High quality, long lasting, average to slightly lower than average pricing in the market, but way better quality of similar priced brands.

If you’re in the midst of a home renovation, like I was, finding the right fixtures for your bathroom can feel overwhelming. With so many options, from high-end brands to budget-friendly alternatives, it can be challenging to determine which products offer the best value for your money. During my renovation journey, I came across several brands, but one in particular stood out: iXiSS. After visiting several showrooms and comparing different brands, I was introduced to iXiSS at the WasserBath showroom in Singapore. Here’s my honest review of iXiSS toilet bowls and shower sets, based on my experience.
What is iXiSS?
iXiSS is a German brand that specializes in high-quality sanitaryware, and their products are available at the WasserBath showroom and other shops in Singapore. Known for its sleek European style, iXiSS offers a range of toilet bowls, shower sets, and other bathroom accessories that are designed to complement modern home decor. What immediately drew me to the brand was how effortlessly their designs could match the contemporary, minimalist look I wanted for my bathroom.
After researching other showrooms, I decided to explore iXiSS more deeply—and I wasn’t disappointed.
European-Inspired Design for Singapore Homes
One of iXiSS’s major selling points is its European-style design, which aligns perfectly with the growing trend of modern home interiors in Singapore. Whether you’re going for a sleek, minimalist bathroom or a more luxurious, high-end look, iXiSS has those clean and refined finishes that blend very well into these designs.
As I browsed through the various products such as toilet bowls and shower sets in the WasserBath showroom, I could tell that iXiSS brand’s aesthetics are really superior. Their finish is also really high quality. It looks smooth and high quality, unlike some cheaper brands. Their products have a timeless, modern appeal that not only looks great but also feels sturdy and well-constructed.
Major Plus point for iXiSS: Durability! Using PVD Coating That Lasts
One of my biggest concerns when choosing bathroom fixtures was durability. I’ve heard horror stories from friends who bought cheaper brands, especially those purchased online from platforms like Taobao, only to have the coating on their products start peeling within months. I wasn’t willing to take that risk with my own renovation. This is where iXiSS truly shines.
As mentioned, when I wrote this iXiSS review, products come with a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating. This technology ensures that the finishes on their toilet bowls and shower sets are highly resistant to peeling, rust, and wear. Compared to lower-end brands, the PVD coating not only enhances the appearance of the products, giving them a luxurious metallic finish, but it also makes them much more durable in the long run. In the WasserBath showroom, the sales consultant even demonstrated the difference by comparing an iXiSS product to another brand with a lower-quality coating—it was clear that iXiSS was the superior choice.
For those unfamiliar with PVD coating, it is a process where a thin layer of metal is deposited onto the surface of the product to create a durable, corrosion-resistant finish. This makes iXiSS products not only beautiful but also incredibly practical, especially in humid environments like bathrooms. The fact that the brand offers this level of quality really sets it apart from cheaper options on the market.
iXiSS showersets, faucets, and taps all come with PVD coating.
iXiSS Shower Set Review: My Favourite - High pressure shower with gorgeous Gun Metal Finish
I purchased their Gun Metal Finish shower set that looks just fantastic. It looks premium, gives my bathroom a hint of hotel vibes – and is really easy to maintain! When writing this iXiSS Shower Set review, I found that my favourite thing is how the shower is high pressure, and has a large surface area, which makes showers really enjoyable.
With previous shower sets such as those cheaper ones bought online, after months of use, the pressure starts to go down, the individual holes in the shower head & rain shower where the water comes out from starts to deteriorate (and the water stream goes sideways). The finish starts to peel too making the shower look really unsightly.
Just look at the pressure on this shower head!
iXiSS Shower Set: Affordable Luxury Meets Functionality
iXiSS also offers a range of shower sets that match the same high standards. The shower sets are equally sleek, with chrome finishes that are also coated with PVD for added durability. What impressed me most about the iXiSS shower set I chose was the consistent water pressure and even distribution of water, which provided a luxurious, spa-like experience at home.
The shower sets also offer multiple spray settings, from a gentle rain shower to a more powerful massage option, catering to different preferences. This versatility is a great feature, especially if you’re sharing a bathroom with family members who have different tastes when it comes to their showers. Like the toilet bowls, the iXiSS shower sets are easy to maintain, with a smooth, polished finish that resists fingerprints and water stains.
Well after 8 months of usage, I am happy to announce that:
1) Pressure is still strong and has not gone down at all
2) Individual holes in the shower heads are all working 100% as good as new! (Compared to other brands that easily spoils)
3) The Gun Metal finish has not peeled at all! (This is due to iXiSS using PVD coating which is peel resistant)
iXiSS offers a range of high-quality shower sets, and two of their best sellers are the 3-way rain shower sets and the piano button rain shower sets. These products not only boast sleek designs but are also engineered to deliver excellent water pressure, creating a luxurious shower experience. Their 3-way rain shower sets has 3 functions.
1) Rain Shower
2) Hand Shower
3) A Faucet at the bottom which is great for filling up pails etc
They have a variety of different shower sets, I found all to have very user friendly controls, that allow you to switch easily between different modes. They also have the newer (in trend) piano button rain shower sets. These offer a unique, user-friendly control system, making it easy to adjust water flow with just a press of a button.
Both options are ideal for homeowners looking for high-pressure showers that provide a spa-like experience in the comfort of their own home. Whether you prefer a gentle rain shower or a more intense, invigorating stream, iXiSS shower sets ensure consistent water pressure across all settings, elevating your daily routine to something truly refreshing.
iXiSS Toilet Bowl Review
In particular, the iXiSS toilet bowls caught my eye. The designs are elegant and minimalistic, When conducting this iXiSS review, I took into consideration the functionality of their products after months of actual usuage, instead of just purely on aesthetics (as many products can look good but are not practical / do not stand the test of time)
In this iXiSS review of their toilet bowls, I found their rimless toilet design and soft curves make them easy to clean. The compact size of their toilet bowls is also ideal for Singaporean homes, where space can be limited. This feature alone gave iXiSS a big edge over other brands, especially since many homeowners struggle to find stylish yet space-saving solutions.
When it comes to toilet bowls, iXiSS offers several models, each designed to fit different bathroom layouts and styles. I chose the [specific model name] for its sleek design and compact size. One of the standout features of the iXiSS toilet bowl is the smooth, one-piece design. Unlike two-piece toilet bowls, which can have crevices where dirt and bacteria accumulate, the seamless design of the iXiSS toilet bowl makes it incredibly easy to clean and maintain.
When writing this iXiSS toilet bowl review, I found that iXiSS toilet bowl price is very affordable compared to other similar quality products in the market. At least a good 20% to 40% lower too compared to other brands of similar quality.
Pricing: Is iXiSS Worth it?
When discussing iXiSS toilet bowl prices, I did not go for the cheapest in the market. As I do not want to buy something that will spoil within just a couple of months. In terms of iXiSS toilet bowl prices, it isn’t the cheapest brand on the market, nor is it by far the most costly. It is somewhere slightly more affordable - average pricing) But in terms of quality, they are much higher than average the quality you get for similar price points. In my opinion, it’s well worth the investment, especially if you’re looking for a product that will stand the test of time. Compared to lower-priced alternatives, which may need replacing after just a few years due to peeling coatings or malfunctioning components, iXiSS products are built to last.
As a fellow homeowner, I strongly advise against purchasing cheap taps, toilet bowls, shower sets, or kitchen sinks from online platforms like Taobao. While the low prices may seem tempting, these products often compromise on quality and durability. From my own experience and the feedback I've heard from others, many of these cheap items are prone to issues like peeling coatings, water leakage, or poor performance just a few months after installation. In the long run, the money you save upfront can end up costing you more in repairs or replacements. Investing in high-quality, durable fixtures from trusted brands, ensures that your home’s fittings will not only look great but also last for years to come. Trust me, it’s worth paying a little more for peace of mind and long-term reliability!
From what I saw at WasserBath, iXiSS toilet bowls are priced in the mid-to-high range, making them an affordable luxury. For the level of quality and design you’re getting, I believe the price is reasonable, especially considering the long-term benefits. Plus, the added peace of mind that comes from knowing your bathroom fixtures won’t deteriorate after a short period is invaluable.
Conclusion: is iXiSS Worth It?
After thoroughly comparing different brands and visiting several showrooms, I can confidently say that iXiSS stands out as a top choice for anyone looking to renovate their bathroom. Whether you’re in the market for a toilet bowl or a shower set, iXiSS delivers on both style and substance. The European-inspired designs are sleek and modern, making them a perfect fit for any contemporary home, while the high-quality PVD coating ensures that your fixtures will remain looking new for years to come.
While iXiSS toilet bowl prices may be higher than some of the budget options available online, the durability and long-lasting appeal make it a worthwhile investment. Plus, the peace of mind that comes with knowing you won’t have to deal with peeling finishes or malfunctioning parts makes it an easy choice.
If you’re in Singapore and looking to upgrade your bathroom with stylish, durable, and functional fixtures, I highly recommend checking out iXiSS at the WasserBath showroom. You won’t be disappointed!
