TOTO washlet S550e S500e review SW3056 SW3054 SW3044 SW3046
Welcome to the Many Bidets review of the TOTO S500e (SKUs: SW3046#01 and SW3044#01) and S550e (SKUs: SW3054#01 and SW3056#01). When it comes to these two models the only difference is auto opening and the night light. The S550e offers a night light and auto opening while the S500e does not. It is also important to note that both models come with two designs a classic design with a beveled edge and a modern or contemporary design with a smooth edge. This edge only relates to the lid and in this review we will be looking at the modern or contemporary design. The differences between these two trims is purely cosmetic and only affects the lid of the washlet. With the new TOTO S500e and S550e, TOTO has redesigned their nozzle setup. In the past they used a dual nozzle now they have switched to a single nozzle with multiple washes built into it. We have rear wide and narrow washes as well as front wide and narrow washes all built into one sleek nozzle. You will notice that the nozzle is still plastic. They have not yet switched to the stainless steel or aluminum nozzles that many other bidet seats on the market offer. These units do offer eWater+ which sterilizes the water used to wash the nozzles before and after each use. Some other seats offer similar functionality but it is a fairly rare feature to see even in a high-end bidet seat. Here we see eWater+ at work while the nozzle runs through self-cleaning. This happens every time you sit on the seat, to prepare the nozzle for use. Now we see the wide or soft rear wash running and the nozzle position being adjusted to fit the operator's preferences. Although it's a little bit harder to see we can also see that the water pressure is being changed as well as a massage wash being run. A massage wash pulsates between strong and soft streams to offer a massaging sensation. We can now see the oscillating wash run which covers a wider surface area. Oscillation can be run along with any of the other wash settings as desired. We are now looking at the normal rear cleaning which offers all of the same functions as the wide clean just with a more narrow stream. Note that once again the nozzle runs through self-cleaning after the wash is completed as well. Now we see the front wash being run, keep in mind that the front wash also offers a wide and a narrow stream option, the wide option being the softer wash of the two. Just like the other washes, you can adjust power, you can adjust temperature, nozzle position and choose between massage and oscillating washes. Now we are taking a look at the nozzle from the top. Again keep in mind that any of the washes can be completely customized based on your preference; water temperature, pressure, and position of the nozzle are all fully customizable. One of the other important topics to talk about is water flow. The S550e and the S500e come in at a pretty standard water flow rate of 0.11 gallons per minute. There are other seats on the market that offer higher water flow and lower water flow. For details about how the water flow will affect your particular washing experience feel free to reach out to us. Our contact information is in the video description below. We'll look at some additional features when we review the remote in a moment, such as deodorizer, warm air dryer and the heated seat. Once the wash is completed you can dab dry with toilet paper or use the warm air dryer for completely hands-free experience. It's also important to note that the s550e and the S500e only come in elongated and have replaced the S350e and S300e for elongated models only. One other feature that we've not talked about yet is unique to the TOTO line and that's premisting. Both of these units will premist the bowl, that is spray it down with water before use. This layer of water helps to keep anything from sticking to the bowl while the toilet is in use. Lastly before we look at the remote we see the warm air dryer in action. Both the S550e and S500e come with a sleek remote and wall mount. Store the remote in the wall mount when not in use and even operate the remote from the wall mount if so desired. The remote looks classy and feels good when being held in your hand. The front side of the remote is simple and the back side holds the...
