TOTOSW2034#01 C100 WASHLET Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with PreMist, Elongated, Cotton White

Our bathroom set up is such that we couldn’t run a line from sink to toilet for hot water so we had to buy and electric unit. Idaho winters are cold and the pipes I our 95 year old house are insulted enough to prevent freezing but not much more. I have Reynaud’s (exposure to cold causes vasospasm / blood vessels to contract.) When this happens to my finger tips it feels like getting hit with a hammer. When it happened to my nipples the first time I, the pain in my poor little black nips made me want for death. I can’t imagine what that would feel like on the back foot or lady bits. So for me, warm water in a bidet was worth the price two fold (especially during the great TP hoarding pandemic of 2020). Could you get warm water with other units for less? Yes, but the bum blow dryer is great. Who wants to walk around with clean by wet tush or have to use TO to pat dry when you can get a nice warm breeze on the backside? Not to mention the heated seat that is especially nice for middle of the night tinkling as it avoids that cold seat shock. This model also puts out a mist of water as soon as it feels pressure on the seat in theory to help prevent things from sticking to the inside of the bowl. Does this work? Seems to help though I can’t say I made a real study of it. However, what I can say for sure is that if you have a golden retriever who plays dumb so that she can get away with being naughty beast, she may likely love this feature and view it as her own personal drinking fountain. We genuinely believed we had improperly installed the unit or had a faulty line at first until I caught her - head under the lid, body weight half on the seat half on the control panel, spraying herself in the face and soaking the floor. This speaks not only to the units stream the to put up with the weight of a chunky golden retriever bearing her weight across the control panel, but also to its user friendliness. If my dog can figure it out, certainly anyone in your household can as well. (This May mean you too will have to start keeping the bathroom door shut as the lid on this unit is light enough for my dogs to flip up with their noses so keeping the lid shut will not be enough) My kids acclimated to the bidet seat quickly, even my 13 year old son who was initially skeptical no seems to prefer to use the upstairs bathroom where the bidet is installed to the one near his bedroom. Given all of our quick acclimation to it we have used 80% less toilet paper this month. This still even after the increased bathroom use associated with the frequent need I have had to go number two quickly -if you get my meaning - as I have had some medicine changes and medical issues that have caused frequent use of the backside buttons. This is another huge point in favor of this unit. It not only has adjustable pressure settings but two separate buttons for the backdoor, one for “backside“ and one for “backside soft.“ Given my GI issues I had a bloody backside from frequent wiping such that it caused serious pain to wipe. Now not having to drag TP across a sore BH, I feel so much better. I know that’s an over share to most, but for those of you with celiacs, fissures, or other conditions that require frequent TP you understand what I mean when I say this bidet has rescued my bum from what seemed a routine of wiping with fine grit sand paper. I had surgery on my lady gear and no longer have a period but I would imagine this would feel so nice to be able to feel clean again each time you use the bathroom. (Not that there is anything unnatural or shameful about getting your period, but it just feels nice to feel clean especially if like I did, you have a heavy heavy flow. My youngest just started hers and seems to appreciate this aspect of the bidet.) And again they have thoughtfully given a separate button for this as well. So regardless of if you have normal backdoor cleaning, need a soft gentle wash in the rear, are a lady who doesn’t want to have to adjust her seated position to properly clean, or if you’d like a blow dried bum. There are buttons for each all with separate adjustments for pressure and temperature (as well as a seat heater adjustment as well.) Lastly, the unit also has a self cleaning setting to spray off the inside and outside of the sprayers (which are all housed behind plastic walls to be protected when not in use).Everything about this bidet is user friendly and customizable for your comfort. I can’t recommend this enough. If you are considering this unit because of its ease of installation, the knowledge that the manufacturer has a long history of making quality bidets, because you have medical issues which could be eased or made more comfortable, if you want to feel cleaner than dry wiping (I mean really if you got Pooh on your shoe would you clean it with TP or wash it off), or you just don’t want to have to worry about running out of toilet paper ever again. This unit is so much more than worth the price.... just be sure to keep the bathroom door shut if you have a naughty golden retriever.

I decided to get one of there after tiring of repeatedly soiling my hands after performing post-defecation hygiene. Bidets are popular in Japan; all the toilets in Japanese golf courses seem to have them. Toto seems to be the most popular brand.Overall, this unit works very well. The unit works by spraying warmed water at the perineal area, removing residual soilage. There is a separate setting for performing female post urination hygiene. After washing, the unit blows warmed air to dry the perineal area. Bidets are not popular in the USA, but they are popular in Europe and Asia. Water temperature and pressure, drying air temperature and seat temperature are adjustable from the arm console as is the position of the spray.I found the installation straightforward, but from the comments,it appears that some people have had difficulties. I offer the following suggestions:1. The installation instructions are in the form of picturegrams which are not always clear. There is very little verbal description of the installation process. Look at the parts (there are relatively few) and figure out how they fit together before getting started. There are several helpful videos on YouTube.2. The only tools that you need to install this unit are a Phillips screwdriver, a slotted screwdriver, a Channel lock pliers, and an adjustable wrench.3. You do NOT need to purchase any additional plumbing hardware. All required adapters are included. Many people make the mistake of trying to install the water line adapter between the wall valve and the tank water line—-this is not where the adapter goes and the fittings will not work in this location. The adapter goes between the toilet tank and the existing water line. If installed in that location, all fittings will mate properly.4. Be careful in mating the fittings. The fittings should screw together cleanly with minimal effort. It is very easy to cross thread the fittings in which case the mating will be difficult and a leak will result. If you are having difficulty mating the fittings or have a leak, you are crossthreading. Back off, carefully re-align, and screw together without resistance.5. The unit is attached to the toilet via a quick release mounting bracket. There is a small metal latch component that tends to fall off the left side of the bracket during shipping. If there are not two small metal pieces on the front of the bracket, look for a metal piece floating in the box and install it on the plastic bracket.6. The bracket mounts to the toilet via two compressive rubber boots. I found the boots slightly too large to fit through the holes on my toilet. Since the toilet is ceramic, trying to hammer the bolts through the holes risks cracking the toilet—not good.I got around this by carefully cutting the brass nut off the boot, pushing the boot through the holes, then installing the nut from below. Lubricant might be an easier solution. This allows for the requisite compression fit.7. You will need a 120 volt GFCI protected receptacle capable of handling 600 Watts to power this unit. A 15 amp circuit is more than enough.
