Very Expensive Bidet, But Well Worth The Cost! Incredibly Helpful For Those With Back Pain!
Ok it isn’t cheap. It’s actually a bit absurdly expensive. The warranty process if one fails is almost terrible. However, these are highly rated for a reason. Even the New York Times loves the model. Anyway, that’s the bad. I wanted to get the ugly out of the way first 😁The good=Very well designed, the seat has a slight cant forward, which helps with sitting down and getting up. A big deal if you have serious back pain. The remote is designed well, and is super easy to figure out even without reading the manual (hey, I’m a stereotypical male🤪) The remote has a Great Wall mount bracket. Love it.Has a nice seat heating feature that really comes in practical and handy on those cold fall/winter mornings when you gotta go and didn’t have time to pre-warm the bathroom…Has a nice self-clean cycle. Say goodbye to stuck-on 💩 yuck!Now for the PSA portion of my review 😄I’m an American,and I have to say I think it’s just absolutely stupid that we have been so slow to mass-adopt these. They should be in every bathroom everywhere. They are that practical. It isn’t a “luxury” item like so many, including me, thought for so long. I’m not by any means saying you have to spend 400-500+ on a bidet. Very nice, functionally similar units can be had for under 100. You might not get a heated seat or warm water but believe me, even a non-electric bidet is vastly better than not having one at all. Trust me, you do not want to need one and not have it than the other way around. I just went through this nightmare myself recently.Please excuse the semi-graphic depiction here, but if I can save one person from experiencing the misery I went through then it’s worth it. Here goes. Say you live alone, or with a S/O, roommate etc who isn’t home consistently. Suddenly you injure yourself where mobility is an issue. Imagine you can’t stretch enough to wipe without creating more pain. Now what? You can’t just jump in the shower. Same problem, re-injuring yourself becomes highly likely. So now you can either live like a toddler with a soiled rear end and all the associated humiliation and depression that goes with that OR…You can own a bidet. Yep, it’s that simple pretty much. I went through the worst aspects of not having one. Once I did it completely restored normal bathroom function. Knowing you have a clean rear end really shouldn’t be a luxury right? Once you get the hang of it(doesnt take long) you can sit, do your “duty” use the spray for anywhere from 30 sec to 2 min and you will be cleaner than you ever were with TP, and without any bending, contortions, TP waste etc. not to mention not re-injuring yourself. I will never stop recommending bidets to anyone who will listen. It’s time to get over the silly societal hang ups, the silly western taboo. Europeans, Arab and Asian countries among others have been using them in one form or another for decades. Primitive ones since the dawn of plumbing. Using TP excessively should be the taboo, not a bidet. Believe me, once you use one you will become the next convert. They are finally beginning to catch on rapidly in the USA and I’m glad to see it. I wish I had discovered them many years ago.

Why Did I Wait So Long? This Bidet Seat is Amazing!
I’d be happy with the Washlet C5 seat if only for the heated seat feature. But, the water spray and drying air are game changers. Never tried a bidet seat before this purchase, but I’m wishing I had done this years ago. It’s fantastic!After we had an electrician add a grounded outlet in the water closet, installation was a breeze. It took me about 20 minutes to remove the old seat, install the Washlet C5, and mount the remote control on the wall. I’m glad this unit comes with the remote control, as I imagine that having the controls mounted on a panel that’s attached to the seat would be somewhat awkward to reach. The buttons on the remote are, for the most part, fairly intuitive and easy to use. The installation manual is clear enough, but I found it helpful to watch a short installation video on YouTube before I started.My only disappointment is that the “regular” toilet seats in the other bathrooms now barely seem adequate. Yep, this bidet seat will spoil you, for sure! Highly recommended.

Este producto está muy bien hecho. Se Ensambla y se instala fácilmente y trabaja perfectamente. Lo hecho en Japón es calidad absoluta!!

I’m dealing with an elderly dementia patient and this product make the process so much easier. It’s not perfect, but it eliminates a lot of the manual effort and mess.The installation was relatively painless and it all went well the first time, but the centering instructions could be better.The quality of the product is a little cheap for the price; I can see the cheap plastic breaking over time. The outer seat does not appear to open as wide as it should, I can see a heavy person leaning back against this and breaking it. The lid seems to line up with the hinge, so I assume it’s installed properly.The remote is well thought out and well made, although I’d like to see an auto routine that runs through a series of preprogrammed steps. Better still a phone app with a camera built into the washing tube, so you can see what you’re doing. Ideally, a phone app with AI built in, so Skynet can do a proper job of cleaning your business. I’m only partially kidding about this, just think of the money you could make off the Geeks.Overall I’m happy with the design and build quality of the unit, and remote, other than the chinsy outer cover. In my case, it also covers a real need, and I might enjoy a heat Tushy as well.
