The Smart Toilet
In a world becoming increasingly revolved around technology, people are forced to switch out the old for the new. Almost everyone has a smartphone, smart TV, or smart watch these days. The next smart move is towards toilets.
Smart toilets were first introduced in Japan. Many Japanese and European homes have adopted smart toilets. In the U.S. they are quickly gaining popularity. They started out targeting high-end clients because the cost can range from $4,000 to $10,000. Now that the toilets have started to get more buzz the prices are projected to drop.
Now consumers have the option to buy a smart toilet costing anywhere from $300 to $2,000. This allows people to experience a smart toilet without making as high of an investment.
What’s the hype?
Do you live with somebody that doesn’t flush? Do you have a family member that forgets? If you have ever lived with a non-flusher, you know the feeling. If you have young children, they often forget to flush and may even try to see how much toilet paper, racecars, or legos they can fit into the toilet! This can lead to clogs and overflows.
Smart toilets have technology that helps reduce these issues. When it senses a clog, it will keep the water levels low until the problem is fixed to avoid overflow.
One of the biggest benefits of a smart toilet is its health tracking abilities. This can be a big help to people with diabetes. The toilet will analyze the urine and send you a report. It can read sugar levels and volume, keeping you informed on your health.
