I would like to buy a washlet, do you have any recommendations ?
I know there are various cheap and expensive ones, but I don't need the function to heat the seat, but I would like to be able to adjust the temperature between water and hot water.
Also, where is the best place to buy one? ?
If I buy one from Amazon, I have to install it myself, and I'm wondering if it would be cheaper to buy one from a Japanese place.
Please let me know if you have any information.

I got it from Amazon.
It's not too hard to install.

I think the seat should be warmer.

It would be helpful in winter if it has a function to heat the seats.

The choice depends on your budget and the features you need and don't need. ( Temperature control of the toilet seat is almost a standard feature )
The latest models are so well made that you don't need to choose a Japanese product unless you are looking for a particularly high-end product
$ You can choose as many as you like between 200-500. You can choose any number between 200-500

Installing a bidet toilet seat is very easy

However However, many toilets in the U.S. do not have outlets, so you may need an extension cord from the bathroom, or you may have to turn off the main water valve before
installing


Still, you can easily install one within an hour. For your information, Washlet is a name that can be used only for Toto products.

There are two types of toilet seats in the US, so you'd better check the size
There's plumbing for water, so if you've never done it before, you'd better ask a handyman
After all, I've never heard of installation service anywhere you buy, so you'd have to ask someone to do it at extra cost.
Amazon is easy to return, and you can probably buy an extended warranty
heated seats are better
by the way $ the 600 TOTO one broke after 3 years, probably the remote control, but next time I'll buy one that can be operated next to the toilet seat
I didn't realize it was for life $ I think it's a good idea to buy a less than 300 one, not thinking that it's a lifetime thing, but with the feeling of replacing it every 3 years or so.

PS

The Korean one looks surprisingly good.

> Many American bathrooms don't have outlets

Indeed.

I used my handyman's guts and wired both bathrooms to have outlets near the toilets. It would have cost several hundred dollars to have a contractor do it. I'm sure it's the same in other cities, but in the City of LA, only a Qualified Installer from the city can do the wiring for the power lines. The only time you will find this out is when you sell your house, and if the wiring ・ is installed according to city regulations, you won't notice any difference at all.

As someone else mentioned, heated toilet seats should always be included in all models. Now I can't sit on mine without a heated toilet seat anymore. I bought two models from Amazon, first a TOTO model with the control panel attached to the wall, and second a standard model with the control panel attached to the side of the toilet seat.

If you are just after price, you can find cheap Korean brand washlets at the larger Korean food markets.

I use something called Attachment Sprayer for Toilet Seat which can be purchased on Amazon for about $ 30. It does not provide hot water, and I had some reservations before using it, but I decided to give it a try and it has been two years now. It does not require a power supply, and the installation time is estimated to be about 20 minutes.

> Then I've been using a Taiwanese one for 9 years


Can you tell me the name of that brand and the price at that time?

If you've been using it for 9 years, it's not going to break the bank.


My TOTO has had it for 9 years and 4 years, but I fixed it myself when the old one started leaking from the base of the spray that extends when cleaning, slowly but surely. The city water supply sometimes has visible grains of sand mixed in, and it seems that this was getting caught in the spray washer.

The best place to look is on Offerup. I recently bought a Moen for $120. Toto has them for about $200. The question is whether you can install it yourself ? or whether you can properly check the contents and know that you have all the parts.
