The Power of Foam and Water Flow, Plus Improved Seat Design, is Key
According to Panasonic's research (August 2013), the rate of seated urination has surpassed 50%. In recent years, there has been a demand for toilets that accommodate preferred styles of use. While Panasonic's previous toilet models featured easy-cleaning functions primarily for the inside of the bowl, many users were concerned about stains outside the bowl.
The new "Aranto" tankless toilet features an automatic cleaning function that utilizes "two types of foam" and "water flow" with each flush, and newly incorporates a cleaning function that suppresses urine splatter with foam.
The toilet seat employs Panasonic's unique manufacturing method, developing a "gapless shape" with no crevices. This eliminates dirt in the gaps of the seat, reducing the burden of cleaning.
Furthermore, in line with Panasonic's commitment to energy saving, water efficiency (4.8L for large flush, 3.6L for small flush) saves approximately ¥14,000 annually, and power efficiency (68kWh consumption) saves about ¥6,000. Compared to toilets from about 20 years ago, a total saving of approximately ¥20,000 can be expected. It is compatible with both new construction and renovations. We draw attention to the evolved "Aranto," which makes toilet cleaning easier and creates a more comfortable toilet space.
