Revainrating 5 out of 5

Outrageously expensive

Outrageously expensive, that's it really. It's too embarrassing to tell someone how much you paid for it, so be prepared to dodge these questions. But the wow factor, the comfort and the fun are worth it. Instantly transforms your bathroom into the coolest space to hang out. Forget TV, people will come for that. This is an electronic device that will actually wipe your ass. The coolest thing about it is probably what's unique about this particular device - automatic opening and closing, meaning a familiarity factor that's immediately stunning, but also intimidating to most people and intimidating to others. The remote control is very sleek and has an LCD screen on the back to control the water, seat and dryer temperature. Once you use the heated seat, other toilet seats will seem very primitive. Wash your back, front, have some fun. Update: well the coolest part is the auto opener broke, now it opens halfway, gets stuck, tries really hard, gives up and slams back really hard. This is believed to be because the seat leaned back too many times when trying to open and the motor failed. Well if you have cats be careful, my cat loved this bidet and landed on it so many times when trying to open it. But for that much money, Toto should have taken some precautions to avoid this problem or at least to support their premium product, but the warranty for it is only 1 year, that's totally unacceptable for a near thousand dollar product. What's also really annoying is that the button under the seat, which you press when you sit in it and determine if someone is using it, is only on the right-hand side. It could be TMI, but it's easier for me to lean left while swiping, which disables that button, causing the toilet flush to splash on you and the lid to close while you're still seated, uncomfortably . All they had to do was just snap buttons on either side to fix it. Sometimes it also closes when you stand and urinate, then you have an important decision to make. Its human detection mechanisms are not very good. Also, the top button on the seat/lid remote doesn't work every time you press it, and a replacement remote costs over $100.
