Wife wanted a bidet seat for several years. Each time I researched, I was scared off by the price. Finally convinced it was time, I was really challenged to find a seat that would fit our Kohler, San Raphael, one-piece toilet. Even Kohler support said they didn't have one to fit. But, one of the Kohler, on-the-phone salesmen, Lucas, sent me a follow-up email with a Kohler, 1.6 gpf, San Raphael cut sheet that recommended the K-4108 (PureWash E750 - which is the new name for the old Kohler C3...

Wife wanted a bidet seat for several years. Each time I researched, I was scared off by the price. Finally convinced it was time, I was really challenged to find a seat that would fit our Kohler, San Raphael, one-piece toilet. Even Kohler support said they didn't have one to fit. But, one of the Kohler, on-the-phone salesmen, Lucas, sent me a follow-up email with a Kohler, 1.6 gpf, San Raphael cut sheet that recommended the K-4108 (PureWash E750 - which is the new name for the old Kohler C3 230) Elongated bidet toilet seat. At almost $900, (we have a biscuit-colored toilet and chose the more expensive, biscuit colored seat to match), it was a hard bullet to bite but I ordered it. Showed up 3 days later. Took the original seat off and set the new bidet seat on the toilet and it fit !!! Only took about 20 minutes to fully install, adjust, and plumb but it fit and no leaks. Now, getting it to work was a separate challenge. Plugged it in and installed 4 AA batteries in the remote base. When I pushed on the buttons on the seat, the lights came on but nothing happened inside the toilet. Reread the instructions, pushed the buttons again, attempted to link the remote, but still nothing like I expected. Unplugged for 30 minutes, plugged back in, tried everything again and still no expected response. (The seat would trickle water like it was cleaning the wand and then nothing. Occasionally I would push the fan button, and the wand would come out and spray until I pushed stop. The deodorize button did work reliably.) Sat down on the seat, tried everything again, same results. Discouraged and it being a Friday evening, I just left it alone, plugged in, figuring to call Kohler support Monday morning. Woke Monday morning and the wife told me that she had successfully used the bidet seat Sunday night. All buttons worked properly on both the seat and the remote. I tried it that morning with the same, successful results. I guess it just needed to sit there and think about things for a while - but more likely, the remote needed more time to fully charge off the batteries. Bottom line, if you have a Kohler, 1.6 gpf, one-piece, K-3466, San Raphael toilet, this K-4108 Bidet seat fit and works for us. Best as I can tell, it is the ONLY bidet seat that will fit this toilet - and I checked with several on-line bidet shops - in addition to Kohler. I'll try to submit a follow-up in about 6 months.

The Kohler C3 230 Bidet Toilet Seat is pretty amazing. It's also pretty easy to install but for me required a bit more work. This seat is made for elongated toilets and the one I had was round. I replaced my toilet with a new Kohler elongated toilet and also installed an electrical outlet next to the toilet. Luckily I have a GFCI protected outlet on the opposite wall (next to the sink) which I tapped into to run the new outlet. Connecting the water line, mounting the seat, and mounting the remot...

The Kohler C3 230 Bidet Toilet Seat is pretty amazing. It's also pretty easy to install but for me required a bit more work. This seat is made for elongated toilets and the one I had was round. I replaced my toilet with a new Kohler elongated toilet and also installed an electrical outlet next to the toilet. Luckily I have a GFCI protected outlet on the opposite wall (next to the sink) which I tapped into to run the new outlet. Connecting the water line, mounting the seat, and mounting the remote took me 20 minutes at best. This seat doesn't just clean front and rear, there are tons of options you can select. There are six heat levels for the seat, the water, and the dryer. There are also six levels of water pressure and the extension of the wand. There is an oscillate and pulsate setting you can set if you like. Moments after you sit down the deodorizer kicks on along with the display on the remote control. The deodorizer works so well we hardly have a need to turn on our bathroom ventilation fan anymore. There are also two user preset buttons which allow you to enjoy all the settings you like with just the press of a button. I almost forgot about the night light. It's pretty cool but also useful for those late night trips to the bathroom where you don't want to disturb anyone by turning on bright lights. I can't really think of any cons but there are a couple of this to be aware of. First because of all the hardware this seat houses, the actual opening is a little smaller than regular toilet seats. Second, if you want to be totally dry, you are going need to sit with the dry on for a short while. We were apprehensive at first but my wife and I have used the Kohler C3 230 for about two weeks now and love it. Bidets are slowly catching on in the U.S. but have been common in other developed countries for decades. This bidet seat is another top of the line product from Kohler which I highly recommend.  Read Less

For over one year our Kohler Kalista bisque toilet seat was broken at the gold hinges. My wife unsuccessfully spent countless hours trying to find an exact replacement from Kohler. They no longer carry the bisque color with gold hinges. They offered a white with silver hinges. We even exhausted a wide internet search unsuccessfully. My wife was persistent and finally located this bidet cover in exact bisque color match. Our model has a side panel control, remote control, heated seat, lights for... Read More

For over one year our Kohler Kalista bisque toilet seat was broken at the gold hinges. My wife unsuccessfully spent countless hours trying to find an exact replacement from Kohler. They no longer carry the bisque color with gold hinges. They offered a white with silver hinges. We even exhausted a wide internet search unsuccessfully. My wife was persistent and finally located this bidet cover in exact bisque color match. Our model has a side panel control, remote control, heated seat, lights for night use and multiple water and heat settings. I was surprised by my family at Christmas whom had it secretly installed. Yes it was easy to install. I have wanted a bidet in our house since we built 22 years ago. Having spent winters in Mexico as a child with my family, where it was common to have a bidet, I decided I would install one in our new house. There was not enough space in the master bathroom for a toilet and bidet so I installed only the toilet. This bidet toilet seat is the perfect solution as it fits on existing toilet! I would highly recommend it!! Love the heated seat feature! And my wife loves the smell remover (deodorizer) feature even more.  Read Less

I thought I might be a bit insane for spending this much on a toilet seat, but it has been totally worth it. There are much cheaper models out there, but I already had a Kohler Highline Classic toilet (in white) that I really like, so I figured another Kohler product on top of that would be a good decision. The reviews were good, the price was high (but no where near the MSRP thankfully), but it worked out. Installation was pretty simple as far as attachment to the toilet. T... Read More

I thought I might be a bit insane for spending this much on a toilet seat, but it has been totally worth it. There are much cheaper models out there, but I already had a Kohler Highline Classic toilet (in white) that I really like, so I figured another Kohler product on top of that would be a good decision. The reviews were good, the price was high (but no where near the MSRP thankfully), but it worked out. Installation was pretty simple as far as attachment to the toilet. Their recommended placement of the electrical outlet seems odd based on how long the power cord is. It would have been a lot more work to put my outlet on the left side, but thankfully I did not have to. The cord was more than long enough to reach under the bowl, over to the right side. I was able to extend power from a convenience outlet almost directly above. If it had been placed on the left, I don't know what I would have done with all the excess cord. I think my install looks very clean and professional. The remote control looks very nice, but the wall mount mechanism seems very loose. The part attached to the wall is secure, but when you slide the dock down on it, there is too much play. There is nothing you can do about it really. I would have preferred through-holes and some caps to cover the screws. It does appear to come with a bracket for use on ceramic walls, but there is no mention of how to use it in the manual. Speaking of the manuals, they are sufficient, but I think the user's guide could be a bit more explanatory on some of the functions, like how the deodorizer works. The dryer function is an exercise for the patient. Don't expect it to have your bum ready for your underpants any time soon. So far the pulsate and oscillate functions have not "missed" anything, so I am down to just a couple of squares of TP to dry off. This should extend my existing stock of TP many times over. It is nice to get off the toilet and feel clean. Really clean. That alone is worth the price of admission. All the parts look and feel of good quality, so I hope this lasts. There is a chart on the Kohler website that will tell you how they expect the fit and finish to look on their various models of toilets. Mine had only 2 dots (3 is perfect, 1 is not good), which means it will fit fine, but not really match the style of my Highline Classic. I think it looks fine. Read Less
