Detailed Comparison of the Bio Bidet dib-850 Special Edition and Bio Bidet USPA 6800 Bidet Seats
If you are considering adding a bidet seat to your bathroom routine, chances are you have come across the Bio Bidet brand. The USPA 6800 and dib-850 are two of Bio Bidet’s more popular seat models designed to elevate your bathroom experience. Below, we sort through the differences between these seats for your consideration.
Design
These two seats are crafted with quality materials by the reputable Bio Bidet company. However, the dib-850 is a step ahead of the competition when it comes to design. The dib-850 allows the user to sit in a more natural position and is considered one of the most comfortable seats on the market today thanks to its specially curved and contoured design which offers greater seat width and increased back support. Both the USPA 6800 and dib-850 come in a classic white color and each can be bought for round and elongated style toilets.
Wash
Nozzles
The Bio Bidet dib-850 comes equipped with a single, 3-in-1 stainless steel nozzle. This means that there is one wand with 3 spouts, one for each of the three main wash functions: front, rear, and enema. Alternatively, the Bio Bidet USPA 6800 come with dual nozzles made of plastic, with one wand and nozzle dedicated to the front wash and the other wand and nozzle designated for the rear wash. It is worth noting that stainless steel is generally considered to be the better and more hygienic choice for nozzle materials due to its germ repelling properties.
In addition to the main washes that these seats offer, the nozzles on the dib-850 and USPA 6800 are self cleaning, adjustable and provide soothing options like wide spray, pulse wash and an oscillating water stream.
Water Flow
When choosing your bidet seat, it is helpful to be aware of the water flow rate and how this can affect your cleansing experience. In general, a higher flow indicates stronger water pressure and consequently, a faster, more effective wash. While the Bio Bidet dib-850 has a very respectable flow rate of 0.16 gallons per minute, the Bio Bidet USPA 6800 has a flow rate of 0.26 gallons per minute. The USPA’s higher water flow rate can be beneficial for those who struggle with bowel or urinary incontinence since it can quickly and efficiently help clean up after accidents. Furthermore, a higher water flow rate is also worth considering if you are looking for a wash experience that’s a bit more powerful.
Enema Wash
As mentioned above, one of the great wash options offered by the Bio Bidet dib-850’s 3-in-1 nozzle is the enema wash function. This special wash utilizes Bio Bidet’s patented vortex stream technology that works by spraying a powerful, circular stream of water into the rectum, which helps to loosen stool. This is a great option for anyone who is prone to constipation.
Comfort & Convenience
Sittable Lid
Depending on the design and configuration of your bathroom, as well as your personal needs, a sittable lid could be a must-have feature on your bidet seat. Because mechanics and hardware are often stored in the back of the bidet, most bidet lids on the market cannot accommodate the weight of an adult. However, the Bio Bidet dib-850 is rather unique in that it has a sittable lid that can safely support up to 200 lbs. For anyone who has mobility limitation, the sittable lid adds a great deal of convenience. Additionally, if you have a household member that requires assistance to bathe and your bathroom set up requires you to sit on the toilet lid to assist them, or if you’re accustomed to sitting on the toilet lid to perform tasks like clipping or painting toenails, the dib-850 is a great choice for its sittable lid.
Water Heater
The Bio Bidet USPA 6800 comes equipped with a tank style water heater that will produce about 60 seconds of warm water before needing to refill and reheat. It then takes around 3 to 5 minutes for the refilling process to take place, during which time it will use cool water for washing. Alternatively, the Bio Bidet dib-850 includes the more desirable instant water heater, which supplies unlimited warm water on demand. This is nice option to have if you don’t want to worry about hurrying through your wash cycle or if you have a lot of people in your household that will be using the seat.
Child Mode
Those with children who could benefit from using a bidet seat may want to consider the Bio Bidet USPA 6800 because it 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 “kids” icon on the USPA 6800’s remote control.
LED Night Light
A night light is a great feature to have for anyone who is prone to making nighttime restroom trips. The Bio Bidet dib-850 includes a convenient, integrated LED illumination feature that produces a soft blue glow so you can easily find your way around the bathroom without turning on a harsh overhead light.
User Presets
Presets are an excellent option to have if you will be sharing your bidet seat with another household member. User presets provide the ability to pre-program your favorite wash settings into the control panel so the bidet seat performs your personal wash options at the touch of a button. The Bio Bidet dib-850 is equipped with this convenient feature and allows you to program presets for up to two users.
Remote Controls
Both the Bio Bidet dib-850 and Bio Bidet USPA 6800 come with standard size remotes that can be handheld or mounted to the wall depending on your preference. The USPA 6800 remote clearly presents its options via icon buttons and displays your chosen preferences on a screen. On the other hand, the dib-850 comes with a sleek and intuitive remote with flat, touchscreen style buttons.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Bio Bidet dib-850 offers more comfort and convenience options than the Bio Bidet USPA 6800, though these extra features do come with a higher price tag. If you are looking for a seat that will fit a wide variety of needs and provides premium features like an instant water heater, LED nightlight and stainless steel nozzles, the dib-850 is great choice. In addition, its sittable lid, enema wash and user presets make the dib-850 a game changer, especially for those with special needs in the bathroom.
Even though the Bio Bidet USPA 6800 lacks some of the features found on the dib-850, it is nevertheless a well made seat that provides quality wash options. If you are searching for a less expensive seat with standard options, the USPA 6800 may be just what you are looking for.
