The Best Smart Bathroom Appliance Brands (& Ones To Steer Clear Of)

Is it time to raise your bathroom's IQ? Well, as of 2024, almost 70 million American homes use smart features, according to Oberlo, and the rate should increase by 10.2% annually until 2028. Americans are demanding more smart products to create a better bathroom experience. Automation, personalization settings, voice control, adjustable water temperature, and even cheaper bills are just some of the perks that make this enhancement worthwhile. Upgrading to smart toilets and faucets can help eco-conscious homeowners conserve water, while smart light sensors or power strips help cut down on electrical costs and energy consumption.

Toilets sit comfortably at the top of the list of popular smart bathroom appliances, with almost 36% of the product revenue in 2022. Their popularity stems from motion-activated seats and self-cleaning features. Are you leery about touching faucets and spreading germs? Smart faucets have non-touch features like sensors, making them more popular during COVID-19. Heated floors, smart mirrors, and showers are among the growing items you can expect to see in more homes.

With so many smart brands and models to consider, be aware that all aren't equal in quality and function. Based on expert and customer reviews, some of the best brands include Kohler, Woodbridge, EPLO, Fontana, and TOTO. While the Moen brand is usually well-regarded, you may need to think twice about buying a Moen Smart Shower 4-Outlet Digital Shower Controller — it only has two stars on Home Depot. With the following list, you can make your bathroom as smart as Einstein in 2025.

Are smart toilets worth it? They are a worthy purchase when you consider how much water you can save each time you relieve yourself. You waste about 1.6 gallons of water after using a standard toilet, but if you still have old toilets built prior to 1992, they may be using up to 3.5 to 7 gallons per flush! Compare that to smart options that can reduce that waste by a gallon as they sense how much water a flush needs. A WaterSense-approved model can help an average family conserve almost 13,000 gallons annually. 

Do you or someone in your home have mobility concerns? Thanks to automated lid opening and closing, adjustable seat heights, and touch-free flushing, seniors or others with limited mobility can enjoy greater accessibility and independence. WOODBRIDGE B0960S Auto Flush has an over 4-star rating on Amazon and includes automation, air purification, warm air drying, (Americans with Disabilities Act) ADA compliant height, and various hygienic wash features. If cleaning toilets is your least favorite chore or you're a germaphobe, self-cleaning features and touch-free flushing that reduce surface contact may be another reason to install one. Enjoy even more hygiene by finding a toilet with an integrated bidet like the KOHLER Dual Flush Elongated Toilet in White w/Sunrise Gold Trim.

If you're not ready to make the full switch to a smart toilet, consider the highly rated and affordable TOTO SW3074#01 WASHLET C2. Available for $289 with a 4.4-star rating on Amazon, this bidet toilet seat can fit over your existing toilet and provides deodorizing, warm air drying, self-toilet bowl cleaning, and personalized water cleansing.

Imagine waking up, creeping into the bathroom, and saying, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, what's the fairest day of all?" as a perfect 80 degrees and sunshine symbol appears on your mirror. So, what can a smart mirror do in your bathroom besides ensuring you look good in the morning and know the weather? This enhanced bathroom appliance is a two-way mirror with an internal computer that displays a touchscreen of various widgets with information like the time, music, and video streaming, and offers security by allowing you to see visitors at the door — all while applying makeup or trimming your beard.

Whether you're a busy executive or college student, use your smart mirror to be as productive as possible during your morning routine by checking work emails or planning new traffic routes. Just like your computer or phone, you can customize this bathroom appliance to display the widgets you need the most.

Some of the best options to consider include the BYECOLD 48"x24" Smart Bathroom Mirror, Bonnlo 32"×24" (800×600mm) Bluetooth Mirror, and the STARLEAD 28"x36" LED-Bathroom-Mirror-with-Light. However, be careful buying the Vilros Magic Mirror V4-2 Way Mirror with Internal LCD Screen. It has a passable 3.5-star Amazon rating, likely due to some complaints about its build quality and the fact that you must construct it yourself.

Are you tired of walking on cold bathroom floors in the winter months? If so, you can install a bathroom appliance that will allow heat to not only warm your feet but make the whole area feel snug: heated floors. Heated or radiant floor heating systems are a flooring upgrade that's totally worth the splurge if you want an efficient way to heat your room from the bottom up. These floors use hot water pipes or electric wires to create heat that radiates upwards. So, how is this a smart appliance? Like other smart bathroom features, you can control the temperature with a programmable thermostat or Wi-Fi system to heat it when and as much as you need.

If you have a smaller bathroom, this system allows you to save space, since you won't need bulky radiators or make room for heating vents. Once you install the system, you can expect to enjoy the low-maintenance smart appliance for at least 20 years. Enjoy peace without a noisy system that relies on a furnace. Do you worry about allergies or air quality? This system won't circulate allergens, dust, or breed mold in ducts. Do you feel confident enough to install your own system? Consider the highly-rated QuietWarmth System for Laminate, Vinyl, and Floating Floors from Home Depot that covers 30 sq. ft. You can get the QuietWarmth Programmable Floor Warming Thermostat, which also has 4.5 stars, separately. The SunTouch WarmWire Electric Floor Heating Kit is another 4.5-star-rated brand with a programmable thermostat, available for $621 on Amazon.

When you shower each morning, you want a comfortable experience that can cleanse and relax your body. Therefore, waiting several minutes for water to heat up or having to play around with knobs can eat into your morning routine. Luckily, with a smart shower, you preset your water flow rate and temperature, allowing you to save time. These presets can ensure everyone quickly has a safe water temperature level and can conserve water usage thanks to timer settings. If you have children, limiting how hot water can get is an essential safety feature to prevent scalding accidents.

If you want a simple and smart shower that you can install yourself, consider the Hai Smart 2-Spray Wall Mount Handheld Shower Head from Home Depot. So far, the reviews are 5-star, and concur that installation is fast and simple while supplying great water pressure. The 4.5-star-rated GROHE's Rainshower Smartconnect 310 2-Spray on Home Depot has two spray patterns and a wireless remote that reviewers say is easy to install with good remote settings for different users. However, you may want to avoid the KOHLER DTV Prompt Brushed Nickel 2.9375-in Shower Control Panel, which only has 2 stars in Lowe's, as complaints include a poor responsive touchscreen, app failure, disconnection from Alexa, and lack of customer service support for repair.

Another bathroom appliance that can save on water bills is the hands-free faucet since it only turns on when in use. You have seen them in airports and certain commercial spaces, and now you can show them off in your home too. Say goodbye to potential sink overflows, as you can't leave these types of faucets running accidentally.

With a 4.4-star rating on Amazon, the Derpras Touchless Faucet with Automatic Sensor costs $79.99 and has an easy adjustable temperature option. Many reviewers praise its easy installation and the quality function of the sensor. With 70% of its 1,000+ reviews being 5 stars, the Charmingwater Touchless Bathroom Sink Faucet is worth adding to the home. Don't worry about a blackout preventing hand washing, as it's battery-operated, but one user noted the battery may drain fast in some of them.

If you have a high-traffic bathroom, you can reduce germ contact — such as from Staphylococcus aureus (staph), Salmonella and E.coli — by not needing to touch faucet handles with dirty hands after using the toilet. This smart bathroom appliance can also help anyone needing greater accessibility in the home.
