My journey:
I started with a TOTO tank-based model 10+ years ago, but the stored water caused irritation and itching, so I stopped using it. I moved to the TOTO K300 - no irritation thanks to instant heating and EWATER+, but the spray pressure was just okay. Then I tried the Ultranova - a premium unit with really strong pressure and an enema function, but a few things didn't work for me: the lid would open even if I was across the bathroom (and the washlet was in my separate toilet room), the seat few times started to close while I was still on it, and the remote felt less elegant than TOTO’s. Its a solid washlet, but less luxurious feel compared to Toto S7A.
Why the S7A wins:
• Comfort & hygiene: No irritation at all, and the spray pressure is definitely stronger than the K300 (Amazon reviews and Q&A saying they’re the same, were wrong).
• Cleansing power: You can create a thorough enema cleanse just by turning the pressure up — no extra modes needed.
• Design & feel: I chose the Classic style; it’s timeless and looks beautiful in my bathroom. The remote feels premium and intuitive. Overall, it’s a five-star hotel bathroom experience at home.
• Confidence: Reliable, well-built, and feels worth the investment every single time.
Buying from Premier Bidet:
Premier Bidet gave me the best price anywhere after lots of searching. When one of my S7As accidentally shipped in the Contemporary style instead of Classic, they fixed it quickly and painlessly. Their team is incredibly knowledgeable, answers questions fast (even via text), and you can reach the owner as well. Their small-business feel with expert-level knowledge made the experience stress-free
I loved the S7A so much I installed one in each bathroom. I’ve even found myself showing it off to guests - and they’re blown away by the luxury feel. Now I’m genuinely spoiled; when I visit places without a TOTO S7A, I'm a bit traumatized :-)
If you’re debating between mid-tier Toto models or other premium brands, this is the flagship experience. Worth the price, worth the upgrade, and a joy to own every day.
