Top 10 TOTO Tech Highlights: Customer Favorites
Smart home upgrades are only meaningful if they improve your daily life. At TOTO, our approach to innovation has always been rooted in real-world comfort, not just bells and whistles. So instead of leading with specs, we turned to the people we were most eager to hear from.
We connected with our customers through reviews, real-world conversations, social media conversations, and more, to understand which features make the biggest difference where it counts: at home, in everyday routines.
From Reddit threads to designer forums to direct customer feedback, the message was clear: the most beloved features are the ones that work quietly and reliably in the background, bringing ease, comfort, and cleanliness to every experience.
Here are the top 10 smart bathroom technologies that customers say make meaningful differences in their daily lives.
1. Unlimited Warm Water Cleansing
Why users love it: Comfort, consistency, and control.
Our tankless WASHLET systems offer continuous warm water cleansing with no interruptions and a reduced reliance on uncomfortable and environmentally harmful dry toilet paper. Especially handy for households with multiple users, the warmth never runs out. Behind the scenes, a compact instant water heater maintains your preferred temperature from start to finish—no waiting, no cold surprises, and no wasted water.
2. Adjustable Water Pressure
Why users love it: Personalized comfort with every use.
Whether you prefer a gentle rinse or a more invigorating cleanse, our WASHLET bidet seats let you adjust spray strength, pressure, and position. This personalized control makes every experience comfortable and effective, and our memory settings make sure your perfect configuration is always remembered.
3. Heated Seat
Why users love it: A small luxury that makes a big difference.
No one likes sitting on a cold seat, especially in the morning or during colder seasons. Our heated seats respond to your presence, warming to a comfortable, adjustable, and customizable temperature. This subtle comfort quickly becomes essential and is often the most-loved feature by first-time users.
4. SoftClose® Seat and Lid
Why users love it: No more slamming lids, reduced wear and tear.
This feature prevents loud crashes and accidental damage by gently lowering the seat and lid every time. It’s simple, subtle technology—but often one of the most appreciated. You’ll forget it’s even there…until you use a toilet that doesn’t have it.
5. Memory Settings
Why users love it: Everyone gets their own perfect experience.
With memory settings, multiple users can save their preferred seat temperature, spray pressure, nozzle position, and more, directly from their WASHLET remote. The system recalls your personal configuration every time, so there’s no need to readjust. For shared bathrooms, it’s a favorite convenience.
6. EWATER+®
Why users love it: Worry-free hygiene that you don’t have to think about.
Our EWATER+ technology rinses the bidet wand inside and out before and after each use using electrolyzed water. This eco-friendly solution helps reduce bacterial buildup and keeps everything fresh without using harsh chemicals. The toilet bowl is also misted, along with the underseat area in NEOREST smart toilet models, to support long-term cleanliness with minimal effort. For users who prioritize hygiene, this is a standout.
7. PREMIST®
Why users love it: Makes every flush more effective.
Before each use, a fine mist coats the bowl to help waste wash away more efficiently. This simple step reduces residue, helping waste wash away more easily with less water. Users say it helps cut down the time spent on tedious bathroom chores. It’s one of those quiet features that work constantly behind the scenes, utilizing self-cleaning technology, to make your bathroom easier to maintain.
8. Auto Open / Close Lid + Auto Flush
Why users love it: Hands-free by design, cleaner by default.
These two features work in sync for a completely touchless experience. The lid opens when you approach and closes as you walk away, while the flush activates automatically, so there’s no need to touch a handle or remember to flush. It adds a layer of hygiene and quiet convenience that quickly feels second nature.
9. Deodorizer
Why users love it: Freshness that takes care of itself.
No sprays. No candles. Just quiet odor control that activates automatically. A built-in air purification system neutralizes odors at the source, helping keep the bathroom effortlessly fresh. It’s a discreet touch that guests notice and regular users can’t imagine ever having lived without.
10. TORNADO FLUSH® (including DYNAMAX & 3D variants)
Why users love it: Powerful performance, quietly reliable.
Unlike traditional flush systems, TORNADO FLUSH uses high-efficiency nozzles to create a cyclonic rinse, thoroughly cleaning the bowl with less water and less noise. DYNAMAX adds broader coverage and quieter flushing, while 3D enhances flow with triple-nozzle precision. It’s efficient, effective, and engineering you can rely on.
Our approach to smart bathroom design starts with empathy: understanding what makes people feel cared for, respected, and at ease. TOTO technologies bring that vision to life, transforming small moments into something more thoughtful, intuitive, and life-enhancing.
They aren’t just features. They’re carefully engineered solutions shaped by how people actually live. Because when smart design meets real-world needs, comfort becomes automatic.
