Sorry for the "strong" title of this article but honestly I think you share with me that this 2020, as the saying goes, is a bad year. With the right outburst we begin to talk about the protagonist of today, that is a smart toilet that integrates a heating system as well as a self-cleaning system that allows you to eliminate all types of bacteria and germs and which naturally debuts on Xaomi's crowdfunding platform Youpin.
The smart toilet comes through the VIOMI brand, a satellite company of Lei Jun's brand, known for a series of intelligent and rather revolutionary appliances. The design of the sanitary is rather simple although it reminds a lot of that of the more traditional ceramic sanitary ware made in Italy. With dimensions of 685 x 384 x 472 mm, the Viomi toilet is made of porcelain and high-strength ABS plastic, coated with a material that allows better cleaning as well as offers greater resistance to dirt in general.
2020: a year to throw away? Better if smart like Xiaomi's new Viomi toilet
But going beyond the aesthetic aspect, the features that make this toilet an interesting product, we find in the soul, such as the presence of an antibacterial ABS plastic valve that allows the cleaning of our intimate areas, after having fulfilled our needs , like a traditional bidet. But in addition to performing this function, the valve also allows you to clean the inside of the toilet itself, combining pressurized water and hot air in order to clean and eliminate germs and bacteria, reaching a sterilization rate of 99,9%.
But the smart functions do not end here as the Viomi WC integrates a remote control with which to configure the operation, such as the possibility of heating the tablet for greater comfort during the most intense sessions during the winter. The lid also integrates a soft closing system, progressive anti-shock, avoiding the annoying thud that ruins the porcelain of our sanitary if the tablet escapes from the hands, perhaps during the cleaning of the same.
The Viomi toilet has already passed the required crowdfunding threshold, where it is offered at a price of 1999 yuan, or about 235 euros at the current exchange rate, with shipments starting on 1 June 2020.
