Replacement Bidet Seat Upgraded

This is a replacement bidet seat for our Kohler toilet, which is now about 12 years + in usage. Unfortunately, the motor in our old bidet seat failed and we had to replace the entire seat unit. There is some design change from the old unit but the functionality of the new is excellent. We like the water temperature adjustment of the spray! We are pleased with the new design. The night lite is another improved feature.

Always thought I wanted one

Now I know I should have bought one many years ago. Very easy to install. You do need 120v by the toilet. Check the wall behind it. I had on outlet on the wall behind where I needed it. 30 minutes, I had a hole cut and new one installed behind the toilet. Be warned ... that first time blast of water will be a shocker. Everything thing is heated, even a blow drier. And charcoal filter starts when you sit down.

Best product ever

My plumber told me about this product, and I have to say my husband and I are absolutely delighted with it. The heated seat is amazing. The warm water rinse is unbelievable. We use far less toilet paper now and no wet wipes - sorry to share the details but it's true. Seldom have I been so enthused about a product!

Life changing!

My wife asked for this and I was doubtful and thought it seemed like an odd thing to have and use. Well, was I wrong, this is the king of comfort and cleanliness. I installed it myself and it was not particularly difficult although you will want to be careful with the water connections. Other than that, the features are great. The heated seat is nice. The "limo light" is handy for night-time use (especially for men). And it just works great in general. Warm water, control of where and how it goes, a drying fan and more. Who knew we'd like a weird new toilet seat so much? Highly recommended.

This is a game changer!

This bidet seat is amazing! While I don't use the heated seat function being in a hot climate, all other features work wonderfully. It cleans perfectly, the force of the water is perfect, and having worm water and the ability to adjust the nozzles and how the water comes out is extremely helpful. The only other function I have disabled is the deodorizer... not really sure what the point of that is, and it just makes the seat noisy since a fan runs as part of that function. If you buy this, you won’t be disappointed!

[Incentivized Review] C3-455, Great features, tricky installation, diffe

The Kohler C3-455 elongated toilet seat has some great features, like the heated seat and the nightlight, as well as the remote. The jury is still out on the water cleansing. While the water is warm, it is a different feeling, that is taking a bit of getting used to. The seat take a bit of getting used to the different angle and hole size of seat. It is OK, but just not quite as good a I expected.

Didn’t know how much I needed this!

Decided to buy a bidet seat instead of installing a full bidet during remodel. Wonderful choice. You *do* need an electric hookup for power but routing water lines was a breeze. It is adjustable right down to the heat settings for the seat and water temps. I figure if something breaks I won’t be out so much $$ and have trouble replacing it. (It wasn’t so difficult to get an outlet installed close to the toilet - you need one if you install the full toilet/bidet anyway) Give it a try - you won’t be sorry. Wish I had one for the past 30+ years! Life changing

[Incentivized Review] Makes you feel extra fresh!

As a newbie to the world of cleansing seats, I didn’t understand the appeal at first. It sounds neat, but do you really need one? Maybe not...but it certainly elevates your bathroom experience! First things first - the seat came with everything needed to install it. The instructions were spot on and it also has a user guide on how to pair the remote and troubleshoot any issues. It took my husband less than an hour to install. He says that anyone fairly handy should be able to do this themselves...

As a newbie to the world of cleansing seats, I didn’t understand the appeal at first. It sounds neat, but do you really need one? Maybe not...but it certainly elevates your bathroom experience! First things first - the seat came with everything needed to install it. The instructions were spot on and it also has a user guide on how to pair the remote and troubleshoot any issues. It took my husband less than an hour to install. He says that anyone fairly handy should be able to do this themselves in a similar amount of time. The manufacturer does not recommend using an extension cord. In my experience, almost no one has an outlet close enough to their toilet for this to plug in (unless you’ve had it specifically wired for a cleansing seat). We are currently using a heavy gauge extension cord and it’s working fine. Pairing the remote was simple and only took a minute. It takes a bit longer to get used to warm water hitting your backside and lady bits. I will say the heated toilet seat is quite nice. Our bathroom gets chilly so not sitting on a ice cold seat is a treat! All of the functions work as they should and I like being able to adjust the heat of both the seat and water, spray time and length of the wand, and there is even a fan that blows warm air to dry your rear! Overall, this has been a pretty great addition to our bathroom.

Worth Every Penny

I spent a lot of time looking around Amazon for an electric toilet seat/bidet and I kind of got into "analysis paralysis" with all of the choices, the different prices, all of the different features, and all of the positive and negative reviews. I knew going with Kohler was somewhat of a safe bet because I have a few of their other products and the quality seems to be good. Basically, I knew I wanted an electric toilet seat with a bidet with a seat heater, electric deodorizer, and with warm wate...

I spent a lot of time looking around Amazon for an electric toilet seat/bidet and I kind of got into "analysis paralysis" with all of the choices, the different prices, all of the different features, and all of the positive and negative reviews. I knew going with Kohler was somewhat of a safe bet because I have a few of their other products and the quality seems to be good. Basically, I knew I wanted an electric toilet seat with a bidet with a seat heater, electric deodorizer, and with warm water. I also knew I did NOT want a toilet seat with a remote controller (seriously, why do you need a remote to control something you are literally sitting on?). I found this bidet to be fairly easy to install. I have almost zero plumbing experience, so I was thankful for that. The seat controls are VERY easy to figure out. Everything is pretty self-explanatory. The deodorizer is...ok. It's not the greatest, but it's WAY better than a bidet that doesn't come with one. I love that the toilet seat has an automatic light that turns on at night. I like that it is self-cleaning. I love that the seat is always warm. *One thing to note is that the bidet does not have a connection to your hot water source.* This was actually a POSITIVE selling point for me, because I didn't want to have to drill a hole in my cabinet to get to the sink connections. This means, however, that even if you set the bidet water to the warmest setting, is not going to be warm right away. It does warm up very quickly (I'm talking seconds), though, and I have had no issues with it. The electrical cord doesn't reach too far. My bathroom outlet is right next to the toilet, but it is on TOP of the counter, not below it (I feel like this is how most bathrooms are). So I was disappointed that the cord does not reach that far, however, I got an inexpensive 3-pronged extension cord and that solved the problem. Ultimately, I've had this toilet seat / bidet for about 3 months now and I still love it. Guests love it too! For what fancy bidets are going for these days, I think this is absolutely worth it.
