Smart Toilets Melbourne: The U6 and U7 Smartoilet from Skyflex

Home Smart Toilets

Two questions come up before almost any smart toilet purchase: what one actually costs, and whether it is genuinely worth the money. This page answers both for anyone shopping for smart toilets Melbourne wide, and introduces the two models Skyflex stocks, the U6 Smartoilet and the U7 Smartoilet. Skyflex is a Melbourne outdoor-living brand, and smart toilets are a newer part of what we offer, so what follows is a straight buyer’s guide rather than a page of sales copy. Current pricing on both models is confirmed on enquiry. The rest reads like a guide: what a smart toilet does, what people pay across the market, the one electrical requirement that catches buyers out, and where the U6 and U7 sit.

What a smart toilet actually does

A smart toilet, sometimes called an intelligent toilet, an electric bidet or a Japanese toilet, replaces paper-and-flush with a set of electronic functions built into the pan or the seat. The features people talk about most are the practical ones. A heated seat, so the first contact on a cold Melbourne morning is not a shock. A warm-water bidet wash with an adjustable nozzle, which is the core of the whole category. A warm-air dryer that follows the wash. On top of those, most models add an auto open-and-close lid, a soft night light, and a self-cleaning or deodorising cycle.

Two body styles cover almost everything on the market. An integrated smart toilet suite is a single unit where the pan, cistern and electronics are designed together. A bidet seat is an electronic seat that bolts onto a compatible pan you may already own, which is the cheaper way in and a common first step. Knowing which of the two you want is the first real decision, and it shapes both the price and the install.

The Skyflex range: U6 and U7 Smartoilet

Skyflex carries two models: the U6 Smartoilet and the U7 Smartoilet. Rather than pad this page with a large catalogue, the honest picture is a focused two-model range, and the right choice comes down to the same axes a buyer weighs anywhere in this category:

Product type: an integrated smart toilet suite, or a bidet-seat setup, changes both the look and the price.
Mount and layout: floor-mounted, back-to-wall or wall-hung options each need different plumbing behind the wall.
Feature set: which wash, dryer, seat-heating, lid and self-clean functions matter to your household.
Dimensions: the footprint has to suit the room and the existing waste and water points.
Budget: where you land on the market range below.

Exact per-model configuration and current pricing for the U6 and U7 are confirmed on enquiry or at a showroom viewing, so you are matched to the model that fits your bathroom rather than sold the one with the longest feature list.

What smart toilets cost in Australia

Price is the question buyers ask first, so here is the honest market picture. Across Australian retailers, a bidet-seat setup fitted to a suitable pan starts at roughly $1,500. A full integrated smart toilet suite typically runs between about $2,000 and $4,500 depending on the wash system, the flush and the finish. Premium and luxury models climb well past $6,000, and the top of the market reaches beyond $11,000. Most households buying their first smart toilet land in the lower-to-middle part of that range.

For the U6 and U7 Smartoilet, Skyflex confirms current pricing on enquiry rather than listing a figure that dates quickly. Send us the room and the setup you have and we will come back with the price and the model that suits it.

The power point every smart toilet needs

This is the detail that catches the most buyers out, and it is worth reading before you commit. A smart toilet is an electrical appliance. It needs a power point, a GPO, near the toilet, and in many bathrooms that means an electrician runs a new outlet as well as a plumber connecting the water. If your bathroom has no power near the pan, factor that work into the budget from the start.

Two related points come up constantly. First, power outages: the heated seat, the wash and the dryer all rely on the power being on, while most smart toilets keep a manual or mechanical flush so the toilet still flushes when the power drops. Confirm the exact power-out behaviour of any specific model before you buy. Second, water: smart toilets should run on fresh mains water, not recycled greywater, and a WELS water-efficiency rating tells you how the suite uses water. We can confirm the WELS rating and the connection requirements for the U6 and U7 when you enquire.

Who a smart toilet is best for

A smart toilet is best for buyers who value the daily comfort of a warm seat, a warm-water wash and a dryer, and who are renovating or building where the plumbing and a power point can be planned in. Beyond general comfort, these features offer genuine practical value for a few specific groups:

People with limited mobility: For anyone with arthritis, back issues, or recovering from surgery, the automated wash and dry functions remove the need to reach or twist, helping maintain privacy and independence.
Older households upgrading for the future: The combination of auto-opening lids, soft night lights, and hands-free cleaning makes a bathroom safer and more accessible as mobility changes over the years.
Postpartum mothers and those with sensitivities: A warm, adjustable water wash is far gentler than standard paper, offering relief for postpartum recovery or medical conditions where abrasive wiping is uncomfortable.
Renovators upgrading a master ensuite: Buyers putting together a modern, high-end bathroom often view the bidet wash, heated seat, and self-cleaning functions as essential luxury inclusions.

The U6 and U7 suit any of these households, provided you are happy to add an electrical outlet near the pan if there is not one already.

What buyers want to know before choosing one

Is a smart toilet worth it?

Opinions genuinely split. Some owners call it worth every cent for the daily comfort, while others decide the cost is not justified for their household. The wash, warm seat and dryer are what long-term owners rave about. If those matter to you, the value follows.

How much do smart toilets cost?

Bidet-seat setups start near $1,500, integrated suites usually sit between about $2,000 and $4,500, and premium models run past $6,000. Skyflex confirms current U6 and U7 pricing on enquiry.

What are the disadvantages?

The main ones are the upfront cost, the need for a power point and possibly an electrician, and the fact that the wash, dryer and heated seat depend on power. There are more electronic parts than a standard toilet, so servicing is a consideration over the years.

How is a smart toilet installed?

It needs a plumber for the water connection and, in many bathrooms, an electrician to add a power point near the pan. If your bathroom has no outlet close by, factor that work into the budget from the start.

Do smart toilets work when the power goes out?

The electronic functions stop, but most models retain a manual or mechanical flush so the toilet still works. Check the specific model’s power-out behaviour before buying.

Do you still use toilet paper?

You can, though many owners find the warm-water wash and air dryer reduce how much they reach for it. It is a preference, not a rule.

Can I fit a bidet seat to my existing toilet, or do I need a whole new suite?

If your pan is compatible, a bidet seat is the lower-cost route and avoids replacing the whole suite. An integrated suite is the option when you want everything designed together or you are renovating anyway.

Which toilets do plumbers prefer?

Plumbers tend to favour WELS-rated suites with standard connections and serviceable parts. The best guide is the person installing yours, so ask your plumber to sight the model and the bathroom before you order.
