toilet, in the “intelligent” experience there is an inherent shortage. And there are all kinds of toilets on the market, size and installation constraints, you like the toilet seat is likely to be mismatched with the toilet.

In contrast, the degree of intelligence of the smart toilet is obviously higher, more abundant in function. For example, automatic flushing away from the seat, automatic flipping up the toilet seat cover these practical functions, are smart toilet cover can not do. So, our suggestion is: if you are more satisfied with the existing toilet at home, do not want to change again, then add a smart toilet seat is enough. But if it is a new home renovation, or the toilet was already a problem, then one step to replace a smart toilet!
