One of the unique things about the TOTO S550e is the option to choose between two different trim styles so you can get the great features you need in the perfect design for your bathroom. Choose either the sleek and streamlined contemporary trim, or the elegant, classic trim with a beveled edge. While only available in one trim, the BB-1000 is made with an attractive modern design that is certain elevate any bathroom style. Additionally, both the BB-1000 and S550e can be purchased in a crisp white color, however, the S550e also is available in beige if you would prefer a off-white option.

 It’s important to note that while the TOTO S550e is only available for elongated toilets, the TOTO S350e comes equipped with exact same options as the S550e, but is made to accommodate round style toilets. The BB-1000 is a very versatile seat and is available for both round and elongated styles.

Auto Open Lid

For those who are looking for the latest in bidet seat technology, the S550e offers a futuristic, automatic opening lid. Impress your family and friends with the toilet lid that will open all on its own when approached. If you would prefer to control the lid via the remote control, this is also an option with the S550e.

Wash

Nozzle Design

The S550e comes equipped with a single, 2-in-1 nozzle that performs its font and rear washes. Alternatively the BB-1000 includes Bio Bidet’s patented 3-in-1 nozzle that also performs a powerful enema wash along with its front and rear wash. Both of these nozzles also facilitate soothing wash options like oscillation and pulse wash.

Waterflow

The water flow rate of a bidet seat gives a good indication of how strong of a water stream you will be getting. The higher the flow rate, the stronger the water stream will be. The S550e has a flow rate of 0.11 gallons per minute, while the BB-1000’s flow rate is nearly three times as high at 0.32 gallons per minute. In fact the BB-1000 has one of the most powerful water flow rates of any seat currently on the market. A high water flow rate can be very beneficial to those with incontinence, or if you are just looking to get clean and on your way a bit faster.

Enema Wash

The BB-1000’s  enema wash is a must have feature if someone in your household struggles with constipation. This special wash function shoots a powerful, circular stream of water into the rectum, which helps to loosen stool. The S550e does not have this feature.

Wide Spray

This is a nice wash feature to have if you could benefit from a little extra water coverage. Aside from working to get you clean a little faster, the wide spray is also a great feature for those who have issues with incontinence, since it helps to clean up accidental messes effectively. The TOTO S550e comes with this feature, while the BB-1000 does not.

Other Details

User Presets

User presets is a wonderful convenience feature if you will be regularly sharing your seat with your spouse or another household member. Through this function, the TOTO S550e allows you to pre-program your favorite settings into the remote so you don’t have to reconfigure your options with each use. With the S550ee, settings can be easily programmed for up to two users. The BB-1000 does not offer this feature, but will default to the settings that were last used.

LED Night Light

With the LED night light, those night time bathroom visits will become so much easier. The TOTO S550e includes an integrated LED light feature that lights up the bowl with a soft white glow. This is a much more preferable alternative to turning on a harsh light in the darkness, yet ensures visibility. Unfortunately, the BB-1000 does not include a built in night light.

Bowl Pre-misting

This is a state of the art feature unique to only TOTO units like the S550e WASHLET. This function coats the inside of your toilet bowl with a mist of water before each use, which prevents residue from sticking to the bowl. All in all, this keeps the toilet a little more sanitary, and helps to make cleaning easier.

Remote Controls

One of the great features that the BB-1000 offers is a very intuitive remote with larger than usual buttons. This remote is in a panel style, with easy to read and operate buttons that specifically work well for those with disabilities or dexterity issues. On the other hand, The S550e includes sleek, dual sided remote for programming. The front side of the remote shows a simple display of options, while the back side has a screen for choosing more advanced features. The remote for both the BB-1000 and as well as the S500e can be mounted to the wall for easy and convenient accessibility.

Warranty Information

When it comes to warranties, Bio Bidet really excels above the competition. For the BB-1000, Bio Bidet offers a full, 3 year standard warranty that can be extended to a generous 6 years. Alternatively, TOTO offers just a 1 year warranty for the S550e WASHLET.
