The SARAS Wall Hung Shower Toilet addresses Asia's demand for advanced cleansing experiences. Its blend of humanizing shapes and architectural lines creates a refined aesthetic that blends into the environment, while the iconic LED element provides intuitive, humanized feedback that communicates product and functions status. Advanced features include a sensor lid, heated seating, air purification, and a remote with an intuitive hierarchy of functions to simplify usage of its many features. Aquaceramic and HyperClean technologies ensure lasting hygiene, while eco modes and an efficient dual vortex flush minimizes environmental impact.

The SARAS Wall Hung Shower Toilet addresses market demand across Asia for advanced cleansing experiences. Adapted from a proven platform, SARAS ensures reliable performance while delivering superior design and functionality within its price segment. Its form embodies INAX's Humanitecture design philosophy—fusing human needs with architectural context through the brand’s Tension, Squoval, and Volcano signature design elements. Squoval forms at the front create an approachable aesthetic while straight lines at the back allows for seamless integration into the architecture. Its wall-hung format maximizes floor space while simplifying cleaning. Its features include sensor-activated self-opening lid, heated seating, and an intuitive remote that allows for ergonomic control. The LED ring element acts as an intelligent interface that provides feedback on functions and status. Hidden bowl LEDs serve as a night light and turn blue when Plasmacluster air purification is activated. SARAS also features Aquaceramic anti-limescale and HyperClean antibacterial technologies, with automatic double vortex flushing when the lid closes. Last but not least, SARAS is designed to integrate with existing INAX in-wall cisterns and flushplates, providing a complete shower toilet solution that delivers refined aesthetics, premium functionality, and installation flexibility.

The SARAS Wall Hung Toilet has yet to be released commercially, but with its sophisticated, space-optimized wall-hung design and advanced functionality that outclasses competing products within its price segment, we have high confidence and expectations for its business performance. It will be particularly appealing to developers of residential projects due to increasing space scarcity and demand for advanced cleansing solutions, allowing them to increase the intrinsic value of their developments.

The SARAS Wall Hung Shower Toilet was developed in response to Asia’s growing demand for wall-hung intelligent shower toilets, with smart, user-centric features that address the expectations of urban consumers seeking advanced bathroom solutions. Additionally, SARAS’ sustainability credentials go beyond just water saving. Three intelligent eco modes optimize energy consumption by deactivating functions like seat warming, and automatically adjusting temperatures based on user patterns. The double vortex flushing system effectively clears waste even in low pressure conditions, reducing the need for multiple flushes to minimize water consumption. The ceramic and e-bidet are also separate SKUs, enabling component repair rather than full disposal. Additionally, by leveraging platform-based development, we can minimize waste while enabling economies of scale.

The platform behind the SARAS Wall Hung Toilet is the result of group-wide collaboration across design, marketing, R&D, quality, procurement, finance, production, suppliers, and SOIP teams. The teams worked very closely together to develop this platform that enables the efficiencies necessary for us to deliver a product without compromises at an accessible price point.

By tapping on an existing proven platform that leveraged cutting-edge cleansing technological innovations of LIXIL Group as a whole, we were able to create a shower toilet with design and functionality that exceeds what is traditionally possible within its price segment.

Thanks to its platform-based development, the project took less than the typical 2-year development cycle from initiation to final delivery. Significant investment in the platform was made to maximize its flexibility.

With SARAS, our goal was to bring Japan’s rituals of water to the rest of Asia while serving Asia’s demand for space-optimized, advanced cleansing solutions. With its exceptional design and features and extremely competitive price point, we expect the SARAS Wall Hung Shower Toilet to receive a highly positive market response.
