I've watched your video several times and it's helpful. However, I'm wondering about the correctness of your information about 10 minutes in when you talk about the settings on the back of the remote that look like 6o and 9o. My understanding from the manual is that you can put the unit into a sort of sleep mode for anywhere from 6 to 9 hours. Hence the numbers are not shown as 60 but 6o and if you choose the unit to sleep for 6 hours, the o is an LED light that shows you've chosen 6 hours. Let me know if this is incorrect since you obviously know your subject. Thanks.
You are absolutely right and I am absolutely wrong. (That's what I get for ad-libbing commentary 2 weeks after reading the manual.) Yes, it is 6 and 9 HOURS. Which means you can you can hit the 9 hours button, say, when you go to bed one night and it will power down that night and every night following for 9 hours. Only problem is you'll be greeted with a cold seat on those late-night loo visits! I'm going to pin your comment so others are not misled. Thanks.
I don't typically comment on TH-cam videos because I watch so many of them on the TV. But, I had to open up my mobile app to let you know what it tremendous job you did with this video. Just the exact right amount of information explained clearly and concisely. Thanks a bunch!
Fun fact, the remote from a 15 year old washlet also operates this new one-- so you don't have to reinstall a new remote (except for the updated features). Apparently the IR control signals have never changed.
I found the video both informative and enjoyable to watch. Made me smile. I know a lot more about the thing now that you have walked me through the functions in a clear and concise manner. Thank you.
Great video. At 2:28 though, when you talk about the bowl spray, which they call the Pre-Mist, it's just regular water not the "Ewater+". The Ewater+ is only for cleaning the wand; it's sprayed on the bowl only if you upgrade to at least the S300e, according to the official TOTO comparison chart
Thank you for this! I just ordered this model and am waiting for it. It was very generous of you to put this video together. Also, I appreciate your humor! :-)
Awesome video WardCo. Thank you very much. Just installed one on a new Toto toilet so learning the nuances was greatly helped by you with an in depth instructional. The booklet falls way too short. Also, the installation instructions left something to be desired. Kudos to you. Now on to the complainers. Whaa! Whaa! There are some black mineral deposits. That is what my turd gulpers look like depending on the well water. Very hard to get rid of without using a volcanic rock scrubber. Not supposed to do that nor use chlorox. I do use borax on occasion and the stain remain for some time. Eventually the problem helps solve itself only to reappear. So for the critics out there. Shut it!
Great explanation of the functions and settings. Only thing I would like to say is that the timer energy saver is 6 hours or 9 hours not minutes. So if you switched on at midnight for 6 hours it will be in energy saver mode until 6 am
Yeah, we had the power go out for a couple of days here in the mountains last week and we were completely horrified that we were reduced to sitting on a COLD seat! Oh the humanity!
Thank you for exptalking about the micro switches my remote batteries died mid strream so I leaned left and pushed my finger between the bowl and seafor about 6 seconds and t that turned off the stream.
THank you so much you just explained everything so clearly. Question- the lid on my washlet is no longer working in slow mode- can i fix it myself??? Toto wants me to send in the whole unit!!!!
My seat heater turns off automatically all the time and I am having to unplug the seat to turn everything on again. What am I doing wrong? Loved you video and thanks for all the great information!
Thanks, good video but no mention of adjusting the light, which I'm still trying to figure out. Maybe your unit doesn't have one. I will add that Toto has the worst manual of any appliance I've used in 50 years!
I have one of these… not sure if you have the answer to this… But I noticed when you leave it on the default settings the seat is always warm when you sit down. Is it bad to have that seat warmer running 24/7? I don’t mean cost-wise…. Is it going to break in a month because it’s constantly running warm?
Well, probably not in a month. It's not really all that much heat and I'm sure the plastic material is designed for it. How it holds up after 5 or 10 years is the real question. Does the long term effect of the heat degrade the plastic in any way? I don't know.
@@WardCo Thanks! Is yours always running and warm 24/7? Wasn't sure if people used the features to turn it on only when you sit on it etc? If that's even an option.
@@brianmonarchcomedy The "auto" thing finally figured out when we sleep after 10 days or so. So it's often cold when this old man trundles in there at 3 AM...
Very helpful video, thank you. We are considering a purchase very soon but I am curious as to the length of the power cord? Not a game changer but would be good to know 🙂. Thank you again for the very informative video.
Hello, I have a question please. Once you use a rear or front feature, does it stop automatically or do you have to press something else to stop it or to go on to another feature? Say for example, I use the feminine feature then want to dry. Do I have to manually stop the feminine water or does just pressing the dryer stop the water? Mahalo!!!
Not obviously. It's sealed in there pretty good. Looks like maybe the seat is made of 2 pieces -- a U-shaped top and flat bottom that are fused together, but can't be sure. So the best bet might be to get into the stationary bit where the seat attaches and just disconnect or bypass it -- but I have no idea how to even do THAT. (I can't remember if the bottom was accessible and I don't want to take the bidet of the toilet to look.)
It would be helpful to leave meter plugged in for several days to know average energy usage. I'm going to guess it's 45 watts for the seat plus 10 watts for the water tank, with all other functions being insignificant to contribute to average energy usage. It is quite expensive. Over the course of 6 years you will pay as much in electricity as for the product. I wish it was possible to have the seat heater only turn on when someone sits on the seat. In other words timed energy saving set to all the time. It seems you can only set to 6 or 9 hours.
You made me go look! :) No -- well, there is a very slight join where the edges meet the (continuous) bottom but the seam is too smooth and small to be a dirt catch. That said, there is some "splash back" evidence on my mine -- time for a good wipe.
Internet says try this: Press and hold the "Rear Wash" button for 5 seconds Release all buttons. Push the Power on/off button once to turn off the unit. Unplug the power cord and wait for about 10 seconds. Plug the power cord back in and turn the unit on.
I don't think so -- but maybe someone will correct me. The only UI toggle I can think of is turning the beep on or off. Of course, you can turn off many of the lights by disabling the corresponding feature, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the thing. I've been known to stick white vinyl tape over similar LEDs, though it might take 2 layers to completely kill the glow.
@@WardCo Hmmm.. Yes, when you get close to it, it beeps and turns on the deodorant, which also makes a bit of noise. I think I may just turn it off and turn it back on in the morning, so I don’t wake up my wife.

This is the best video explaining the function of the C5. Thank you!!!
This video was very helpful. Reading the manual isn't enough. This gave me the right amount I needed. Thank you
I completely LOVED this video, especially when you broke down the remote and how it works with the wand! LOL

Thank you so much for telling me how to turn off the heated seat during our 90f heatwave. Greatly appreciated!
Thank you for the detail and covering the electricity usage, very helpful.

Doh. Yes, of course, you are right.
Informative and humorous--a great combination. Thank you for this. Awaiting delivery of my C5 soon. Cheers.
Thanks for this, Ward! I just ordered a C5 for myself. Can't wait to get it installed!

Double check the 2 energy savings modes are off...
Very helpful, thanks.
Just bought one in Australia. $2k yes you heard it right 2k. And the best 2k I have ever spent.
Thank you for this informative video. There is not much useful information in the manual

I've had mine for years and the seat is warm 24/7. That's one of the features don't be afraid to use it. Toto is built to be used
Very helpful video, thank you. We are considering a purchase very soon but I am curious as to the length of the power cord? Not a game changer but would be good to know 🙂. Thank you again for the very informative video.
It's a little longer than 3.5 feet -- but I'd use 3.5 feet when measuring to leave some extra for the twists out of the bidet and into the receptacle.

You can jump from feature to feature without pressing stop first.
Does the water from the wand turn off automatically or do you need to push off when finished?
If you stand off (thus opening the micro switch in the seat) the water stops and wand retracts.
Great video! Is there a way to get at/turn off/move the pressure sensor on the right side of the seat?
Not obviously. It's sealed in there pretty good. Looks like maybe the seat is made of 2 pieces -- a U-shaped top and flat bottom that are fused together, but can't be sure.

It's a little longer than 3.5 feet -- but I'd use 3.5 feet when measuring to leave some extra for the twists out of the bidet and into the receptacle.
This is $2000 in Australia. Does anyone in the US have the manual and can see if it will run on 220v or is it just 110v?
Looks like no. The spec table in the back of the manual lists the "Rated power supply" as 120V @ 60hz.
@@WardComuch appreciated thank you sir
It’s huge
Now figure out how to add the auto flush without having to use a special toilet.
please clean your toilet before using it in a video. good info otherwise.
Are you talking about the the black water stains near the top of the rim?
Calcium dude. Man up
For real thats crazy lol
I notice its pretty dirty
It's a real-life toilet. Thanks for your time making a video.
