Kohler PureWash E580 Bidet Heated Toilet Seat, Elongated, Adjustable Water Pressure & Temperature, Warm Water Frontal & Rear Wash, Self Cleaning, Quiet-Close, White

Great Korean bidet product matching the Novita model I used to have when living in South Korea. A Western barbarian no longer my rear side stays clean, warm, and comfortable. These things are so great. It's not perfect all the time, I leave it on eco mode to save energy so there is a lead time from when you sit (it can detect you sitting, somehow, kind-of sorcerous if you ask me) to when the seat gets toasty but it is only a few seconds, similar thing and again probably because of eco mode it does take a moment for the water to heat or you might get a bit of cold water followed by warmth. Just something I thought folks might want to know. You can leave it on all the time as I did in Korea for maybe 3 years but I wanted this unit to last indefinitely so I'm being more cautious.If you've never had one of these before you're in for quite a treat and you probably will not even want to use a restroom anywhere else. This was the first time actually installing it myself, overseas I hired a plumber, but eventually I was able to hook it up, the install booklet was not 'as' intuitive as I would prefer as they do not label the parts very well but overall install took 30mins for me and has maintained all its seals with no leaks of water.Seldom do products made of plastic have a high quality feel to them. This does. This is meant to last with many many uses, for years. If you're on the fence about it, no need, I've never regretted having one and always regret when I don't. I hunted specifically for this version too as someone with experience due to past (and present) positive experience with build quality and reliability.

Had the use of a heated TOTO seat in the middle of winter in Central NY. Decided I wanted one, hence this Christmas present for myself. Installation was easy, all parts included. Didn't need clips or an extension cord as the power outlet was within reach. The cord exits to the right of the seat. Controls are on a side panel that gets covered when you sit. I liked the cost for the included features. I didn't want a wireless control. I like the adjustable temp settings- low, med, hi, for water and seat. The instructions warn of high temps for seniors. Medium is about as warm as I'd use. The wash feature states 90 seconds, but that seems long. I've stopped it before it's finished. There is a power-saver setting. The seat inclines several inches toward the tank which took a bit of getting used to. This unit is designed for a round bowl which is shorter than what I was using previously. All in all it functions well, is temp adjustable and warms my tush on 65 degree winter mornings. Love it as much as my heated waterbed.

While in Hawaii, the hotel my wife and I stayed at had a bidet. We were scared to use it at first but came home and had to buy one! Of course, most toilets in America are round, and smaller than others around the world so we had to look for a bidet that would fit a small round toilet. This one fits GREAT!! Yes, it is compact and sometimes seems cramped but they made great use of the space they could!This is a basic bidet with lots of features1.) Unlimited hot water! I have ran it 4 or 5 times in a row and water is always hot (hooked to cold toilet line)2.) One of the few I could find with both front and back spray options!!3.) The dryer actually works GREATIt is missing a few features but for the price, that is expected. It has no memory, no profiles, no remote. But for the price it has all my wife and I wanted and needed!Installing was super easy!

Long term update, one year of use:After a year I can upgrade this bidet to 5 stars. It has performed very well and I've adjusted to the water pressure and I can even use the middle setting. The self cleaning feature keeps the nozzle clean. It does take some practice to be fully effective at using the bidet properly. I would still not say I use less toilet paper because there is some overspray and it takes some toilet paper to dry everything off.The seat itself has a couple of ridges in unfortunate places. It does make it harder to keep the seat itself fully clean. I rub it down every day with wipes and it's still got a little very stubborn buildup in the seam where the seat is joined together (I assume is has a seam because inside the seat is a heating element). This may be unavoidable with a heated seat.Original review:I had always avoided bidets because I thought it would be hard to install or difficult to use. Neither is true. I was able to install this bidet in about 20 minutes, with no leaks. I was able to begin using it effectively about 5 minutes after that.It is remarkably easy to use, very effective, and surprisingly full featured at this price point. I do wish that the lowest pressure setting was a bit lower because sometimes it sprays too hard, I took off one star for this (I honestly cannot imagine who could possibly use "turbo" mode safely). On the paper front I'd say there are some days it helps me save toilet paper and some days I use more, on balance I think it's about the same use.If you have it plugged in on the low seat temp and high water temp it will use power 24 hours a day to keep the seat and the water warm at all times. I plugged it into my kill-a-watt to see how much electricity this uses. Over 12 hours, just sitting idle, it used .15 kWh. I calculated that over the course of a year, if I used that feature all year, it would cost me $33 (assuming a cost per kWh of 30 cents). For this price you get to always have a warm seat and warm water waiting, it may be well worth it.Overall I like having it as an option even though I don't use it every time (mostly due to the pressure coming out being too high).Note, you can press the little green button for energy saving modes, "super" pretty much turns all the standby power off. On that setting the water and seat will start off cold.

I picked up two bidet seats, similarity priced the Kohler from Amazon, Brondell CL 1700 from Costco. While the Brondell has a remote and high quality materials, the Kohler has the edge - a better wash. The controls are to the right and while it takes a bit to know the features and buttons, it’s easy to use and well designed. Both are easy to set up and better than none. Thinking about adopting? Just go for it.
