TOTO® WASHLET® K300 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with Instantaneous Water Heating, PREMIST and EWATER+ Wand Cleaning, Elongated, Cotton White - SW3036R#01

Bidet seats in general are fantastic. Once you try it, it's hard to contemplate going back.I purchased this one after a bunch of research. Many online sources (e.g., Wirecutter) recommend the Toto C5 as a great bidet seat that has all the features you need at a ...sort of reasonable price. This unit has all the same features plus tankless hot water instead of a warm water reservoir. There are several advantages to this: 1) you never run out of warm water, 2) the profile of the seat gets streamlined, and 3) the K300 is more power efficient for water than the C5. The rear of this unit is about half an inch lower than the C5, but the whole seat is more sveldt. Right now the K300 is $150 or so more than the C5 and I find the price increase to be worth it for these advantages.The rest of this review would likely apply to the C5 as well, as their features sets are the same other than tankless hot water.Heated Seat:Not the foremost thing people think about with bidet seats, but it's very comforting! Two thumbs up!Ewater+ and Premist:These are great features that help make the unit less likely to need cleaning. Ewater+ is electrolyzed water that washes the wand before and after each use. Anything that minimizes your need to clean the wand is going to be a good thing, so I appreciate this one. Premist means the seat spritzes down the bowl as soon as you sit on it. This really does prevent the bowl from getting messy. Since I've had the unit, I haven't had to work on...uh...removing evidence of use, let's say. That's something I often reluctantly had to engage in prior to installing the seat.Wand Features:This unit comes with the usual suspects of oscillation and pulsation, both of which I've found to be helpful. Volume, temp, and placement are easily adjustable from the remote.Deodorization:A fan sucks fumes from the bowl through a filter. This starts as soon as you sit down, and is more aggressive for 1 minute right after you get off the seat. Shockingly, this actually works pretty well except maybe against the toughest of stinkers. I don't find the fan noise to be offensive at night, but you can deselect this function if the noise bothers you.Remote:Simple and effective. All features are available on the remote and it took one or two uses to become completely familiar with it. It's intuitive. The remote has two memories, so you and your partner can easily select your preferences in a snap.Install:Really not too difficult. Maybe 30 minutes of work. I got no leaks on the first try. You must have a GFCI outlet within 3 feet of the toilet for the cord to reach.All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great bidet. very easy to install the unit itself. I did hire an electrician to install a new outlet near the toilet, but it was less than a 1 hour job and very simple. The unit performs exactly as described. There are cheaper models on the market, but the added features of this model are nice. Once I learned how to shut off the beeping and turn on the ECO settings, it's been great. Been using it for a few months now with no complaints.I do wish the cradle/dock for the remote was a little more "secure" given that if it falls and breaks, the whole unit will be rendered useless. I'm always afraid it will get knocked off the cradle and shatter on the ground.

Its a bidet! :) It may seem strange to talk about this, but I'm actually going to try to describe what makes this so great.I can imagine how much money is wasted on toilet paper, or paper that can be put to better use this helps with that.I always thought about this, but never had tried it and I'm impressed. I use historically a lot of toilet paper. It's quite costly. This can pay itself off in about 3 years for most, or even less if you are like me. I was using a 3-4 roles a week easy, and here you don't really need to use hardly anyway. For me it's closer to 2.5 years I'll get a pay off. And this isn't even a cheap unit. i think it's worth it though because it has self cleaning features and a warm seat, and instant hot water. It has just the key settings you need.It's really comfortable, cleaner, and healthier, and frankly just faster and less hassle.For some people the positioning of the seat it a little different you are more forward and it's more sloped you get used to it after a couple of weeks. I wish the lid were made out of a heavier gauge of plastic; it's not a huge deal.Install was easy. I have a glacier bay toilet, and a toto toilet it works on both.I've had it a while now, i waited to write this review, because toilets aren't my wheelhouse and I wanted to cover it after i get some experience. It's quite solid. The only drawback with me is I've not tried many, but i was able to still endorse this because of the key features. Unlimited warm water, and the heated seat I would think would be rather nice for most, along with the cleaning capability.I can't think of anything that would give me hesitation on it. Even the cost. It's a classic people who buy things like this end up saving in the long run. Though he life of the toilet seat, we are talking about many thousands of dollars and easier on your plumbing. It's also easier on your skin and sensitive areas which from a health perspective is advantageous and cleaner. It's like buying a coffee maker, you buy a good one and they last 20-30 years like the mocha master or a cheap one and they die in 3-5. Sometimes you buy things because they pay off in time, and they have quality. It takes some discipline or a leap of faith that the thing will last. These have solid reliability ratings.I think you should give this a try. I love mine, if it's too much you could get the step down of course, if you don't care about these featuers. It's one of these things though that since it ultimately saves you some money, if you use it it's easier to justify some of the nice feature so you keep using it if that makes sense. That's show i looked at this.
