Best Smart Shower Toilets for Colorado 2026: Clean, Safe Comfort

It’s easy to overlook the one space in your home you use every single day: the bathroom.  But think about it.  While nearly every part of modern life has evolved, most toilets haven’t changed much since the 1950s.   For families prioritizing cleanliness, comfort, or accessibility, that’s a problem.

And that’s precisely why smart shower toilets are taking off across Colorado and the country.

These high-tech upgrades offer more than just a sleek design.  They deliver a hygienic, hands-free, spa-like experience every time you go.   So whether you're renovating your primary bath or planning an age-in-place upgrade, here’s what you need to know—and which three models truly stand out in 2025.

Traditional Toilets Haven’t Kept Up

Let’s face it: toilets aren’t as clean as we like to think.  According to an article published by Initial Washroom Hygiene, the average toilet contains 3.2 million colony-forming units (CFUs) of bacteria per square inch, including the toilet water.  Other potential concerns with traditional toilets may include:

• Toilet paper isn’t fully effective:  Not only is it wasteful, but it also fails to ensure proper cleanliness.  Research by the University of Colorado showed that even after wiping, significant amounts of bacteria can persist on the skin.
• Wasteful:  The EPA confirms older model toilets use over 3 gallons per flush
• Uncomfortable or hard to use:  Especially for older adults or anyone with mobility issues

In short, many view them as outdated, inefficient, and often unhygienic.  And for those with arthritis or balance issues?  Flushing or twisting on a cold seat can pose a real health hazard.

Meanwhile, cleaning these old units is a chore, requiring frequent scrubbing and disinfectants to keep up.

Enter the Smart Shower Toilet

Now imagine this:
A toilet that senses your presence, opens automatically, gently cleans you with warm water, dries you with warm air, and even sanitizes itself.

That’s the promise of the modern smart shower toilet—and it’s not just a luxury anymore.  These units are making everyday life cleaner, more comfortable, and surprisingly sustainable.

Whether you choose to partner with HomePride for your bathroom project—or want to explore your options—we believe every homeowner deserves clear, helpful information to make the best decision possible.  If smart toilets have piqued your curiosity, you're in the right place. 

We've done the research, sorted through the noise, and compiled our top five picks for smart shower toilets, along with the key reasons they stand out and the real-world benefits they can bring to your home and daily life.

The Top 5 Smart Shower Toilets in 2025

We’ve evaluated dozens of models using homeowner reviews, feature sets, expert testing, and value for money.   Based on expert third-party reviews, popularity, and user satisfaction, here are the five top-rated smart shower toilets leading the pack in 2025.

1.  Kohler Veil/Karing

Best for: Premium design lovers who want reliability and elegance

For over 150 years, Kohler has been a trusted name in American bathrooms.  Known for lasting quality and reliability, its products have topped third-party lists for decades, and its Veil and Karing models are no exception.

Highlights:

• Front and rear cleansing wands with adjustable temp and pressure

• Heated seat with warm air dryer

• Hands-free auto open/close lid

• Built-in deodorizer and night light

• Self-cleaning and intuitive remote control

Drawbacks:

• This model offers a single flush only

• Its elongated egg-shaped design may not appeal to all users

Why It Wins:
It’s sleek, reliable, and deeply comfortable.  The Veil and Karing offer everything you'd expect from a luxury smart toilet, backed by Kohler's U.S.-based customer support.  

Modern and space-saving, this smart toilet from Kohler brings a minimalist aesthetic that fits seamlessly into any bathroom design.  It’s packed with thoughtful features, including a self-cleaning wand, a warm-air dryer, adjustable temperature controls, and hands-free seat operation. 

An LED light softly illuminates the bowl at night for added convenience.  And with a WaterSense-certified single flush that uses just 1.28 gallons per flush, it strikes a smart balance between performance and efficiency, right in line with the best models on our list.

2.  American Standard Advanced Clean 100 SpaLet

Best for: Families, seniors, and energy-conscious households

Don’t let the mid-range price fool you.  This model is packed with thoughtful features for everyday ease.

Highlights:

• Auto lid, seat, and flush

• 5 bidet spray temps and customizable modes

• Warm air dryer and deodorizer

• WaterSense certified for efficiency

• Soft-close seat and night light

Drawbacks:

• Sits lower to the ground than other models

Why It Wins:
This is the most approachable, all-around model we’ve seen.  It is excellent for families, aging homeowners, or anyone who values comfort without excess complexity.  With five seat temperatures, customizable water settings, a warm-air dryer, and automatic flushing, this model offers a highly personalized and comfortable experience. 

Multiple nozzles provide targeted cleansing options, making it feel more like a spa than a standard toilet.  One standout convenience?  The seat lifts and closes on its own—no reminders needed.  Plus, a built-in night light provides just the right amount of glow for late-night visits, without blinding brightness.

3.  Woodbridge B‑0960S

Best for: Streamlined, feature-rich performance at a still-refined price

This sleek model delivers many of the advanced features found in premium options.  In fact, Good Housekeeping praised the B-0960S for its high-end capabilities and seamless, one-piece design.

Highlights:

• Dual front/rear cleansing with adjustable pressure and temperature

• Heated seat with automatic opening/closing lid

• Warm air dryer and LED night light

• Self-cleaning nozzle system

Drawbacks:

• Materials lack durability when compared to other smart toilet models
  

• Larger tank may make seating awkward

Why It Wins:
What sets this model apart is its versatile bidet system. You’ll find multiple wash modes (like posterior and feminine wash), along with adjustable water temperature and pressure. It even includes a touchscreen remote that can be handheld or wall-mounted depending on your setup—an especially helpful detail for users with limited mobility.

The sleek, one-piece design gives it a modern look, and the integrated tank keeps the profile clean. However, it’s worth noting that the larger tank does create a bit of extra bulk at the back, which might feel a little forward-pitched at first. And while it looks refined, the material build may not match the durability of premium-tier brands.

HomePride Tip: Before choosing this or any model, double-check your bathroom layout—especially the location of your water valve and nearby electrical outlet.  Smart toilets like this one require both for proper installation.

4.  Kohler Innate

Best for: Those wanting elegance and Kohler reliability in an all-in-one unit

This is the second Kohler product to make our list.  And not just ours.  Other respected third parties including Good Housekeeping, Giving Tree Home, Wayfair, and various owner ratings and reviews place this model at the top of their lists as well.  

Kohler’s Innate updates the one-piece smart toilet category with luxury touches.  According to a tester from Good Housekeeping, “I really appreciate the bidet features … The auto flush is amazing, it’s nice to look at, and it’s much easier to clean than a regular toilet.”

Highlights include:

• Discreet dual nozzles for front/rear washing

• Automatic lid and flush

• Warm air dryer and heated seat

• Minimalist aesthetic with easy-to-clean surfaces

Drawbacks:

• This model sits higher in price than other models

• Its larger design may not be suitable for smaller spaces

Why It Wins:
The Innate combines refined styling with advanced features, meeting expectations for luxury and low maintenance.  It also checks all the boxes our pros look for in a high-performance toilet—starting with a water-efficient 1.28 gallons per flush, earning it EPA WaterSense certification.  The dual-flush option adds even more control.  Its comfort-height seat makes sitting and standing easier, especially for those planning to age in place. 

Paired with hands-free, hygienic cleaning, it’s a smart upgrade that supports both independence and daily comfort.

5.  EPLO Smart Toilet

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers who want luxury features

EPLO is newer to the market, but it’s making a splash—pun intended—and turning heads fast.  It’s rapidly climbed the ranks on trusted review platforms like Good Housekeeping, Trustpilot, and popular YouTube channels, thanks to its impressive lineup of user-friendly features and everyday conveniences paired with a budget-friendly price tag.

Highlights:

• Foot-sensor flush and hands-free operation

• LED display showing temps for seat and water

• Instant warm water and deodorizer

• Heated seat and self-cleaning nozzle

• IAPMO-certified for performance and safety

Drawbacks:

• Sits lower to the ground than other models

Why It Wins:
You get high-end functionality at a fraction of the price.  The EPLO is a standout option for first-time smart toilet buyers or rental property upgrades.

Where the EPLO really stands out is in its innovation.  It’s one of the only models we’ve seen with foot-sensor flushing and an LED screen that displays both air and water temperature—a thoughtful touch that enhances usability and accessibility.

One tradeoff?  Unlike comfort-height toilets (typically around 17 inches), the EPLO’s standard 15.6-inch seat height may be less ideal for older adults or those with mobility issues.

Still, when it comes to reliability, it doesn’t fall short.  The EPLO is certified by reputable industry organizations, including the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO).  It’s also earned strong reviews from homeowners on Amazon, many of whom say it’s the best value they’ve found in a space dominated by four-figure models.

What Science Says: Why Smart Toilets Are Worth It

Still on the fence?  Here’s what the science says —and why a smart toilet upgrade goes beyond comfort.  These features can lead to real improvements in hygiene, health, and even utility costs:

• Cleaner Skin:  Hospital and university studies show that smart toilets with automated flush, sterilizing nozzles, and drying cycles reduce bacteria by up to 75% compared to standard models and the use of toilet paper
  
  
• Fewer Germs:  Hands-free flushing and self-cleaning systems lower contamination risks
  
  
• Lower Bills:   Water-efficient models use less than half the water of traditional toilets, supporting Colorado’s water conservancy efforts
  
  
• Better for Aging in Place:  Adjustable heights and hands-free functions support independence and better functionality, while water shower features eliminate the need to wipe, a bonus for those with arthritic conditions
