Modern life is not without rush anxiety. Some people drive home from get off work and stay in the car in the parking lot for an hour, just to "have time with themselves"; some people lock themselves in the toilet, sit on the toilet for dozens of minutes, swipe their mobile phones, Be in a daze, empty your mind, and shut all your worries out.
In addition to the bed, the toilet is arguably the most intimate piece of furniture we know about. The unique attributes of the toilet also make people pay more attention to its functionality when choosing it.
Did you choose the right toilet? Let 's take a look at the "Necessary Knowledge of Toilet Purchasing" compiled by Xiaobian !
First, let's talk about the most common types of toilets (toilets) :
Split toilet: As the name suggests, a split toilet consists of two separate parts. The water tank is separate from the main body, and bolts are used to connect them during installation.
Split toilets are the most common type of toilet and are generally more affordable than one-piece toilets. The advantage is that replacement parts are readily available and easy to transport. However, many owners do not like it because of its many gaps.
Split toilets can range in price from $100 to hundreds of dollars.
One -piece toilets: Another common type of toilet is the one-piece toilet. The water tank and the main body are seamlessly connected and formed in one piece, which is more favored by consumers. In addition, since this type of toilet has no gaps, there are no dead spots for cleaning. They tend to be smaller in size, saving valuable bathroom space.
The disadvantage of the one-piece toilet is that it is bulky, not easy to move, and has high budget requirements. Low-end models start at about $200, and high-end models with special features can run into the thousands.
Wall-mounted toilet: If you want to save space in your bathroom, or experience a modern style, a wall-mounted toilet may be a good choice. It has many advantages but is relatively more expensive.
Wall-mounted toilets usually take up less space than standard toilets and are more convenient for people in wheelchairs. And since this toilet has no base, it is very convenient to clean the floor.
Of course, wall-mounted toilets also have disadvantages. For example, it is generally more expensive, starting at around $300, and it is more complicated to install, because the drainage pipes are installed in the wall rather than under the floor, so the thickness and strength of the wall is more demanding.
Round End Block: The Round End is characterized by a rounded edge. This type of toilet is usually not as deep as the extended type, and the pit distance is shorter, which is suitable for small spaces.
Round-end cylinders are available for split toilets, one-piece toilets and wall-mounted toilets, and one model can combine many of the high-end features mentioned above. Basic round-end toilets can cost as little as $80, while high-end models can cost as much as $500 or more.

加长型缸体:另一种常见的坐便器缸体形状是加长型,通常来说会比圆端型深几英寸。据说这种类型的座便器能够提供更加舒适的入座体验。由于加长型座便器深度有所增加,因此坑距要求较长。
如今,由于加长型坐便器更受欢迎,所以品类齐全,样式丰富。无论是分体座便器、连体座便器还是壁挂座便器都可以采用加长型缸体。低端款花费在100美元或更少,而高端款可高达数千美元。
重力式冲水:重力式是现代座便器最常用的冲水系统。这种座便器使用起来比较安静,同时对水压要求不高。但是由于这种座便器是依赖重力将废物冲出管道,所以更容易堵塞。
重力式冲水系统可用于大多数各种类型的座便器,价格从80美元到数百美元不等。
左为重力式,右为压力辅助式
压力辅助式冲水:压力辅助式冲水系统使用加压空气补偿重力的不足,让水流和废物通过管道更加容易。因此这种座便器不易堵塞,受到许多家庭的欢迎。
但是压力辅助式坐便器也有一些缺点,比如冲水噪音较大。此外,需要更高的水压才能保证这种座便器正常工作。通常来说,压力辅助式座便器更加昂贵,起价在300美元左右。
双冲坐便器:双冲坐便器对于环保节水人士来说是不二之选。这类坐便器有两种冲水模式:可以冲走固体的“全冲”和可以冲走液体的“半冲”。通常全冲模式用水量为1.6加仑,而半冲模式用水量为1加仑。
由于有两种冲水模式,双冲坐便器采用冲水按钮而非标准扳手。该冲水系统可用于分体坐便器和连体坐便器。此外,双冲座便器还有一个好处,它并不像你想象中的那么昂贵。一款标准型双冲坐便器只需要不到100美元。
无水坐便器:如果安装地点缺乏传统的管线,那么你可能需要考虑使用无水坐便器。这种坐便器常用于偏远的度假屋、谷仓、房车等。
无水坐便器通常有两种类型:打包式和堆肥式。打包式将废物“冲”进密封袋中,只需要定期更换袋子即可。而堆肥式连接到一个独立的箱体,把废物收集起来,随着时间的推移,其中的有机质被分解转化为肥料。
因为无水坐便器是针对特殊人群的商品,所以价格会比标准座便器贵上许多,入门款价格在500美元左右。
智能坐便器:体验奢华卫浴享受,“智能”坐便器必不可少。这种高端坐便器通常是一体成型,配备有一系列奢华功能。一些常见的功能包括座圈加热、内置清洗、自动开合、无接触冲水等等。
如你所料,这种高端坐便器价格不菲,入门款在1000美元左右。需要注意的是许多功能需要电力供能,因此可能需要将其插入电源插座。
说了这么多,那么在美国有哪些知名的坐便器品牌呢?又分别有哪些特点呢?
你在选购坐便器的时候可能会遇到一些畅销品牌,以下是几个在美国常见的品牌的介绍。
