Smart toilets originated in the United States, but carried forward in Japan, TOTO in 1980 launched the Washlet series of toilet seats to carry forward this technology, its total global sales have reached 50 million units, so when it comes to smart toilets, usually the first thing that comes to mind is Japan's TOTO.
TOTO has the first market share in Japan, with nearly 800 patent applications, and China is also an important market for TOTO, whose products are used in many landmark buildings such as the Bird's Nest National Stadium and the Water Cube in Beijing.
As a pioneer of smart toilet seats, TOTO's Washlet series has an undoubted status in the industry, and TOTO's integrated smart toilet Norest Neorest series is not far behind, and its Neorest AH/RH integrated toilets have won the 2019 IF Design Award.
In terms of type, Neorest integrated toilets are mostly vortex siphon type, flush toilet is relatively few, and the surface adopts Zhijie technology, and inside, TOTO is one of the first manufacturers to launch ultra-vortex flushing and edgeless inner wall technology.
The water piece determines the life of a toilet. TOTO uses Weidia's water parts, which are commonly found in high-end models, and the quality is more guaranteed, and the water consumption of EcoMax water-saving technology is less than 4.8L, which is also more water-saving, but most of TOTO's integrated toilets use PP toilet seats, which are inferior to ABS toilet seats used by other brands.
The core of the Washlet series is inseparable from the three basic functions: seat heating, rinsing after toileting, and drying water, while the Norest series retains all the functions of the Washlet series while also making progress, and the overall sense is stronger, more suitable for users who pursue integrated home design, positioning high-end, and the price is more than 10,000 yuan.
For example, the core cleaning function, in addition to the smart cleaning function (self-cleaning of the nozzle before flushing), there are also Zhixuan technology, Zhiqing technology, and it is also equipped with the exclusive function of "pre-toilet spray" to reduce dirt adhesion.
There are not many TOTO Norest series products, Norest is its high-end product line, the model starts with CS, and other Norest products start with CES. The Norest series products are all imported from Japan, positioned as high-end, and the representative product is CS901K. The shape is rounded, the lid is specially coated and the exterior is integrated with the ceramic, and the toilet seat has an ergonomically rounded shape.
As the highest-end model of TOTO, there is no shortage of various exclusive functions: super vortex washing, edgeless inner wall, Zhixuan technology, Zhijing technology, pre-toilet spray, rhyme wave cleaning technology, etc., the price is about 35,000 yuan.
As for the Norrest ordinary series, CES9768WCS and CES9788WCS are more classic flagship styles, both have won the German Red Dot Design Award, the price is about 20,000 yuan, the two functions are basically the same, its appearance is also TOTO's consistent simple style, there is no superfluous design, the average water consumption of a flush is 3.3L, which belongs to the first level of water efficiency, which is quite environmentally friendly.
If the budget is about 10,000 yuan, you can consider the next CES9433WCS, this model only has the basic lower body cleaning function, no lower body care cleaning function, air wave cleaning, no electrolyzed water sterilization and lighting, and other functions are basically the same as the flagship CES9788WCS.
