  • Patent number: 11952764
    Abstract: A flush toilet according to embodiments includes: a toilet body, a function unit, a panel member, and a holding part. The function unit is arranged in a rear part of the toilet body. The panel member covers a side surface of the function unit. The holding part causes the toilet body and a side surface of the panel member to attract and hold to each other by using magnetic force. In a state where being attached to the toilet body, the panel member is formed to be curved toward the toilet body. The holding part is formed such that an attraction surface of a panel-side magnetic material that is provided to the panel member and an attraction surface of a body-side magnetic material that is provided to the toilet body are formed in plane-shaped.
