How to Choose the Right Smart Toilet

When shopping for a smart toilet or shower toilet on shower-toilet-centre.co.uk, it helps to consider a few key points so you end up with the perfect match for your bathroom and your daily routine.


1. Features & Functions

Decide which features are truly important for you and your household. Common options include:

  • Bidet functionality – adjustable warm-water wash for front and rear cleansing

  • Heated seat – with adjustable temperature for extra comfort in colder months

  • Self-cleaning nozzles – automatic rinsing before and after use for better hygiene

  • Warm air dryer – reduces or replaces the need for toilet paper

  • Deodorisation – built-in odour extraction or carbon filters

  • Soft-closing seat and lid – no more slamming noises

  • Automatic flushing (on some models)

  • Night-light – discreet illumination for night-time visits

  • Music or ambient lighting (on selected high-end models)

Make a short list of “must-have” and “nice-to-have” features and choose a model that fits your priorities, not just what looks most high-tech.


2. Size, Shape & Fit

Smart toilets and shower toilets come in different shapes and configurations:

  • Integrated smart toilets vs. smart bidet seats for existing WCs

  • Wall-hung vs. floor-standing models

  • Elongated, D-shape or compact designs

Measure:

  • The length and width of your existing toilet (if you’re fitting a smart seat)

  • The distance to side walls or furniture

  • The available projection into the room

This ensures the model you choose fits comfortably and looks well-proportioned in your bathroom. If you’re unsure, you can always email us photos and measurements and we’ll be happy to advise.


3. Water & Energy Efficiency

A good smart toilet should be comfortable, hygienic and efficient:

  • Look for dual-flush or low-flush systems to reduce water consumption.

  • Many modern models use optimised flush volumes while still providing effective cleaning of the bowl.

  • Check whether the product has energy-saving modes, timers or occupancy sensors to minimise electricity use for seat and water heating.

Over time, lower water usage and reduced toilet paper consumption can offset part of your investment.


4. Installation & Compatibility

Before ordering, consider your current bathroom setup:

  • Plumbing: Does your installation use a concealed cistern and frame, or a close-coupled toilet? Is there an accessible water connection near the WC?

  • Electrics: Most smart toilets require a standard 230V earthed socket nearby. In many cases, an electrician may be needed to add a suitable outlet.

  • Compatibility: Ensure the model is compatible with UK plumbing standards and your existing frame or cistern where applicable.

Some smart bidet seats can be installed by a competent DIYer following the instructions. Fully integrated smart toilets or wall-hung systems are usually best installed by a qualified plumber (and electrician if new wiring is required).


5. Brand, Warranty & Aftercare

We specialise in premium, proven brands with solid after-sales support. When comparing options:

  • Choose reputable manufacturers with established service networks and available spare parts.

  • Check the warranty period (all products we sell come with at least 2 years warranty, and some brands offer more when registered).

  • Consider the availability of service and technical support in the UK.

Buying through shower-toilet-centre.co.uk means you are supported by a specialist team with years of experience in shower toilets and smart bidet technology.


6. Controls, Remote & Smart Connectivity

Think about how you prefer to control your toilet:

  • Side control panels – always attached, easy for most users

  • Remote controls – ideal for wall mounting at a comfortable height

  • App connectivity (on selected models) – allows personalised settings, user profiles and sometimes usage statistics

If multiple people will use the toilet, user presets and clear, intuitive controls become especially valuable.


7. Budget & Value for Money

Smart toilets and shower toilets span a wide price range, from entry-level seats to luxury integrated systems.

  • Set a realistic budget based on your renovation or upgrade plans.

  • Focus on long-term value – a reliable, well-supported model with fewer issues is often the smarter choice than the cheapest option.

  • Remember to factor in potential installation costs and any additional accessories or frames you might need.


8. User Reviews & Independent Feedback

Before making your final choice:

  • Read customer reviews on our product pages to see real-life experiences and feedback.

  • Check comments on comfort, durability, noise level and ease of cleaning.

  • Look for repeated themes – both positive and negative – to understand how a product behaves in everyday use.


9. Maintenance & Cleaning

For hassle-free ownership:

  • Look for models with self-cleaning nozzles, removable seats and smooth, rimless ceramics that are easy to wipe down.

  • Check whether filters or deodorisation cartridges are easy to replace and how often this is recommended.

  • Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage surfaces or seals.

A little regular care goes a long way towards keeping your smart toilet fresh, hygienic and reliable.
