Toilet Guide, or Toto Smart Toilets

Dirt and waste are toilets usually associated with. And the Toto Research Center in Kyushu is successfully fighting these associations. Japanese toilets are probably the best in the world, but also somewhat frightening - there are too many buttons and unknown symbols on them. Not to mention the fear of being eaten by a losing toilet, or being drenched in water.

Japan’s largest toilet manufacturer is not located in Tokyo. Toto’s headquarters are located hundreds of kilometers from the capital, Kyushu. The company has been operating for almost 100 years since 1917, and is the Apple Toilet Version. At the same time, Toto considers himself to be the best not because of the newest technologies that he builds in toilets, but because of the plumbing heritage.

For many decades, the humble Japanese flooded the public toilets before starting the actual process for which they came. This is done to mask the sound. Imagine how much water is in vain! Toto to prevent such neglect of pure water invented the "princess sound" - by turning on the system using a motion sensor, you and people outside will hear the sound of a forest or music.

Bidet


The bidet is sort of more hygienic. Therefore, there are this function in Toto’s toilets. You can adjust the temperature and pressure, and choose oscillating or pulsed jets. In the video, you can see the pulsating flow of the Washlet. This is a stream of a mixture of air and water, the epicenter of which falls on the seventh centimeter from the spout.

Business


Despite the countless benefits of these toilets, there are not so many of them in the West. And it's not a high price tag. Cultural discomfort is more important: everyone goes to the toilet, but nobody wants to talk about it. Difficult to interact with consumers. Marketing manager Kohler notes that it is difficult to interact with consumers - it’s difficult to talk beyond the design and basic functions of the toilet.

Steve Scheer, the head of Brondell, argues that it is extremely difficult to change someone's toilet habits. And that is why not everyone is thinking about putting at least a bidet at home.
