I hear you on the “too smart for its own good” thing. I went with a mid-range model last year, mainly because it claimed to be more energy efficient and had an “eco” mode. Turns out, that mode just means the seat’s cold half the time and it still freaks out if there’s a power blip. I had to reset it twice after storms—honestly, I’d trade half the features for something that just works and uses less juice. It’s wild how much tech is crammed into what should be a simple appliance. I’m all for innovation, but sometimes low-tech is the real upgrade.

Couldn’t agree more. These “eco” modes are usually just marketing fluff—half the time, they’re not even that efficient. I’ve seen way too many of these so-called smart toilets that need a full reboot after a minor power flicker. Honestly, I’d rather have a reliable manual lever than a touchscreen that freezes up. Sometimes, the old-school stuff just lasts longer and causes fewer headaches.
