Comparing TOTO NEOREST Toilets in 2024
TOTO's NEOREST® smart toilets brings you the best in cleanliness, wellness, sustainability and beautiful, innovative design.
Before comparing the NEOREST® models we want to explain why TOTO has earned such international acclaim for their NEOREST® series.
If you wish to skip the explanation, just scroll down to the "COMPARING TOTO NEOREST® TOILETS" section.
*TOTO recently brought in three new designs that have replaced some of the previous models. For the most part the features are very similar. We realize that it can be confusing to differentiate the options, so please reach out to us directly for assistance. Our recent updates can be found (in red) throughout this article.
CLEAN SYNERGY:
Toto's proprietary features mean less time spent cleaning, less harsh cleaning chemicals used, less harmful exposure for you and your family to those chemicals, less chemical pollution in our environment.
CEFIONTECT®
Cefiontect® is an extremely durable and ultra-smooth glaze that is burned on top of the conventional glaze on the surface of the Toto Neorest® bowl. Conventional glazes have gaps where waste particles can attach to.
Toto Cefionetect®'s surface ridges measure 1 nanometer (1 millionth of a millimeter) which is way too small for waste to cling to. Cefiontect is hydrophilic, meaning it attracts water, and as such allows the flush water to rinse away waste instantly.
TORNADO FLUSH®
Tornado Flush® is an extremely powerful, yet quiet centrifugal flush that reaches all areas of the bowl. Tornado Flush® cleans effectively while also using less water. Toto's dynamic water jet discharges, swirling around the curves at a constant pressure flush starts. The entire bowl is washed clean. No supplemental flushes are required.
The NEOREST NX1 bowl is Rimless so there are no hidden nooks where waste and dirt can hide. When you do have to clean, it is easier to access all areas of the bowl.
The NEOREST RS, AS and LS models have a hole-free rim design that keeps the bowl clean and is easy to maintain.
EWATER+
Ewater+ is actually electrolyzed water, which is made using the sodium chloride ions in ordinary tap water. By electrolysing regular tap water the water becomes more acidic and can clean surfaces powerfully, while remaining harmless to humans and to the environment.
This technology has been used for many years in the food industry, but Toto has built it into their NEOREST® and WASHLET® technology.
As the user approaches the toilet, the TOTO NEOREST performs a PreMist of ordinary water on the bowl, making it easier to keep clean.
Ewater is also used to thoroughly clean the inside and out side of the wand both before and after use. Ewater is also used to clean the bowl every 8 hours during standby mode.
The wand is made of a high-quality waste and stain-resistant resin that is sprayed with Ewater before and after every use. The seat is coated in a clean resin that acts like a protective layer against dirt.
The new NEOREST models (AS, LS, NX1, NX2) now spray Ewater under the seat, as well as on the wand and bowl, for extra cleaning power.
WELLNESS:
WONDERWAVE® technology is TOTO's aerated water technology, that makes for a softer feeling, yet more thorough cleanse, while economizing on water.
With TOTO NEOREST® you get 6 different wash modes that vary in the spray pattern and droplet size and pressure, depending on what you need:
Rear Cleansing mode
Rear Soft Cleansing mode
Front Cleansing mode
Wide Front Cleansing mode
Oscillating Cleansing
Pulsating Cleansing
You can also adjust the wand position and choose 1 of 5 pressure settings.
COMFORT:
TOTO NEORESTS each have a sensor that detects the user approaching and will gently Auto-Open the lid, inviting the user to sit. Once the user departs the lid will softly Auto-Close. The settings are dialled in so that the lid open and close functions only activates when you want it to, keeping your bathroom vibe peaceful.
Soft Light emanates from the NEOREST® (either the from the back or from the bowl, depending on the NEOREST model) at night as you approach, allowing you to visit without having to turn the bathroom lights on.
As the sensor detects the user approach the TOTO NEOREST® Heated Seat warms up to a comfortable temperature.
Once the user is seated, the Deodorizer function begins to remove odors and continues to do so right after the user has left. Odors are sucked back into the unit through a carbon filter, keeping the bathroom smelling fresh.
The Warm Air Dryer is adjustable and can be activated after the warm water wash.
Auto-Flush happens automatically after the user stands up and moves away from the NEOREST®, maintaining a hygienic, touchless experience.
