TOTO SW3036R#01 WASHLET K300 Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat, Cotton White

Product arrived on time in excellent condition. Excellent product. Absolutely love it. Does everything it says in the description. Water is always warm - no initial cold spray as pointed out by some. Warm dryer air will take a long time to do the job and you will use some toilet paper to finish drying. True of all bidets. Note - If you have a skirted toilet, you will need a 7/8” to 7/8” TOTO extension (available on Amazon) for connecting the tee to the water supply. Easy install.

Looks great and high in quality / value. After 5yrs using our first washer seat, a Brondell Swash 1000, and being very pleased with it, the seat cracked exactly in the back middle with a growing, pinching (ouch) gap. We're both well less than 200 pounders, LOL, and it was installed in our personal, main suite bathroom, our kids are grown and so just us 2 adults that used it. We even kept the seat settings always at lowest heat setting and in Eco Save mode, so it cannot be from degradation from long term high heat exposure, either. After 5 years, we almost rebought the 1000 and even looked at the 1400 Brondell model, but the pics and reviews online showed these models have this seat crack as a known latent defect and reportedly Brondell acting difficult about handling it as such (an epidemic defect that's out of warranty). Also, water leaks reportedly, commonly emerging as units age (although fixable with the YouTube videos out there) was concerning. I'd like to point out the basic functionality here was a "seat" first and foremost, and frankly the expensive Brondell built basic seat functionality failed miserably! Disappointed, we started shopping around ... We previously bought a Toto Neorest washer as a part of a full replacement potty unit ($$$) when doing our second bath's remodel last year because it looked so cool (looks like a big egg). It was expensive, but we were determined to have style and a washer type unit after being sold on the concept by our first Brondell Swash 1000 add-on seat experience. We love the Toto Neorest. So now that we were forced to re-shop for our main bathroom this time, Brondell was a natural, cost effect and darn good add-on solution again to just fix it or possibly replace the seat. BUT, after 5 yrs it was aging and looked it. When replacing and with a few more dollars, the competitive Toto K300, along with our added prior Toto experience, and the online reports of Brondell quality and service issues, we decided to make the leap to go Toto washers for both bathrooms. After the easy replacement install (wall electrical outlet already existing from the Brondell unit) and seeing the difference in quality (design and materials) side by side (Brondell Swash1000 and Toto K300), we also experienced what we first thought would be a less effective, more soft-cleaning (comfort) performance than what the Swash 1000 produced (or even the Toto Neorest). After using several times, we wrongly doubted its performance and now very glad we made the Toto choice again with the K300. Somehow, the Toto K300 manages to clean better and seemingly more easily (less harsh spray) than the Brondell Swash 1000 (would typically use full force to get spotlessly clean) or even its Toto big brother, big buck, Neorest (it is less harsh in capability than the Brondell, and more like the K300 in experience, but Neorest also is somehow not as a complete in clean experience - and we always paper check!). Surprisingly, this K300 best overall performance comes along and beats a similar, cost competitive, easy install, add-on unit like the Brondell Swash as well as the fully optioned Toto Neorest total potty unit we first bought ($$$)! Note Brondell's Swash 1000 and Swash 1400 models are built on the same design platform and use the same parts, including the latent defect seat, which is why I threw the 1400 into this review. Bottom line, spend the few dollars more and buy the Toto K300 for its looks, quality and performance. Toto K300 looks sleeker, lower, leaner and more modern than the Brondell Swash 1000 and 1400 and goes about performing "the job" better. Although not U.S.A. built, the Toto is marked as made in Malysia, and not China. As initially expected with the Brondell, subsequently sent to the trash bin, we certainly do not expect our Toto seat(s) to crack no matter how old they get and will update if that ever happened.

One month in an I have found this product to be extremely effective. I am not sure exactly how it works (does not seem intuitive) and do not care. I am very happy to be toilet paper free, except for drying. It is great to go through the day with the corn hole feeling ‘fresh from the shower’. In hindsight one of the cheaper models might have sufficed, I probably don’t need unlimited water and the slimmer profile. I will probably put cheaper models in all the other toilets in our home. I am somewhat concerned about whether I can take one on vacation. Not sure if it will fit in my suitcase..

Bidet seats in general are fantastic. Once you try it, it's hard to contemplate going back. I purchased this one after a bunch of research. Many online sources (e.g., Wirecutter) recommend the Toto C5 as a great bidet seat that has all the features you need at a ...sort of reasonable price. This unit has all the same features plus tankless hot water instead of a warm water reservoir. There are several advantages to this: 1) you never run out of warm water, 2) the profile of the seat gets streamlined, and 3) the K300 is more power efficient for water than the C5. The rear of this unit is about half an inch lower than the C5, but the whole seat is more sveldt. Right now the K300 is $150 or so more than the C5 and I find the price increase to be worth it for these advantages. The rest of this review would likely apply to the C5 as well, as their features sets are the same other than tankless hot water. Heated Seat: Not the foremost thing people think about with bidet seats, but it's very comforting! Two thumbs up! Ewater+ and Premist: These are great features that help make the unit less likely to need cleaning. Ewater+ is electrolyzed water that washes the wand before and after each use. Anything that minimizes your need to clean the wand is going to be a good thing, so I appreciate this one. Premist means the seat spritzes down the bowl as soon as you sit on it. This really does prevent the bowl from getting messy. Since I've had the unit, I haven't had to work on...uh...removing evidence of use, let's say. That's something I often reluctantly had to engage in prior to installing the seat. Wand Features: This unit comes with the usual suspects of oscillation and pulsation, both of which I've found to be helpful. Volume, temp, and placement are easily adjustable from the remote. Deodorization: A fan sucks fumes from the bowl through a filter. This starts as soon as you sit down, and is more aggressive for 1 minute right after you get off the seat. Shockingly, this actually works pretty well except maybe against the toughest of stinkers. I don't find the fan noise to be offensive at night, but you can deselect this function if the noise bothers you. Remote: Simple and effective. All features are available on the remote and it took one or two uses to become completely familiar with it. It's intuitive. The remote has two memories, so you and your partner can easily select your preferences in a snap. Install: Really not too difficult. Maybe 30 minutes of work. I got no leaks on the first try. You must have a GFCI outlet within 3 feet of the toilet for the cord to reach. All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.

This is a high end bidet. It truly has continuous warm water. We have two other Toto bidets but they only have warm water for about 20 seconds. Fits our elongated toilet well too. Wish we had bought this model for all of our bidets. Has many other features like other bidets too.
