TOTO SW2034#01 C100 Electronic Bidet Toilet Cleansing Water, Heated Seat, Deodorizer, Warm Air Dryer, and PREMIST, Elongated, Cotton White

Our bathroom set up is such that we couldn’t run a line from sink to toilet for hot water so we had to buy and electric unit. Idaho winters are cold and the pipes I our 95 year old house are insulted enough to prevent freezing but not much more. I have Reynaud’s (exposure to cold causes vasospasm / blood vessels to contract.) When this happens to my finger tips it feels like getting hit with a hammer. When it happened to my nipples the first time I, the pain in my poor little black nips made me want for death. I can’t imagine what that would feel like on the back foot or lady bits. So for me, warm water in a bidet was worth the price two fold (especially during the great TP hoarding pandemic of 2020). Could you get warm water with other units for less? Yes, but the bum blow dryer is great. Who wants to walk around with clean by wet tush or have to use TO to pat dry when you can get a nice warm breeze on the backside? Not to mention the heated seat that is especially nice for middle of the night tinkling as it avoids that cold seat shock. This model also puts out a mist of water as soon as it feels pressure on the seat in theory to help prevent things from sticking to the inside of the bowl. Does this work? Seems to help though I can’t say I made a real study of it. However, what I can say for sure is that if you have a golden retriever who plays dumb so that she can get away with being naughty beast, she may likely love this feature and view it as her own personal drinking fountain. We genuinely believed we had improperly installed the unit or had a faulty line at first until I caught her - head under the lid, body weight half on the seat half on the control panel, spraying herself in the face and soaking the floor. This speaks not only to the units stream the to put up with the weight of a chunky golden retriever bearing her weight across the control panel, but also to its user friendliness. If my dog can figure it out, certainly anyone in your household can as well. (This May mean you too will have to start keeping the bathroom door shut as the lid on this unit is light enough for my dogs to flip up with their noses so keeping the lid shut will not be enough) My kids acclimated to the bidet seat quickly, even my 13 year old son who was initially skeptical no seems to prefer to use the upstairs bathroom where the bidet is installed to the one near his bedroom. Given all of our quick acclimation to it we have used 80% less toilet paper this month. This still even after the increased bathroom use associated with the frequent need I have had to go number two quickly -if you get my meaning - as I have had some medicine changes and medical issues that have caused frequent use of the backside buttons. This is another huge point in favor of this unit. It not only has adjustable pressure settings but two separate buttons for the backdoor, one for “backside“ and one for “backside soft.“ Given my GI issues I had a bloody backside from frequent wiping such that it caused serious pain to wipe. Now not having to drag TP across a sore BH, I feel so much better. I know that’s an over share to most, but for those of you with celiacs, fissures, or other conditions that require frequent TP you understand what I mean when I say this bidet has rescued my bum from what seemed a routine of wiping with fine grit sand paper. I had surgery on my lady gear and no longer have a period but I would imagine this would feel so nice to be able to feel clean again each time you use the bathroom. (Not that there is anything unnatural or shameful about getting your period, but it just feels nice to feel clean especially if like I did, you have a heavy heavy flow. My youngest just started hers and seems to appreciate this aspect of the bidet.) And again they have thoughtfully given a separate button for this as well. So regardless of if you have normal backdoor cleaning, need a soft gentle wash in the rear, are a lady who doesn’t want to have to adjust her seated position to properly clean, or if you’d like a blow dried bum. There are buttons for each all with separate adjustments for pressure and temperature (as well as a seat heater adjustment as well.) Lastly, the unit also has a self cleaning setting to spray off the inside and outside of the sprayers (which are all housed behind plastic walls to be protected when not in use).Everything about this bidet is user friendly and customizable for your comfort. I can’t recommend this enough. If you are considering this unit because of its ease of installation, the knowledge that the manufacturer has a long history of making quality bidets, because you have medical issues which could be eased or made more comfortable, if you want to feel cleaner than dry wiping (I mean really if you got Pooh on your shoe would you clean it with TP or wash it off), or you just don’t want to have to worry about running out of toilet paper ever again. This unit is so much more than worth the price.... just be sure to keep the bathroom door shut if you have a naughty golden retriever.

I am going to give this one a five star, but at the same time point out some problems that the buyer be aware of. The bidet itself does a great job of cleaning, with warm water and at a very high pressure that helps do the job. The controls and functions are just right for all adjustments and to customize for individual requirements. The pre-mist feature helps keep the toilet clean, the fan and the deodorizer ensures the toilet is not smelly. I had used the unit before during my visits to Tokyo, Japan and the hotel had a same/similar unit and I loved it. The cleaning water pressure and temperature played an important role in decision making, combined with the ability to customize the nozzle position.Now be aware of 2 issues:1. The seat occupies lot of toilet space! I installed it on Kohler elongated toilet which is large. But the bidet seat reduces the toilet opening size smaller. In short the unit is big. It is not a major problem or a show stopper, but be aware.2. I am surprised not many reviews have mentioned but the T valve used for installation can be problematic. The T Valve on the toilet tank side will leak and unless you use Teflon tape on the threads and use different washers the T Valve will continue to leak. The way US toilet connectors on the flexible piping on the toilet tank side is designed, all you need is hand tightening. The tank side of the US made connectors have built in conical washer that snugs into the input tube of flush tank and snugly tightens into the tank with few hand turns. That's not the case with T valve that comes with this unit. Also the washers that comes with the TOTO T valve are useless and in the absence of a conical washer will leak on the tank side. Also the tightening nut on T Valve needs a spanner ( cannot be hand tightened), so be very careful do not over tighten as either it will break the tank inlet tube or loosen it and water from flush tank will leak.So here is the way to install: Go to OSH (Home Depot does not have them) and buy 4 of 3/8" Rubber Union Washers (Thrifco Plumbing or any other brand). These are made of flexible rubber. Use 2 on each side of the T Valve. Now these washers are slightly bigger in their outer diameter. You will have to push them in evenly using a flat screw driver. Also use plenty of Teflon threading tape on both sides. Install the lower end of the T Valve first as T needs to be held with a spanner and may need two spanner, one for holding the T and the other for tightening the tube coming from the wall. Then using a spanner slowly tighten the upper end of the T into the inlet of the Flush tank, keep tightening till the middle end of the T (plastic part) does not move freely. That should be your signal to slow down. Tighten 1/8th turn at a time ensuring the inlet to the flush tank does not loosen or starts to loosen.In my case when I stopped, I opened the valve and water still dripped, very slowly though, I tightened 1/8 turn one more time and the dripping stopped.However let this not stop buying you this product as it is very good! comfortable, sturdy, smells nice - and that is important!
