Where to you put Washlet remote?

6 years ago

I'm getting a Toto Washlet G400. I'm trying to plan a place for the remote it is in a separate toilet room so no vanity next to the toilet to sit on. I am not sure if I'll have room for a little table next to the toilet. It appears the remote comes with a holder which could just mount to the wall. Other options are toilet paper holders that have a little shelf above (many seem sized for an iPhone - I am not sue the dimensions on the toto remote). Although I also know some people say they really don't use TP with washlets and wondering if I want to make holes to install TP. But I find it hard to imagine I'd not use TP. Other options might be some freestanding TP holder that had a place for the remote.

Any suggestions?

It is mounted to the wall right next to the toilet. There is no reason to remove it from the wall for normal operations. If you reset a feature, you take it off the wall the access the menu function on the back of the remote. I don’t see a need for a shelve or anything else. I have a S350.

What about a niche like you'd do in a shower? It could have a slim shelf above for the remote, and a bigger shelf below for TP or moist cloths. And it would take up no floor space or knee space at all.

Isn't there a wall cradle available (like the thing for your ceiling fan remote)? Cheaper brands have these; I can't imagine that the industry standard would not.

Where do you put your alarm remote?
Q
Comments (1)
I'm not familiar with how the Escape does it, but on my car and the few others I've used that had a remote alarm system, you could either use the remote to unlock the car or use the key in the door, so you should be able to use the key in the door for both disarming the alarm and starting the car. I'm also not sure who the "they" is, but many ignition keys are built into the alarm remote. The alarm remote is always with the key, so there's no real way to separate them.

Here's my review of my Neorest. Her name is 'Dorothy'. This is from a female's point of view. I pulled this from another thread, so if you've seen it, just skip it. *** Dorothy has become my girlfriend. She always says 'Hi' when I walk past her by lifting her lid, almost in a servant kind of way. But I'm into equality so I always say 'Hi Dorothy and thanks but I don't need to go right now." Sometimes I'm just vacuuming or something. Then I may say, "Do you want me to disable your auto and let you sleep or do you just need the company right now?" I say that because sometimes she just seems to be lonely and wants some interaction, so on those times I just let her be part of us/me. If she is no bother, why silence her? :+) She is totally whispered and I love her so much. I wish *everyone* had a girlfriend like Dorothy. We're still working out the dryer issue. I'm not that patient in that department but I'm still open to it. I don't think there will be any future crises or counseling services needed because we have a strong mutual respect for each other and that weakness in me doesn't appear to bother her at all. She can save on that effort and put all toward communication regarding other things. She swallows very well but I've yet to even mention that difference between her and my sucky toilet downstairs, who needs a plunger. Our relationship is so new. I'm still hesitant to tell her there's even another toilet in the house. :+)

is coco bidet 9500r as good as toto washlet s300?

janesylvia: "I know TOTO washlet S300 is good. But it's $900, kind of expensive. I don't know if the COCO bidet 9500R (about $450)is as good." Janesylvia, the very fact that we cannot offer an opinion as to the Coco Bidet may be the point of our "opinion" of alternatives to the Toto model. We travel back and forth to Japan several times a year -- and as you know Japan is where the advanced toilet seat technology was invented and is constantly being improved upon. We have seen and "tried" many different models of advanced toilet seats when in Japan (where I happen to be while typing this), but every single one of them was either a Toto model or an Inax model. We have seen other brands, less expensive, of advanced toilet seats for sale in discount stores, but never have we seen any advanced toilet seat that was not either an Inax or a Toto in any public facility or in a home. Inax and Toto completely dominate the Japanese market, which is the most sophisticated market in the world for this specific genre of product. As a matter of personal preference, we prefer the two-wand design of the Inax line -- which allows the posterior cleaning wand and the feminine cleaning wand each to be positioned for the respective optimal angles of incidence of the spray -- to the one-wand design of the Toto models, but that may not be as important to you as it is to us. To underscore the latter, for our own home in the Unted States, we purchased an Inax (the Clessence model that does not have a remote control) for a price about half that of the Toto S300. We are happy with our Inax, and we do not experience the initial "cold moment" that crops up as an issue in the (very positive) Amazon.com reviews of the Coco to you which you linked.

Toto Washlet vs BioBidet vs Brondell Swash
Q
Comments (40)
jimrin: "I'm thinking of getting the Inax Clessence CW-H230-RW (for round toilet seat), which has the control panel attached to the side of the seat, for my mom. However, I cannot find any documentation which says that the spray can be oscillating (automatic movement of the position of the spray back and forth). Does their bidet support that?" The Inax Clessence does not have an oscillation feature. I do not know whether the R-series or L-series Inax seats have that option. The specific model of the two Toto Washlets that are installed in our sister and bother-in-law's home in Kamakura does have that feature, and, being the curious type, I have given it a couple of test drives. Not a feature that I would use even if we had it on ours at home. To be fair, the trial was not apple-to-apples or oranges-to-oranges, because the angle of incidence of the spray from their one-wand Toto Washlet is much closer to horizontal, and the angle of incidence of the spray from our two-wand Inax Clessence is much closer to vertical, than the other. Perhaps I would have liked the oscillating spray more if it were incorporated in a more vertical spray; it is difficult to speculate.

Just seems so wrong to have a remote control in the bathroom

Last year I put this item in my daughter's Christmas stocking, and all my kids were nuts about it. My older daughter bought one for herself and her husband ... plus one for him to keep beside his desk at work. My youngest daughter wants a second one to take to her dorm room next fall.

I'm showing the one that fits a small, standard phone, but they come in larger sizes too -- even sizes that fit Tablets -- and I think the larger sizes would work for the bathroom remotes.

My remote for our Brondell is on the wall. Snaps into the cradle with a magnet. Very sleek. Mrs Pete, the photo function on Houzz has been down for DAYS and I don’t think they mean to fix it. Many complaints have been made.

I have 2 advanced toilet seats. Both controllers are mounted on the vanity or wall, next to the toilet. I never take the thing out of its cradle. I used command strips to mount it to my nice vanity or wall. I did not drill holes. The cradle might come with some sort of sticky mount. I did go with 3M strips instead, because they are safe for paint. I one bathroom, I had it mounted on the wall and could easily move the location.

Don't have the controller loose on a shelf. It will get dropped.

Most definitely YES to having TP. You will want a small portion to dry yourself after the wash. The dryer is too long and not very effective. It can also be too hot.

I have genie bidets at home and put Toto washlets in my lake house for a touch of hotel luxury. Only now that I have them do I realize that I hate having a remote. I don’t have anywhere I can put it so I had to buy a toilet paper stand with a tray on it. Now the bathrooms are cluttered with trays and remotes. I want to swap the bidets out for ones like I have at home with the manual switch on the side.
