VOVO VB-4 Bidet Toilet Seat Owners Reviews

I'd been intrigued by bidets for a little;e while. Many people had recommended one. Certainly, if you look through reviews for this model and others, you'll see folks saying a bidet is a game-changer! Perhaps, like me, you're a bit skeptical.

I'd been intrigued by bidets for a little;e while. Many people had recommended one. Certainly, if you look through reviews for this model and others, you'll see folks saying a bidet is a game-changer! Perhaps, like me, you're a bit skeptical. So, after a few weeks of use, here are my thoughts! I was doing a bathroom renovation anyway, so I had a GFCI-protected outlet installed close to the toilet specifically for plugging in a bidet. At that time I hadn't chosen a specific bidet yet, I just knew I wanted one that could heat the water and perhaps dry as well. I highly recommend doing the same, even if you're not renovating the entire room! I chose this VOVO bidet due to its combination of features, price, and positive reviews. It had everything I was looking for: a heated water jet, some basic sprayer position controls, a remote control, and a dryer. It is also quite sleek and minimalist which I appreciated. Installation was dead easy. I liked that it came with a positioning template, and two different sets of mounting hardware to suit different types of toilets. The water line installs in-line with the toilet water supply, and of course a single power cord just plugs into a standard outlet. The whole process was complete in less than half an hour. I'll admit this is the first and only bidet I've ever tried. But I think it works very well! The water stream starts out soon temperature but reaches the pre-set temperature almost immediately. The temperature can be changed from no heat to quite warm. The spray is timed so you just have to press the button once then scoot your butt left or right to make sure the spray hits the "bullseye". Ha! There are controls on the remote to control the forward and back position to accommodate different sized behinds. Once the spray is complete, the nozzle automatically carries out a self-clean. The dryer is next. This might be my only complaint. While you can vary the temperature of the dryer from "no heat" to "I think I sat on a hot coal", I wasn't able to find a low enough heat setting without turning off the heat entirely. So, I just use the lowest heat setting and kinda lean forward a bit so the heat isn't so concentrated. Maybe I just have a sensitive butt? Typically the dryer does a great job of drying up almost all the water, and so I only have to use two or three squares of toilet paper to dab away any remaining moisture. I have not tried the feminine wash since I don't have the right parts. But I assume it works just as well as the posterior wash. I like that the remote is cordless, and that it comes with a universal mounting bracket. It just feels more hygienic, having the controls far away from the action. Oh! And it's quiet. Surprisingly quiet. I would have no qualms about using the bidet with people in the room next door. I bought this bidet on sale on Prime day, and I think it was absolutely worth the money. I started out a skeptic, but you can count me as a convert now! It's no stretch to say that I just feel a bit more hygienic now. Read Less

I installed this VOVO Waterjet bidet seat on a 25-year-old Mansfield “round bowl” toilet. The opening on the toilet is 12” long and 11” wide, so the opening is not quite round. The opening on the bidet seat is 11.5” long and 8” wide, which is smaller than the opening on the toilet, but because the bidet seat is offset slightly forward (even when I have it mounted as far back as possible), the seat doesn’t cover the front edge of the bowl. This mismatch can be a little problematic for males when... Read More

I installed this VOVO Waterjet bidet seat on a 25-year-old Mansfield “round bowl” toilet. The opening on the toilet is 12” long and 11” wide, so the opening is not quite round. The opening on the bidet seat is 11.5” long and 8” wide, which is smaller than the opening on the toilet, but because the bidet seat is offset slightly forward (even when I have it mounted as far back as possible), the seat doesn’t cover the front edge of the bowl. This mismatch can be a little problematic for males when sitting on the bidet seat. I’ve installed electric bidet seats on other toilets, so I was familiar with the basic steps for installation. This VOVO seat was easy to install with only a few tools, but I did have a problem installing the washers that fit between the rubber packing and the fixing nut. The washers included in my installation kit had an ID that was too small to fit over the 29/64” diameter fixing bolts. I had to drill out the washers to 15/32” before I could install the base bracket. It would be helpful to me if the 4-foot-long power cord was longer by a couple of feet. The remote control comes with a holder that can be mounted on a wall near the toilet. I did not use the adhesive strip that came with the mount because my experience has been that those strips are difficult to remove from painted surfaces. I instead used a removable strip. Having the remote within reach allows me to push the control buttons without removing the remote from the holder. The bidet works well and I’m pleased. I appreciate that there are a range of settings for functions such as water temperature, air (fan) temperature, seat temperature and water jet pressure. Each of these parameters can be adjusted while the bidet is operating. Made in Korea.  Read Less

This is a great upgrade to any bathroom and very good value for money for the features that are included compared to the other alternative bidet seats. It is easy to install and comfortable to use.

This is a great upgrade to any bathroom and very good value for money for the features that are included compared to the other alternative bidet seats. It is easy to install and comfortable to use. After seeing a bidet seat at a friend’s home, my wife was keen to get one for our bathroom as she liked the heated seat function. When we remodeled our bathroom, I added a GFCI outlet near the toilet so we could make the update at some point. We picked this VOVO bidet seat for a few of reasons (1) it has most of the features you find on a ‘brand’ name bidet seat which can cost 2-4 times as much (2) it has a portable, easy to clean remote control instead of the control panel that permanently sits beside the toilet seat and gets covered with who knows what before you press the buttons with your fingers! and (3) I have traveled many times to Korea with my job and saw the VOVO brand seats in a few hotel rooms there. Operation is very simple using the remote control. The following controls are available: Seat temperature 97/100/104 degrees Fahrenheit Water temperature 97/100/104 F Air drying temperature 97/100/104 F The water pressure has 5 positions as does the location of the water jet nozzle. There are a couple of preset functions intended to suit both male and female users. A sensor that is built into the seat will activate the seat heater and also the deodorizing fan as soon as you sit down. When not in use, the seat goes into energy saving mode after an hour, switching the seat heater off and keeping the water at 86 degrees F. The seat sensor also ensures that the water jet won’t work without someone parked on the seat to make sure the bathroom doesn’t get sprayed with water if the kids decide to play with the remote! One of the cool features is a built in LED night light that helps avoid any close encounters of the thurd kind and can be controlled with the remote. If you lose the remote of the batteries die, you can still make use of the bidet features using the smaller control panel built into the side of the seat. When you need to clean the seat the nozzle can be extended in a ‘cleaning’ mode. Installation is very simple and everything you need to install it on a conventional or one-piece toilet. Switch off the water valve, undo the water hose from the bottom of the tank and add the chrome ‘T’ piece included in the kit and reconnect the water hose to the bottom of the T. Then remove your old seat, install this one and connect the seat’s water hose to the ‘T’. Next load the included AA batteries into the remote and find a spot to mount the magnetized remote control holder with its self-adhesive pad. Finally switch the water back on and plug in the seat and you’re done inside of 20 minutes total. I did have one issue during installation where the red power light was flashing. I couldn’t find this covered anywhere in the User Manual so I emailed VOVO technical support and they were helpful in correcting the issue. Evidently the power light flashes if the water in the heated water storage tank is low so all that was needed was to unplug the seat from mains power for a few minutes and plug it back in. The bidet seat is made in Korea and comes with two year warranty.  Read Less

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).
