Jane!! Love seeing your videos on TH-cam. You did amazing renovations at my Mom’s house in Montreal over 25 years ago. So happy to see that you are still following your passion.
I lived in Japan and once I got out of the Navy, I made sure to bring this experience back with me. For those of you who are interested but maybe don't want to buy a whole toilet, Look into Brondell or Toto Washlet's. They are essentially a toilet seat that has many of these features. I have owned 3. In my opinion, the Toto has more features that you might not need and the Brondell models were a bit better for my situation. Also, great content Jane! keep it up!
When I used a heated toilet when visiting Korea, in the hotel, I'd get up in the morning and sit on the can only to jump up like WHO HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY TOILET. But then, the next morning, when I sat down, it's actually remarkable what a nice warm seat will do for your.. relaxation..
Im a bidet convert, got it when my lady had our 2nd child. I got a cheap toilet seat mounted one that Tees into your waterline. The waters cold but it cleans well and you use less to and feel cleaner.
🥰Love seeing our HOROW T05 in your project! Your DIY expertise really showcases our smart toilet beautifully. Thanks for sharing your insights with us!!!
I see a new video, I click! That toilet seems nice. I hope America will catch up with the rest of the world regarding bidets. They're awesome. Leah's also awesome! Keep up the stellar work.
Thank you for saving the vintage bathroom! I hate seeing them being gutted...unless totally necessary. Would be great fun to do a fun vintage/retro wallpaper in...especially once you get a ventilation fan installed!
So glad you kept those beautiful tiles. Sometimes the color are not very nice but your are great. Thank you for the video. When they allow incinerator toilets I will be ready. My county doesn't allow them. I think they are the way to go in saving water. You can use the ash on your flower beds.😊
Leah, have always wondered about these smart toilets. You always come through with an easy to understand instructional video and pretty much answered my questions. Thank you for the work filming, editing and posting to help out those of us who are not plumbers, but can do with the right coach. Thanks a million and Happy Easter.
Glad to see new video's. For the price I will stick to the old fashion throne. Would love to see more plumbing and drywall videos and maybe more minor home repairs. Facia, gutters etc. Thanks your the best
WOW! I'd get it for the warm water bidet feature alone! That cold water shock takes some getting use to. I guess the only issue with this toilet is the need to run electric near the toilet. TFS!
Really enjoyed this. Very cool. We live in an apartment and my next lease is coming up. My plan is to demand an adult size toilet. We have the little round one. At 73, I need a bigger target. Lol.
Hey Leah, Too bad my Toto with Bidet seat is only 4 years old or I would have saved with this toilet and yours has more features. All the best. bless you. cheers
Hello, thanks for the video, it’s been helpful. I’m wondering where the 9 volt battery should go? I had a plumber install my T-03 and they didn’t use the 9 volt battery and my bidet function doesn’t work. I’m getting error code E5-A
Those toilets are awesome; I still want to install one at home (my wife keeps pestering me for one) I first came across these when I spent some time in Japan for work, and since the control box only had Japanese captions on it, it certainly was an adventure finding out what all the buttons did. 😁
Awesome video as always. Quick question: So the valve tucks into the compartment that's cut out at the back of the toilet? I was concerned that I would have to relocate the water supply pipe in order to make a smart toilet like this fit in my bathroom.
I really hope it's that's simple...i want one but my house was built in the 70's and all the articles on smart toilets say plumbing has to be redone in order to have enough pressure for the flush. Does this have a manual override flush in case of power outage?
Excellent teacher! Love your videos! I like the idea of tankless. Don’t understand why a full tank needs to just sit there 247. Is there a video on how to take a bowl out?
Ms Lear I need help with my tankless smart toilet I just install last month it work good and now it won’t flush every time I press flush there water I mean plenty of water but the vacuum won’t suck it away thank you
OMG this is exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to plan the install of my T05 but I am on a concrete floor too. Did you just use the nylon sleeves that came with the toilet?
Lea it looks cool I like it is it just me and my eyes or does it sit low also I like the heated seat idea and the light for at night I live with my 85 y/o mom who I help take care of the light would really come in handy for her at night for right now I keep a led night light plugged in for her also a a/c outlet would have to be near the toilet which in my case is not and that cord looks short I also like the idea of no toilet tank less parts to deal with
My contractor installed with your video. But left the emergency battery out. How do you put or replace the battery since there’s hardly any space to remove the bracket?
I kinda wish that toilets like these could operate off of just 1 water supply line, but this is probably to isolate the heated water from the flush water. Also requires an electrical outlet (hopefully GFCI protected), and we only have one of those in the main bathroom, the other one doesn't! Yeah, I so want to re-do the plumbing and electrical, but I can't afford to do that right now...
Well, see, I'm talking about the whole house. I don't think the wiring has changed since 1960, and there's no actual earth ground in any of the outlets. And the breakers aren't labeled, so I'd have to go and figure out which outlets go to which circuit breaker. I'm sure I can do it over a weekend with the proper tools and big spool of Romex...
I assume this toilet clogs easily. I have never met a toilet I couldn’t clog. All the drain diameters are too small and they don’t have a powerful enough flush. I need one of the large commercial toilets.
That’s an interesting option, I wonder how many people have used a bidet. Nice to see your fresh ideas introduced into this house build. I used some more of your Mechanic in a bottle (old Leah video) and the machine runs way better now. The tile in that bathroom is in great shape, that house looks like it was well taken care of. Was it built in the late 50’s?
Horow recommends 12" from finish drywall to center of drain, I only have 11-1/2" (baseboard is flush with drywall). Trying to get an idea if this toilet will still fit, I'm OK with it being a little tight to the wall. Do you know how far your center of drain was from the drywall and how much space there is between the back of the toilet and the wall? Great video by the way.
I installed 2 toilet. One was exactly 12 in. from wall to the center of the drain and I have room to insert my hand behind the fixture. The second toilet I installed was 11 inches from wall to center of the drain, it fit but there is no space between the toilet and wall. Hope this helps.
You should be the host of This Old House! I am having a new toilet installed on April Fools day. I might be a fool for not installing one of these. 6:22 No. I can't do this but help is on the way. I'm old. Lol
That toilet is very cool, but is a bit much for my mobile home bathroom. No electric outlet nearby and it's just too big. I am installing a simple bidet as soon as the weather gets warmer. I don't want to mess with my outside water shutoff in the freezing cold.
There is a sale 20% off coupon in the video description. Also, I plan to make a video on how to install an outlet near the toilet. I installed an outlet in mine in 15 minutes.
Lets see it in 5 years!! My friends buttons etc were a problem due to water, chemical cleaners etc. These have not gone through the trial of time and practicality.
"What are your thoughts of the T05 Smart Toilet?"
Interesting, but not many US homes have an outlet in the bathroom near the toilet.
I had to run one myself. Maybe I should do a video showing how to install an outlet near the toilet.
@@seejanedrillI see you did a surface mount outlet tapping into the existing duplex next to the mirror..
Exactly, I didn't want to damage the tile.
@@seejanedrill No problem,it looks neat and tidy.
Lady you are so easy going, a great instructor, and a knowledgeable professional. Once again thank you for sharing.
My pleasure

Those bidet seats are great for renters who are unable to swap out the entire toilet.
Love that vintage tile; you did the right thing by keeping it. That is a killer unit!
LOVE LOVE this video!!! Not sure how I lived without my bidet and robot vacuum up until 5 years ago... best thing they ever invented for sure!!!
I agree
Robot vacuums work?! My cats need one!
i can't convince my roommate to invest in one, he says it is a girly thing!! disappointing
@@bmiles4131 YES!!! I have 2 hairy dogs and one could eat off the floor only because of robot vac, not me!!
I want to hire you!
Thank you so much for providing this video!!! I have no doubt that you can repair or replace Anything in a house!!!❤
You bet!
I'm glad you kept the tile it's beautiful. Keep the curtains and shower curtain a simple white and let the tile be the star:)
When I used a heated toilet when visiting Korea, in the hotel, I'd get up in the morning and sit on the can only to jump up like WHO HAS BEEN SITTING ON MY TOILET. But then, the next morning, when I sat down, it's actually remarkable what a nice warm seat will do for your.. relaxation..
A light in my toilet? This is 'Jetson-level' technology, Leah😂. Thanks for once again showing us the coolest/easiest way to do it right!
You bet!
Definitely a throne. Very different.
Very nice! I'd like a toilet that cleans itself. You did a great job, Leah. I like that bathroom.
It does that too
Im a bidet convert, got it when my lady had our 2nd child. I got a cheap toilet seat mounted one that Tees into your waterline. The waters cold but it cleans well and you use less to and feel cleaner.
Do you recall what model yiu have?
I got one and it broke in less then a year. Don’t want to waste $ by getting another dud.
Very informative and detailed on install - Only problem I have is plugging it in to power, receptacle too far away.
I did have to run a new outlet near the toilet.....I think I'm going to make a video demonstrating just that
🥰Love seeing our HOROW T05 in your project! Your DIY expertise really showcases our smart toilet beautifully. Thanks for sharing your insights with us!!!
Our pleasure!
Every woman deserves a warm throne 🤣🤣
Very nice, Leah. I'm still trying to figure out how to replace the handle on my convex toilet tank!!
What a comforting instructional video! Your soothing voice makes this video very enjoyable.
I see a new video, I click! That toilet seems nice. I hope America will catch up with the rest of the world regarding bidets. They're awesome. Leah's also awesome! Keep up the stellar work.
Thank you
Leah, you are one amazing woman! Thank you for always giving us info on all the new do-dads as well as going over the basics when needed!
Thank you for saving the vintage bathroom! I hate seeing them being gutted...unless totally necessary. Would be great fun to do a fun vintage/retro wallpaper in...especially once you get a ventilation fan installed!
That’s fantastic! I have heard how much TP we could save if we had a bidet. I’m going to order two of these!
So glad you kept those beautiful tiles. Sometimes the color are not very nice but your are great. Thank you for the video. When they allow incinerator toilets I will be ready. My county doesn't allow them. I think they are the way to go in saving water. You can use the ash on your flower beds.😊
Always a treat when you show up in my feed!
Glad to hear it!

What a cool looking toilet. Really nice install too. Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed watching this one.

Hey Leah, Too bad my Toto with Bidet seat is only 4 years old or I would have saved with this toilet and yours has more features. All the best. bless you. cheers
I like the idea,
Thanks Leah, you're the best in renovation I believe.
Thanks for these videos you put out.

Thank you so much 😀
A heated seat is great in the winter
Can I tell you...it's great any time
Those toilets are awesome; I still want to install one at home (my wife keeps pestering me for one)
I first came across these when I spent some time in Japan for work, and since the control box only had Japanese captions on it, it certainly was an adventure finding out what all the buttons did.
😁
You know what they say,"happy wife happy life"
Thank you Leah. That’s a cool toilet with a pretty price tag!!!
I love it!
Awesome video as always. Quick question: So the valve tucks into the compartment that's cut out at the back of the toilet? I was concerned that I would have to relocate the water supply pipe in order to make a smart toilet like this fit in my bathroom.
Your tutorials are always timely. I was recently wondering about this very subject matter. Thanx. ❤
I really hope it's that's simple...i want one but my house was built in the 70's and all the articles on smart toilets say plumbing has to be redone in order to have enough pressure for the flush.
Does this have a manual override flush in case of power outage?

I'm not certain I understand your question

I really like the vintage bathroom!
Me too! I'm glad I saved one.
Nice toilet. Should you sit on it to make sure the wax ring is fully seated before screwing the toilet to the brackets?
Yes, however the weight of the toilet helped to compress the wax ring
You are so awesome. I want a toilet like that now. Especially for the heated seat, hahah. LOVE your channel!
This toilet has spoiled me
I Love your Enthusiasm! Keep doing it!
Thank you! Will do!
Super fun! I’ve never been prouder to be named John!
😊
Hi Leah,
How high off the floor and how close to the toilet should the a/c outlet ideally be?
TY❤
Love my bidet, it was great during the pandemic when toilet paper was hard to find.
OMG this is exactly what I was looking for. I am trying to plan the install of my T05 but I am on a concrete floor too. Did you just use the nylon sleeves that came with the toilet?
What happens during a power outage? Is flushing affected at all?
There is a backup battery
Electric toilet 🚽 . That could be an embarrassing way to check out. Luv the luxury . Would've never imagined these incredible times we live in.
Lea it looks cool I like it is it just me and my eyes or does it sit low also I like the heated seat idea and the light for at night I live with my 85 y/o mom who I help take care of the light would really come in handy for her at night for right now I keep a led night light plugged in for her also a a/c outlet would have to be near the toilet which in my case is not and that cord looks short I also like the idea of no toilet tank less parts to deal with
It doesn't sit low. Also I myself had to run an outlet to the toilet.
My favorite video that you have done!!
My contractor installed with your video. But left the emergency battery out. How do you put or replace the battery since there’s hardly any space to remove the bracket?
I think all three baths could be accessorized to be nice looking. Rugs, wall art and such can have a big effect.
I'm not that optimistic
@@seejanedrill To be fair, my ex said I'm a chronic optimist.
Congratulations on your 1M subscribers!!!!🎉🎉🎉. Love your videos!
Thank you so much!!
What if the toilet wobbles after installation? How tight are you supposed to tighten the side screws? I’m afraid I’ll crack the toilet
Thanks Leah ❤ Happy Easter 🐰

Yeah, I so want to re-do the plumbing and electrical, but I can't afford to do that right now...
I did the electrical myself in about 15 minutes. But supplies at big box stores are expensive.
Well, see, I'm talking about the whole house. I don't think the wiring has changed since 1960, and there's no actual earth ground in any of the outlets. And the breakers aren't labeled, so I'd have to go and figure out which outlets go to which circuit breaker. I'm sure I can do it over a weekend with the proper tools and big spool of Romex...
You have everyone on their thorns to watch your videos lol had to great video to show how to do things
I assume this toilet clogs easily. I have never met a toilet I couldn’t clog. All the drain diameters are too small and they don’t have a powerful enough flush.
I need one of the large commercial toilets.

It was built in the 50's
Bidets have actually taken off since the pandemic's toilet paper hoarding, lol
I'm not sure if I've ever seen a 3-prong power outlet in a bathroom before this video. Is that up to code? Great video.
Absolutely
Do you have to put grout around base of toilet after install? I appreciate how clear and easy you made this look-I might put one in my house now 🙏🏽
Code requires caulk but no grout
Thank you Leah for sharing this 😊
Let me ask you straight - is it possible to use this high technology device for main purpose?
You seem so cool, and your videos are the best!!!
Thank you so much!!
Horow recommends 12" from finish drywall to center of drain, I only have 11-1/2" (baseboard is flush with drywall).

@@seejanedrill That is really helpful thanks for the info!
That is a super commode! Very cool! 👍🏼👍🏼❤️

Maybe you could😊

Thank you Leah! Love the video
If there is no tank, is the flushing pressure/volume less than with a toilet that has a tank?
That's a good question.
I might just do it for both of my bathrooms because I hate the sweating tank.
is there a manual operation to flush it in case of a blackout?
Battery backup
All for ONLY $1049.00!!! On Amazon😮 plus cost of electrician installing the a.c. outlet.
There is a sale 20% off coupon in the video description. Also, I plan to make a video on how to install an outlet near the toilet. I installed an outlet in mine in 15 minutes.
Very nice indeed!
Which nonelectric bidet would you recommend? I want one that still works if the electricity goes out?
This one has a battery backup
Beautiful! Thank you!
Sweet!! Now how do I get an outlet that close to where the toilet will be?! 😕
I ran the new outlet...perhaps I'll make a video showing how
Great… thanks..!!🙏
Awesome job 🎉
Thank you! 😁
Talk about unintended consequences! I found the perfect solution for my pet wash. My cat will thank you too. Warm water and a blowdryer? Oh yeah lol
😊
What size drill bit?
Can you recommend someone to install
Does it help women who forget to put the lid down? ❤
😮😊
if a toilet aint broke dont fix it…do we really need smart toilet.? whats next smart shoelaces 🤣 i love jane!
I was of the same mindset until this toilet... it has spoiled me.
You are amazing!
Lets see it in 5 years!! My friends buttons etc were a problem due to water, chemical cleaners etc. These have not gone through the trial of time and practicality.
Cleaners are not recommended
This is good for men who always forget to put the seat down 😅
Living in Japan, most toilets were too smart for their own good, and I still haven't used most of the options because I'm scared 😅
Really
Can't go wrong with a Smart toilet while sitting on it using a Smart phone.
😊
I gave a thumbs up for the tutorial of the installation, BUT who has an electrical outlet next to their toilet???
I had to install one
Way Cool!
Thanks, SJD!
1000 points!❤
I gotta tell ya....I love this thing
So cool
The power cord is the only thing. Being hidden would be nice if possible. Cool potty though
Fancy schmancy, but I have arthritis. Its way too low. I'd never get down or back up with my knees. 😂
darling vintage bathroom
No need for a heated seat if you use a wood seat. Never cold, never slippery.
😊
You are great😊
