Japanese toilet vs traditional toilet
Share
Is it worth replacing your ordinary toilet with a Japanese smart toilet? In this comparison we go through the main differences between a Japanese toilet and a traditional toilet so you can make an informed decision.
1. Hygiene: water versus paper
The biggest difference. A traditional toilet relies on toilet paper; a Japanese toilet cleans with warm water, more thoroughly and gently. The result: better hygiene and a cleaner feeling.
2. Comfort
A Japanese toilet adds a heated seat, plus water and drying at your chosen temperature. A traditional toilet offers none of this, which is especially noticeable in winter.
3. Less contact
On both eQiik models flushing is automatic, and on the eQiik Pro the lid and seat also open and close by themselves. Less contact with surfaces. With a traditional toilet, everything is manual.
4. Accessibility
For older people and those with reduced mobility or disabilities, the automatic washing and drying of a Japanese toilet make hygiene easier and support independence. A traditional toilet demands more physical effort.
5. Paper savings and sustainability
With a Japanese toilet you drastically reduce how much toilet paper you use: better for your wallet and for the environment.
6. Cost and maintenance
A traditional toilet is cheaper to begin with, but a Japanese toilet brings everyday benefits for years. With the eQiik smart toilet (eQiik for €499, was €599; eQiik Pro for €599, was €699) you get Japanese technology at a Spanish price, with a 3-year warranty and our own technical service.
Conclusion
If you value hygiene, comfort and accessibility, a Japanese toilet is a clear improvement over a traditional toilet. And with eQiik, you make the switch with the peace of mind of a Spanish brand that's there for you.
