TOTOSW583#12 S350E Electronic Bidet Toilet Seat with Cleansing Warm, Nightlight, Auto Open and Close Lid, Instantaneous Water Heating, and EWATER+, Round, Sedona Beige

If I could give 4.75 stars, I would, since there is room for minor improvement in the programmable functions provided - particularly considering this seat is twice the price of the S200.However, as it stands - or sits, I guess - this seat is fabulous, and everyone who uses it loves it.I also paid for the expert installation.Not because I was incapable of installing the seat - it is in fact very easy to install.I bought the installation to ensure the seat got installed the same week it was delivered - rather than sit around for some months until I got around to it.And of course, the installer took literally half the time I would have taken to complete the installation.So the seat was delivered on Wednesday, the installer came on Friday, and we spent the weekend luxuriating in our new-found comfort.So, about the seat itself:First of all: cleanliness!The main reason I bought this seat is to get a cleaner personal result - and this seat does the perfect job at that.We are also using significantly less toilet paper, as expected - but you will still want to use small amounts of paper to help the clean function and/or help the dry function.And you want that paper to be thick so it doesn't disintegrate when it gets wet.In addition to personal cleanliness, the toilet keeps itself cleaner too.My wife loves that the toilet now disinfects itself on a regular basis - and I love the look it has when it lights itself up with the LED.As other reviewers have pointed out, the odor remover works impressively well - a real bonus, particularly when guests visit and the toilet gets more use than usual.The comfort features are highly appreciated by everyone who uses the seat - the warmed seat (we have it turned down to warm rather than hot); the warmed water (ditto); the dry feature - and for the ladies, the "personal moment" settings...However, there are some minor issues where Toto could do better - particularly on a top-of-the-line model.* We have the automatic lid-open function disabled, because it alarmed my wife when she entered the bathroom at night.Sadly, if you disable the auto-open function, then the auto-close function is also disabled - which is disappointing.It would be so nice if the toilet just closed the lid automatically if ever someone forgets.And it would be trivial to provide independent controls for these functions.* Similarly, some reviewers have complained that the sound of the auto-clean at night disturbs them - and once again you cannot disable the auto-clean at night, without turning off the entire seat at night.The seat already has a programmable timer for eco-mode - so a separate timer for the auto-clean would again be trivial.A few reviewers also complained about the noise on older models, of the fan that runs for some 30 minutes after use.Happily, Toto has fixed this on the later models (I bought mine in early 2017).After the cleaning function - which is already whisper-quiet - the toilet is essentially silent.Out of curiosity, I did listen for the fan noise, and discovered that if I put my head right next to the seat, I could just hear the faintest of a fan hum.But since this is truly not a position one would put one's head immediately after using the toilet, I class the toilet as silent.The light and motorised lid functions are really nice to have - but truly, not essential.I was worried about the power consumption of this model. Because it heats the water on the spot, it draws ~850W which is roughly half of the total power of a regular outlet, and we have other - lower power - appliances plugged in to the outlet near the toilet.Happily, there is enough power for everything, so I've not had to route an extension cord in from somewhere, or have the bathroom rewired.So is the more expensive model worth almost double the price of the S200?In many ways probably not.The reason I bought the S350 is that it is much slimmer in design than the S200 - because the S200 has a fairly bulky holding tank, and the S350 does not - and therefore my wife would not be offended by new seat's looks.In fact, the exact opposite is true with the S350. Not only does my wife love the sleek look of our new seat, but she loves showing it off to visitors, and of course loves using it herself.In her words, when we visited friends a week after our wonder-seat had been installed "I miss our toilet seat..."

I bought the Tota SW583 mainly for the bidet feature, to eliminate use of paper on a rather delicate part of my anatomy. With water temperature, pressure, wand position, wand motion while cleaning, and dryer air temperature all controlled by a remove, it more than serves that purpose. Other features include a heated seat, an "eWater+" self-cleaning feature, a vacuum that filters the air in the bowl, and even an infrared sensor that detects your approach, so you never need to touch the seat with your hands. Installation is "almost" easy: my only caution is if - like me - your toilet has a polypropylene fill valve connector, I recommend replacing the steel nut on the tee connector furnished by Toto with a polypropylene nut (replacement requires an 8 mm hex key, and the knowledge that the internal fitting turns the "wrong" way) to avoid stripping the threads on your fill valve. Overall a full-featured and well-made product, and a valuable addition to a bathroom.

Well, what is there to say. You are either the kind of person to buy a $1000 bidet or you aren't. If you do, and manage to get the damn thing installed despite Todo's best efforts to thwart you, you will have a delightful bidet with seat warming, very comfortable adjustable spray, and a delightful way to frighten your dogs. This thing detects you approaching it and lifts its lid, sprays the toilet bowl as a pre-cleaner and makes a hissing sound. Even my a$-hole husky gets startled. If you slightly resent your dog, as most husky owners do, its great entertainment.In short, excellent bidet and we really enjoy it.However, the install instructions are freaking garbage. The online video from Todo doesn't help much but it IS hilarious. Do yourself a favor and hire a plumber or make a pact with whatever dark gods Toto are using to write their installation instructions.
