Detailed Comparison of the Bio Bidet dib-850 Special Edition and Infinity Bidet XLC-3000 Bidet Seats.
If you are looking to reach new levels of personal hygiene, considering a bidet seat is an excellent step in the right direction. Below, we go through some of the differences and details between the Bio Bidet dib-850 and Infinity XLC-3000 bidet seats
Design
Both of these seats have classy and attractive designs that are sure to elevate your bathroom decor. If you prefer a more modern look, you will love the sleek and streamlined look of the dib-850. Additionally, the dib-850 brings something new to the table in terms of seat design.
The dib-850 has a specially curved and contoured seat that provides you with additional seat width as well as more support for your back. Because of its special 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. Both the XLC-3000 and dib-850 come in a classic white color and each can be bought for round and elongated style toilets.
Sittable Lid
Aside from offering an extremely comfortable seat, the dib-850 also offers a sittable lid that can generously hold up to 200 lbs. With most bidet seats, it is not possible to sit upon the lid because the seat’s mechanics and hardware are often stored in the back of the bidet. Important to note, the sittable lid could be an absolute necessity for your bathroom depending on configuration of your bathroom as well as your personal needs.
For those who have mobility related handicaps, the sittable lid adds a great deal of convenience. Additionally, 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 dib-850 with it’s sittable lid is a must have. 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
Nozzle Design
The dib-850 comes equipped with a stainless steel, 3 in 1 nozzle that utilizes three different spouts for performing this bidet’s front, rear and enema washes. On the other hand, the XLC-3000 seat includes a 2 in 1 aluminum nozzle for it’s two washes, front and rear. Aside from the enema wash function that the dib-850 offers, the biggest difference between these two nozzles is the material they are made of. In this case, stainless steel is a more desirable and hygienic material because of its germ and bacteria resistant properties. In addition to the above mentioned wash features, the nozzles on both of these seats are adjustable, self cleaning, and offer an oscillation function as well as a soothing pulse wash.
While it will probably not be necessary for you to have to replace the nozzles during the life of the seat, it should be noted that the nozzles on the dib-850 are easy to replace, but the nozzles on the XLC-3000 are not.
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. In this case, the dib-850 and XLC-3000 have very similar and respectable water flow rates. Typically, a 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.
Enema Wash
This is a must have feature if you or someone in your household suffers from frequent constipation. The enema wash, which the dib-850 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 Infinity XLC-3000 does not include an enema wash feature.
Wide Spray
This is a great additional wash feature that the dib-850 offers. The wide spray provides you with more water coverage and is a beneficial option for those who struggle with incontinence issues, or for those who simply are looking for a more thorough clean. The wide spray can also help you get clean and on your way a little faster than the standard wash.
Other 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 dib-850 utilizes a powerful fan that pulls air through an active carbon filter and leaves your bathroom smelling fresh and clean. The XLC-3000 does not include a deodorizer.
Child Mode
For those who have children who could benefit from using a bidet seat, the XLC-3000 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 “child” icon on the right side of the XLC-3000’s remote. The dib-850 does not include a child mode feature.
LED Night Light
For those who often make night time visits to the bathroom, a night light is a great feature to have. The dib-850 includes a convenient, integrated LED illumination feature that lights up the bowl with a soft blue glow, so you can easily find your way around the bathroom without turning on a harsh light.
One Button Wash & Dry
Those looking for the convenience and ease of an automatic wash and dry at the touch of a button will love the one button wash & dry that the dib-850 offers. This feature allows you to skip over the programming and multiple options for a simple wash and dry option. The one button wash & dry is also known to be a must have feature for those of a elderly age who will be using the seat and may be intimidated by numerous programming options.
Warranty Options
Both Bio Bidet and Infinity offer three year full warranties for the dib-850 and XLC-3000, however, Bio Bidet gives you the option to upgrade to a six year full warranty for additional coverage. If you would like extra insurance for your investments, Bio Bidet is a great company to work with.
Final Thoughts
Through this comparison, we can see that the Bio Bidet dib-850 offers a few more wash options and features than the Infinity XLC-3000, like wide spray, enema wash, a sittable lid, a deodorizer, LED night light and auto wash & dry. Also, the estimated lifespan of the dib-850 is a bit higher than that of the XLC-3000. That being said, the XLC-3000 is a well built seat with quality wash functions, a child mode, and it comes in at a more affordable price point. Whether you are inclined to choose one seat over the other will rely on your personal needs and preferences. If you are shopping on a budget and just desire the basics, the XLC-3000 is nice option. On the other hand, if you require more from the bidet seat and you are looking for a more luxurious experience, the dib-850 is one of the best on the market.
