The Time to Choose a Smart Toilet Is Actually Now

Last year, I decided to give my bathroom a little tech upgrade and tried the HOROW T38 smart toilet. Overwhelmed by shopping insanity about the smart toilet,  I honestly didn’t expect much at first, I just wanted something cleaner and easier to maintain. But it turned out to be a game-changer. The sleek, one-piece design instantly made my bathroom feel more modern, and the bidet toilet functions were such a game changer. The seat was warm, the auto-flush worked perfectly, and the foot-kick activation made everything completely hands-free. 

After living with the T38 for a while, I realized how much those small conveniences: the warm seat, hands-free flush, and automatic lid. All of them had quietly improved my mornings.  I just heard they dropped the upgraded T38P, and the bathroom geek in me is itching to shop again. I’m so curious about how the new version could take things even further.

Needless to say, it did not disappoint. The first noticeable upgrade in the HOROW T38P smart toilet  is its dual-flush system. Instead of just one powerful flush like the T38, the HOROW T38P smart toilet gives you two options that adjust automatically, one light, one full. It’s small, but it actually saves a surprising amount of water over time. 

The dual-flush system now adjusts automatically, using just the right amount of water each time to maximize efficiency and minimize waste. What really impressed me, though, was the upgraded cleaning system. The bowl combines high-temperature glazing, automatic pre-wetting, and a foam shield — a small but genius detail that makes everyday use noticeably cleaner. All of this triple-layer protection ensures that waste never sticks to the bowl, eliminating the need for secondary cleaning. The previous smart toilets I used didn’t have a foam shield, which often meant splashing and lingering odors that were hard to clean. With HOROW’s T38P foam shield, however, a dense layer of micro-foam forms instantly on the water surface, creating a soft barrier that prevents splashing and keeps things hygienic.

Beyond that, the flush is quieter yet more powerful, the rear-wash water pressure has been increased for a more thorough clean, and the system’s MAP performance even reaches an impressive 1000 grams! This means it handles heavy loads with ease. If the T38 exceed my expectations to what a smart toilet can do, the HOROW T38P smart toilet  may show me how much further those little details can go in making everyday routines easier and more enjoyable.

Hygiene is clearly a priority in the design. The HOROW T38P smart toilet’s pressure-boosting pump and extra-wide trapway create a flush that is both strong and whisper quiet. There are no clogs, no disruptions, and no unexpected surprises. The intelligent dual flush system automatically selects between 1.0 and 1.28 gallons per flush. This reduces water consumption by up to 2,000 gallons per year, lowering household utility bills while maintaining peak performance. Ten seconds after each use, the UV sterilization automatically activates, running for up to three minutes to ensure a thorough clean. Me and my family particularly appreciate that the toilet seat automatically opens and closes (no more leaving the toilet seat up!) and that there’s a soft light to guide you in the middle of the night. We love that it provides a customizable experience, too. You can adjust the temperature on the heated seat, bidet water, and air drying.  It features a detachable nozzle with UV sterilization, providing deeper cleaning after each use. 

Another standout feature is the foam shield, which activates the moment you sit down, forming a soft layer of foam over the bowl to prevent splashes and reduce odors. My wife, who is very particular about cleanliness and used to place a sheet of toilet paper on the water every time, is absolutely thrilled — this feature completely solves that little annoyance. Now every visit feels cleaner, more comfortable, and truly worry-free. My family quickly noticed how the HOROW T38P’s advanced hygiene care system makes everyday use cleaner and easier. The high-temperature glaze keeps the bowl smooth and spotless, while the silver-ion antibacterial seat always feels fresh to sit on. Before each flush, the gentle pre-wetting spray coats the bowl, and the 360° siphon flush clears everything in one go. Unlike other antibacterial methods such as plasma or UV sterilization, which only disinfect before or after use, the HOROW T38P foam shield provides continuous, dynamic protection throughout the entire toilet-use process. Here’s how it works: when the toilet detects a user (via a remote control or seat sensor), it automatically releases a layer of biodegradable foam across the water surface. Another reason you’ll want the foam shield? It even muffles the sound of waste hitting the water, adding a subtle layer of discretion, which is perfect for shared households or guest bathrooms. While features like heated seats and bidet wash functions often steal the spotlight, I’d argue the foam shield technology is no longer optional. Once you’ve tried the HOROW T38P, you’ll never want to go back — my family certainly doesn’t. It’s next-level comfort and a new standard for cleaner, smarter bathrooms.

After checking out all the new upgrades, I’ve gotta say — I’m really excited about the HOROW T38P smart toilet. As someone who’s weirdly obsessed with bathroom tech, it’s rare for me to find something that feels this spot-on.

And get this — they’re doing 20% off for Black Friday. Guess I bought mine too early, but that means you guys are in luck! I might go see what else they’ve got… it’s the perfect excuse to grab another upgrade while the deals last.
