Complete Comparison: Regular Toilet vs. Smart Toilet (Bidet Functionality)

Choosing to upgrade to a smart toilet is often accompanied by hesitation; is it really worth the extra expense? In this comprehensive comparison, we examine the key differences between regular and smart toilets so you can make the most informed decision.

               

1. Difference in Appearance (Design and Aesthetics)

 

Regular Toilet:

●    Features a simple and basic design.

   Their general shape has barely changed in nearly a century, which can be aesthetically uninspiring.

Smart Toilet:

●    Features a modern, sleek, and contemporary appearance.

   Offers greater variety in shapes (such as rectangular, U-shaped, or 'First Class Cabin' designs) and colors (red, gold, blue, white, etc.).

2. Difference in Dimensions (Size and Comfort)

Regular Toilet:

   They are typically small in size.

   They can be uncomfortable for tall users or during prolonged sitting, potentially leading to leg numbness or cramping

Smart Toilet:

   Available in a wide variety of sizes, from small (54 cm) to very large (830 mm).

   This variety allows users to find models suitable for small bathrooms or large, spacious models for taller individuals (eliminating the problem of leg numbness).

3. Difference in Lid and Cover Quality


Regular Toilet:

   Their lids usually lack luster and have poor surface texture quality, even in the most expensive models.

Smart Toilet:

●    Features lids with excellent, highly-polished textures that look as bright as a mirror.

   This higher quality results from using advanced (more expensive) production lines and injection molding machines dedicated exclusively to smart toilet covers.

4. Difference in Functions and Features

Regular Toilet:

●    Has only one essential function: the flush/siphon for waste removal.

 

Smart Toilet:

●    Features more than 30 functions that go beyond a basic necessity.

   Core functions include: Posterior wash, feminine wash, enema wash (to aid with

constipation), warm air dryer, smart deodorizer, automatic flushing, and automatic opening/closing of the lid and seat.

   These features are designed to make the user experience more comfortable and ergonomic.

5. Likelihood of Breakdown and Repairs

Regular Toilet:

●    Low likelihood of major breakdown.

   Common issues are usually related to the flushing system and are resolved by replacing a simple mechanical part.

 

Smart Toilet:

●    Higher likelihood of breakdown (due to electronic components).

   Common issues are related to flushing, heating, washing, or electrical faults.

●    Repairs involve replacing the corresponding electronic components, but the process is usually designed to be straightforward.

6. Ability to Solve Problems (Hygiene and Health)

Regular Toilet:

   Only satisfies the basic need for waste elimination.

 

Smart Toilet:

●    Hygiene Solutions: By using water as the best cleaning agent, it solves the problem of incomplete cleaning and lingering odors associated with toilet paper.

●    Health Benefits: For individuals with issues such as hemorrhoids or constipation, the warm water wash and enema function can be soothing and highly beneficial.

●    Deodorization: By using a filter, it converts unpleasant odors into fresh air, keeping the environment pleasant.
