What is the Bidet-Toilet Combo?

A bidet toilet combo is a must for your bathroom remodel. It is especially beneficial in an aging-in-place remodel scenario. However, that said, you don’t have to wait for a remodel to benefit from this technology.

These combos mainly come in two basic formats:

1. The full-on “Smart Toilet”
2. The add-on bidet-toilet seat

Elsewhere on this site, we delve into the history, convenience, and health benefits of the bidet. But in this post, we get more into actual examples of this technology as available on Amazon.

Important note: New bidet-toilet combos are being created constantly. Also, Amazon’s catalog is constantly changing. So be sure that the one you pick will fit your particular situation (including toilet size and plumbing/electrical setup). 

Bidet-Toilet Bells and Whistles

The modern bidet is not limited to the simple cold water wash function. Depending on the model (whether it is a bidet-toilet seat add-on or a fully integrated unit), it can include these comfort and spa-like convenience features. Here are some things to look out for:

• Warm water with adjustable temperature and adjustable pressure (some units have a water reservoir tank, others have a heating coil)
• Comfort-height toilet versions
• Warm air dryer
• Heated seat with adjustable temperature
• A variety of wash nozzle features (oscillating, massaging, and even enema wash)
• Attached control panel or remote control (with wall mounting)
• Night light
• Built-in air deodorizer

Note: some of these functions require a nearby electrical outlet.

The Bidet-Toilet Combo Takeaway

Whenever we talk about home improvements, we always ask whether what we are doing adds value to our property. So do bidets add value to real estate?

So far the answer is “not really”. This is because the bidet itself is still relatively unknown and underappreciated as standard bathroom equipment. But this will change for the reasons we have outlined above.

So, if you have the opportunity to add a bidet as part of a remodeling project, you should do it for its future real estate value. There will come a time when people will expect to find a bidet when house hunting.

Regardless of the real estate issue, the bidet is a beneficial lifestyle addition. So just get and enjoy it for all of the reasons we have given on this site.
