The Basics|The Features|The Pros|The Cons|Final Thoughts

SmartBidet has streamlined their look without compromising features in this exceptional addition to their ranks.

The SB-110’s current price and more photos here.

Pros	Cons
Learns when to save power	Can't turn off heated seat/water
Unique bowl premisting function	Large tank reservoir
Price is right	Lid is too weak to sit on

First, the basics:

This is a bidet seat, so it will be replacing your old toilet seat. Find a place to toss that thing because you’re never going back to it.
It is electric, so you will need access to a power outlet (three pronged).
It comes in only the elongated size, so be sure that your toilet bowl depth is at least 20 inches.
Comes in white.
You will need a Phillips-head screwdriver (and possibly a flat-head screwdriver, depending on how your old toilet seat is mounted) for installation.
All other installation components are included.
The control panel on the side of the unit controls all functions.
The nozzle self-cleans and retracts after each use.
Nozzle cap can be removed for easier, more thorough cleaning.
The water is heated instantly, as there is no reservoir.
One-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The features:

Expand

Rear cleanse
- Your typical bidet function.
Front cleanse
- For feminine cleaning.
Turbo cleanse
- Nearly enema-level pressure. This is for when you need to really blast the undercarriage.
Oscillating cleanse
- Available for rear, front and turbo cleansing functions.
- The wand will move back and forth while spraying, so you don’t miss anything.
Kids’ mode
- Automatically runs the rear wash for 30 seconds followed by a minute of the dryer.
- Nozzle position, water pressure and dryer temp are all toned down a bit to suit a child.
Warm-air dryer
Five settings for water pressure
Wand position adjustment
- So you don’t have to move on the seat as much to get a thorough cleanse.
Slowly closing seat and lid
- The lid won’t slam shut, but rather slowly close.
Heated seat and water with three temperature options for each
Quick release seat for easy cleaning
- Flip a switch on the rear and pull the unit off to clean it/underneath it.
Self-cleaning wand
- Cleaned before and after each use.
Eco mode
- Will lower the temperature of the reservoir tank and the seat while not in use.
Seat sensor
- Won’t activate any of the features unless there is a booty on the bidet.
- Useful for curious kids and house guests.
Wand cleaning mode

The control paneel of the SmartBidet SB-110

The SB-110’s panel and its beautiful bounty of features.

The Pros:

Full suite of features.
- SmartBidet have crammed features up the wazoo of the SB-110. All of them are useful and everything works as you’d hope.
- The oscillate feature is especially nice. Being able to combo it with any other wash function is a major win.
- The turbo function is actually quite powerful and is just a few PSI away from an enema. Recommend for those with especially messy bathroom sessions.
Instant water heating system.
- A fantastic feature that provides instant, unlimited warm water directly to ya bum. Usually found in higher priced units, seeing this in an entry-level bidet seat is wonderfully surprising.
  With a replaceable cap, the SB-110 is easier to clean and maintain.
Replaceable nozzle cap.
- Just twist the cap and pop it off.
- This makes cleaning and maintenance a lot easier.
Durable construction.
- SmartBidet have forged a herculean bidet seat, one that can accommodate up to 440 pounds.
- Everything else feels very sturdy and built to last as well.
Clean look.
- The SB-110 was the first of SmartBidet’s attempts to redesign their bidet seats. Previously, their models looked quite utilitarian. Thankfully, the new design looks sleeker and more modern.
Great customer service.
- With any product, there will be reports of users experiencing some defective units. While this isn’t good (obviously), the SmartBidet team has been quick to respond with replacements at no cost.

The Cons:

Smaller seat opening.
- The bidet seat will be a bit smaller than your old seat in regards to the opening. This might be problematic for larger users.
Water heater can be a little erratic.
- While it functions well 90% of the time, the water heater can sometimes provide dips in temperature. While not a huge problem, it can be slightly annoying.
No pulsating/massage cleanse.
- I’ve grown to really like this feature, as have many others who suffer from hemorrhoids and/or constipation.

Final Thoughts:

Another fine Korean bidet seat. Coming from a country where bidets are the norm, the SmartBidet SB-110 provides nearly everything you could want from a bidet. For the price, SmartBidet have created a super product that should please nearly anyone.

Unless you are unwilling to go without a deodorizer and pulsating function, consider the SmartBidet SB-110 as one of the front-runners in the budget bidet realm.

A look at the 9500’s remote. Solid and smartly designed.

The Pros:

- More features than you’d expect for the price.
Aluminum-coated nozzle

Cleaning is effective
- The spray pattern and pressures combine for a satisfying clean and fresh feeling.

The Cons:

Customer service is lacking
- Many customers report having to pay shipping to and from the Oklahoma service center (amounts to over $50) even though their unit was still under the full one year warranty.
Tankless heating isn’t immediate or unlimited
- The heating unit takes anywhere from 3-10 seconds to adjust the water to your desired temperature.
- The desired heat can be maintained for 1.5-2 minutes until cooling off a bit (still comfortable, but noticeably cooler.
Flimsy lid
- The lid is a cheap plastic shell that cannot be sat on.
Weak dryer
- Despite the incorporation of far infrared technology, the dryer still takes just as long as most other bidet seats.

Final Thoughts:

The COCO 9500R/RS is a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none device. For the price, its a good buy as it packs in every feature you can think of. Everything fulfills its purpose, but not exceptionally.

Slim profile	Weak dryer
Strong, sittable lid	Only supports up to 280 pounds

This is a bidet seat, so it will be replacing your old toilet seat.

- Super will cut the voltage completely to the seat and water heater until you sit down.
Slow closing lid

The Pros:

Tankless water heating (this deserves its own bullet point, in my opinion)
- The water is heated instantly, not in a tank.
- This provides the user with instant, endless warm water and is a major value to households with multiple people lining up to use the bathroom in the mornings.
Other premium features
- The stainless steel wand with two nozzles is a wonderful addition.
- Novita has made the lid incredibly strong, so no worries about sitting on it.
- A very slim (five inches tall (12.7 cm)) profile does wonders for streamlining the Novita’s look.
Easy to install
- Not unique to the Slimline, but still worth noting.
Fits both one- and two-piece toilets (!)
- Not many other inexpensive bidets can boast this feature.
- Quite exciting for those with attractive one-piece toilets who have been looking for a bidet seat to no avail.
A three-year-long manufacturers warranty
- A very generous warranty compared to most other bidets in this price range.

The Cons:

No pulsating water option
- This is a feature I really love that helps with constipation, hemorrhoids and simply feels great. Sad to see it’s lacking here.
Only supports 280 pounds
- Many people with a heavier frame choose bidets for their ease of use compared to using toilet paper. It’s unfortunate that many who need a bidet won’t be able to choose this model.
The dryer
- As with many bidet dryers, it isn’t quite powerful enough to dry you if you’re in a hurry, usually taking up to five minutes.

Final Thoughts:

This bidet-seat packs a surprising amount of premium features into its slim body. The tankless water heating is an absolute wonder at this price, and the durable lid and wand are both indicators of a durable, long-lasting unit. If you aren’t heavier than the 280 pound weight limit, don’t require a pulsating spray for various reasons, and know what to expect with a typical bidet dryer, this is one of the best sub $300 bidets on the market.

Best Bidet-Seats Under $300

April 17, 2017 by @elioverbey

It’s surprisingly easy to find feature-packed, high-quality bidets for under $300. Picking which of those are the best though, isn’t so straightforward.

Here are the three best bidets for less than $300

These are the best and the brightest, the star pupils of the affordable luxury world! So, without further adieu….

Novita Slimline BN-330

The Novita Slimline is a cute little number that punches well above its weight.

Why is it special?

This bidet-seat completely blows many other, more expensive bidet-seats out of the water.

Made for Kohler by Novita in Korea, they’ve somehow managed to provide a tankless water heating system that provides unlimited, instantaneous warm water, a dryer, and a premium, stainless steel nozzle (great for keeping bacteria and viruses at bay, as they have trouble infiltrating the material as it is less porous than plastic) in a compact size and a budget-bidet price.

What about other features?

Feast your eyes on those smooth lines.

The Novita BN-330 also has all of the features you’d expect any quality bidet-seat to have (and a surprise or two for a sub $300 product). There are two nozzles on the stainless steel wand, one for posterior and one for feminine washing.

These are capable of changing positions as well as oscillating and also have adjustable pressure and water temperature settings. The last nozzle-related characteristic is a turbo function that can really blast you, should the Enterprise encounter some resilient Klingons.

The lid is slow-closing and designed to be strong enough to be sat on (bathroom make-up artists rejoice!). Not only is the lid strong, but its rear (which houses its electronic components) only rises five inches above the toilet rim – this is truly slim compared to units that heat water in a tank/reservoir system, many coming in at 7 or more inches tall.

Lastly, there is an eco-mode which will save you power/money by lowering the seat and water temps.

Anything lacking?

The Novita is missing a couple features I’d like to see in an updated model somewhere down the line. A massage/pulsating feature and an auto-wash option (read more about these below in the Aura A7 overview) would fill out the otherwise impressive suite of attributes.

Bottom line.

Go with the Novita if your primary concerns are a slim profile with a strong lid and having enough warm water, as the tankless system is incredible and tough to find for less than $400.

Also, have a gander at our review of the Novita here.

BioBidet Aura A7

BioBidet offers the Aura A7 as its flagship budget-bidet. This bidet is not only comparatively cheap, but also well thought-out and smartly engineered.

Why is it special?

The stainless steel wand. What a beaut’!

With the Aura A7, BioBidet has tried to differentiate itself from the competition by giving this bidet-seat some seriously smooth lines.

The lid is one single surface instead of being broken up by the electronics/reservoir housing like many other bidet-seats (see how the Novita Slimline’s seat differs above). It also sports a cool, blue LED side panel that pulses with the water for what is probably the coolest butt cleaning experience in the universe.

The side panel isn’t the only thing that lights up, either.

There is a night light feature that illuminates the bowl with a soothing blue light that acts like a lighthouse in the dark, guiding you towards its heated seat’s warm embrace.

The Aura A7 also boasts two user profile settings. These save the nozzle position and water pressure for a more streamlined experience.

What about other features?

While it lacks a dryer, it does have a stainless steel wand with two nozzles much like the Novita.

There is also a pulsating massage option that the Novita and SB-110 (below) lack. This pulsating is quite nice for those who suffer from constipation or hemorrhoids and feels pretty darn therapeutic even for those without any booty problems.

The option to use any wash feature while the nozzle is oscillating is also present in the Aura.

One last wash function that is sadly missing in the Novita is the auto-wash function. This gives you a grand tour of the bidet’s washing capabilities (and gives an incredibly thorough clean) by giving your first 20 seconds of regular washing, then 20 seconds of oscillating washing and finishes with 20 seconds of pulsating washing.

Eco-mode is also available and works just like that in the Novita.

Anything lacking?

Contoured lines make the A7 a sleek addition to your bathroom.

The Aura gets edged out in the heating category (compared to the Novita) and in durability.

The Aura A7 uses a tank-heating system, so it has a limited (although almost always sufficient!) amount of warm water for cleaning. This could potentially be a problem if someone uses the bidet directly after someone else.

The durability issue stems from the lid being quite flimsy – BioBidet provides warnings not to sit on it. While not a deal-breaker, this could affect some more than others.

Bottom line.

If you want a futuristic-looking toilet that lights up the night and impresses guests, the Aura A7 is your best bet.

The pulsating stream and user profiles are also worthwhile (especially if you have issues with constipation or hemorrhoids. Seriously, it is wonderful for both).

And finally, head over to our review of the Aura A7 for an even more in-depth look.

SmartBidet SB-110

SmartBidet has entered a new contender into the Battle of the Bidets.

An updated look and some new features make this a worthy heiny hose down device.

Why is it special?

The qualities that most sets the SB-110 apart is its removable/replaceable nozzle cap and its small profile.

The nozzle cap snaps on/off the stainless steel wand which makes for easier and more comprehensive cleaning as well as letting you replace it should you so desire.

A drain feature allows the user to release all the water in the bidet’s tank, which can be useful if you find yourself on an extended leave from home.

Additionally, this is one of the more stalwart posterior polishers – it can support up to 440 pounds!

There’s also a kids’ mode and a very nice air dryer all packed into a seat that’s only an inch taller than the impossibly slim Novita.

An updated and very attractive side-panel control (nice job, SmartBidet!) adorns this wonderful washlet.

What about other features?

A picture of the SB-110's replaceable nozzle cap.

With a replaceable cap, the SB-110 is easier to clean and maintain.

The SB-110 has all the standard features you’d expect on a fully-capable wazoo washer.

There’s a feminine and posterior clean, and a turbo mode (not quite an enema, but useful for those of us with some shag carpet decorating the basement) with an oscillate option for each.

The air dryer has five levels of intensity and the water pressure has five levels, too.

An eco-mode similar to that in the above models rounds off the list of features.

Anything lacking?

The tankless heating of the Novita is missing, as is the pulsating wash of the Aura. This shouldn’t shatter the relationship you made with the SB-110 in the previous sections, as every other capability of this washlet is stellar. Perhaps SmartBidet will add these somewhere down the line, as it seems they take customer feedback seriously.

Bottom line.

The SB-110 will appeal to those who want a slim, jack-of-all-trades bidet.

The new look SmartBidet is going for is great, and the drain feature is incredibly useful as well. Also, if you are a bit larger, the 440 pound limit is wonderful for the added peace of mind.

Finally, get your booty on over to our full review of the SmartBidet SB-110.

I hope you found this guide helpful! As always, questions and comments are more than welcome. Happy spraying!

BioBidet Aura A7 Review

March 28, 2017 by @elioverbey

The BioBidet Aura A7

The least expensive electric bidet seat offering from BioBidet. How does it stack up?

Check out the Aura A7’s price and more photos.

Pros	Cons
Price to feature ratio is extremely high	Lid is flimsy and can't be sat on
Lots of attention to appearance	Might encounter rare issue with lid not fully opening on some toilets
Seat can support up to 400 pounds
Two savable user profiles

The Basics|The Features|The Pros|The Cons|Final Thoughts

First, the basics:

This is a bidet seat, so it will be replacing your old toilet seat.
It is electric, so you will need access to a power outlet (three pronged).
Only available in elongated size, with no round size available.
It comes in white only.
You will need a phillips-head screwdriver (and possibly a flat-head screwdriver, depending on how your old toilet seat is mounted) for installation.
All other installation components are included.
The Animated Response LED Side Panel (the attached remote) controls all functions.
The stainless steel nozzle self-cleans and retracts after each use.
One-year manufacturer’s warranty with the option for a six-year extended warranty.

The features:

Expand

Stainless steel nozzle (looks nice and gives the impression of something that will last)
Oscillating (the nozzle moves back and forth for a more thorough cleansing without having to shimmy your bum around. Available for both rear and front cleaning by pressing the respective button twice)
Wide cleaning (this is just referring to the oscillating feature. Not sure why BioBidet has listed these as separate…)
Pulsating (same as the massage cleaning. I’m not sure why BioBidet listed these as two separate features. There is only a ‘massage’ button, nothing on the control panel suggests a hidden pulsate feature. Maybe just trying to pad their list of features?)
Massage cleaning (a rhythmic pulsating stream of water which is actually quite nice. As mentioned above, this IS the pulsating feature that is listed)
Satisfying posterior cleaning (yes, it is indeed satisfying)
Soft feminine cleaning (a more gentle cleansing from the front-most nozzle on the cleansing wand)
Adjustable nozzle (five different positions)
Nozzle self-clean (before and after cleansing)
Auto wash (20 seconds each of standard, oscillating and finally massaging sprays)
User controlled warm water (three levels of heat as well as the ability to turn it completely off(!))
Animated Response LED Side Panel (admittedly cool. Pulsates as cleansing is engaged and gives the toilet a futuristic quality)
User presets (two seperate profiles that save the wand position and pressure, although not the seat or water temperature)
Adjustable heated seat (three levels of heat as well as the ability to turn it completely off(!))
Night Light (a very nice, blue light that illuminates the bowl so you can easily find your way to the toilet at night)
Intelligent body sensor (a sensor on the seat that recognizes if someone is on the toilet or not. The toilet won’t function if nobody is sitting on it. Great for deterring kids from playing with the sprays)
Splash guard (this is simply the retractable nozzle which keeps soiled water from coming into contact with it)
Slow closing seat/lid
Quick release for easy cleaning (small switch on the side off the bidet enables it to be painlessly removed and then reattached)
Eco mode (sets the water and seat temps to low)
Silent mode (this refers to the beeps that are made when using the control panel. You have the option to turn these off)
Hide away hose clips (clips the water and power cables together and close to the unit to give it a cleaner profile)

The Pros:

High price-performance ratio.
- The number of features for its price is impressive.
- Some features (like user profiles and the ability to turn the heating elements off) actually aren’t found in many higher-priced bidet seats.
Sleek look.
- What sets BioBidet products apart from many other brands is the attention spent on design.
  - The lid covers the whole unit and gives the appearance of one piece, instead of being broken up into the reservoir and the rest of the unit.
- The side control panel also has some curves to it, so it more seamlessly blends with the rest of the unit.
- The blue night light and lighted side control panel are nice touches and really modernize your toilet.
Very easy to install.
- As with most bidet seats, it isn’t hard to install this, but it is still worth mentioning.
The unit is very durable.
- BioBidet rates their seats as being able to accommodate up to 400 pounds for 20,000 uses.
- All the connections and components are made to last (that stainless steel wand really makes this unit seem tough)
A year-long manufacturers warranty.
- Again, most bidet seats have this but it is nice to know you’re protected for a year if something goes awry.

The Cons:

Depending on your toilet shape, the lid may not be able to open fully.
- The slick, one-piece look of the unit may have issues with some toilets. If your toilet tank curves outwards at all, or if you position the unit too far back, the seat might be blocked from fully opening.
- BioBidet have a good guide on their website as to which kinds of toilets are compatible. A and B are ok, but not C.
Somewhat weird Amazon presence. I found their list of features misleading as some singular features were mentioned twice by two different names. This may or may not be intentional (I’d wager it was just along the lines of a typo), just a small gripe which might confuse your average consumer (it certainly confused me!).

Final Thoughts:

If you aren’t concerned with a dryer or deodorizer, by all means, grab this bidet seat. It has all the essential functions such as hot water, an adjustable, self-cleaning nozzle and exceptional durability that you should look for. The bidet function itself works perfectly, the LED lighting on the control panel and the blue night light are nice touches, and it is one of the more stylish looking bidets (even outside this price range).

Take a peek at some nice, high res photos of the beautiful Aura A7 here.

TOTO C100 Washlet Review

March 26, 2017 by @elioverbey

The Toto C100 Washlet Review

The Basics|The Features|The Pros|The Cons|Final Thoughts

A mid-range bidet seat with high-end features.

The TOTO C100’s current price and more photos here.

Pros	Cons
Learns when to save power	Can't turn off heated seat/water
Unique bowl premisting function	Large tank reservoir
Price is right	Lid is too weak to sit on

First, the basics:

This is a bidet seat, so it will be replacing your old toilet seat.
It is electric, so you will need access to a power outlet (three pronged).
It comes in round and elongated fashions and should fit most toilets. See how these compare here.
Comes in white or beige.
You will need a phillips-head screwdriver (and possibly a flat-head screwdriver, depending on how your old toilet seat is mounted) for installation.
All other installation components are included.
The remote control on the side of the unit controls all functions.
The nozzle self-cleans and retracts after each use.
The water is heated in the seat’s back reservoir (the reason the back of the unit is so big), so doesn’t need to be connected to a hot water line.
One-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The features:

The TOTO C100 comes packing these features

Rear Cleanse
- Your typical bidet function.
Soft Rear Cleanse
- Lower pressure version of rear cleanse.
Front Cleanse
- For females.
Oscillating Cleanse
- The wand will move back and forth while spraying, so you don’t miss anything.
Five Settings for Water Pressure
Wand Position Adjustment
- So you don’t have to move on the seat as much to get a thorough cleanse.
SoftClose Seat and Lid
- The lid won’t slam shut, but rather slowly close.
Heated Seat with three temperature options (82°F to 97°F or about 28°C to 36°C (79°F or about 26°C when power saver is on))
Warm Air Dryer with five temperature options
- Works much like the hand driers in public restrooms, so you can expect to be posted on the toilet for a while if you plan on your rear being bone-dry.
Quick Release Seat for Ease of Cleaning
- Flip a switch on the rear and pull the unit off to clean it/underneath it.
Self-Cleaning Wand
- Cleaned before and after each use.
Auto Energy Saver
- Controls when the heated seat and water functions are turned on/off.
  - Note that you can’t manually turn these functions OFF, only the energy saving mode can do that.
Seat Sensor
- When you sit down, the toilet simultaneously mists the bowl with water to prevent unsightly cling-ons as well as activates the deodorizer.
  - The deodorizer is a charcoal based catalytic converter, according to Toto. In short, the charcoal (carbon) will absorb most nasty odors. It might need to be replaced in four or five years if you notice a dip in effectiveness.
Water Temperature Control with three options (86°F to 104°F or about 30°C to 40°C)
Wand Cleaning Mode

The Pros:

Packed with features.
- The heated seats and water work very well, as these features are always-on (but are sometimes adjusted by the power saver – look below for additional info on this), so you won’t need to wait or either to warm-up before use.
- You’re getting many of the same features found in much more expensive bidets.
  - If you don’t need a remote, remote controlled lid/flush or a couple more temperature options for the water and seat, this unit should have you covered.
“Learns” when to save power.
- The power saver will adjust/turn off the heated seat and water functions.
- Thanks to the brains in the C100, this bidet seat can gauge when the toilet is frequently, seldom, or never used.
  - During periods of infrequent use, (nighttime, early mornings, etc.), the C100 will lower the temperature of the seat and water in its reservoir.
  - During periods where the toilet is never used (think of the times you are typically at work), the C100 will turn off these features completely.
Easy installation.
- If you have a standard toilet, the installation is very simple and can be completed in about 20 minutes.

The Cons:

Some have had issues with there not being enough room to connect the t-fitting to their toilet tank.
- While only a small number of people experience this, it is worth noting that one of the products most frequently purchased with this bidet seat is an adapter that eliminates this
  problem.
- Check out the dimensions on your toilet tank and make sure it can accommodate the t-fitting.
Large reservoir tank.
- Some might not mind, but the reservoir tank is by far, the largest component of this model.
- It measures about 7.3 in. or 18.8 cm. high.
No pulsating/massage cleanse.
Can’t turn it off.
- While the power saver does a great job of reducing power, it is a little frustrating that there isn’t a way to totally turn off the water and seat heaters without unplugging the unit.

Final Thoughts:

This is a good bidet seat from the company that invented them. The fact that you can’t turn off the heating elements can be irksome in the summer months and the lack of a pulsating wash is disappointing. However, the C100 has a very nice bowl pre-mist function not found in many other bidets, as well as a robust list of other features including an effective deodorizer.

This is a solid bidet and I would recommend it for those who like the look, have a low-flow toilet and aren’t specifically looking for a massage function.

Poke around here for more photos of the TOTO C100 and its current price.
