My parents' new house decoration is nearing the end, and I still adhere to the principle of light decoration in the decoration of this house, and spend more thought and silver on the purchase of home and home appliances.
This article is the first content of this new house, I will introduce my homework when choosing a smart toilet for my parents, mainly including the reasons for choosing a integrated smart toilet, and the installation and use of the flagship smart toilet on the market, and also talk about why I am very interested in the "foam wall" and "double remote control clamshell" two functions, I hope to provide some reference to friends who are also buying toilets in the near future.
Why choose a smart toilet?
In recent years, toilet products with richer functions and better experience have gradually been selected by more consumers, among which new products mainly include smart toilet lids, wall-mounted toilets, and integrated smart toilets.
In the first two years, the number of people who bought smart toilet lids around me was relatively large, compared to the last two products, it was only necessary to replace the original ordinary toilet lid, which could realize the flushing and drying function, the price was relatively low, and the installation was simple.
The wall-hung toilet is a kind of toilet designed by using wall rows, because the design of the hanging installation has a high value and no sanitary dead ends, but it needs to be renovated at the beginning of the renovation of the waterway in the home, and most of the time it is necessary to re-build the wall, and the installation is quite difficult.
To say which of the three products is the hottest product today, it is a one-piece smart toilet, compared to the smart toilet cover, the integrated smart toilet integrity is better, and compared with the wall-mounted toilet, the integrated smart toilet installation difficulty is low, just need to replace the old ordinary toilet at home.
According to my understanding, most of the current wall-mounted toilets are the use of non-intelligent wall-mounted toilet + intelligent toilet cover combination, so as to achieve intelligence, which is the same as the combination of ordinary toilet + intelligent toilet cover, can not achieve integrity, while the volume of the limited toilet cover, its intelligent function can not be compared with the integrated intelligent toilet.
From my past experience of using the integrated smart toilet, the daily cleaning will not have any health blind spots, combined with the function, installation difficulty, and my own experience in the past, the new house I still choose an integrated smart toilet for my parents.
Considering that my own smart toilet has two problems of splashing water and automatic lap experience is not good, so this time I chose to have a "foam wall" and "double remote control flip cover" function of Toshiba A7 foam wall intelligent toilet all-in-one machine, 618 to hand preferential price of 5999 yuan.
Four-dimensional foam wall
"Splashing water" may be a very embarrassing problem that everyone has encountered when going to the toilet, and it is also an effort to try to use various postures and techniques to combat it, and there are some funny exchanges that discuss the experience of "splashing water".
Splashing water on your ass when you go to the toilet is a very indecent thing, and more importantly, it is really unhygienic, and the foam wall technology is the result of this.
Foam wall technology working principle is not complicated, the main composition and dependence is a layer of foam layer on the surface of the water, whether it is solid or liquid "thing" falling, you need to first contact this layer of foam layer and collide with it, the bubbles in the foam layer burst, and because of its bubble dense structure, reduce the kinetic energy of the falling "thing", so as to avoid "things" directly colliding with the water surface at high speed to form a splash.
In addition to suppressing water splashes, because the foam wall will also separate water from air, to a certain extent, to isolate odor, and the isolation layer of bacteriostatic substances added to the blowing agent can also effectively inhibit bacteria.
In the process of foam wall formation, the inner wall of the toilet will be moistened, which will also reduce the probability of dirt hanging on the wall to a certain extent.
The foaming agent compartment has a capacity of 480ML and can be used about 280 times after a single filling.
The outer ring of the dosing port located on the right side of the rear panel is a dosing indicator that indicates different foaming agent usage through three-color lecters (white light flashing: in normal use; Red light; Tips to add foaming agent; Blue light: the foaming agent is full), daily use does not need to be added frequently, and the use of the use can be seen at a glance.
Intelligent and humanized
At present, there are many smart toilets of various brands on the market, intelligence is not a problem, but the products designed based on humanized considerations are not much, the reason why I spent a lot of money to start Toshiba A7 In addition to the big brand and luxury configuration, more importantly, some of the designs on the A7 make me feel that it is really for the user to use considerations, rather than simply doing a gimmick.
In my opinion, the stacking material can become a good product, but it is never a top product, including the smart toilet I use and the smart toilet used by my friends, most of them use the design of the automatic flip cap detected by the human body sensor, the cool is there, but it is not easy to use, my parents came to live at my house, and they were scared at night.
To this end, when I choose a smart toilet for my parents, I will be able to achieve automatic flip cap but do not trigger the human body sensor as a very important point, A7 boldly canceled the body sensor trigger flap, but used a dual remote control to make the user experience more friendly.
The large panel wireless remote control has buttons to control all the functions of the toilet, each button is very wide, the annotation is clear, and the elderly parents can easily understand and operate. (Silently, this remote control is nearly twice as big as the one on my own toilet.) ）
Compared to the large panel remote control that can switch and adjust the functions of the toilet, the small remote control is only responsible for the opening and closing of the toilet lid and flushing. In the middle of use, put the small remote control above the toilet or the door light switch and other convenient positions, and men do not have to bend down when using it.
The sensor on the toilet seat feels that when a person leaves the seat, the toilet will automatically flush the water, effectively avoiding the embarrassment of forgetting to flush.
Both the large-panel remote control and the small-button remote control feel good, and the toilet reacts quickly after clicking, and the delay is very low.
In addition to using the remote control, you can also use the knob located on the right side of the toilet for control, to achieve a key quick flush; The two remote controls, knobs, and automatic flushing reflect the intelligent humanization, making the control experience of the A7 very good.
Install the service
And many need to install the same home appliances, the integrated intelligent toilet later use experience is excellent on the one hand to see the product itself, on the other hand and the installation has a lot to do with the installation, Toshiba in the installation is very perfect, before the purchase of customer service will be very professional and detailed explanation of the installation environment of the pit distance, water circuit situation and other issues, so whether the home is suitable for installation of this link is very critical, must be understood clearly in advance.
Water pressure measurement is very important but easy to be ignored when installing smart toilets, constant temperature showers and other products, and some integrated smart toilets have certain requirements for water pressure, otherwise they cannot be rinsed well.
Toshiba A7 has a built-in sunken storage tank and is equipped with a high-performance DC pumping pump, which allows the minimum water pressure required for installation to be only 0.07MPa, which is very friendly for old houses or high-rise houses, and there is no need to install additional booster pumps.
My parents' new house is a high-rise house, and the water pressure is much lower than that of my own side, but in actual use (pictured), the water flow of the Toshiba A7 is more intense than the water flow of this integrated smart toilet installed in my home two years ago.
The whole process of telephone appointment installation and installation master door-to-door installation is very smooth, in which the installation tools and installation operation steps carried by the installation master are very standardized and rigorous, and after installation, they also patiently explained the problems such as the use of precautions.
Design, materials, workmanship
Toshiba smart toilet models include A2, A3, A5, A6, A7 four series, and A7 as the flagship series, whether it is configuration, design, materials or workmanship is the most luxurious.
The overall appearance of the line is simple, the atmosphere is versatile, no matter what the style of bathroom decoration, it can be easily integrated into it.
The silver back panel adds layering to the toilet's look, with the toshiba letter logo in the middle.
Whether it is an ordinary toilet or a smart toilet, the glaze process level determines the quality of the product, and the high-quality glaze process not only ensures that the probability of hanging dirt is reduced, but also effectively delays the problem of yellowing caused by long-term use.
The toilet glaze of Toshiba A7 adopts a 360° full-pipe glazing process, and after 13 hours of high temperature firing at 1280 degrees Celsius, a delicate glaze is formed, forming an excellent stain resistance and yellowing resistance.
Have any friends like me, use the bathroom in the middle of the night do not like to turn on the lights, the lights will often dispel drowsiness. Toshiba A7 has intelligent night vision lights, light blue lights, giving enough light to see objects in the dark night, but it will not dispel drowsiness and affect sleep.
Warm antibacterial
Warmer comfort and more hygienic are the reasons why I chose a smart toilet. Warmth includes the water temperature of the wash butt and the seat temperature of the toilet seat, and in addition to the foam wall mentioned earlier, there is also the cleanliness of the water for washing the butt, the antibacterial treatment of the nozzle and the hoop seat.
As the flagship smart toilet of the Toshiba brand, the A7 uses a temperature control chip imported from Japan, which is cleaned with warm water at a high speed of 0.1 seconds, and the water temperature is constant, avoiding the problem of hot and cold water in many smart toilets.
The nozzle of the smart toilet I am using myself is made of plastic, and the anti-fouling ability is average, of course, this is largely related to the price. However, according to my own experience, choose a smart toilet or try to use a stainless steel antibacterial nozzle style. The nozzle of the Toshiba A7 is made of stainless steel, and it is self-cleaning with each use, washing away dust and dirt on the surface with a water stream.
The nozzle position and water flow strength can be adjusted in 5 steps.
Toshiba A7 has a variety of cleaning modes: toilet cleaning, children's cleaning, clean cleaning, soft women's washing.
Suitable for all men and women, and each family member can quickly choose the cleaning mode that suits them.
Before, it was often said not to choose a smart toilet with warm water storage tanks, because it is easier to breed bacteria than the instantaneous type, and in a stricter sense, I personally recommend that when choosing a smart toilet, you must pay attention to whether the toilet has an antibacterial filter. Toshiba A7 uses micron-level antibacterial filters, which can effectively and efficiently intercept impurities such as tap water sediment, rust, and red worms, which is especially important for women to clean private parts, and the external design of the filter makes it easy and hygienic to replace regularly.
Toshiba A7 seat is CERTIFIED BYIAA antibacterial processing, and the antibacterial rate of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli >99%, which is much stronger than the antibacterial ability of ordinary cushions, but remind friends that they still need to clean and disinfect the toilet regularly, especially the seat ring and other parts that are in direct contact with the buttocks.
The comfort of this antibacterial seat ring is also beyond doubt, and the 5-stop sitting temperature adjustment can find the most suitable temperature in spring, summer, autumn and winter.
In addition, the sensor located on the seat can sense the human body to sit down or leave. When the sensor detects that someone is sitting down to use the toilet, the toilet will use a small amount of water to wet the ceramic inner wall, coupled with the glazed and foam wall technology that is not easy to hang, further so as not to hang dirt, effectively keep clean and clean.
Toshiba A7 has 3 levels of adjustable hot air drying (40 °C, 45 °C, 55 °C), which can also be adjusted to room temperature, which can be adjusted according to their own habits to make "drying farts" more comfortable.
What is the top smart toilet?
Nowadays, there are many smart toilet products for consumers to choose from at various price points, and brands are using the most cutting-edge technology on their flagship smart toilets. Winter Solstice A7 as the Toshiba brand under the smart toilet cover and smart toilet top products, it can be said that Toshiba in the past many years in the toilet design accumulation and the current latest technology are used, simple and atmospheric design, foam wall, warm antibacterial, intelligent humanization have made it a very advanced, while using very comfortable excellent integrated smart toilet products.
As a product plugged in the bathroom, the safety of the smart toilet is also very important, Toshiba A7 provides a total of 7 safety protections in this regard: water pressure protection, leakage protection, waterproof protection, flame retardant protection, composition protection, water temperature protection, wind temperature protection, to maximize the user's personal safety. (Because the full decoration was not completed when shooting, it is still an ordinary socket panel that is used, if it is for daily use, this is an unqualified case; Personally recommend plugging in the smart toilet socket on the panel to install a bathroom panel waterproof box. ）
summary
The product design and stacking workmanship of Toshiba Smart Toilet A7 vividly reflect the appearance of a top-level smart toilet, and the intelligent design based on real use scenarios makes it more easy to use, which can make me feel the convenience, cleanliness and comfort brought by technology, but also do not feel the existence of technology too much.
The daily price of Toshiba A7 is basically 6999 yuan, and the price of Tmall 618 is not more than 5999 yuan (remember to go to the 618 home venue in advance to get 300 yuan official subsidy coupons, and then pay attention to whether the 88VIP is superimposed, you will receive unexpected surprises!). ), the event limited time to give away consumables gift package, hoarding consumables is still as necessary as daily necessities.
Friends who pay attention to the smart toilet may wish to consider this one, and quietly say that you can tell the customer service that it is GT's friend, there will be additional preferential surprises.
