Quality, easy to install, sleek and beautiful.
Absolutely love this Toto. My second one; for the cottage. Can’t live without the warm toilet seat and all the other features.

We love this seat/ devise!!!
A game changer for my wife and myself - well made - well engineered and worth the money - you’ll never want to go back once you try this - the warm seat feels so good and all features work great!!

Heater discoloured the seat
This was purchased in February of 2022 and the seat has turned yellow. In looking up reviews of these seats they had a problem with turning yellow in the past with sunlight. I had an older model Toto (which was thicker plastic as well) in this same spot for several years and had no issue with discolouration. They have obviously gone back to using cheap plastic like they did years ago.

Such magnificence!
After the pandemic I became interested in bidets so I did my research and selected this one. I have never owned one, never used one, always wanted one, and I will always judge myself for the before-times! The seat warmer is great, the heated water is fantastic, and if you’re toying with getting this Toto you would be foolish not to! Easy to install and the first time I used it, I WISH I had done a user-experience video because I could’ve sold thousands of these things! Try it and never look back!

Way better than a Brondell
I purchased a Brondell Swash 1000 in Sept 2022, it works as my first bidet entry model, but the unit started to behave strangely, it refuses to operate when it fails to detect the user. I ended up return the unit in April and bought this TOTO bidet. Installation is very straightforward, TOTO also included a small plastic lid cushion for contact between the lid and the toilet tank, it's a small thing, but I do appreciate TOTO's attention to details....

Bidet is very easy to use, the sensors work waaaaaay better than my previous Brondell Swash 1000. It's also more intuitive. The dryer is more powerful and does not time-out easily. You can also save different user settings. Having used it for more than 4 months, this unit hasn't yet misbehave once. I highly recommend this bidet unit.

Stop scraping your bum with wood fiber!
This is the third Toto washlette I own, and it really hits the sweet spot (no pun intended) of price, quality and features. It works very well, and the remote is the best I have seen from the company. Never runs out of warm water. I like the ewater thing, which really does seem to help keep the bowl clean. I also like the low profile of this version, which makes it less obtrusive. I had previously bought another brand (Brondell), but it did not last as long as the Totos do....

I got convinced that these things were the civilized, ecological and effective way to go after spending a few months in Japan. Folks in the States seem kind of scared of them. But after you use one awhile, the old way just seems rather primitive and crude.

When ordering
A great product. Just be careful to note that the extension cord to run it is supplied so no need to order another. I was confused by the claim beneath that others had ordered an extension cord.

Perfect !
Easy to install, the product is high quality and we love it. Exactly the same we used in japan. The remote is easy to use and you have a magnetic mount to fixe it on the wall. It has many mode to use. I would buy it again. Worth the money!

Game changer
I can’t believe I hadn’t caught onto bidets sooner. This is one of those few items I would say is a must have. It doesn’t even need to be this model, just get a bidet. It’s so much more sanitary. This one is good. Has all of the features you would want. The water+ pre rinse doesn’t seem to keep our toilet bowl cleaner longer but it does help keep crap from sticking when doing the business. The dryer is powerful but because of the lack of angle, it takes a bit to dry up the crevice. A couple shee... I can’t believe I hadn’t caught onto bidets sooner.

The dryer is powerful but because of the lack of angle, it takes a bit to dry up the crevice. A couple sheets of toilet paper does the trick. It keeps itself clean quite well and cleans you up really well. Most of the times my toilet paper comes up spotless when drying. The on demand water heating is good but we notice ours isn’t always consistent when in use. It will go from warm to warmer to lukewarm to warm and warmer again. The underglow lighting is a nice add on when you are going at night in the dark, no night light necessary. The biggest negative id say is the toilet seat itself becomes smaller since the back uses up space for all of the hardware. Some people might dislike that. If you want to maintain your toilet seats footprint for your buttprint, I would look elsewhere. It took me a little getting used to but it doesn’t bother me anymore. Oh and the touch controller is OK, I prefer physical buttons.
