TOTOSW3056#12 S550e WASHLET Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with Ewater+ and Auto Open and Close Contemporary Lid, Sedona Beige, Elongated

After a trip to Japan, the first thing I did when I got back was to have an electrician install outlets for a bidet. I did a ton of research and decided that this model was the one I was going to get. After using two of these for just over a year, here is my insights.Installation was a breeze and this is a well made product. Remote with button description are on the wall and works flawlessly. Responds every time and never had it activate randomly.One of the complaints I read about was odor from the seams in the seat, heater, and under the unit. I regularly use a Chlorox wipe (non bleach type) on the seat, paying particular attention to get into the outer and inner seam. Next, from underneath, I also clean everything, including under the little doors that open for the sprayer. Holding both sides of a wipe, you can easily move the wipe back and forth under each side of the unit where it covers the toilet rim. We do not use the dryer function, so we are not aware of any buildup that smells in the drying vent. No odors at all on either unit.I love the seat opening feature, but have disabled it on the one in the guest bathroom. It tends to startle guests and activates even if they are only using the bathroom to wash their hands. On the one in the master bathroom, it works great.Lastly, the seat heater is a great feature. Figure out what time you normally wake up and then use the timer feature to have it turn on just before. It is off overnight to not waste electricity.

I spent 2 weeks researching these bidet seat and finally decided on the the ToTo 550 E. I have never had or used one previously and realize now that was a big mistake. This thing is a dream! Installation was very easy. The only problem i am having is the flickering lights, as i took power from a wall switch on the opposite side of the wall. The instructions should state to use a dedicated circuit as i believe the amperage draw when running the heater , not mentioned will require a separate circuit. Its not a big problem now but i will eventually run a new line to the panel. The auto seat feature is nice however its something one could do without. The seat with this feature should only be installed if the toilet is in its own room or far enough away from other fixtures so it doesn't lift if you are at the sink. When the seat lifts it sprays down the bowl, as well as after you get up. two user settings can be locked in to control everything from temperature to pressure . The seat is nice and warm(can be adjusted) seat cover Rises when you get close and if your a guy another button will raise and lower the seat. When you leave the seat cover closes shortly after. I wanted one with all the bells and whistles and this is in the ensuite bathroom. The best thing of course is the experience, you feel so much cleaner after using this, the dryer is nice however unless your planning on sitting there for ten minutes you still need a few sheets of TP to completely dry. If your sitting on the fence about any bidet seat jump off cause i do believe this is a game changer one you wont regret. UPDATE a Year later. Still the best thing for toilets, runs like a champ with no problems. I would not be without this seat! Only thing I’ve needed is another filter which was about. 45.00 cdn. UPDATE two years later. Still working like new ! Year 3 still going strong no problems

The media could not be loaded. The bidet is a bit expensive vs competitors, but in my opinion it is worth the extra amount. The bidet had a solid build quality and comes with tons of features. Some features include: customization of lid auto-lift feature, self cleaning, timing of seat warmer, water pressure, and nozzle position. You also get two user customization slots so you and a +1 can adjust the settings to your personal liking.The dryer is also a beast on this bidet, by far the strongest I've experienced on a bidet. Have it go for 30-60 seconds and you'll be completely dry.As you can see in my video, the bidet does light up, however this is temporary. There is no ability to keep the light on indefinitely, so if you're in search for a bidet with a bowl nightlight, this isn't for you.Installation was simple, the manufacturer provides step by step instructions for you to follow.The remote control is very easy to use. There are two sides to it. One side are your bidet controls such as front and rear stream control/modes as well as the dryer function. On the other side of the remote you have your bidet system settings such as lid lift programming, seat heater settings, and bowl/self-clean settings.Overall this is a fantastic product and am very happy with my purchase.

This product has all the features I expect, without any functions that is only fancy but unnecessary. The price is excellent, it's half of the retail price in the store.I installed it on my existing toilet bowl. Installation is easy, just watch a YouTube video and the process is exactly like that. If you have an old house, the biggest challenge is probably dealing with the plumbing, or installing a power outlet in a tight spot. Fortunately for me, these were no issues. I don't even consider myself handy, yet I finished the installation pretty smoothly. No power tool is required, just a big flat head screw driver and a small cup to catch the dropping water when the water tube was disconnected from the tank. I did wrap some Teflon tape around all the water connectors. This is not in the installation instruction, but I always do that.Once the power is connected, everything works perfectly. The only feature I disabled is the auto lid open/close, since my toilet is right next to my bathtub, I don't want it to welcome me when I am just about to take a bath. I can still open the seat (not the lid) with a button on the remote (see picture). If you have a private toilet closet, this auto lid open/close feature would be perfect for you.All other features are very practical. It cleans, blows dry, filters the air, and cleans itself. There is no need to buy the Washlet+ model (integrated bowl and washlet), in my opinion, unless you want the auto flush function. If I'm building a new house, I would probably buy that, otherwise I think this model is just perfect.

This is probably then nicest looking bidet seat out there, the cotton white is a nice match to the almond colour of our elongated toilet. It’s smooth curves and low profile looks normal open or closed. Good seat too, more comfortable than the original seat, truly feels luxurious just sitting on it. Seat opening is wider and front lower, and the saddle curve just puts you in the he right spot. The seat heating is also constant, some others are barely warm at first then too hot. This is really an experience.The sounds are pretty muted even though it does a lot. Even the blow dryer is pretty quiet, and it moves a lot of air. I was surprised, it actually dries cheeks and all in under a minute, first bidet dryer that actually works, though not as well on the front wash areas. However if you have a temperature triggered skin condition as I do, it might be better to use more directed drying like the BioBidet.The sprays are fairly soft at least compared to our BioBidet 2000. That bidet is a real blaster, this one has a harder wash with just a bit of sting to let you know it’s cleaning well, but also a lot of warm soothing settings (hard to tell if they are cleaning something). Water temperature is extremely well controlled, absolutely no variation from the first spritz on.The remote could be better, mostly because it has no night lighting but only lights the function being used. The LCD display used for settings on the back is extremely hard to see for me without the backlight it really needs. It’s designed to be luxurious but a miss on that detail. Also, it’s hard to turn off some features even though the remote has a lot of settings, it’s not easy to stop the cover from popping up every time you walk by without turning off every other feature too.Installation: measure your toilet carefully, there us absolutely no adjustment for spacing between the seat mount holes. The box doesn't’ include a flexible hose to go from faucet to tee is missing, if you have older non-flexible connections to the toilet tank you will need to get a new hose. I noticed here is such a hose on the Amazon“Frequently purchased together “ list and now I know why.
