Bio Bidet BB1700 Bliss BB-1700 Bidet Toilet Seat, Elongated, White

To preface this: I had washlets on my toilets for a number of years. Then moved cross country, and although I brought my current washlets with me, they weren't compatible with my new place's toilets (bowl shape was the issue).I should have replaced them, but procrastinated in doing so - good washlets aren't usually cheap!Finally ordered a Bio-Bidet washlet (my previous were a different company's) after too many years - why did I wait so long????It's been a long time between my experiencing my former brand and this Bio-Bidet - so I can't give an accurate comparison, and will leave this as my experience with the Bio-Bidet Bliss 20000 only.So far, my household is pretty pleased!Pros:-ease of use-relatively competitive price-remote shows more information than most bidets with a handheld remote (the last washlet/bidet I had with a similar remote was a Blooming). Many have minimal information, or no screen.Cons:-wish the warm water reservoir/capacity was a bit larger. It's not endless, instant warm water. I don't expect "endless," but a little more longevity would be nice.-heated fan/dryer - as others have pointed out, the fan is positioned on the left side of the washlet, and dries unevenly. I can agree with the temperature level comments as well - it gets pretty hot!! I usually use the dryer for just a bit, and blot any water remainingNeutral:- I bought an inline filter from the manufacturer for the bidet's intake line as we have hard water, and I'd like to try and minimize its effect on clogging the nozzles, etc. Neither the filter nor the bidet itself come with an additional piece of piping to fit it with, and it can't attach directly to the bidet's elbow joint safely. IMHO, there should be additional literature included with the bidet, and on the sales descriptions of it, that point out the availability of the filter, as well as what extra plumbing pieces you'll need for the install of an inline filter (if manufacturer isn't going to supply it)Pro tip:If you find the bidet-proper wash's ("bottom," setting) velocity to be too high, sting, or needle you, even on its lowest setting, including the auto or oscillate- try the "ladies'/front," wash setting and position the nozzle however you like. I feel the volume of water on that setting is higher, the spray pattern maybe a little wider, but the velocity a happy medium, almost to max - with no downgrade to cleaning power.Ditto if you'd like a bit of a wider cleaning pattern, but "bottom," on auto or oscillate isn't satisfactory to you.

Disclaimers - I have had this less than a week and this is a "first impressions" review that will be updated over time if it needs to be. Also, there may be some slightly icky medical descriptions in here, so make note of that. It's a longer review and I'll do a pro and con format. My initial situation - I'm a larger guy who had "roids" in the rear and HAD to have an operation to fix the issues. So yes... painful before, and stiches in the rear (ouch and OUCH), and I'm still in recover from that. TP is an absolute NO in that situation, and while wet wipes are slightly better, you still go through a ton of them to properly clean yourself in this scenario. Tried a travel bidet bottle, but they are awkward to hold, squeeze, aim and use at the same time, so I splurged and bought the Bio Bidet 2000. Observations so far:The PROS:1) Flat-out, they clean you VERY well compared to the above mentioned alternatives. It heats water on demand (not via a storage tank), and has a heated seat if you need it. The water rod extends out of it and can be moved up and down (length wise) by a few inches to hit varied areas back there, or you can have it move up and down on it's own. There are five levels of water power spray (I am not making it passed 2 yet - it CAN be powerful) and there's an "enema" spray that's a more narrow spray of water and stronger. Lots of spray options.2) Remote control is large and has every option on it. You can adjust spray strength, rod extension, auto or full manual controls, adjust water temp from cold to very warm, dryer heat, seat heat, and more. There's a very basic control panel on the side of the seat that will let you do the basic "male, female, stop" controls should something happen to the remote.3) This particular model is rated to hold up to 400lbs. If you are a heavier/larger person it's one of the ONLY models that goes up that high weight rated wise. And yes, you pay for that out of the wallet. I had a plumber install it since I can't get down due to the surgery to do it, but it took the pro about 30 minutes to do it right.4) Comes with a 3 year warranty standard - you can (at the time of this writing) extend it to 6 years for $99 from the mfg.The CONS:1) The seat is rated to 400lbs, but feels like a cheaper plastic seat you can get anywhere. The mfg assured me they ARE rated that high, but a tip - she said the plastic used CAN degrade over time if you use the seat heater function a lot, as the heat can degrade the plastic. So... use the heat less, and there's less chance of this. I live in a warmer area, so heated seats are not necessary for me.2) The oval seat I got is SMALLER than a typical oval seat size, opening wise. I guess it's because there are mechanical parts in the back of the seat that need room, but it's noticeably smaller opening wise than my old standard seat. Comfortable enough to sit on, but almost feels like a kid's seat to a larger person - more averaged sized people may not feel this way.3) This uses (give or take) up to around 1500 watts of power if you have the water temp and seat temp cranked up along with the seat in-use. Make note of that if you have an older home with older circuit boxes. You can tone these settings down or use the "eco" mode to save power. If I crank it up, it literally makes my bathroom lights flicker when using it. The power cord is only around 3 feet, so if your outlet is on a wall and not next to the toilet, invest in a heavy-capacity extension cord for it.4) You CANNOT sit on the lid - it's just frankly, cheap plastic. You can only sit on the seat.5) The air dryer is in a spot where on ME, it literally just blows warm air on the side of my left rear cheek and does not um, "go exactly where it needs to go" - this is me, or I would think larger people in general. More averaged sized people may not have this issue.Summary: While there are some cons for me, ultimately it boils down to one thing - it's ability to clean you in that area, and in that regard, it's a HUGE pro. Recovering from surgery, and also having mild IBS type gnarly visits to the bathroom sometimes, this device really DOES clean a whole lot better than wiping, or using travel bottles. It's literally like a car wash for your rear end. It will help you in terms of cleanliness but also help your demeanor, because anyone who has to spend a lot of time wiping and cleaning after every single trip to the bathroom for whatever reason will tell you - it wears you down mentally too, as well as sometimes even making you sore physically. This should help a lot. Does it completely eliminated the need for TP or wipes 100%? No. You'll still need to dry yourself after, and maybe use 1-2 wipes etc. But it will cut those down considerably.These are certainly not cheap. And if you are not someone who is over 250lbs (the rating for most of these type toilets) you can probably get one of the other models rated for those sizes, because this again, has a rating of 400lbs, and you're paying a lot for that extra feature. Shop around but what it boils down to is, a good bidet toilet seat is going to (not exaggerating) change your life in terms of being clean "down there" compared to what you've probably been doing your whole life. Happy spraying.

I cant just give a stuffy review of this product because I am in love! I waited way too long to purchase my very first Bidet, which is bad and good. Bad only because I should have not waited so long and good because I waited long enough to allow for the quality and technology to catch up making the experience that much better. I knew that if I was going to take the plunge into this Bidet thing, I wanted the best and this is it!First the love story. Ok, so without being graphic there are those of us who need to use way too much T.P. to clean ourselves completely. And even after using way, way too much paper "we" still find that we cannot wear white underwear because we always find our underwear stained anyway! I can tell you that the Bio Bidet Bliss BB2000 is indeed "Bliss" because the cleaning experience is soooo satisfying and cleansing! Multi levels of warmth for the seat, multi levels of warmth of water for the spray, and the fact that you can change the water pressure and location of the spray just makes it a luxury experience. I chose the BB2000 after researching the high end Bidets and it was chosen for its boasting of spray power and its warranty along with the spray modes. The first time I used the BB2000 was a bit... errr... interesting and surprising, but in no time was I loving the feeling of the cleaning and just knowing how much better cleaning I was getting. After working my way through the instruction and playing with the remote for a few minutes, I had it mastered and wow, it was fantastic. I use just a few squares of paper now to dab myself dry and found I was clean as coming out of the shower! I was in love, it was worth every penny. I can now wear white underwear again!Ok, now for the boring parts that are important:First off, this Bidet was simple to install with minimal tools. Even if you are not handy with tools or installing things like this, there are tutorials on YouTube that can help. Just be careful when you tighten the PLASTIC threaded fittings. If you cross thread them you are in big trouble. THIS is my only complaint about this product that may or may not be justified. I wish the input water fitting to the Bidet was metal to metal but it's all plastic. It certainly does the job, no leaks, but just feels a little more fragile than what an all metal connection would offer. Be careful about over tightening plastic fittings. They need to be snug but if you crank them down you will crack or strip them in the worst case.Its important to have a dedicated GFCI circuit to plug the device into and it is recommended in the instructions as well. I am no electrician so I did hire one to install the outlet. You really want to protect this Bidet because ALL of the fuses are INTERNAL and you cannot reset anything if you blow and internal fuse. Your Bidet becomes just and expensive toilet seat if that happens.You want this model like this because it works primarily by remote with only a small function button on the side that is best just left as a night light, which is great too. The Bidets with the controls attached to the seat are certainly subject to being damaged if leaned on and just more surfaces to clean. There is a sensor in the seat so you cannot accidently activate the Bidet and make a mess. The BB2000 looks a little thicker at the back hinge side , but noting ugly. It has a quiet soft closing lid and is easy to clean. The spray nozzles are all parked internally when not in use and self clean before and after use. The rest of the Bidet is easy to clean as well.The remote, after you read the instructions and used it a little bit is easy to use. The only thing it lacks is not being back lit or illuminated in any way. I realize we don't normally do our business in the dark, but when I have a need late at night and dont want to turn the light on, I have to use the Bidet night light to see the buttons more clearly. The remote is a little bit large for some tastes, but I have no problem with it. It has a sticky back plate if you want to mount it.There is a higher pressure enema function too. Let me just say it is a bit stingy when you use it. Its a pretty fine stream that can be a bit uncomfortable. As for me, I guess I'm just too... something... because I cant seem to use it as it was intended, not quite able to get through. But, I do used it to power clean and its very effective! All the cleaning modes are on a timer too which is good I guess.I see that in the reviews a few may have had problems nearing the fourth year of use. There is always somebody who will have a bad experience and so far I am problem free, but this Bidet is so awesome, if it breaks one day after the warranty expires, I will gladly pay for a new one no matter what... yep, I am that much in love. I even wait to come home to do... yeah, that... because I have become such a toilet snob now that I joke with my friends that only heathens use paper to clean themselves! Its so good.If you read this far let me tell you the next thing to do is JUST BUY IT! Being free from using all that paper and knowing that when the next toilet paper crisis comes I will just giggle because this thing is awesome. It is a now brainer and worth the money for the quality. There are lots of cheaper Bidets out there, and I was tempted to save some money, but when you research build and quality this is the way to go. Sure, you can drive a Yugo and it will get the job done I guess, but this Cadillac will get you there in luxury, comfort, and in a way that will do the job better with gadgets that really make a difference! Just do it and enjoy!

So we got our first bidet seat for xmas 2018. It was a Brondell E600. Just to set the stage...I am 6'3" and weigh about 270lbs and my wife is 5'8" and weighs about 160lbs. We really liked everything about this bidet with one exception. It has a water tank with heater and the warm water would run out within about 15-20 seconds even though most everything I read said it would last 40-60 seconds. Now, it really only takes about 10-15 seconds of washing to get the job done BUT...I like to let it go a little longer just to make sure it's all nice and clean on the ole bottom so we would run out of warm water most of the time. Due to this, we decided to move that seat to our kid's bathroom and order another one for me and the wife. Wifey said that the Brondell E600 also didn't seem like it hit the right spot on her front wash and she had to wiggle around a bit to get that done but it wasn't a deal breaker for her because she liked everything else about it. We started shopping around again and decided on the Biobidet BB-2000.Biobidet BB-2000 - This seat has a lot of features but we felt like the quality of this seat was not as good as the Brondell. We also noticed that the seat did not stay very warm. It seemed like it was just about room temp all the time, after you sat down for about 30 seconds you could feel it start warming up. It almost seemed like it was in eco mode all the time no matter whether it was set to low or high. It did seem to have an endless supply of warm water no matter how long you let the wash cycle run. I ended up contacting someone at bidetking.com and asking about the seat warming and was told that they have one in their office and it's the same way. We decided the cost was too much to just settle so we returned it and have now ordered a Brondell swash 1200.Brondell Swash 1200 - waiting on delivery so can't say at this time but feel confident we will love it.Summary:After owning a Brondell, a Biobidet and a Alpha JX we have decided that of them all we liked the Brondell brand a lot more. It just seems like the quality is better. The seat is nice and toasty at all times even on the low and medium settings. On the Biobidet and the Alpha we noticed when you get up from the toilet the seat wants to lift up with you. That did not happen on the Brondell. Seems like that is due to the heavy dutyness (don't think that's a real word) of the seat of the Brondell. The lid of the Biobidet seemed very flimsy and weak. The Alpha was better in that regard. The Alpha seemed to clean the worst of them all that we've tried. This is a significant investment (well worth it in our opinion) and you should be completely satisfied since you will be using it daily. We truly believe based on experience now that the amount of toilet paper we will save the seat will pay for itself in 2 yrs or less.Obviously, there is a fair amount of personal preference with an item like a bidet but for us, we think the Brondell brand is significantly better quality than all the others we tried. I can also say that I used to travel to Japan quite a bit and they almost solely use Toto brand there so I have tried them also and the Brondell brand seems everybit as good as a Toto and Brondell seems to have more features for less money than Toto.My wife said that both the Biobidet and the Alpha did a better job washing her front parts but I believe that's because they both have 2 separate wands (one for the rear and one for the front) which allows for better washing of a ladies parts than just having one wand for both like the Brondell E600 we had first. The new Brondell swash 1200 we have ordered has 2 wands so we are expecting it to wash her front lady parts as well as the Biobidet and Alpha.No matter which one you choose, if you have never had a bidet seat, I think you'll find it's a game changer and you'll wonder how you have gone so long and never owned one. We will never be without one again. It works so much easier and better than toilet paper and/or wipes. Is better for your sewer or septic system and the environment. The Brondell washed so well that even after the wash you can wipe with toilet paper and find the paper will be completely clean! Other than using the single piece of toilet paper to dry off with, you wouldn't need to wipe at all. That reminds me, the dryer function on them all is pretty much worthless so don't let that be a deciding factor in your evaluation of any of them. Oh, and my wife really likes the blue nightlight function on the Brondell too. Hope this helps anyone who is shopping to help you make a decision and get the most bang for your buck.

Pro:Installing was super simple and straightforward. Took me about 30 minutes total to removed the old seat and installing the new one. Love that I comes with everything needed for the installation. I like the fact that you can adjust the water pressure and the heated functions works great. It also comes with a lot of features. As far as the sprayer, you will want to your bottom around to get a nice clean.Con:What I didn't really like much is the seat sort of position you a little too forward, what I mean by this is when you sit your genital is basically touching the edge of the seat. I literally have to lean forward to let it drop down so it doesn't touch. Women don't have to worry about this. I'm 5'8 165lbs and the seat fits me pretty good, it's not great but good. That being said, I definitely do not think this will work on the big folks. Lastly, the dryer is ok. You really have to sit for a good 3 minutes for it to completely dry you. I use it to dry a little and use TP to clean the rest.Overall, I gave it a 4 stars. Will come back in a few months to update
