I never heard of VOVO before and unfortunately there are no YouTube reviews for it but after checking out the website video/specs I decided to try the top of the line VB4000SE elongated model.

I never heard of VOVO before and unfortunately there are no YouTube reviews for it but after checking out the website video/specs I decided to try the top of the line VB4000SE elongated model. My wife and I had been thinking about getting a bidet for quite a while and I looked at some of top brands such as TOTO and Brondell. I watched several video reviews so I knew what features and performance level was offered from the name brands. The bidet was very well packaged and even included batteries for the remote control. The quick install guide was a laminated color sheet with photos. Very nice except for steps 4&5 that were two pictures on top of each other. Those should have been separated for clarity. The manual has install instructions which are good however there were two long metal screws with metal washers and long soft plastic nuts that were not show or mentioned. I assume they’re for mounting to certain types of toilet bowls but strange they weren’t shown. The one thing I don’t like about the lid is that it is not strong enough to sit on. This may not be a big deal to most. Installing the bidet and connecting it up to the water supply was a breeze but make sure you have a large enough wrench to tighten the hoses. As most bathroom don’t have an electrical outlet near the bowl, be prepared to use an extension cord or have an electrician install one. The remote comes with a wall mounted holder but it doesn’t include drywall screws for that. There is double sided tape on the back but if you mount using that, it will wreck the drywall if you need to remove it. There are four control buttons on the water side of the seat for basic functions but you can’t see them when sitting so remember the order if you have to use them. The remote is laid out well and easy to navigate. I read some reviews for name brand models that had remotes that were difficult to use. Can’t imagine that but VOVO’s is straight forward. It seems to work no matter where you hold it so if you don’t want to use the wall mount, no problem. It will be interesting to see how long the batteries last. So the big question is, does it work well. My answer, yes and maybe too well. The heated seat can get real warm for those who want that. Plastic doesn’t get that cold anyway so I just use the low heat setting. The warmth does feel nice though. The nozzle has positional adjustment so you can aim it right where you need it. It has standard wash as well as a rhythm setting for both posterior as well as feminine washing. The rhythm fells likes it going in a circular pattern. The enema function does what it says so be prepared for that. It starts at the minimum setting then slowly increases. You can stop it at any time. The one feature I was really curious about was the heated water. VOVO uses a tank which means that the warm water can run out. I used the high temperature setting and used the water several consecutive times. I read some reviews that said once tank systems run out the water doesn’t go cold but it’s not warm. The water seemed to last about 40 seconds. Each time I used the function the water started out really warm but never went cool so I was please about that. The heated dry is not very powerful so getting completely dry will take a little while even on the highest setting. I’m not sure how auto deodorant function works or how well. More testing needed on that. The seat releases water over the nozzle each time as a cleaning feature. It can also be extended if a more through manual cleaning is necessary. I wish it had a silver ionic coating which is antimicrobial. That would be more effective at killing germs. Last is the LED bowl light. At first I thought it wasn’t needed but it does help when cleaning the bowl. Overall I’m very please with VOVO’s product. Pros: Easy install, works very well, easy to use remote, great looking design, made in Korea (quality). Cons: Lid not strong enough to sit on, lack of antimicrobial nozzle, drying fan could be more powerful, no wall mount screws for the remote ( I wouldn't mind paying a bit more for these features).

So fresh and so clean. Well my new bidet seat arrived and it was more advanced than I expected. I have been using bidet's on other toilets in my house since before COVID and the Toilet Paper hoarding of 2020. To be honest the end result is so much cleaner and without wasting so much paper. (When you get dirt on your arm to you rub it with as much paper towel as you can? no you wash it in the sink and then use the towel. Same should go for your undercarriage).

So fresh and so clean. Well my new bidet seat arrived and it was more advanced than I expected. I have been using bidet's on other toilets in my house since before COVID and the Toilet Paper hoarding of 2020. To be honest the end result is so much cleaner and without wasting so much paper. (When you get dirt on your arm to you rub it with as much paper towel as you can? no you wash it in the sink and then use the towel. Same should go for your undercarriage). The install was very easy and straight forward. Took me 10 minutes total. The Vovo is a new level, my other bidets are not electric. I really like the automatic fan that turns on when you sit. The cleaning 'motion' the head uses does a good job. Plus having the water heated is a very nice touch. In my mind there are a few negatives; but not many. First was my fault. I assumed all round toilets are the same size - they are not. I have a super small one I guess; which means it doesn't fit perfectly. (Not VOVO fault, but my own). One issue I found with Vovo bidet is the length of the power cable. Its only about 4 feet. Meaning I need to run an extension cord to power the bidet. For the long term I will likely add a new power receptacle that is closer. Minor inconveniences - it takes a little time for the cleaning to start after you push the button on the remote. The remote also appears to be developed in 1989 given its size. Its responsive, its just a small brick. Does the dry button dry me? no not really, just a warm breeze. Really a great bidet.  Read Less

The VOVO WATERJET Bidet is a great bidet with an easy installation, but it has a fair share of issues.

The VOVO WATERJET Bidet is a great bidet with an easy installation, but it has a fair share of issues. The instructions are very simple and the whole process to get the bidet installed took me no time what so ever. The hardest and most time consuming part of the install was adding an electrical outlet near the toilet. One thing I'd like to mention that the instructions don't really focus on, is the orientation and position of the mounting bracket. I had to reinstall the mounting bracket 3 times as the first time I installed it upside down and the second time, backwards. When installing the mounting bracket you want the channels to be pointing up, this is where your metal square "washers" will sit, and you want the two openings on the bracket to face the front of the toilet as this is the place where the toilet seat slides into the bracket. I mention this, because this step on the instruction booklet is a very tiny picture. As a side note, the instructions are obviously translated from another language as they read as broken english, not impossible to understand but could use some work. Feature wise, the bidet is packed with them, I'll try to elaborate on each a bit more. The posterior wash is the key feature of this bidet, it works great, either by a steady stream or a rhythmic motion. Placement is decent, though I find myself having to sit back further than I normally would as even the furthest setting seems to almost not reach. My wife tried out the Feminine wash and wasn't too pleased with the results, essentially it is not the right angle for a decent clean. She also mentioned that extending the nozzle too far will cause water to spray between her legs and out of the toilet. The built in dryer is okay, it could use some more power to really speed things along but it gets the job done with a bit of patience. Seat temperature control is great, had it on by accident and it felt pleasant, can't wait to experience it in the middle of winter. Water temperature comes in at 3 levels, I have kept the bidet at level 1 as anything higher was just too uncomfortably hot. Dry temp honestly made no noticeable difference. The enema feature was lack luster, I was expecting more pressure and more oomph, however it's feels no different than the posterior wash on the highest water pressure setting. The LED Light is neat, it lights up your toilet! It's great for those late night bathroom runs for when you don't want to turn all the lights on. However, the light will stay on constantly.(Either always on or always off). I wish there was a light sensor that would only turn the LED Light on when it was actually dark in the room. The seat features an always on mode, which essentially keeps the seat and water at its set temperature. Or, there's power saving mode which activates the heat when you sit down on the seat, (so it might take a few min for everything to get up to temp). Also when you sit down, it triggers a sensor which starts up the intake fan to help with those gnarly odors. The biggest issue I have with the seat, is the power draw. Everytime someone uses the seat which activates the heaters, it will cause the lights in the bathroom to flicker, as it's drawing so much power to get the seat and water up to temp.  Read Less

Never tried bidet in action. Last month decided to give it a try. Read a lot of reviews, but could not see Korean made Vovo recommended and even almost never mentioned. Thanks to my friend who had bought Vovo three months ago and did not hesitate to recommend. Bought both. Assembled this $320 Vovo four days after doing the same with $525 Bio Bide 2000 which is top rated in the latest reviews and has log warranty and slightly more solidly built.

Never tried bidet in action. Last month decided to give it a try. Read a lot of reviews, but could not see Korean made Vovo recommended and even almost never mentioned. Thanks to my friend who had bought Vovo three months ago and did not hesitate to recommend. Bought both. Assembled this $320 Vovo four days after doing the same with $525 Bio Bide 2000 which is top rated in the latest reviews and has log warranty and slightly more solidly built. Vovo was assembled as easily as Bio Bidet. You do not need to hire a plumber for this easy task. Performance proved out to be almost equally good everywhere, except one less action-cleaning head oscillation. It is simply not provided in less expensive Vovo. Both have metal heads and both do a good job as far as cleaning processes are concerned. Vovo's "target adjusment" is more range limited, but adequate. Like Vovo's internal blue night lite design and usefulness much more than side mounted Bio's. Vovo's remote is a little easier to operate: you do not need to remember which two buttons to press to turn the light off. Liked it's simple lay out. Air cleaner does a very good job. Took one star off for drying-takes too long and not 100% dries. My Bio Bidet 2000 has the same issue.  Read Less
