Once a treasure associated only with Japan, smart toilets are making their way across the globe and into the home of many Americans. But what is a smart toilet, and why would you want to install one in your home? Think of it in terms of upgrading a regular flip phone to a touchscreen smartphone. It does everything it did before, and much more, making it a coveted commodity for homes.
Features
Heated Seating
Isn’t it the worst on cold winter mornings when you get up to use the bathroom and the porcelain toilet seat is ice cold? The smart toilet eliminates that problem with it’s perfect-temperature heating capabilities.
Bidet Functions
Many homes are equipped with both a toilet and a bidet (which allows you an easy way to cleanse your genitals), but a smart toilet combines the two. It can spray warm water to clean you up after use, eliminating the need for costly and scratchy toilet paper. Plus, the smart toilet offers air drying capabilities, which the bidet never had.
Electronic Functions
With the smart toilet, men are much less likely to leave the toilet seat up, since, on many models, when you flush, it also lowers the seat and the lid. Likewise, many other amazing features are being added into the commode, including music systems, self cleaning functions, and remote control capabilities, all at a press of a button.
Why You Want It
Monitors Health
Many smart toilets actually come equipped with functions to help you monitor your health. Such a toilet can monitor your weight, BMI, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels each time you sit on it. It can also come with a sample catcher, which will take a urine sample and upload the information to your doctor through a smart chip. If you have health problems, this could be one of the most effective ways to monitor them.
Easier Use for Young and Elderly
Potty training can be much easier with this fun device. You can get your child excited about using the toilet, and even set a schedule that will play musical reminders when it’s time for your child to go potty. The elderly can also enjoy a more convenient visit to the john, as there are many features that cater to them, such as an easy-to-push button for flushing (rather than a heavy lever) and health monitoring.
It’s the Future
As the world continues to advance in technology, so will it’s gadgets, and the toilet is a big step in that direction. It can have a vast impact on those who choose to use it, as it has so many positive effects. However, this toilet is not an easy install.
