TOTO SW583#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.

Ever since I lived in Japan, I wanted one of these back home in USA. Let me tell you, you'll never want to use a different toilet setup again!It took 20 minutes to install and properly fit, including the water line adapter; too easy! The remote is simple to use and the memory is easy to set, supporting recall of water pressure and position settings for 2 people.The bowl light and side light are great. I can leave the lights completely off and when I walk in they turn on so it's not dark. Let me provide disambiguation here though that this is NOT a nightlight that some models have, these lights only turn on when the toilet is being used or you proximity-trigger the IR beam.The autoclean feature works great and I've only had to clean the bowl once every month or so. The customizable heated seat works perfectly. I love the toggleable seat lift feature too.When using the water spray feature, there is a shutoff timer built in which takes effect after a minute or so, presumably to preserve the life of the pump motor.With this model's tankless water heater, you don't run out of heated water. The temperature is very consistent and doesn't vary.After buying this, my father bought a similar Toto for my mother in their house. Then my father even bought one, and he's super old-school American so I was shocked. Then my grandmother got one. Seems everyone loves theirs!I paired this with a Squatty Potty and will NEVER look back (watch the YouTube advertisement commercial for it if you don't know about them).With the bidet function, you get most the gunk off you after #2, but not quite everything in my experience. Still it's way better than using toilet paper especially if you suffer from hemorrhoidsI've used maybe 10 rolls of toilet paper in the last year, and now only use a single sheet of adult washcloths to touch things up. Take that, COVID-19 toilet paper hoarders!CONS:There aren't any, just these suggestions:If you use the autoclean feature (highly recommended), close the bathroom door at night if you're a light sleeper as it may disturb you. It's not loud, but distinctive enough to jolt me awake thinking someone was in my house :)Be sure to properly set the lid autoopen/close timer's interval to something that works for you. If the IR sensor detects you walking by it on your way to another room, either disable it or properly configure it!You can configure the toilet to automatically raise either the lid or both the lid and the seat. For the ladies in the house this is particularly important if you want to raise just the lid without touching it yourself- just use the remote button!Properly prep the toilet tank cover for adhesion of the anti-noise nub intended for the lid to make contact with. Yes it makes noise because it's a plastic toilet lid, but my toilet lid was dusty so my nub fell off and I had to get another at Home Depot.
