I bought the Toto c100 as my first bidet after countless amounts of research with other different brands and I ended up settling with this one. I have 2.5 bathrooms in my house and bought 1 for all of them including new toilets the were high efficiency because I needed to solve my water problem and have had them for the last 3 months. When I say these bidets have changed my life and my families lives, I really mean they changed them!!! I will never go back to toilet paper as it cleans absolutely EVERYTHING and when you think your done it releases the leftovers after a wash having you wash a second time for a thorough clean and it doesn’t waste water because it only uses 0.1gpm of water!!!!!! Nor does it hog electricity especially when you put it in energy saver mode!!! And it’s super easy to clean and most importantly, NO MORE SLAMMING TOILET SEATS!!! This is definitely an awesome quality product that is worth the money to buy!

@@michaelhinchey I got elongated seats with my new elongated toilets (now 8 months old). The toilet I bought was a niagara stealth ultra high efficiency toilet for all my bathrooms that use 0.8gpm water. I haven’t had any of the issues people have with the toilets since i paired them with the bidets and don’t flush toilet paper down the toilet anymore because I don’t use toilet paper. The dryer does work in my opinion and again the bidet cleans everything, I’ve checked with a camera to see that there was nothing leftover to see how good of a job instead of stain checking my boxers because there still could be hidden pieces from what I heard stuck (trying not to be gross but give a clear truthful statement) I love it! My wife loves it! My kids love it! A testimony for my kids they did use to have stains from using toilet paper because of learning how to clean properly back there. Now they don’t because the bidet cleans everything and I’ve taught them how easy it is to use. In the last 8 months my water bill and sewage bill has gone down DRAMATICALLY! since I’ve been using my new toilets paired with these bidets and I’m lovin’ it! Best investment!

Hello: I’ve had this device for a while and there is this tiny spray hole to the left of the nozzle. It is for cleaning or desinfecting the bowl before you go to the bathroom. Well, this little hole now is clogged with scale or something… I’ve tried to unclogg it By putting some vinegar with a serynge, left it for a while, and it has unclogged, but now this hasn’t worked… what can I do???

@TheGrumpyPlumber

TheDarkGamer, I have never dealt with this brand. First thing I would do is to turn the supply water off, disconnect it, and run the water in a bucket to see if there is good pressure there. If there is good pressure, then the problem is in the seat. I would use a new braided stainless steel supply line. If you don’t have good pressure at the angle stop, I would change that too. Before you reconnect, see if there is a screen on the connection that might be blocked with debris that would slow the pressure. Check your spray nozzle and if rubber, clean with your hand to remove the lime. My newest Washlet toilet seat has a button for the rear spray and when you touch it twice, it produces more pressure. Plus you can control the pressure on the remote. Does your toilet seat have that feature? I hope this helps. If you are not happy with this model, hopefully you can return it and try another brand. I really like how I can control the pressure.....very important feature on any brand.

Jeff, my wife has no complaints on Toto brand toilets. Usually better quality toilets have a better glaze which helps to keep them clean. Do not use any toilet tank “ hockey puck” cleaners! Don’t let toilet bowl liquid cleaners sit in the bowl for very long.

If they can’t fix it, they will send a shipping box, repair it and send back to you. If in warranty, no charge. There is a reasonable fee otherwise.

My girlfriend beat on me for months to get one of these things because her friend in Florida got one and when we visited her she fell in love with having water washing her butt. I tried to explain to her that where we live the water coming into the house for 6 months of the year is in the mid 40’s to low 50’s and with her two girls and her and I along with her girls friends the toilet is used a couple times an hours from sun up to mid evening and the water in the toilet tank is going to be the same temperature as the cold water in the sink which even in the summer at 70 degrees or more is cold. Well I bought one and installed it and when she used the first time and that cold water hit her lady parts she jumped up and off that toilet seat like a cat on a hot tin roof. Just a little FYI to think about before buying one

If you bought a Toto Washlet with the heated water, you can set the temperature on the remote. With time between using it, you should have plenty of warm water. The water comes directly from your water source and heated inside the seat. If bought from Amazon, return it and buy the upgraded heated water one…model # SW3084 white around $400. A nice Valentine present. ♥️

Mine cost more like $350 (Toshiba SCS-SW301) and I installed it myself. There are people who practice open defecation and I'm sure they feel about toilets the way that you feel about washlets. As for me, I can no longer imagine life without it and I'd rather spend $1000 on a toilet seat than on a new phone.
