Overview

  • Two Neorest models, LS-W and AS-W, priced from ¥493,900 to ¥542,300, will feature LED sensors embedded in the washlet to measure stool attributes across multiple levels.
  • Measurement data for up to six users syncs automatically to a dedicated app displaying monthly trend graphs, calendar logs and analysis of bowel tendencies.
  • Color is categorized into three tones, hardness into seven grades and volume in three levels.
  • TOTO aims to leverage consumer interest—76% of survey respondents visually inspect stool yet only 6% record data digitally—to drive annual sales of 7,300 units by year three.
  • The launch builds on TOTO’s health-focused product evolution since introducing the Washlet in 1980.
