If you're planning a bathroom upgrade in Perth, a smart toilet is probably somewhere on your wish list. In this guide we'll walk through what a Lafeme smart toilet actually is, the features worth paying for, how it stacks up against a bidet seat, and which models in our smart toilets collection are turning heads right now.
What Is a Smart Toilet?
A smart toilet combines a bidet wash function, heated seat, warm air dryer and deodoriser into one sleek unit, usually controlled by a remote or a wall-mounted panel. Instead of running a separate bidet alongside your toilet, everything is built into a single suite. The Lafeme range adds self-cleaning nozzles, rimless bowls and energy-saving modes, making these toilets as practical as they are indulgent.
Why Perth Buyers Are Switching to Smart Toilets
Improved personal hygiene, reduced toilet paper use, and a genuine boost to everyday comfort are the big drivers. For older Australians and anyone with mobility considerations, a heated seat and hands-free wash and dry can make the bathroom noticeably easier to use. And with hotel-style ensuite renovations on the rise across Western Australia, a smart toilet has become a real drawcard for resale value too.
Key Smart Toilet Features to Compare
Not all smart toilets are created equal. When comparing models, look closely at a few things: whether the cistern is in-wall or floor-standing, whether the bowl is rimless (easier to clean, better hygiene), and whether UV sterilisation is included.
Flushing Plate Finishes
One detail worth weighing is the flushing plate finish — that's the push-button panel mounted on the wall. The Lafeme AutoLux, Lafeme Crawford and Lafeme Sesto each come in brushed bronze, brushed nickel, brushed gold, matte black and matte white — so you can match the plate to your tapware and other fixtures for a cohesive, considered look.

How Much Do Smart Toilets Cost?

- Fully integrated smart toilets from around $3,285 up to $5,040, depending on cistern type and features.
- Electric bidet seats from around $1,179 — a lower-cost way to add washing and heated seating to your existing toilet.
- Manual bidet seats from around $200 — the most affordable entry point, with no power required.

Smart Toilet or Bidet Seat: Which Is Right for You?
If you're not ready for a full smart toilet, a bidet seat is the budget-friendly entry point — it fits onto your existing toilet pan. Our Lafeme electric bidet seats add heated seating and warm water washing, while the Lafeme manual bidet seats bring a posterior and feminine wash with no power needed — ideal for renters or bathrooms without a nearby power point. The seat is the easy upgrade; the smart toilet is the full integrated experience.
Smart Toilet Installation in Perth
In-wall cistern models — like the AutoLux, Crawford and Sesto — need a licensed plumber to install the concealed cistern and connect the water supply, and they also require a power point nearby to run the smart functions. It's worth planning the power and plumbing early in your renovation so everything sits exactly where you want it. The Neovanta and bidet seats are more straightforward, but a smart toilet still needs power and water at the pan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do smart toilets need a power point?
Yes. Smart toilets and electric bidet seats need a nearby power point to run the heated seat, warm water wash and dryer. Manual bidet seats are the exception — they need no power at all.
Are smart toilets hard to install?
Bidet seats are a simple upgrade onto your existing pan. Full smart toilets, especially in-wall cistern models, should be fitted by a licensed plumber, and you'll want a power point positioned nearby.
Do smart toilets work during a power outage?
Most Lafeme smart toilets include a manual flush function so you can still flush during a power outage, though the heated seat, wash and dryer features won't operate until power is restored.
What is a rimless smart toilet?
A rimless bowl removes the traditional hidden rim where grime builds up, making the toilet easier to clean and more hygienic. The AutoLux and Sesto both feature rimless bowls.
Can I match the flushing plate to my bathroom fixtures?
Yes. The AutoLux, Crawford and Sesto flushing plates come in brushed bronze, brushed nickel, brushed gold, matte black and matte white, so you can coordinate with your tapware and other fixtures.
