Toilet bowls Toto: models and their characteristics

The requirements for plumbing today are strikingly different from the realities of past years. Today, plumbing should not only be comfortable and have a spectacular design. Compactness, practicality, hygiene and the highest comfort are ensured by the latest technology. Currently, suspended, rimless, electronic toilets are in demand. It is not surprising that Japan is at the forefront of the planet when it comes to innovation and high-tech plumbing equipment. The Toto toilet is a unique product in the sanitary ware market. Customer reviews about him are usually enthusiastic.

In modern apartments and houses, a bathroom is not a dirty place for waste. Japan's SIC Toto debunks plumbing myths by producing the world's best smart toilets. This large sanitary ware manufacturing center, established over 100 years ago, is located in Kyushu. An analogy is often drawn comparing this brand with the world-famous Yabloko. Back in the first half of the 20th century, the Japanese bought the rights to manufacture smart toilets from a US company. Several decades have passed, and Toto has become a world leader in manufacturing.

First of all, the purchase of a toilet bowl is associated with an assessment of the area of ​​the bathroom, its features, budget, style, personal preferences. Traditional and rimless designs are classified according to different parameters. The main criterion is the installation method, according to it, structures are distinguished:

• suspended - they are attached to the wall in different ways, depending on the chosen installation, the tank is hidden in the wall;
• attached - mounted on the floor, but the tank is built into the wall;
• floor toilets - the classic version, it can consist of a set "tank and bowl" or be a monolithic structure.

Each type has its own pros and cons. Suspended takes up little space, cleaning becomes convenient, access to all areas is open. But this model is the most expensive and requires complex installation. The attachment takes up little space, is stable, but there are areas where it is difficult to reach when cleaning.

The rimless version does not have a traditional rim in the bowl - this model is considered more hygienic, but their cost is higher. Toto is engaged in the production of various models of floor and pendant models, which, in addition to the basic functionality, have many features, for which they are called "smart". Toto sanitary ware has control units, which is carried out using a remote type. At the same time, the panel is located either in the structure itself, or separately hangs on the wall.

There are no canonical classifications of Japanese sanitary ware, therefore the most convenient, albeit conditional, division criterion is cost.

• Budget models... The most numerous row, in Japan, such plumbing is located both in apartments and in public places. Among the additional functionality in this segment, most often only heated seats and a bidet.
• Middle segment models... Wealthy people buy them. In addition, these models can be found in high-end restaurants and hotels around the world. The functionality is already richer here. For example, there is a built-in radio, in addition to heating and a bidet, you can adjust the water temperature and pressure.
• Elite lineup... These toilets are a true work of art, incorporating technological innovations.

In addition to its main purpose, plumbing is capable of performing many functions.

• Sounds... Since modesty and bashfulness are a characteristic feature of the Japanese, it is not surprising that they tried to disguise the direct functionality of plumbing with a variety of gadgets as effectively as possible. For example, the sounds of nature, music are included from the very beginning of the process of using the toilet, so that no sounds are heard.
• Bidet. This is not a very original function, however, the Japanese have managed to bring it to perfection. In addition to supplying water, in their toilets, you can choose a jets of a pulse, oscillating type, when water and air are mixed and supplied from a spout. You can adjust the degree of pressure, increase and decrease the temperature. There are also models with a female bidet.
• Drying... This is more than an original function that allows you to dry wet skin after using the bidet without getting up.
• Warm seat. It is available in all models, but it turns on in different ways - from a button or when sitting down. The temperature can be adjusted.
• Radio... This is more of an entertainment function, its purpose is to get rid of boredom.
• Washout. Of course, this function belongs to the main one, but in the toilet bowls of this company it is not quite usual. One model can have several types of flushing: standard, urine flush, reinforced type, flushing, tornado type. Moreover, the flush, as a rule, is electronic, but with a mechanical analogue, in case of a power outage.
• Deodorization... A number of toilets have a built-in freshener irrigation.
