Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Overall, I am very pleased with this toilet seat. I love the heating function, and love that I will use far less toilet paper. The warm seat will be very nice when the cold midwestern winter hits. Here are some comments that I hope others will find helpful: Some points that are not inherently obvious when reading the description or looking at pictures: -The size of the "seat" part of the toilet seat seems significantly smaller than a standard elongated toilet seat. The size of the tank in the back pushes you further forward on the toilet by a good 3 inches compared to a standard elongated seat. It becomes closer to the size of a round toilet seat. -The lid and seat both have the slow-close function. Some seats only slow-close with the lid, and men run the risk of slamming the seat down loudly. This is different, as both the seat and lid have a controlled closing mechanism. Very nice. -There is a water filter that goes between the supply and the reservoir tank. I am not sure what the recommended interval of time is before this needs to be changed. -The manufacturer recommends only using a damp cloth to clean it and no toilet cleaning chemicals. -The water and blower functions are disabled if you are not sitting on the seat. This is nice if you have children in the house. Installation comments: -The seat attaches to the toilet by sliding onto a mount that is bolted to the usual toilet seat mount holes. It then locks into place. -The electrical cord is located in the middle of the back of the seat, making it equally as usable with a left-sided or right-sided electrical outlet. It measures about 46" and is a 3-prong grounded plug. -No plumber's tape is included, but it is necessary for installation to prevent leaks. It is a 50-cent item that should just be included with the box. Reasons I did not give 5 stars: -The dryer never seems to completely dry your backside. There is always a small amount of water left over and a need for at least some toilet paper. (See UPDATE 4/21/2017) -The water supply line attaches in a perpendicular direction to the side of the seat with a flexible hose. This leaves a loop of hose that is clearly visible on the controls side of the seat (See my uploaded photo). The modern bathroom product photo is clearly not installed with plumbing. You would see hoses everywhere if that photo was taken of a working BB-600. I think I will try to find a 90-degree elbow adapter to have the hose enter in a forward direction rather than from the side. This should help hide the unsightly loop of hose. Overall, a very good purchase. I got it on Woot for about two hundred forty. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering either a heated seat or a bidet. UPDATE 4/21/2017: As R. Moser pointed out in the comments to this review, the dryer picks up speed if you push the button twice. This eliminates the need for those few squares of toilet paper. Thanks for the recommendation!
