Smart Toilet Buying Guide
When traditional toilets meet modern technology, a revolution in hygiene, comfort, and quality of life quietly occurs—smart toilets emerge. So what are the advantages of smart toilets? First, cleaner cleaning: Smart toilets are equipped with automatic flushing functions, using warm water instead of paper for cleaning, which is not only more environmentally friendly but also provides deeper cleaning effects, reducing bacterial growth.
Secondly, smart toilets allow for personalized settings, such as seat heating, warm water washing, automatic sensor lid opening, etc., meeting different needs while enhancing the comfort of use. Although the price of smart toilets is indeed higher than traditional toilets, the investment is undoubtedly worth it for the improved quality of life.
Today, I have compiled this smart toilet buying guide, hoping to explain the process of choosing a smart toilet clearly and simply from the perspective of ordinary consumers, helping everyone easily select the most suitable smart toilet, making every use an enjoyment.
In the smart toilet market, there are only a few popular brands, but the more recommended ones are HEGII and R&T. HEGII is excellent in the toilet field, with very high sales; R&T can be said to be a brand specialized in bathroom products, also OEM for other brands, which is also very good.
Brand: Choosing a well-known and reputable brand is crucial. HEGII is a specialist in smart toilets, with deep R&D background and technical accumulation in the field. ARROW has sufficient brand recognition and high cost-effectiveness, while R&T offers a wide range of product lines, providing different choices for everyone. It is recommended to choose brands with good知名度.
Pit Distance: Pit distance refers to the distance from the wall to the center of the drain outlet, which is an important parameter to confirm before installing a smart toilet. Currently, standard pit distances on the market are generally 305mm and 400mm. When purchasing, ensure that the pit distance of the new smart toilet matches the existing bathroom pipes to avoid installation issues due to size mismatch.
Water Pressure: The flushing and cleaning functions of smart toilets require stable water pressure support. If you live in an area with low water pressure, it is advisable to choose a smart toilet model with a booster pump or strong self-suction to ensure normal operation even in low water pressure environments. At the same time, check the product’s minimum operating water pressure requirements to ensure compatibility with your home’s water supply conditions.
Intelligent Choices: With technological advancements, smart toilet functions have become more diverse, from basic seat heating and warm air drying to advanced features like motion-sensing lid opening, night light mode, deodorizing foam shield, and even health data analysis. Evaluate the actual needs and preferences of family members to determine which intelligent functions are essential, thus avoiding unnecessary expenses.
The ARROW Whirlwind Flush J1 Pro smart toilet has recently gained attention in the bathroom industry. As the brand’s flagship model, its most standout feature is the innovative “Clean Whirlwind Flush” system. This toilet has powerful flushing force, with 138° wide-angle spraying and dual S-shaped siphon pipes, ensuring even sticky paper balls are flushed away in one go without worrying about clogging. The water flow spirals to cover the entire inner wall during flushing, combined with a 5-layer foam technology that forms a foam layer to effectively isolate odors and bacterial residues, which is very practical for hygiene-conscious families.
In terms of cleaning and maintenance, the J1 Pro’s details are well-designed. A pre-filter intercepts scale and impurities to avoid nozzle clogging, and with UV sterilization, the cleanliness of the water outlet is guaranteed. Additionally, it features a self-cleaning system where the nozzle automatically extends for 360° cleaning after each flush, combined with a high-temperature wash function to effectively inhibit bacterial growth.
The seat ring is made of antibacterial glaze, with a smooth and stain-resistant touch, while both the seat ring and inner wall use easy-clean glaze, allowing quick restoration of shine with a light brush. Its foot-sensing lid opening and automatic flushing upon leaving functions are responsive, especially for elderly users, eliminating the need to bend over and enhancing convenience.
The details are also very well handled: the seat heating temperature has three adjustable levels, with fast warming in winter, reaching the preset temperature in about 30 seconds. The night light function provides soft, non-dazzling light, so you don’t have to fumble for switches at night. Overall, this product offers very high cost-effectiveness in the 2000 yuan price range.
R&T, as a leading brand in the smart toilet industry, has gained a large loyal fan base over the years with its exquisite craftsmanship. Its product line is extensive and highly recognized and favored by domestic and international markets.
Today, I recommend its A6MAX model. As their high-end flagship model, it pays more attention to intelligent control and health cleaning. It uses advanced smart sensing technology, including proximity sensing for lid opening and automatic closing upon leaving, making toilet use hands-free, clean, and hygienic. Many people may have experienced being awakened by the sound of flushing at night, but a major advantage of this model is its intelligent quiet flushing, with very low noise during night flushing, yet its three-waterway flushing design ensures thorough cleaning without compromise—truly small sound, big power!
I believe most people have the habit of using their phones while on the toilet, which can prolong the time spent. Prolonged toilet use is not good for our health, so this toilet thoughtfully includes a time beep reminder, emitting a sound to alert us if the set time is exceeded—consideration that couldn’t be more thorough.
Another popular model from them, the UX80, is also very hot and considered top-tier.
It supports mobile Bluetooth app control, foot-sensing lid/circle opening, and automatic flushing upon leaving, completely freeing your hands. In terms of hygiene, it features UVC waterway sterilization, CIAA antibacterial glaze, plasma sterilization, and photocatalyst-free deodorization technology, achieving full-chain cleaning protection from the waterway to the seat. For comfort, it offers instant hot water washing (with moving massage, female-specific washing modes, etc.), seat heating, warm air drying, and seasonal temperature adjustment, meeting the diverse needs of different family members.
It is equipped with an arc-shaped antibacterial spray rod and nozzle self-cleaning function for safer use. A high-definition digital display and light-sensing night light enhance operational intuitiveness, while child wash mode and prolonged sitting reminder functions cater to family usage scenarios.
When it comes to HEGII Sanitary Ware, many people’s first impression is “old brand,” but this is no ordinary “old.” Founded in 1998, HEGII Sanitary Ware has over 20 years of industry experience and is one of the leading companies in China’s bathroom industry. Its smart toilets have received consistent praise from consumers.
The more recommended model is the H5Ultra (Max), equipped with a dual-engine instant flush system that uses dual pumps working together to maintain strong flushing power even in low water pressure environments, with flushing noise controlled below 38 decibels, causing no significant disturbance at night. Compared to the previous H5 model, this one upgrades the star glaze 2.0 technology, further improving the density of the ceramic surface.
In terms of cleaning functions, the dual-waterway instant hot water system separates washing water from flushing water completely, while the newly added 3D立体漩涡洗 technology uses dual-swirl water flow to cover a 120°扇形 area of the inner wall, with an anti-backflow design combined with a UV sterilization base, effectively inhibiting odor generation.
JOMOO is also a well-known brand in the bathroom industry. As a leading high-end bathroom brand in China, JOMOO’s smart toilets are not only famous for their excellent product quality and design but also firm and rapid in technological innovation and internationalization.
JOMOO’s ZS770P features a seamless design, which not only looks pleasing but is also easy to clean—just a wipe and it’s spotless. The ZS770P is equipped with smart sensing technology; as soon as you approach, the lid automatically opens, and after leaving, it automatically closes and initiates flushing, truly freeing your hands. It offers multiple washing modes, such as warm water cleaning and massage washing, allowing users to switch freely according to personal preferences. Especially its warm air drying and seat heating functions make sitting on it in winter warm and comfortable—simply blissful!
Another thoughtful feature that must be mentioned is the night lighting. The ZS770P has a built-in soft LED light, so you don’t have to fumble for switches at night; the faint light illuminates the path just enough without being dazzling, ensuring it doesn’t disturb family members’ rest. Finally, regarding hygiene, the ZS770P doesn’t disappoint. It uses ultraviolet sterilization technology, automatically cleaning and disinfecting the nozzle after each use, ensuring every contact is clean and sterile, providing comprehensive protection for the whole family. If you want to experience the convenience and enjoyment brought by smart technology, consider bringing it home!
Its entry-level model, the ZS360J, is no less impressive in its price range. Its operation is simple, with one-knob control that is easy to understand, making it accessible for the elderly and children. Different washing modes, such as posterior wash, feminine wash, and moving wash, are very sufficient for daily use. Many people worry about leakage issues with smart toilets, and the ZS360J handles this well. It has multiple leakage protection measures and an intelligent power-saving mode, so even if not used for a long time, there’s no worry about power consumption—safe and eco-friendly. Although it’s a basic model, it excels in hygiene. Its nozzle self-cleaning design ensures that the nozzle cleans itself before each use, guaranteeing cleanliness every time. If you’re planning to add a smart toilet to your home or replace an old traditional toilet, the ZS360J is definitely worth a try.
