1) Warm Water: I wanted a bidet with heated water so economy bidets were out. The water starts out warm and slowly gets less so, but not cold and never unpleasant. 2) Controls: I thought I should spend more to get unit with a remote with user settings, but I'm glad I didn't. I like that the controls are right next to me and not hidden in menus or on different sides of a remote like others. I find that I like pushing the buttons I want, when I want them. My daughter likes the "kids" button. She's 6 and still yells "can you come check me" because shes worried she didn't get all the poop. She loves knowing she absolutely clean. The Auto button is cool, but I don't use it much. It runs through the gamut of functions with one push and ends with the dryer. Oh, at the start of each use, the nozzle starts in the middle position, water pressure at middle pressure, etc. They're perfect just like that 95% of the time. Makes me wonder what analysis went into figuring out right where to aim for that middle position :). 3) Dryer: The dryer actually does get you mostly dry. Even though there's still a little dampness, I don't mind, it's just a bit of clean water. Maybe if you sit there for two or three cycles of the dryer it would get you completely dry. A bit more on the buttons, push the bidet button once and it cleans without oscillation, push it again and it oscillates. Same for womens. A second push of the dryer button increases fan speed. It gets warm enough for sure. Now even if you want to wipe any excess water off, you're still using less toilet paper because you would have grabbed for some twice or thrice instead of just once. 4) Water Pressure: Some others say they have the Most water pressure so I was worried this wouldn't have enough for a guy who needs some power washing at times. It has enough. Enough for an upset stomach event. 5) Water temp: I keep it on economy mode so it keeps the water at a comfortable 86 degrees instead of the middle temp constantly. Once you sit down, it starts to heat the water up even more to your setting. It doesn't get up there in time for a #1, but does if you sit there a bit for a #2. And as I stated earlier, it never gets to an uncomfortably cold temperature. Maybe 86 degrees at least. And that's much warmer than the straight cold tap. 6) Seat: I got the Round version for my round toilet. All of these bidet seats seems to push you forward and leave less room left. Not enough to be a problem (5'-6", 150lbs). Not enough to not want to keep it. Not even close. Actually my neighbor is (6'-3", 220lbs) and got this same seat 3 weeks before me. He loves it too. I did not get this because he did though. I researched HARD for 6 days and decided on this one. Oh the seat is heated. On the economy setting it seems to keep the seat at a temp like someone else just got off of it. Then it starts to warm it up more once you sit down. You’re not supposed to sit on the seat lid, which we never do anyway. The lid is slow closing which we love. All of our lids were already slow closing. Must have. 7) Other Bidet Comparisons: While at the time the in-stock pickings were slim, this one was in stock. But I could have got the comparable Toto C100 or C200. The greater price of the Toto wasn't an issue. I still picked this one. It may be because I called Bio-Bidet customer support and a very friendly/helpful woman talked about bidet's and bidet comparisons with me. While we talked, she suddenly said she found this one in stock on Amazon. It wasn't in stock the day before so I hadn't even checked again. That was helpful and she was nice, and if I needed help with a new type of product I purchase, I wanted it to be someone like them. 8) Missing Features?: No night light which I'm fine with, we have a tiny night light plugged into an outlet. No auto seat opening which I'm fine with as it would likely open every time I walked by it to the closet or it wouldn't open fast enough, etc. No deodorizer which I'm fine with as I don't want to replace deodorizer cartridges. Maybe it would be nice for a main floor bathroom where visiting guests can take a #2 and not worry about the smell and be embarrassed because most vents take a while to get that all out. No remote which I'm fine with as all of the remotes seem to have functions on the front, back and even sides. Too much fiddling around to be worth having user presets. Easier for my daughter to use and for my wife to get on board with the controls all being in the open and right on the side. 9) Installation: Easy. Everything I needed was provided except a crescent wrench and maybe white plumber tape to make sure the connections do not leak. They may have provided some, but I already had some. Took me a leisurely 45 minutes.
