KC2 - New

I never would’ve thought that I would be writing a review for a toilet seat, but here we are. This thing is awesome and I had to share! I didn’t know what I had been missing all these years. Only issue is since we’ve installed it I have noticed my family spends more time in the bathroom… A friend of ours has a bidet / washlet and is always talking about it, even at dinner (awkward I know right?). So I decided to do some research even if it was just so I could have a knowledgeable conversation with him about it (LOL). Turns out after doing some research, seems people other than my friend really love these things so I decided I would give it a shot. Now I didn't want to spend too much on this but I also didn't want to get a cheap unit from a company I'd never heard of before. That's what lead my to this unit from Toto. Also the other challenge I ran into is we have a Kohler Santa Fe toilet and the bowl on it is curved so there was some concern that these units may not even fit on my toilet. But this KC2 unit looked like it would fit and had some nice features so I went ahead and pulled the trigger. The install was really easy. The seat has a nice adjustable plate that makes it simple to fit on different sized toilets. With a little adjustment, the seat fits great on my Santa Fe as you can see in the pictures. The only issue I had was my bathtub is real close to our toilet so hooking up the water line was a tight fit. After one trial and error (with a leak), I decided to connect the water line and the washlet line to the adapter first, the screw the adapter to the bowl. That solved the problem and to me was an easier way to do it. It took me just about 35 minutes from the time I started the install to the time I was able to wet and warm my backside. The heated seat is an awesome feature especially in the winter. The water spraying on my under carriage, well that takes some getting used to. It still surprises me every time even though I know it's coming. But it works great once you get comfortable with it. The washlet has some nice features to that you can change the pressure and temperature of the water to your liking. There is also a drying feature that helps dry you off a little. There is even a special cleaning feature for the ladies! The only other thing is the seat is a little smaller than I'm used to but it's not bad and is real comfortable to sit on. So in the end, I'm surprised how much I like this washlet. But I really do. We stayed in a hotel over the weekend, and I'm embarrassed to say I missed my toilet seat (LOL). Just feel fresher and cleaner during the day and have not had any chaffing now that I'm using a lot less toilet paper during the week. I'm looking forward to talking toilet seats with my friends at dinner now!

Install was very easy, although the instructions were a bit hard to follow. No leaking or issues with the water hook up. I had bought an extra adapter just in case, but didn't need it, everything fit together great. Total install time (including a deep clean of the toilet and clean up after install) was about an hour. This was my first bidet seat (or bidet of any kind), but my research showed this was a good brand and a good model. I have not been disappointed even a little bit. Very easy to use, about a minute of futzing around with it was all it took to understand the controls. All the features are great; heated seat, temp controlled air, position and pressure adjustments, and a non slamming lid (I wasn't expecting this feature but really like it.) I can confidently recommend this model, everything about it has been great.

I purchased this bidet after experiencing one by the same company while on vacation. This model has all of the features of the resort model, except it’s much quieter. Mine is nearly a year old and still functions well. The seat is always warm. It is easy to set up and change. It’s worth the price.

Bought this after our trip to Japan where many of the toilets we used has this water cleaning feature to reduce the use of toilet paper and provide a better cleaning of your bum. My wife likes it. So when we are back home after the trip, we bought this bidet after looking thru different reviews. Also Toto is a Japanese brand that we saw in many of the toilets we used in Japan, common sense say that if the brand is that popular in Japan, they must did something right. The bidet provides a good heating temperature for the seat (3 settings) and keeps our bums warm during the cold morning usage. The water stream and strength is also at a good point where it wasn't too harsh but strong enough to wash the bums clean. Although if you want to have your bum dry right away, you still need some toilet paper to dry. You can use the blower that comes with it to blow dry your bum but you will have to sit there for a few additional minutes. This bidet has other settings that provide enough features for a beginner usage at a reasonable price. There are different models of bidet out there that provides more features but at a much higher price. It all depends on what you are look for. Comparing to another brand of bidet we bought that uses a remote control, we prefer the hardwired one. Two reasons, the first is we don't have to look for the remote every time we need to use the bidet features as many times after usage, we just randomly put the remote down and the next person has to find it. The second is the remote could malfunction and you can't use any of the features and this happens to us. The bidet is useless until we get a replacement remote. Lucky we are still within the warranty period and can get a free replacement without extra out of pocket cost. The replacement remote cost about $80 in addition to the shipping cost. So if you do get a bidet, doesn't have to be Toto, but any brand, I suggest get the hardwired ones and not the ones that use a remote.

When I remodeled my basement with a new bathroom, I installed an outlet by the toilet for a toilet bidet. The Toto Washlet is great. It was easy to install and is easy to use. It took a few times to figure out how to best use it's features, but I have it dialed in and it works very well for me.

I don't know how I've made it this far in life before buying this thing. I really wanted a TOTO bidet after using one in Japan, and I'm happy they sell this one with American style plug. After using it for several months, I can easily say this is one of the best home improvements I've ever made. The water temperature heater and seat heater are very nice touches that function great and are reliable. The water tank stays warm for about 15-20 seconds at max pressure before turning cold. The micro adjustable recepticle is a nice touch. The fanning and pulsing features are also next level. Lets just say that what used to take 10+ rounds of wipes now only takes 2. My only complaint is that I hate answering nature's call away from home now.

The directions were amazingly clear. It took me 10 minutes to install the seat once I had read he directions. The installation of an electrical box took about 4 hours of my time and was a bit tricky. The unit functions so well! You feel clean and use TP really only to dry yourself completely. The push buttons are very intuitive and everything works so well!--I love it!!

After coming back from Italy, with basic functional bidets, my husband bought and installed this. It looks like a hospital toilet, uncomfortable to sit on or lean back on, too many choices for water control (squiggly, warm, front, back, on, off, this, that) and the buttons are hard to see. Bottom line, this is a glorified, Americanized, bastardized version of a simple idea of a bidet -- to clean your privates with water. This is not for me. Plus, you can never tell if the thing is off. Half the time it isn't. Way too much cheap design for a simple, basic, functional fixture.
