Brand Spotlight: TOTO Brings a Better Bathroom Experience
Innovation puts TOTO at the forefront of plumbing tech, but it’s their “people-first” motto that keeps them accessible.
TOTO is best known for its bidet and WASHLET® technology, but they believe strongly in creating a better bathroom experience for all. To this end, TOTO designs products for every part of the bathroom; to create a clean space for relaxing, refreshing, and reflecting where anyone can feel truly at ease.
What is WASHLET®?
The WASHLET® is unique to the TOTO brand and they take great pride in this technology. A bidet seat, WASHLET® is a water-cleansing system that utilizes a warm-water nozzle, controlled by the user. Hands-free, adjustable-temperature drying completes the process. WASHLET® employs a water-saving dual flushing system and automatic flush, as well as a remote control.
Advances & Innovations
TOTO recently introduced the Nexus WASHLET®+ Toilet with auto-flush. Maintenance is made easy with the skirted bowl, and it easily connects with its companion WASHLET® bidet seat with auto-flush compatibility. Tornado Flush is a vigorous rinsing action that keeps the bowl cleaner, longer using two powerful nozzles. It’s also efficient, using only 1.0 or 1.28 gallons per flush.
WASHLET® is more than just a toilet seat. It’s a personal cleansing system that uses your home’s water supply to provide a fresh, clean, warm flow of water. When the cleansing cycle on WASHLET® is activated, a wand using WONDERWAVE® technology extends from beneath the seat. The user may engage the drying cycle once the cleansing cycle has finished, reducing the need for toilet tissue.
WASHLET® models have differing features including: sensor operation with auto open and close and auto flush; a heated seat; an in-bowl catalytic deodorizer; and energy and water-saving features like dual flush.
WASHLET® Models
Whether you’re just curious about a bidet experience in your home or ready for the full luxury package, TOTO has a seat for you. But beware, once you discover the benefits of WASHLET®, you won’t want to live without it!
The WASHLET® A100 is a great starting point for the bidet-curious. Streamlined and efficient, it has an adjustable wand to dispense front and rear warm water washing with three temperature settings and five pressure settings. The heated seat is soft-close and easy to install and remove for cleaning.
The WASHLET® C200 is an elongated, soft-close seat featuring PREMIST, which delivers ecology-minded luxury by spraying the bowl before each use, preventing buildup. In addition to the self-cleaning, adjustable wand with front and rear warm water washing and five adjustable temperature and pressure controls, this WASHLET® features an oscillating or pulsating stream option. The heated seat has a warm air dryer and features an automatic air deodorizer. All of this can be controlled by the remote, which has an illuminated touch pad and preferred memory settings.
The WASHLET® S500E is an electronic luxury heated bidet seat operated by a touchpad remote and is capable of 2 user profile save functions. It includes PREMIST technology, cleansing the bowl after each use, and also features new EWATER+® technology which uses electrolyzed water that helps to keep the bowl clean without any harsh chemicals. In addition to the adjustable front and rear cleansing with optional oscillation, temperature, and pressure controls, this model also has an auto open and close contemporary lid that resides flush with the toilet bowl. This gives the impression of an integrated toilet bowl and seat system. As well, the elongated seat is specially designed to hide the bidet seat’s power cord and water hose.
