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... Read More

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.  Read Less

We got this to replace an American Standard bidet seat that eventually worked itself loose from our Kohler toilet. It was no longer possible to tighten that seat, so we decided to get one that exactly fit our Kohler. What I Like: — It fit absolutely perfectly on my elongated bowl Archer toilet and installed quickly and easily. (We don't do plumbing stuff well, but this was very easy.) — This seat has a low profile which looks so much bett... Read More

We got this to replace an American Standard bidet seat that eventually worked itself loose from our Kohler toilet. It was no longer possible to tighten that seat, so we decided to get one that exactly fit our Kohler. What I Like: — It fit absolutely perfectly on my elongated bowl Archer toilet and installed quickly and easily. (We don't do plumbing stuff well, but this was very easy.) — This seat has a low profile which looks so much better than the older model, high in the back, seats of every brand. — The seat is quite comfortable. — The controls are what I was used to (front, back, wand length adjustment, pulse massage, deodorizing fan, heated seat, adjustments for temp and strength of water stream) and are fairly standard on these seats at this point. — The heated seat. This is pretty much the height of civilization, imo. Life doesn't get much better than this! If you live where it gets cold in the winter or even just at night, I cannot emphasize how fantastic this feature is. I like all of the features of this seat, but the heat is easily my favorite. I had it on my previous seat as well and I've been spoiled by it. If I have to sit on a cold seat on a cold morning, it is a most unpleasant shock. The heat can be adjusted or completely turned off. — The UV sanitization feature. This goes on automatically, although getting it to go on only when you want it to, rather than constantly, was more difficult than it should have been. — The drying fan. I did not have this on my previous seat and it's a nice feature - cool, warm and hot. — The seat slips on and off its mooring very easily. This is a very important feature for being able to clean all around the seat. — The night light. My husband likes this feature more than I do. The two lights that make the nice blue glow at night, shine right into the water and are pretty bright when you open the toilet lid. I've learned to look away when opening the lid because the light is bright enough to wake me up more than I want in the middle of the night. There is no dimmer for the night light. It is either On or Off. But my husband is happy that he no longer had to turn a light on in the bathroom. What I Don't Like: — The placement of the controls. When you are sitting, the controls are at about 5:00 (if looking down). That means that you have to twist a bit to see the controls. My husband says he can feel which buttons to push now and no longer has to twist around, but I am still twisting. Not as much, but enough to bug me. My other seat had a remote control, and I should have gotten the Kohler seat that that had it, but the price difference was kind of ridiculous just for a remote. Bottom line: Overall, I like this seat very much. It fits perfectly, does everything it's supposed to do and is easy to clean, which is obviously important. And the heated seat is soooooo nice to have. Read Less

As a tech enthusiast, I approach every gadget with a critical eye. The Kohler PureWash E590 doesn’t disppointment. Pressure Play: The E590's spray is a marvel of adjustability.

New to using a bidet and didn’t want to spend for complete bidet toilet that if I didn’t like would cost me a significant amount of money plus the cost of taking it out and replacing with a regular toilet. The solution is just buying the bidet seat and decided on this Kohler because of the their years of experience with the bidet seat. My conclusions is it works grrrreeeaat!

New to using a bidet and didn’t want to spend for complete bidet toilet that if I didn’t like would cost me a significant amount of money plus the cost of taking it out and replacing with a regular toilet. The solution is just buying the bidet seat and decided on this Kohler because of the their years of experience with the bidet seat. My conclusions is it works grrrreeeaat! I can’t imagine a total bidet toilet could be any better. Easy to install but you do need a wall socket close to the toilet, easy for an electrician to install the wall socket. The bidet seat is very easy to install and easy to use. Lots of great features, including: heated seat, water temperature control, choice of water spray direction, deodorizer fan, drying fan, cleaning features and more. Using a bidet is easy and an improvement on personal hygiene. I’ve been using this Kohler bidet seat for 3 months so can’t comment on the life of this unit but it being a Kohler and the reviews I’m expecting years of pleasurable use. If there is any problem Kohler has a good help line and many plumbers know this unit for repair. If it couldn’t be fixed they are so cost effective I’d just replace it with the same bidet seat. I highly recommend this wonderful product. Read Less

We added on to our house for my elderly parents and installed 2 of these in 2 bathrooms for them. The directions are minimal on how to program the bidet seats, but my husband & I are engineers and should be able to figure this out. Problems: (1) Bidet functionality makes the toilet seat opening very small, (2) The water spray adjustment is abysmal - it sprays the back side, never the front, unless you bend way over at the waist, (3) None of the features are timed out at all - if you turn on t...

The directions are minimal on how to program the bidet seats, but my husband & I are engineers and should be able to figure this out. Problems: (1) Bidet functionality makes the toilet seat opening very small, (2) The water spray adjustment is abysmal - it sprays the back side, never the front, unless you bend way over at the waist, (3) None of the features are timed out at all - if you turn on the water spray or the dryer, they stay on forever until you manually turn them off - which is impossible for my visually-impaired mother, (4) Thought we could pre-program the individual person settings on the top of the remote so my mother could use find the one button, push it, and go through a cleaning cycle. Nope. Never did get the individual buttons to do anything at all, much less go through an automated clean / dry cycle. We spent $1,400 on 2 useless bidet products that are never used because they don’t do what they were advertised to do.  Read Less

Thankful we did not buy one for each of our bathrooms, two were enough to help me to decide not to buy another. While this fits our new elongated memoirs toilets, these seats use up about 1/4 of the hole opening. Placing yourself on the seat may result in rather unexpected messes. If you sit too far back or too far forward — be prepared to clean yourself and the toilet. It’s not something the cleaning wand can fix. Very disappointed in the overall design.

If you sit too far back or too far forward — be prepared to clean yourself and the toilet. It’s not something the cleaning wand can fix. Very disappointed in the overall design. I wish I could return them for something different, but no returns The cleaning wand— supposed to have different pressure settings. No, it does not. The cleaning wand should clean far forward and changing the position does not make it change. The seat heater and night light are the best features but neither of those will clean you which is what this seat should do.  Read Less
