TOTO has a very large line of bidet toilet seats, starting from entry-level units to super high-end models. Their A100 Electronic Bidet Toilet<\/u><\/a><\/strong> is one of their more basic models that\u2019s missing many of the convenience-adding features you\u2019d find in their C200 and K300. <\/p>\n

\"TOTO<\/p>\n

But is it a bad bidet? Not at all! Check out our review of the TOTO A100 to see exactly what is has (and doesn\u2019t have) to offer.<\/p>\n

Side-Panel Controller<\/h3>\n

One of the more significant differences between the A100 and TOTOT\u2019s higher-end bidet toilet seats is the remote control, or the A100\u2019s lack thereof. Adjusting water temperature and activating oscillating cleanse is done by pressing buttons on side-panel controller. <\/p>\n

\"TOTO
TOTO SW2014#01 A100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Because it\u2019s built onto the toilet seat, there\u2019s no risk of it going missing, although you need to mindful of splashing water when washing your hands at your bathroom sink. <\/p>\n

Heated SoftClose Seat<\/h3>\n

The A100 wouldn\u2019t be a TOTO bidet toilet if it didn\u2019t have heated seats. It comes with the standard SoftClose Seat found in many of TOTO\u2019s bidet model, but this one has 3 temperature settings instead of a programmable one within a certain temperature range. <\/p>\n

All you need to do to choose between the presets is press the button on the side-panel control.<\/p>\n

Heated Water Reservoir<\/h3>\n

The same goes for controlling water temperature. The A100 uses a reservoir system instead of an instantaneous heating element, so if the tank runs out, you\u2019ll have to wait several minutes for it to replenish water at your chosen temperature of between 94\u00b0 and 104\u00b0F. <\/p>\n

The A100 has two memory slots to offer its users quick access to their desired temperature and pressure settings. <\/p>\n

Oscillating Spray Wand<\/h3>\n

Similar to many bidet toilet seats out there, the A100 comes with a frontal (feminine) spray and a posterior spray. The posterior spray can be configured to deliver an oscillating cleanse instead of a continuous, 1-direction spray for more thorough cleaning in the rear. <\/p>\n

\"TOTO
TOTO SW2014#01 A100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This spray is made of plastic instead of stainless-steel, and you can adjust both water temperature and pressure gushing out of it to your liking (3 temperature presets, 5 pressure presets). <\/p>\n

Before and after each use, the spray cleans itself, inside and out, to prevent a spread of bacteria between users so multiple users can feel comfortable using the same seat and spray. <\/p>\n

Easy to Install<\/h3>\n

The only real requirements needed to operate the A100 fully are having a round toilet bowl and a power outlet nearby. If you have those (most modern homes and apartments do), then setting up the A100 is a simple matter of releasing your current toilet seat, fastening this one onto your toilet, and redirecting water to the reservoir and heating element.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, TOTO made maintaining this bidet toilet seat a lot easier than many of its competitors. To detach it from your toilet, you won\u2019t need to unscrew the entire contraption but instead press a quick-release button on the side opposite the controller. In an instant, it unhooks from the toilet to make cleanup (manual washing and sanitizing) a breeze. <\/p>\n

Auto-Energy Saver<\/h3>\n

Not only does the A100 offer peace of mind in terms of cleanliness but in terms of utility costs. The A100 has an automatic energy saver mode that limits its standby time to mere minutes. While on standby, it turns off the heating element and seat warmers in order to reduce excessive power consumption. That\u2019s pretty remarkable for a toilet seat if you ask us.<\/p>\n

No PREMIST, No Deodorizer, No Dryer, No Pulsating Cleanse
\nAs we mentioned at the beginning of this review, the A100 is one of TOTO\u2019s most basic bidet toilet seats. Although basic doesn\u2019t mean bad, it does mean it\u2019s missing a lot of the convenience-adding features you might want in a bidet.<\/p>\n

\"TOTO
TOTO SW2014#01 A100<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For instance, it does have a PREMIST-er that shoots a fine mist of vapor along the inner toilet bowl to prevent waste from sticking onto the surface. It doesn\u2019t have a carbon filter and suction fan to eliminate malodors directly from the source of stink. It can\u2019t dry your rear by delivering a soothing continuous blast of heated air. <\/p>\n

Finally, there\u2019s no pulsating cleansing mode that introduces air into the spray of water for a deeper, more thorough clean. These features are available in the TOTO C200 and K300.<\/p>\n

Verdict: Should I Get the TOTO A100?<\/h2>\n

Assuming you\u2019re ready to take the next step towards a lifestyle of reduced toilet paper use, the only thing you need to ask yourself is whether the A100\u2019s lack of convenience features will make a significant change in the bathroom. <\/p>\n

For first-time bidet buyers, the A100<\/u><\/a><\/strong> will unquestionably leave a mark (so to speak), but we feel there\u2019s just too much to give up if you don\u2019t get the TOTO C200 or K300.<\/p>\n
