Detailed Comparison of the Bio Bidet BB-2000 Bliss and Galaxy GB-5000 Bidet Toilet Seats.

Equipped with various, cleansing wash options, the Galaxy GB-5000 and Bio Bidet BB-2000 are great options for adding comfort and convenience to your bathroom routine. In this article, we go through the specific details and differences between these bidet seats to help you choose the best option for your household.

Design

Both the BB-2000 and GB-5000 have sleek, modern and attractive designs that will look great in any bathroom. The GB-5000 is slightly more versatile since it is available for round and elongated style toilets, while the BB-2000 will only work for those with an elongated toilet. Although both these units are made in the color white, you also have the option purchase the BB-2000 in beige. In 2019 Bio Bidet discontinued the beige option for their seat BB-2000, but did start making it in the round style. Furthermore, you can choose between a white, beige and black remote with the BB-2000.

Sittable Lid

Depending on the design and configuration of your bathroom, as well as your personal needs, the sittable lid could be an absolute necessity for your bidet seat. Because mechanics and hardware are often stored in the back of the bidet, most seats on the market do not accommodate the weight of an adult. However, the Galaxy GB-5000 offers a sittable lid for added convenience, especially for those who have mobility related handicaps. If you have a household member that is disabled, requires assistance to bathe, and your bathroom setup requires you to sit upon the toilet lid, the sittable lid is a must have feature. Furthermore, The sittable lid can also be a nice option to have if you wish to sit upon it for simple tasks like painting or clipping toenails.

Wash

Nozzles

The BB-2000 comes equipped with Bio Bidet’s patented, 3 in 1, single nozzle that performs cleansing front and rear washes as well as a powerful enema wash. On the other hand, the GB-5000 includes dual nozzles for it’s front and rear wash cycles. Aside from their stylistic differences, these nozzles are also made of different materials. The GB-5000 nozzles are made of aluminum, while the BB-2000 nozzle is comprised of stainless steel. Stainless steel is considered a superior material for bidet seat nozzles due to its bacteria and germ resistant properties.

Water Flow

When choosing your bidet seat, it is helpful to be aware of the rate of water flow and how it can affect your wash cycle. In general, a higher rate of water flow indicates a stronger water flow and consequently, a faster, more effective wash. While the GB-5000 has a very respectable flow rate of 0.25 gallons per minute, the BB-2000 has a higher rate of 0.32 gallons per minute. The higher water flow rate can be beneficial for those who struggle with bowel or urinary incontinence since it can quickly and efficiently clean up after accidents. Furthermore, a higher rate of water flow is also worth considering if you are looking for a wash experience that is faster and a little more powerful.

Enema Wash

This is a must have feature if you or someone in your household suffers from constipation. The enema wash, which the BB-2000 comes equipped with, utilizes Bio Bidet’s patented vortex technology and sprays a powerful, circular stream of water into the rectum. This helps to stimulate bowel movements and provides relief from uncomfortable constipation. Unfortunately,  the GB-5000 does not include an enema wash feature.

Additional Details

Deodorizer

If you are concerned about unpleasant odors emanating from your bathroom, the deodorizer is a nice option to have on your bidet seat. The BB-2000 utilizes a powerful fan that pulls air through an active carbon filter and leaves your bathroom smelling fresh and clean. The GB-5000 does not include a deodorizer.

Child Mode

For those who have children who could benefit from using a bidet seat, the GB-5000 comes with a child mode function. This feature provides a gentler wash that is more appropriate for a young person and can be easily programmed via the remote control. The BB-2000 does not include a child mode feature.

Remote Controls

The BB-2000 comes with a standard size remote that can be handheld or mounted to the wall for convenience. This remote features a screen as well as push buttons to choose your desired options. The GB-5000 includes a larger, panel style remote that is easy to use and can also be mounted to the wall if desired.

Warranty Options

When it comes to extended coverage, the Bio Bidet company really stands out from the rest. For the BB-2000, Bio Bidet offers a standard, three year full warranty with the option to upgrade to a six year full warranty. In contrast, the Galaxy GB-5000 comes with a one year full that can be extended to three years.

Final Thoughts

While you really couldn’t go wrong with either the BB-2000 or GB-5000, the bidet seat you choose comes down to the finer details and ultimately the needs of your household. The BB-2000 does include a few more upgraded options, like stainless steel nozzles, the enema wash, as well as the water heater with unlimited warm water. However, the GB-5000 offers the convenient sittable lid, which may be a necessity depending on the configuration of your bathroom. Whichever you choose, rest assured that you will be upgrading your typical bathroom routine to a luxurious experience.
