Do you want to save money on renovation? Should you install a smart toilet? How cost-effective is a smart toilet?

We all know that bathroom decoration is quite time-consuming, and many people spend a lot of energy on decorating their bathrooms. Smart toilets are a popular decoration recently, and many people install smart toilets in their homes. So is it necessary to install smart toilets if you want to save money on decoration? Let's take a closer look!

Is it necessary to install a smart toilet if you want to save money on renovation?

Smart toilets are not a necessity of life, but a consumer product that improves our quality of life.

If you don’t have enough budget for renovation or want to save money, there is no need to buy a smart toilet. However, you should look at renovation with a development perspective. Not using it now does not mean you won’t need it in the future. We can’t wait until the future when we want to improve our quality of life and then find ourselves unable to install it. It is recommended to reserve sockets when changing the water and electricity, which doesn’t cost much.

Advantages and disadvantages of smart toilets

Smart toilets were first used in the healthcare field, mainly for lower body diseases, such as hemorrhoids, female lower body care, cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, and massage function can promote defecation in patients with constipation. If you have similar disease experience and need relevant care and cleaning, it is recommended to buy it. If not, it is not necessary. Smart toilets can provide more comfort, such as seat heating, post-defecation cleaning, disinfection and sterilization, massage function, automatic lid opening, automatic flushing, drying, etc. The toilet is cleaner, and the waste basket in the bathroom can be removed to make the toilet area cleaner and more sanitary.

However, smart toilets also have disadvantages. One is that they are relatively expensive, generally more than 6,000 yuan, and better ones are more than 10,000 yuan. Another is that they need to be powered on, and a power socket must be installed near the toilet. The power is about kilowatts, which is equivalent to the power consumption of a small kitchen appliance or instant water heater. Another is that some people are not used to the flushing and drying of smart toilets; and they occupy a large area and take up a lot of space. It is not convenient to repair after damage, and electrical components are prone to aging problems.

Should I install a smart toilet?

If you want to save money, you can choose an ordinary toilet, or use an ordinary toilet first, and then replace it with a smart toilet later, leaving a socket in the toilet area. You can also choose a smart toilet cover and match it with an ordinary toilet. If the renovation funds are tight, for example, you have to borrow money for renovation, you can buy a toilet worth thousands of yuan first, and then replace it with a smart toilet after 3-5 years.

I personally think it is not necessary, but now people's living standards have improved, and the comfort of smart toilets is still good, although the energy consumption is higher. If conditions permit, they can be installed and used. Now many people choose smart toilets for decoration, which are generally used in the master bedroom bathroom.
