You won’t regret this purchase
A friend told me a few years ago that bidets were the best thing going. Being a stubborn boomer, I ignored him and continued to destroy my nether regions with TP and various methods of assuring complete cleanliness. Finally, push came to shove (ha!) and I needed a solution for my worsening issue with, well, you know what. So I read the reviews, Amazon, Wirecutter, etc, and chose the Toto.

A friend told me a few years ago that bidets were the best thing going. Being a stubborn boomer, I ignored him and continued to destroy my nether regions with TP and various methods of assuring complete cleanliness. Finally, push came to shove (ha!) and I needed a solution for my worsening issue with, well, you know what. So I read the reviews, Amazon, Wirecutter, etc, and chose the Toto. It is, quite simply, life-changing. First: ease of install. Yes. And while you don’t have to be a plumber or electrician to install, take your time, read the directions, don’t use tools to tighten where they tell you not to use tools, and you’ll be fine. I have no leaks, no issues. I wish, however that I had a plug closer to the toilet instead of using an extension cord…an easy enough fix. Using: read the directions on what the symbols on the remote mean. I’m a typical male, so I didn’t, figuring I could easily translate the symbols. Nope. If you’ve never used a bidet, read the directions. Does it work? Oh my yes. After an initial adjustment period and experimentation, it is perfect for my nether region’s requirements for absolute cleanliness and “debris” removal. Regrets? Only one, and it’s by no means the fault of my Toto Seat. When I replaced the toilets in my house a few years ago, I screwed up, buying one round bowl and one long bowl. Toto makes seats for both, and I’d be happier if I had a long bowl toilet and a long bowl seat/bidet. But for most, round will be fine, and for now it’s fine for me as well. The heated seat, fan, and warm-water functions are wonderful. The seat is sturdy and appears to be durable. Unlike actual bidet units such as you see 9n Europe, the unit isn’t intimidating and the working bits retract into the seat when not being used, and automatically rinses everything that needs to be rinsed off. In short, buy it. You’ll absolutely love it, as do I. Worth every penny.

This is the best bidet seat I've ever owned
The best bidet toilet seat I've owned so far. It is absolutely the best in every way. It's also very easy to install but you'll need a GFCI outlet nearby to plug it into. I had an electrician install one for when I first started buying these. This is my first Toto and what a difference! We couldn't be happier with the washing and drying performance. If you can believe it(I didn't until I experienced it) it has a filter that eliminates odor immediately. It's fully cleanable and servicable too. Amazing because It works like a charm!

Buy this now.
I bought one for the master bathroom. My wife really wanted it so I bought and installed in 20 minutes. Super easy. But, I did have to have an electrician add a outlet. Then I tried it. OMG. The seat and spray are warm. So nice. I bought another for the downstairs bathroom and had another outlet installed. We wonder how we lived so long without it. Highly recommend.

Best for the money
The bide works very well and was easy to set up. I bought this for my elderly parent and he loves it. Much easier and less messy to clean up. I had to label the controls 1,2,3,4 (wash, oscillate, dry, stop) for my parent so they could easily run the control. I have a s7 and besides being slimmer (not a big deal) the s7 has endless warm water, compared to the c5 that has a tank and is limited to how much warm water you have during washing. Bottom line, for the price, this is a great bide and worth getting.

This is an electric bidet so you would need an electrical outlet near your toilet to plug it in. Lots of features and like two water sprays, self-cleansing feature after every use. Instant heating for unlimited warm water. Soft night light for use during night time. It's low profile so it doesn't seem bulky or add too much height on your toilet seat. Worth the price.

Treat yoself
We have been using this bidet for a few years now. In short, it’s a very high-quality piece of equipment. It’s pretty easy to keep clean as well, which is nice. It’s money well spent.

Put in one for mom…so good now we’re getting one!
My elderly mom was skeptical that this would help her with “down there” care, but she is now a convert. And installation was a breeze. It is not cheap, but I think you get real value with this unit. A few handy items on installation: 1) watch some of the many videos on YouTube before installing. 2) if you have a rigid supply line to your toilet, spend a few bucks and get a new one that flexes. 3) when...
My elderly mom was skeptical that this would help her with “down there” care, but she is now a convert. And installation was a breeze. It is not cheap, but I think you get real value with this unit. A few handy items on installation: 1) watch some of the many videos on YouTube before installing. 2) if you have a rigid supply line to your toilet, spend a few bucks and get a new one that flexes. 3) when you are inserting the Washlet supply line into the T fitting supplied with the unit, you really have to push firmly on that line as you tighten it, or else you will get a small leak. Everything works well on the unit and it is easy to clean and remove. The unit also does not wiggle on the bolts, a fault others have pointed out. I strongly recommend a unit with a remote like this one. Side controls can be hard for those with low vision or in small spaces. The only thing I don’t like is the fact that the supply between the Washlet and toilet sticks out and looks ugly. It it were longer, I think it would be more flexible. It is a bit stiff, and I was afraid bending it would cause a break or leak at one of the ends. And now my husband wants to get one for us!

[Incentivized Review] Best toilet upgrade
This is my first experience with a bidet. I was very skeptical about using a bidet at first as I wasn’t sure what to expect. This is a bathroom game changer. It a very pleasant experience with the heated water and seat functions. Plus you save money on toilet paper! I really like the soft close feature of the lid so it doesn’t slam shut. The seat was very easy to install. I was able to have it all hooked up and operating in about 15 minutes.

[Incentivized Review] Works well
This works really well for a non electric bidet. It was easy to install and looks like a regular toilet seat and lid when closed. It has two different spray options. It's easy to use. The only drawback is the the water is not heated. That takes some getting used to but otherwise it's great. Pros Durable, Easy to Use, Sturdy, High Quality, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Nice Design

A MUST have, especially for seniors!
This is a MUST have! Every senior should have one. I'm not sure how we ever lived w/o this wonderful bidet. Heated seat, heated water + a dryer. Fits right on the toilet, hook up is a breeze and we put the remote control right on the vanity in the bathroom. Relatively little noise, very secure and also self-cleaning. Different settings that can be preset for individual use.
