Is it worth installing a smart toilet at home?
The latest frontier of responsible consumption on the forum isn't energy saving, but automated hygiene: the smart toilet. While some users defend the technological superiority of Japanese systems with water jets and heated seats, others question the hygiene of a nozzle that, however self-cleaning it may be, raises doubts about bacteria buildup in critical areas.
Technology versus the old-school bidet
The debate splits between those who consider the traditional bidet a relic and those who see these devices as an unnecessary risk. Enthusiasts highlight the comfort of automated functions, while skeptics wonder about sensor accuracy: what happens if the jet misses its target? The discussion quickly turns to irony, with users questioning whether we really need AI to analyze our diet through what we leave in the bowl.
Skepticism toward sanitary pogre
Beyond the joke, there lies a deep distrust of any "intelligence" added to such a basic object. Concern about the hygiene of internal components, versus the simplicity of wet wipes or the good old bidet, marks the dividing line. In the end, the debate remains stuck on whether this is a real improvement in quality of life or just an expensive gadget that complicates what has always worked without electronics.
Are we witnessing a genuine bathroom revolution, or just another tech whim that will end up causing maintenance problems and questionable hygiene?
