Bidet toilet seats have definitely come of age, and there are some terrific models on the market with all sorts of fancy functionality, funky remote control handsets, built-in deodorizing units, and heated toilet seats. In fact the modern bidet toilet seat, as well as providing wonderful cleansing and hygiene functionality, could excuse you from thinking that you’re actually going to the toilet at all, such is the removal of nasty niffs, and the elimination of bottom wiping.
If you are to purchase something like one of the Toto Washlet bidet seats for between $ 400 and US $ 700 you’re getting a product that would look more at home on the starship Enterprise than in a ‘two up two down’ in the middle of Clapham . So what does this type of seat offer you, and is it worth the money?
Well to start with, the Toto Washlet is relatively easy to install, replacing your standard seats, and requiring a small amount of electrical and plumbing work to get it fully functional. Once this is done you can use the remote control panel to set up the type of cleaning you want, whether you want anterior or posterior wands to be utilized, would you like a warm water massage, and for how long?
Once the cleaning is out the way, feel free to indulge in a little warm air drying, no need for toilet roll, you might as well strike that off your shopping list. Oh, and whilst you are at it, lets not buy any more air freshener either, the Washlet will do all that for you with its built-in deodorizing function.
Don’t you just hate it when somebody leaves the toilet seat up? Well you need hate it no longer, the Toto Washlet has an automatic seat that will rise as you enter the room and close behind you, and by the way, it’s a soft close seat so you don’t have to worry about loud clattering as it closes.
If that doesn’t tempt you, there are lots of cheaper bidet seats on the market including some cold water ones that simply fit under your existing toilet seat with a dial on the side to allow you to adjust the water pressure. You will need to plumb these in to your existing water feed, but this is a fairly simple task. You can buy one of these low-cost bidet upgrades for between 60 and $ 150, about no match for the Toto Washlet bidet toilet seat.
