Toto Washlet/bidet defeats the toilet paper/paper towel hoarders of America

Please tell us that your wife took a pic or there's a video of it.

Some (many) years ago, we had some exchange students at the University (i wont say which nationality but somewhere from the middle east) and they were caught in the first day washing their behinds on the faucet, where people usually you know...wash their hands and some their faces. It was an awkward conversation afterwards.

 

I was only 13 then... and I'm still not married (hence no WAF to worry about).

 

Inb4 Amir does a review on the measurements of water pressure to the target area and saying that's all it should be to determine if it's good or not. Oh wait...

 

Wait wait wait... you're allowed to return a used toilet?!

I bought one of the ones you add to your existing toilet. No special features, just an ass spray and a crotch spray (for the ladies). My wife was quite skeptical when I pitched the idea but after using it just once, she said “Why did we wait so long to get one of these?”

It absolutely has cut down on the amount of toilet paper we use and honestly it feels nice. The water isn’t heated but despite that it only feels cold for a second or two when you first start it. Now when I use toilets without bidets I feel like I’m in the Stone Age.

 

UPDATE

I'm happy to report my $30 upgrade to the Toto C100 was a success. The air dryer function actually works when set to the hottest setting (no it wont dry you off in 15 seconds, more like a minute or two), and the pre-mist function helps prevents clingers on the sides of the bowl. Although the built in deodorizer is annoyingly loud, it can be turned off with a few key presses to access the hidden menu.

Updated control panel, notice the dryer button.


Bravo Toto, for bringing this value priced, piece of luxury to the masses!!!

EDIT: To answer the question below that was already answered in the first post, yes it was easy.

 

So how hard to install it?

Edit: Thanks for the video JK47. My toilet may not support it, mmmmm. I did install a shower hose in my bath tub, and I do use the "bidet" feature of it for years.

 

Guess what?

I've been so blown away by the Toto C100 washlet, I decided to dive in a get a Toto toilet. I decided on the lower end Drake model with dual flush in the 1.28/0.8 gallons per flush. It also comes in the non California compliant 1.60/0.8 gpf and the frugal 1.0/0.8 gpf models.


After watching a few youtube install vids, I knew this was going to be a gross job, especially the "wax ring". I got pumped this morning after working night shift by downing a few Everclear shots, and playing the theme song to everyone's favorite plumber's magnum opus... Super Mario Bros

The install went smoothly as one could expect, and the unit is awesome. It has a crazy DYNAMAX TORNADO FLUSH® that blasts unfriendly logs down the river of sanitation, and easily best my old illegal American Standard 1.6gpf john.


Pretty sexy looking for a toilet I must say.

Totally worth the investment.

 

Wow, you plumbed in the toilet? Impressive! That's not a job I'd care to try, and I have done a little simple pipe work, even including soldered copper pipe.

Even fiddled with gas piping, back in the day when the British law didn't prescribe being hanged from a gibet in the street for unqualified gas plumbing. The old rules used to specify "competent." So I asked myself if I was, replied yes, and got on with it.

 

Its not as hard as it sounds to replace an existing one, as long as it fits.
Removing the old one could be kind of gross, but not really hard to do.
Looking seriously at another washlet now, leaning towards another brand.

 

Agree, it's not as gross and/or difficult as it could be. The wax ring is really sticky and messy to remove and clean up, but it's not like the pipes (if they're working correctly) fill up with sewage - it should be straight down with gravity if all is flowing correctly. If you ever do try it, be sure to buy an extra wax ring or two to have on hand as sometimes you don't line things up properly on your first try of seating the toilet on the outlet pipe, especially if you're a novice plumber.

 

I serenade both these items of exception value, excellence, and true hygiene with the coveted @JK47 "Golden Corn Hole" award for the year 2020, from here on out also known as "The Great Toilet Paper Wars"...

 

Everybody getting a bidet and therefore not relying on trees/toilet paper anymore would probably help in our struggle with climate change.

Shitting for the planet...

 

A fast upgrade to better pooping is to swap the hoses from the wall to the toilet tank for unidirectional, single-grain copper lines with carbon fibre sheathing. You get much better separation. Don't worry about the miles of plumbing before your toilet, they don't matter. Also the toilet anchor bolts should be gold plated and galvanically isolated from the rest of the toilet, otherwise what's the point?

Also I think bidets are an obvious new product line for Schiit.

 

Well, now you come to mention points, why not just put the thing on those silly pointy things that people love to attach to anything "hifi." Oh hey, better support backside with spikes too!

(NB: for speakers there might be a point)

 

Heading over for the latest Schiit Happened and I see my browsing habits here have caught up with me:

 

Not to mention they are now almost completely sold out of the lower end models across America, or the price has doubled. A few good deals left if you look...
