- Very easy to install, basically an electrical outlet. Be sure to get the elongated size.
- Swash has separate stainless steel wands for each nozzle. Stainless steel is generally accepted as being more hygienic and resistant to bacteria than plastic, and the separate wand for front and back wash also seems more hygienic.
- The stainless nozzles are a big plus as well. The remote is more user friendly in my opinion, along with having a magnetic mounting bracket option. Not to mention that the Brondell is a bit less expensive. A great product overall, and I prefer the Brondell over the Toto.
- The negative is that the "female's nozzle" does not extend far enough forward to wash the front area. This really is just for the back.
- I loved this for the short period of time it worked properly. Then the rear nozzle stopped extending fully. No problem, use the front and shift a little. Until it stopped extending. I got down there and saw that minerals from our hard water had accumulated on the nozzles.
- It seems intuitive, but make sure you have an electric plug (water safe) within 4 feet of the toilet. The installation is supposed to be easy to DIY but this was not our case. FORGET the directions that come with the seat.
- Bidet pressure, dryer, bowl wetting (so no stain on bowl) and seat warmer work like a charm
- The water connection on this Toto washlet is NOT designed for connection to standard US fill valves (where a tapered washer is hand threaded onto the bottom connection of the fill valve).
- Water tank is very small and warm water does not last very long
- The hot water tank is very small, you easily run out of hot water when you use high pressure in settings.
- Two separate nozzles for front and rear washing (Toto doesn't have this). Strong spray but you can go softer too.
- This does everything you can imagine and more. Temperature controlled, move water jet to where you need it, deodorize, you name it.
- I love that you can move the nozzle all around so it's hitting the right spot (male or female). It's amazing.
- The "front" cleanse for women is like an assault on such delicate flesh. I simply cannot use this feature, even at the lowest setting.
- Even with adjustable nozzle, frontal wash doesn't reach as far as it could so you need to scoot back to make it work.
- Drier sits off to side - doesn't dry even on hottest setting. You would need a drier nozzle like the sprayer nozzle for adequate drying to take place.
- The pulsating massage mode feels great when I use it, but unless I have a lot of time I usually stick with the constant stream which does the trick.
- Those who claim this has low pressure, press the button 2nd time to turn off "SOFT" mode, and it will work great.
- The TOTO also offers a cleaning mode where the spray nozzle is extended for easy cleaning.
- Even in Eco mode the seat and water are always warm and ready and we've not run out of warm water.
- Not a fan of the energy saving mode, seat head doesn't work so it is always cold!
- Water temperature is good, there is a second of room temperature water when you start but i've experienced that on other bidets.
- Gets you very clean, all temperatures are adjustable (heated seat, water), nozzles are adjustable forward and back and also oscillate, wide or narrow spray, it drys, remote control, took about 45 minutes to install with clear directions.
- Adjustable pressure and width of spray. The up and down auto movement bidet function.
- Water pressure, even on the highest setting is too weak for me. I've experienced Toto and their water pressure in the medium range was stronger than Swash at its highest.
- Dryer takes too long (keep a dry wash cloth or hand towel nearby to finish up)
- This is a nice Bidet. However, the water pressure was not adequate for my needs. My only issue was the water pressure.
- Spray wand position is adjustable. Can also set it on oscillate, and it goes back and forth when spraying.
- The remote control works great, and you can adjust just about every aspect of the operations.
- The C200 has a separate remote control but other than that, functionality is the same.
- The remote is great vs. having controls on seat. It may not seem like a big deal, but it's awkward trying to see the controls when you are sitting on them or very close to them.
- The remote must be removed from bracket to change some of the settings (not really a big deal)
- Decent price for what is definitely a high-end unit, nozzle adjustments (forward/back), continuous warm water (never turns cooler), and a lid that you can sit on (most bidets don't have this).
- Effective wand sterilizer and deodorizes well.
- Can take heavier weight folks (more weight than Toto).
- The constant hot water is nive and the seat warmer is as well. The two nozzles are nice the remote is comfy to hold.
- Oscillating water nozzle (Move button) needs to have more back and forth range. You will end up shifting around on the seat anyway.
- Toilet bowl pre-misting sprays water into the bowl when you sit on it. (you can turn this feature off). The misting is only effective on the back half of the toilet bowl. So, it works ok ish most of the time.
- The seat itself is wide and the opening is a good size. Compare this to other brands where the seat feels different than a traditional toilet seat and TOTO is way ahead here.
- The deoterizer fan is annoying. We turned it off and this is not a really useful feature
- The deodorizer I didn’t really care much about either, but again, I learned just how great it was - no smell!!
- The one feature that I turned off was the automatic air deodorizer. Otherwise, it's very noisy with the fan running during the entire time seated and for a short period thereafter.
