PREMIUM SEAT

BB-2000W BioBidet of luxury Bliss series became the new leader among premium bidet seats! This model combines modern design with the highest technology. The seat has a sleek design and elongated shape making it suitable for most toilets. BB-2000W BioBidet electric toilet seat boasts an impressive functionality, and we would like to highlight the most impressive features.

The previous model, BB-1000, has a reservoir tank heater that can provide the hot water for just 40 seconds. Bio Bidet team has upgraded its new generation product and equipped it with on-demand Hybrid Heating Technology. Thus, users get a more compact item (without bulky tank inside) with never ending warm water. The temperature can be selected in four settings – room temperature, low, medium, and high. The seat possesses patented 3-in-1 stainless steel nozzle system with different spray outlets for a feminine wash, posterior wash, and turbo (enema) wash. Plus! You can always increase or decrease the water pressure and temperature via the remote control. You can also personalize a nozzle position forward or backward to suit your body.

As for additional functions, customers will surely appreciate an air dry feature helping with residual moisture after washing, HydroFlush 'Inside-Out' cleaning option rinsing the nozzle with water after each use, and an air deodorizer eliminating unwanted odors. On top of that, Bio Bidet BB-2000W boasts the energy saving feature that switches the seat to sleep when it's not in use.

Add to that the massaging function and this is hands down the best bidet toilet seat.

EVOLUTION OF ELECTRIC BIDET TOILET SEAT

The history of electronic bidets goes back to the 1980s. They were the Japan engineers who invented such a smart electric device also called a Washlet. But what was its prototype? Unfortunately, nobody knows for sure when and where the first bidet was invented.

The bidet (bee-day) is considered to be a French invention, though the roots of the earliest written references run back to Italy, 1710. So, the French or the Italians? Who knows.

The first primitive bidets looked like simple bowls one could squat over, and they were usually used in bedrooms. Bidets weren't changed much since then until the 1900s when they were, at last, moved into a bathroom. As a rule, a bidet was installed next to the toilet and had a spray faucet.

The first bidet toilet seat was invented by an American Arnold Cohen. The bidet seat was presented in the US in 1964, but it didn't become popular among Americans. Instead, it found its customers in Japan. In order to make them highly technological and extra convenient, they equipped bidet seats with more and more extra features. So, it's not strange that the first electric bidet toilet seat was invented in Japan!

HOW TO INSTALL A BIDET SEAT

More than 90% people usually install bidet seats by themselves. Really, such seats are intended for DIY installation and by following our tips, you will be able to install it within 20-30 minutes.

  • Electric bidet seats require electricity supply, so make sure you have a free outlet nearby to power it.
  • Remove your existing toilet seat. Close your lid and seat, then find two caps with bolts inserted behind the seat. Open these caps and then unscrew the bolts with a flathead screwdriver. As soon as you remove the bolts, lift your toilet seat up. Thus, you’ll get a seat-less toilet with two free mounting holes.
  • Mount your bidet seat. First of all, install the mounting bracket onto your toilet. To make it, place the mounting bracket over these two mounting holes. Then, insert the guide rails on both sides of the bracket. Next, drop the bolts through the guide rails and holes. Don't forget to secure the bolts by fastening the nuts. Finally, slide your bidet seat onto the bracket, you will hear a “click”. Now your bidet is securely fixed!
  • Connect the bidet to the water supply. Good news! No additional plumbing is required. Since almost all bidet seats have water heaters or a heating system inside, they don't require a hot water line. So, just tap a T-Connection (comes in the set) into the existing cold water supply behind your toilet and to your toilet’s water tank. That's all!

What customers say about this product

Key Specs(4.6)

Once that bidet was removed the Toto was very easily and quickly installed. Almost no tools were required except for a screw driver to secure the seat hold down bracket to the toilet. The Toto Washlet then snapped onto the bracket easily.

Hygiene(4.6)

I don't see a need to cover every feature since they can be read in the product spec, but I feel it is important to mention that this unit comes with two types of rear washes.

Features(4.6)

This model has all the needed features and fancy gizmos

Control(4.6)

A well responding attached control panel is an advantage for us comparing to a remote.

Customize the Most Private Experience

SmartBidet SB-1000, as the name suggests, isn't just a toilet seat with a heating function but also a bidet. Compared to some of the more expensive models, its bidet modes are limited to just Posterior, Feminine, Turbo, and Oscillation. But, honestly, that's more than a regular person ever uses anyway.

As far as we're concerned, the best part about this model is the retractable, self-cleaning nozzle and an air dryer located right next to that nozzle. The "self-cleaning" part implies that before and after the nozzle extends for a wash, the tool cleans itself for obvious hygienic purposes. It will allow you to adjust its position and the water pressure, so you'll be able to customize this little private experience the way you see fit.

The aforementioned air dryer, not dissimilar to the nozzle, incorporated 5 adjustment levels, again allowing you to customize it according to your own comfort.

Other than that, the model incorporates most of the same feature you'll find in some of the more expensive high-end seats. With a wireless remote control, you'll be able to choose between 3 heat settings. You'll also be able to turn on or off the skin sensor that activates the bidet only when you're sitting on the toilet. It's a small thing but what we like in particular is this nice little remote holder that you can mount to the wall in order to free your hands whenever you feel like it.

Long story short, SmartBidet SB-1000 incorporates pretty much everything people have come to expect out of premium heated toilet seats but without the price tag that usually comes with these products. It gives you a decent number of high-end features and plenty of customization options.

Make it Comfortable

Brondell L60-RW LumaWarm is, for the most part, a pretty basic toilet seat warmer. Compared to other options in this review, it doesn't give you the same number of controls and features. It also doesn't double as a bidet. Then again, it will cost you 2-5 times less than every other model here, too. Honestly, if you do not care for a bidet, we would definitely recommend going with this one.

There's hardly anything as jarring as sitting on a cold toilet seat. With Brondell L60-RW LumaWarm, you'll never have to experience that feeling ever again, not in the comforts of your own home. Equipped with 4 temperature settings (off, low, medium, high), the model will prove comfortable regardless of the time of the year and the temperature inside or outside your home.

Turning on the lights in the middle of the night is seldom a pleasant experience either. Fortunately, the model has you covered there as well. Equipped with blue LED nightlights, it gives you a nice soft illuminating glow that lets you see the controls and the surroundings without blinding you.

Another thing that makes the model a suitable option for most customers is that it is, in fact, suitable for most round toilets. Using just 2 screws, you'll be able to easily mount the seat without any extra help. Plus, the long power cable that the model comes equipped with will allow you to install it regardless of the socket position.

Again, Brondell L60-RW LumaWarm is a solid basic heated toilet seat. For its price, the model gives you a decent amount of control. It fits most toilets and the majority of people should find it more than comfortable enough.

The Ultimate Answer

BioBidet Ultimate BB-600 doesn't lie with that "ultimate" part. Despite the below average price, the model packs just about every feature and function out there.

Not dissimilar to those high-end seats that cost over 500 bucks, it incorporates all sorts of bidet features, including an oscillating function, wide cleaning, pulsating, and massage cleaning options. It will let you use a quiet motor driven wash. There's the satisfying posterior cleaning that so many people these days have grown accustomed to. And, of course, a high-end bidet wouldn't be complete without a soft feminine cleaning mode along with the bubble infusion mode, so you'll also have these ones at your disposal.

We aren't the biggest fans of remote controls when it comes to heated toilet seats. A side panel with LED indicators, on the other hand, is just what the doctor ordered. Sure, considering the huge number of the model's functions, you'd think that one would have a hard time getting used to all of the controls. But, with a convenient layout and strategically arranged buttons, the model is actually surprisingly easy to use.

The main Cleansing, Bidet, and Dry functions are obviously the most important ones, so they're accompanied by large buttons with clear icons. The preference buttons that give you access to the water temperature, water pressure, and nozzle positioning settings are smaller. But, thanks to the selection lights that display the selected level, these buttons are just as visually easy to keep track of.

You add to all of that a dual-nozzle system, a slow closing lid, an intelligent body sensor, and an Energy Save mode and you have yourself a model that does not lose one bit to its more expensive counterparts, especially as far as toilet seats with lights are concerned.

What customers say about this product

Key Specs(4.8)

There is a water filter that goes between the supply and the reservoir tank. I am not sure what the recommended interval of time is before this needs to be changed.

Features(4.5)

The lid and seat both have the slow-close function. Some seats only slow-close with the lid, and men run the risk of slamming the seat down loudly. This is different, as both the seat and lid have a controlled closing mechanism. Very nice.

Hygiene(4.6)

The kids love getting totally clean. We had to tell the kids to stop showing all their friends. It was quite the novelty.

Control(4.4)

The controls on the unit next to the toilet are really easy to understand and to operate with just a touch of the finger. I don't think any home should be without at least one of these units!

What Is a Heated Toilet Seat?

There are all kinds of horrors and atrocities in the world but few could compete with that awful feeling you experience when you sit down on a freezing cold toilet seat. The feeling is so unpleasant that there's no wonder we as a society have been able to come up with a solution. As you'd imagine, the solution to this issue is a heated toilet seat.

What may sound like a simple contraption is actually, more often than not, an intricate and sophisticated piece of consumer electronics, a device that incorporates a variety of different functions and features outside of the heating capabilities.

For one, a good chunk of these seats come with bidet features, which is always a plus. Some incorporate a bunch of functions that let you adjust the temperature of the seat, water, pressure, and other parts of this peculiar equation. Some of the best models even feature things like an automatic air deodorizer and some sort of an intelligent body sensor, so be on the lookout for those as well if you feel like splurging on a new toilet seat.

On our website, you'll also find a huge selection of different bathroom appliances and accessories. We would particularly recommend looking into bathtub pillows and bath caddies. With these little items, you'll be able to enjoy a bath like never before.
