So, what’s so great about them? The better question is, what isn’t? It might not be a Tesla, but a high-tech toilet comes pretty close! These “super toilets” are available in a range of prices and styles and are designed for comfort, cleanliness, and convenience to help improve your private bathroom time. Not only that, but these newer models come with the [EPA WaterSense](https://www.epa.gov/watersense/residential-toilets) label to help your toilet [use less water](https://www.expresssewer.com/blog/bid/360003/how-high-efficiency-toilets-reduce-water-usage), maintain superior performance, and lower your monthly water bill. With all the modern features being added to toilet designs, it’s safe to say these super toilets are giving [average toilets](https://www.expresssewer.com/blog/how-the-average-toilet-works) a run for their money. ## What Makes a Toilet High-Tech? ![efficient_toilet](https://www.expresssewer.com/hs-fs/hubfs/efficient_toilet.png?width=650&height=433&name=efficient_toilet.png) Now that your curiosity is piqued, let’s take a look at some of the [most popular and innovative features](https://www.thespruce.com/reasons-to-buy-new-super-toilet-326978) you should look for when shopping for a high-tech toilet. ### #1 Built-In Night Lights No more stumbling in the dark or turning on the bright bathroom light at 2 a.m! Several high-tech toilets come with built-in night lights that glow up the inside of the bowl, allowing you to find your way into the bathroom without turning on every light along the way. Some toilets will even let you change the light color! ### #2 Integrated Bidets If you haven’t heard of [a bidet](https://www.expresssewer.com/blog/is-it-time-to-consider-a-bidet) before, then you’ve been living under the wrong toilet bowl. First made popular with European and Japanese toilet designs, this personal hygiene tool lets out a light stream of water that leaves you refreshed and cleaner than if you just used toilet paper. [Added features](https://www.bidet.org/blogs/news/17812560-top-10-features-of-an-electronic-bidet-toilet-seat) found in some bidet toilet seats include: - Adjustable water temperature - Adjustable water pressure - Heated seat - Self-cleaning nozzles - A heated air dryer ### #3 Bluetooth Speakers Yes, you read that right: Bluetooth speakers (as if you needed another reason to sit on the toilet scrolling through your phone). Some high-tech toilets feature Bluetooth, like the [Kohler Numi](https://newatlas.com/kohler-numi-toilet/27223/). This toilet’s receiver reads the Bluetooth signal from your smartphone or iPad and lets you stream music directly to your phone. It also has an SD card slot that allows you to set up a bathroom playlist, and even program a personalized greeting for guests using your bathroom. After all, who doesn’t want a friendly toilet playing rainforest soundtracks? ### #4 Touch-Screen Remote Virtually all high-tech toilets come with a remote control that allows you to operate the toilet’s features and adjust them to your liking. You may not be able to turn on the TV from the bathroom just yet, but you can adjust your Bluetooth music and operate the bidet features, like the seat warmer. The remote is especially helpful for those with limited mobility. ### #5 Dual-Flush Action [Dual-flush toilets](https://www.expresssewer.com/blog/the-best-high-efficiency-toilets-on-the-market) have been used by Europeans for a few decades, but it’s a wonder no one else has been using them as long! Dual-flush toilets use two separate valves with their own flush speeds (partial speed for liquids, and full speed for solids). These toilets minimize the risk of clogs compared to standard toilets and use 68% less water than low-flow toilets, which helps generate savings over time. High-tech toilet use is quickly gaining speed, but not everyone can afford to live like the Jetsons. Prices can range from $400 to $8,000. There’s even one toilet, the [Neorest ](https://www.totousa.com/neorest-750h-dual-flush-toilet-10-and-08-gpf-with-actilight)[750](https://www.totousa.com/neorest-750h-dual-flush-toilet-10-and-08-gpf-with-actilight)[h](https://www.totousa.com/neorest-750h-dual-flush-toilet-10-and-08-gpf-with-actilight), that costs $10,000! However, if you feel your budget can fit the bill, some popular high-tech toilet brands include: - Kohler - TOTO - American Standard - SensoWash ### #6 Warmed Toilet Seat One of the standout features of high-tech toilets is the warmed seat, which adds a luxurious touch to the bathroom experience. These seats are typically equipped with built-in heating elements that are powered by electricity. Using a control panel or remote, users can adjust the seat's temperature to their preference, ensuring comfort during colder months or in chilly climates. Some models even come with sensors that activate the heating function only when the toilet is in use, conserving energy. This feature not only enhances comfort but also creates a more inviting and modern bathroom environment. ## Ready to Install a High-Tech Toilet?
