Are shower toilets worth it?

I suppose the term clag is a regional speciality, never mind. Can some Northerners help out a brother here?

Or winnats, the bits that won't go away.

Or dangle berries.

Never heard of clag though.

Viz was originally a Geordie mag wasn't it?

I'm sure it's worse with a vacuum hose.

Toto maybe the gold brand, but I would look for something that hides the flexi connector and the power cable from view.

The toilet seat may be great and function well, but a flexi connector and a power cable exposed from the left hand side of the seat is plain ugly.

I've done a heap of these and can never fathom why they are specified, particularly with the exposed flexi and power cable.

There are other brands available that do conceal the water and power connection.
May cost a little more, but well worth the visual effect

Look at geberit aquaclean, they warm the water up too. No electric or water feeds on display.
I have fitted a few and they seem pretty good (plumber’s privilege to try out before handing over to customer!)
They need regular cleaning, like any loo, and the wand can be removed for this if required,

Actually if anything other brands are cheaper than toto, my current shortlist is from Aqua Sigma

Those are pretty spendy though, for now the Aqua Lava seems to be the best deal ..

You mean cheapest deal. Though if you find the product meets your requirements and costs less, then I can see you would feel it is the best deal.

Well, sure, but there's "price per feature" (and this one has both heated water, and an air blower, and of course the usual wand spray thing - a combination usually found only in the 2500+ price range for competition), but also overall build quality. The first is fairly easy, and of course you can debate if you want or don't want certain options, but the build quality is a tough one, you are probably better off with a fancy brand so that's the harder decision.
