Narrow Down Your Choice in 30 secs!
As of this writing Bio Bidet offers a dozen bidet seat models. Narrow down your choice very quickly and make your research easier by answering some simple questions.

The Bio Bidet BB-2000 (also known as Bliss BB-2000) is one of the best products of its kind on the market right now. Fortunately, it’s also far from the most expensive. For a mid-priced unit, it would be hard to find a better value.
Everything you need to install and use is in the box. Even the seat itself is there, since this is a full bidet seat and not merely an attachment. And to say there are ‘tools required’ is almost an exaggeration. A wrench might help if you need to tighten the hose nuts a little extra hard, but that would be it.
Along with the seat itself, which has all the electronics and plumbing used during operation, there are several unusual extras included. Two small but telling examples are the fat, cone-like rubber washers used underneath the superbly designed ‘wingnuts’ used to tighten down the unit onto your toilet. Even the AA batteries needed for the hand-held remote control are included!
Installation
I’ve installed so many bidets now I’ve lost count. Out of dozens, the BB-2000 stands out for ease of installation. I’m normally pretty harsh in this category, but I can’t think of any way to fault this model.
Someone with less experience or DIY facility with home products might need to spend a few minutes studying the installation guide. And, truth to tell, there are a couple of minor areas that require a bit of close looking at.
For example, the illustrations and written guidelines make it a little hard to tell at first which hose to connect where. That problem is readily overcome with a little thought and testing. Bio Bidet could improve here by specifying the purpose / location of the white plastic-wrapped hose versus the metal mesh one. The white one connects to the bidet seat. But that’s about the most serious criticism I could level, and it’s pretty minor, really.

- A = Metal mesh hose used to connect bathroom water valve to T-valve bottom (“G”).
- B = White vinyl hose used to connect T-valve (“G”) to bidet seat water inlet.
- C = Plastic catch plate attaches to toilet, used to secure bidet seat which slides on.
- D = Slips into grooves in catch plate (“C”) to secure plate to toilet, to provide solid base for “F” bolts.
- E = Elbow used with “B” (as part of water flow); fits between seat and white vinyl hose.
- F = Hand-tightening bolts (fit underneath toilet bowl) used to secure bidet seat to toilet.
- G = T-valve, fits between bathroom water valve and white vinyl hose (“B”).
- H = not used during my installation. This is an adapter nut for those with different-sized water valve outlet.
My installation went smoothly and took only about 30 minutes of actual work time. I spent extra time photographing, studying the installation guide, and triple-checking connections that others wouldn’t need to spend.
A quick removal of the existing seat was followed by a short process of laying down the metal guide to which the bidet seat itself attaches. Yup, pause and note that: a metal guide in which the securing plastic bolts are inserted. This product is intended to last and stay in place for a long, long time. The heads on the plastic bolts are also very thoughtfully designed. They’re rectangular and fit snugly inside the metal guide. You don’t even have to use a screwdriver above while hand tightening the wingnuts from below.
If your bathroom’s space around the toilet is a little tight you could remove the existing seat then install the required mesh hose and T-valve, then proceed to the new (bidet) seat. Either way, be sure to use lots of plumbers’ tape at every join where a hose nut meets a threaded piece – even if the installations don’t call for it.
Being the ultra-cautious type, I used far more tape and far more care than might be needed. But I was rewarded with a leak-free installation on the first attempt. Still as a precaution, be sure to lay down towels and/or pans to catch any drops. And, after you re-open the water valve, make sure to run your fingers all around all the places the hoses and valves join. Drips are the worst!
One more note here. My bathroom required an extra GFCI outlet installed near the toilet. It was a simple job for the professional electrician I hired but it can be expensive. Be sure to include this task in your budget, if it’s needed.
My Experience
This part of the process was sheer pleasure from beginning to end. Rarely have I liked a bidet so much right from the start. In other models I’ve always found a number of compromised design aspects, things I’d have liked done differently. Not this time. Bio Bidet is way ahead of me here.
The first and most obvious element to test was the slow-closing seat and seat cover. Both worked like a charm. But be warned: you might have to adjust your muscle memory a little bit.
The seat “nestles” inside the seat cover more than your standard pair. So, you can either use two hands to lift the seat and cover, or train your fingers to do both with one hand. Just separate your fingers a little more than you’re used to doing. Then, all is well. Each component is very sturdy and you don’t have to worry about damaging anything.
Closing is done in reverse. Try using one hand to start lowering the seat, followed by the cover, or flip the seat down with two fingers and the cover with another two. By either technique you’ll get a slow, slam-free closing that needs practically no force whatever. What a relief!
The next element tested – whether you know it or not – is the seat sensor. The BB-2000 has a tiny mechanism installed inside the left front lower support that detects whether anyone is sitting down onto the seat. No occupant, no spray. A great little precautionary design feature. Thank you, Bio Bidet.
There is one partial exception. The unit has a wand cleaning method and mechanism that will allow water to flow when the seat is not in use. But the nozzle will not spray upwards.
From here, you can test / use various features at your leisure. I took the route of trying to emulate how an average user would operate the bidet in practice.
Spray – I used the remote to initiate a spray from the (center) posterior wash nozzle. Without even reading the guide, a simple press on the remote control button that resembles a little fountain did the trick. Much to my surprise the aim, temperature, and pressure were perfect “right out of the box”.
The only complaint I have, and it’s a very minor one, is that when you press any of the spray buttons the water takes about 8 seconds to actually begin spurting. That’s not a long time but it’s a littler longer than I’d have expected or would prefer. Part of that time is “wand preparation” so the delay is nearly inevitable. The wand sort of “pre-rinses” itself to get things working perfectly.
Pressure Adjustment – You can adjust the pressure with ease right from the same device. The pressure changes in five step-wise increments from very light to substantial. I used them all and found the middle range right for me. Of course, that will vary from person to person and even one circumstance to another. Some days you need a little extra help.
Water Temperature – Likewise, you can adjust the temperature using the remote. Where I live, most of the year the water temperature in the pipes is quite moderate. No heating required.
Nonetheless, I tested the “instant heat” feature. Naturally, that phrase is a bit of a marketing exaggeration. Even so, it took only literally a couple of seconds to feel that the water had warmed, and after fewer than five it was fully warmed. At 1300 watts, there’s plenty of power onboard to make that all-too-common “bidet water cold shock” practically non-existent on this model.
The temperature range can be adjusted from a low of “Green” (one light on the LCD display) to a mid-level of “Orange” (two lights) to “Red” (three lights). All three are still well within comfort range for anyone.
The actual temperature range is listed from 37F to 104F. Naturally, the lower range is stated to include pretty cold water from your home’s supply. In my climate that would be rare, even in winter. Your number can, of course, differ. The higher range is still fine for nearly any individual, since it’s modestly above the average internal body temp.
Seat Temperature – Also, you can adjust the seat temperature, and it’s just as simple. I haven’t had to increase it yet, but when I tested it the seat got nice and toasty without burning. A handy thing for those cold winter mornings.
The range starts at the low of room temp, naturally. The high isn’t stated, but feels roughly the same as the water temp reading. Quite nice, in any case.
Turbo – There’s a third nozzle that I tested next: Turbo. The function goes by various names: vortex, turbo, oscillating, pulsating. These are actually different features but several feel much the same. Oscillation moves the spray back and forth slightly for a wider coverage. Pulsating does what the term says: varies the pressure.
Either of those can have a drawback; it typically requires a bit of extra time to air dry or more toilet paper to pat dry. But they’re welcome features for when you want to use them. They can help provide extra cleaning; it certainly provides a pleasant variation.
Feminine Spray – My wife tested the feminine spray function and reports that it operates superbly, with a couple of very minor caveats.
She’s very small, so the angle was not (initially) perfect. A few, small bottom adjustments on the sturdy seat brought the spray to the exact right area. Temperature and pressure required no adjustments, but this review was done in late summer. In the winter, it might well be necessary to increase the water temp slightly for optimal comfort.
As a next test, she made a couple of light taps on the “Forward”/”Backward” buttons on the remote. Whether for posterior cleaning or feminine wash, these let you move the spray wand to suit your personal size and location preference(s). After that, no wiggling at all was required to get the jet right where she wanted it.
Warm Air Dryer / Deodorizer – I’m glad a warm air dryer is included but to be honest I don’t use it often. Those in colder climates will make more use of it.
The temperature is comfortable right out of the box, and the flow is fully adequate – if you’re willing to wait long enough. Here again, whether performing posterior cleaning or attending to feminine hygiene, you’d have to sit for a couple of minutes at least to get everything completely dry.
That’s pretty much standard commentary for all but the highest-priced bidet seats. The drying mechanism isn’t really intended to be the equal of a Dyson Air Dryer for your hands, as you might find in an upscale restaurant’s bathroom. If you’re not in a hurry, though, the dryer here will get the job done.
Beware, though; if used alone it can produce an unpleasant side effect. It’s never too warm, but it can blow foul air up into the room. When you turn it on, be sure to activate the deodorizer at the same time.
Thankfully, that latter feature works a lot better than I expected it would. It comes on instantly and clears the air in a very few seconds.
Remote Control – One moderately important reason I opted for the BB-2000 for my own home was the excellent seeming remote control, when considering this model. “Seeming” more than lived up to my expectations. It’s lightweight, and Goldilocks-sized. Even my wife’s tiny hand has no trouble operating it one-handed.
All the features you want are shown in sensible-looking icons: regular spray, feminine wash, stop, heater, deodorizer, and other features.
Side/Top Panels – One of the most obvious, but little used, features, is the side panel. It’s obvious in part because it’s illuminated. In the dark it glows a pleasing blue color, and it’s fairly bright so it operates also as a night light. It can be turned off, if you wish.
Less obvious, but still easy to spot, are the buttons lit up by the light. They consist of a standard spray, a feminine spray, and a stop button. Rarely needed, but a handy thing when you don’t want to use the remote or, more likely, its batteries need changing.
Finally, there’s a small, rounded panel at the rear left, on the top. It houses a red plastic cover over a couple of helpful lights. Much smaller and weaker than the blue “night light”, these tiny red lights are still easy to see, even in regular bathroom lighting. The power light is generally always lit, since you’ll typically keep the bidet plugged in and on. It draws a negligible amount of electricity when it’s on standby, chiefly because the BB-2000 is a “heat water on the fly”-type powered bidet.
Summary
The Bio Bidet BB-2000 is a superbly functioning bidet seat, and gets extra points for being relatively inexpensive, emphasis on the “relative” here. True, it’s near the higher end of mid-range seats on price. But given the excellent design, features, and operation it’s really something of a bargain. Most features are adjustable to suit your personal preferences and circumstances, using a simple-to-operate remote control.
Bio Bidet also sells nearly the same bidet seat for about $20-$50 less (depending on vendor) – the BB-1700. Simply put: the BB-1700 = the BB-2000 – remote control. The side-attached control panel of the BB-1700 will appeal to some. For others, the slight premium for the BB-2000 is well worth it. Just decide which suits you best, then go for it!
Highly recommended for those willing to spend more to get a whole lot better bidet than average.
Thank you for your thorough review. I am totally new to the toilet bidet world and have a few questions. From a “green” standpoint it does not seem that one would be doing much savings financially! The seat stays on 24/7 and is drawing amps.Final drying requires some TP and water usage is increased?
It seems that many other countries commonly use Toilet bidet seats. Are there Japanese made brands, other then Toto that have a good track records and are in the mid range price point? Or other countries that sell their seats in the US. So far I am not coming up with any?
The BB-2000 does have the features I am looking for. My concern though is how long does this critter last? As a DIY I would like to think that after the 3 year warranty that I could buy parts for it and repair on my own. Bio Bidet does not sell parts that may fail to the consumer. Or does it make sense to spend even more money for their six year warranty? But likely after six years the unit may then fail and require an expensive repair! What is your experience with how long this seat might last?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Earl,
Thanks for your comment!
Here’s an interesting statistic. In 2018, the country’s average household expenditure on cleansing and toilet tissue, paper towels and napkins amounted to $122.26. Toilet paper costs can of course vary a lot from place to place. So will electricity costs, even more so since rates vary widely from state to state.
That said, I can assure you my BB-2000 consumes nowhere near $120 in electricity per year. Our rates are around 9 cents per kwh (kilowatt-hour) and I measure my usage very carefully on a regular basis, so I know its cost. Or, rather, I would if I could even measure its tiny percentage of the total.
About 65% of our monthly cost for 9 months per year is from air conditioning in the summer or heating in the winter. I know that because there are three months out of the year when we don’t need to use either cooling nor heating in our climate.
The refrigerator is almost all of the rest. Even the washer and dryer don’t cause our daily usage to go up more than 10% of the total for a day when we use them. Everything else combined is negligible: TV and computers, bidet, etc.
Whether the bidet consumes considerable water, the answer is: no. My water bill has seen no measurable change before or after installing the bidet. I measure that on a regular basis, too.
I don’t know what the Mean-time-between-failure (MTBF) is for the device and I haven’t had mine long enough to judge how long it will last. And, anyway, it would only be one data point: my bidet. Mine works perfectly (or as perfectly as it did new) after however long it is that I’ve owned it.
I’m not aware of other Japanese manufacturers other than TOTO selling their bidets in the United States. My advice is to stick to the main brands like Bio Bidet, Brondell, TOTO,… They all sell excellent units.
Gerald Hi –
I am doing some computer clean up and am just now noticing you reply! Thank you very much for this. I thought your reply would have come into my e-mail but this does not seem to be the case?
As I have continued to read BB-2000 reviews a couple of more questions. Do you think it is necessary to spend additional money on a 6 year extended warranty?
Some reviewers have criticized the BB-2000’s seat as being very cheap. One person said the seat actually lifts up when he stands from it?
If you did not buy a BB-2000 is there a seat that is comparable or better in this sale price range? Recommendations for where to buy a bidet seat?
Thanx again
Earl
Hi Earl,
As to the value of a 6-year warranty, that depends on personal budget, cost of the warranty, and – most importantly – the durability of the bidet seat, which I’m not able to guess. As I said in my previous reply, I haven’t had mine long enough to know (purchase date: August 2018), and I don’t know how long bidet seats tend to last.
As to the quality of the seat, well views will vary depending on personal expectations. It’s never happened to me. Mine is perfectly sturdy, but I’m not a heavy person, nor do I sit down especially hard. But, as previously mentioned, it’s only one data point: my bidet. It still works perfectly or as perfectly as it did new.
I don’t have a lot of other recommendations other than the seats I’ve tested and tried for our second bathroom. I tested the TOTO C200 but returned it. You can read here why. Finally tried the Swash 1400 from Brondell and decided to keep the unit. Just like the BB-2000 it’s a superb bidet seat and in about the same price range as the BB-2000.
My Mom is showing signs of dementia/alzheimers so I’m looking for a bidet seat with remote that has memory for preferred settings. Is it available on the BB-2000?
I have to make this as simple as possible for her and the last thing I want is her getting frustrated.
Hi Kathy,
The BB-2000 does not come with preferred user settings. I advise you to look into the Brondell Swash 1400 unit which we installed in our other bathroom. This seat has 2 personal user settings which allow you to store preferred water pressure and temperature, spray width, nozzle position and oscillation. See page 23 in the manual to get an idea about how this setting works on this seat.
Hope this helps.
Gerald Hi again !
I was pretty set on moving forward with getting the BB-2000. The reluctance though comes due to the lid not being sitable and not being sure that the hybrid heating system is preferred over on demand ?
Are you familiar with the Alpha JX seat ? It has a suitable lid and an on demand system .
With the on demand is there a startling wake up call with initially getting blasted with cold water ? It seems that most of the more expensive seats have on demand systems. I wonder why this is ?
Do you prefer your Brondell1400 over the BB-2000 ?
We wish we could try a bidet seat before making a purchase . This is proving to be a tough research project !
Thank you
Earl
Gerald,
I’ve researched seat bidets for a considerable time, first looking at some unheated water models. I live in the NW and realized that unheated water wouldn’t be a good option for me from fall to early spring. I opted to consider only heated models and almost pulled the trigger on a couple of different manufacturers then I read your article on the bioBidet which convinced me that the BB-2000 was my target product. Your evaluation accompanied by installation photos sealed the deal for me. To be honest, the price tag was 6x’s of what I originally expected to spend, then I did a lot of reading and got educated on seat bidets.
I made all the connections using teflon tape as you suggested and when I turned on the water, no leaks! And now for the big $$ bite of getting 15A power to the unit which was no easy task let me tell you. Suffice to say that powering it was a lot more than I ever expected to pay; it was more than the unit! I was too far into making this thing work to turn back so “damn the torpedos, full steam ahead”.
Today is 10/22/20 and the unit has been online for 24 hours and let me tell you, I’m very impressed. Everything is first class with this appliance including the manual and operating instructions. There are so many times when the consumer get’s duped in the very beginning with shoddy manuals written by those not familiar with the English language if you know what I mean.
I realize that I’m in the infancy stage of using the product but so far so good and I expect the same moving forward because of what I experienced in assembling the hardware, the seat and connecting lines which were all top notch including the manual.
Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad the review could help you in your buying process. Mine still works perfectly (or as perfectly as it did new) 🙂
Fantastic review. The BB-2000 seems to be a great fit in every regard, but I have seen in some specifications that the lid is not sittable. Has that been your experience? We do occasionally use the toilet lid as a seat, so I worry about losing that functionality if we install the BB-2000.
Hello Ian,
Please forgive the long delay in replying to your question. I blame the holidays!
For sure, I would not sit on the lid of my BB-2000. I’m very mid-level weight and I fear it would break the lid, even so. For some individuals it might be safe but I wouldn’t recommend it.
Thanks for the question. I’m sure others wondered the same!
