Are Toto Washlets Worth It? A Plumber Shows What a Toto Washlet Is and Why He Loves Them 

Hi there ACoustaDC! Go ahead and spoil your wife! You know the saying....happy wife, happy life!

3yrs later didu

PowerL1N3, what a testimony to Toto Washlet toilet seats! Thanks for sharing! I agree with everything you said! 👍

What about a dryer?

@@peaceloveharmony7213 thatsthe 220v model with fast dry

Did you also buy a toto toilet to go with them? OR WHAT TOILET DID YOU BUY? How does it fit?

@@michaelhinchey I got elongated seats with my new elongated toilets (now 8 months old). The toilet I bought was a niagara stealth ultra high efficiency toilet for all my bathrooms that use 0.8gpm water. I haven’t had any of the issues people have with the toilets since i paired them with the bidets and don’t flush toilet paper down the toilet anymore because I don’t use toilet paper. The dryer does work in my opinion and again the bidet cleans everything, I’ve checked with a camera to see that there was nothing leftover to see how good of a job instead of stain checking my boxers because there still could be hidden pieces from what I heard stuck (trying not to be gross but give a clear truthful statement) I love it! My wife loves it! My kids love it! A testimony for my kids they did use to have stains from using toilet paper because of learning how to clean properly back there. Now they don’t because the bidet cleans everything and I’ve taught them how easy it is to use. In the last 8 months my water bill and sewage bill has gone down DRAMATICALLY! since I’ve been using my new toilets paired with these bidets and I’m lovin’ it! Best investment!

Daniel Velez Diaz, Grumpy Plumber’s wife here to tell you your mom will absolutely love a Toto Washlet!!

sonyalvn, the toilet is a Toto Drake comfort height. I don’t remember the model number on the Washlet but it’s the one with the heated seat.

@lllmmm3572, our Washlet toilet seats are on GFI outlets and have never been a problem.

Karla Garza, call Toto at 888 295-8134. They will be glad to help you. If it can’t be repaired by you, they will make arrangements to have you send the Washlet to them for repairs. The turn around time is great.

TheDarkGamer, I have never dealt with this brand. First thing I would do is to turn the supply water off, disconnect it, and run the water in a bucket to see if there is good pressure there. If there is good pressure, then the problem is in the seat. I would use a new braided stainless steel supply line. If you don’t have good pressure at the angle stop, I would change that too. Before you reconnect, see if there is a screen on the connection that might be blocked with debris that would slow the pressure. Check your spray nozzle and if rubber, clean with your hand to remove the lime. My newest Washlet toilet seat has a button for the rear spray and when you touch it twice, it produces more pressure. Plus you can control the pressure on the remote. Does your toilet seat have that feature? I hope this helps. If you are not happy with this model, hopefully you can return it and try another brand. I really like how I can control the pressure.....very important feature on any brand.

@@TheGrumpyPlumber I think it's the water supply line is old and blocked. I'm gonna replace it this weekend and hopefully that'll fix the issue.

TheBillionsofpeople, all Toto toilets are manufactured in Japan. The toilets you buy on Amazon come from a plumbing distributor in the US.

@@TheGrumpyPlumber Thank you for your response!

Mike, Amazon has Toto Washlets from $800-1,000. Plus installation. What I like about Toto ...... You call them and they will try to help you over the phone. If they can’t fix it, they will send a shipping box, repair it and send back to you. If in warranty, no charge. There is a reasonable fee otherwise.

@@TheGrumpyPlumber thanks

why?

Why is this a downside?

Your bathroom should already have one for safety reasons.

Yeah, electricians are installing them next to toilets for this very reason, so that's expensive $$$. Some bidets will hook up to the warm water connection on the sink.

@@michaelhinchey not all older homes have outlets near toilets.

you seem to like foreign objects in your can.

@@RadioRich100 Yeah it's pretty gay to want to be clean.

@@quarterburnt Its gay to want foreign objects in your can.

@nicolemontgomery4800, the Washlet toilet seat heats the water and you can set the temperature. That’s why you need power to the seat.

Jeff, my wife has no complaints on Toto brand toilets. Usually better quality toilets have a better glaze which helps to keep them clean. Do not use any toilet tank “ hockey puck” cleaners! Don’t let toilet bowl liquid cleaners sit in the bowl for very long.

SuperBafco, do you have electric power to the toilet seat? If you do, it should be heating the water. If it’s not heating the water, you should call the manufacturer.

Ree Ree, we have one Toto Washlet that is 12 years old and another that we’ve had for 8 years. If it needs to be repaired, we call Toto manufacturer and they send a box to ship it to them, they repair and sent back to us. I’ve had three repaired for my customers. They are a very good product.

Jesus Leon, it should take about an hour for a plumber to install a Washlet. The main thing is that you need a 110 electrical outlet. You might need an electrician for that, unless you can do it.

Why would it take a plumber an hour you just did it in 20 mins and the plug was already there?

@@reeree3513 plug wasn't there. He installed a plug under the one he pointed to. Also most plumbers, or any other tradesman, charges a minimum of one hour. Wouldn't be worth traveling for a $20 job.

Frank0020, sorry but that is not an option.

@@TheGrumpyPlumber 😁

Ree Ree, that’s a hard question….get another maintenance guy. Get someone who knows what he’s doing.

A must will be the iOS/android app

Next will be toilets that can tell what your diet is. And alexa flushing the toilet.

If you bought a Toto Washlet with the heated water, you can set the temperature on the remote. With time between using it, you should have plenty of warm water. The water comes directly from your water source and heated inside the seat. If bought from Amazon, return it and buy the upgraded heated water one…model # SW3084 white around $400. A nice Valentine present. ♥️

M B, haven’t tried that yet! However, you do need to be sitting on the seat for the washing to take place.

Mark Martin, you know you can turn the pressure up on the Washlet remote, right? Or, it that’s not enough pressure, maybe you should get a fire hose and see if that helps.

No, I do not get paid for this video. I recommend products that I like and have good support from the manufacturers. But, if you happen to know someone from Toto and would like to mention my name…..

DUDE, you'll be surprised how much you've left behind when you get one!!! AND it's a lifesaver on your septic system if you have one. THEN AGAIN, Toto customer service is outstanding. I had an imperfection on mine and they sent me a new one without even returning the old one!!!! SO I HAVE TWO!!!!

It is pricey, but it’s from Japan so it must be real nice. Only good things come out of Japan anyway, GT-R, anime, ramen, and many more

Mine cost more like $350 (Toshiba SCS-SW301) and I installed it myself. There are people who practice open defecation and I'm sure they feel about toilets the way that you feel about washlets. As for me, I can no longer imagine life without it and I'd rather spend $1000 on a toilet seat than on a new phone.
