Galaxy bidet seats are a happy middle of the road option. They offer a lot of great features, but lack a few as well. Because of the slightly lower price, they are still a great option for many.

5 point rating for the Galaxy GB-5000 and GB-4000 Bidet Seats
The quality of the Galaxy GB-5000 and GB-4000 bidet seats is good, but not quite at the level you’d see for a TOTO Washlet. They are still sturdy, and should last for many years. We give them a quality rating of 4.3 out of 5. The overall value rating is 4.0 even though it misses a few features, the price makes up for it, making it a great buy. While the Galaxy GB-5000 and GB-4000 bidet seats do offer a lot of good features, they miss some common ones like deodorizer, and aerated wash. We feel like these features are fairly important, so we gave the Galaxy GB-5000 and GB-4000 bidet seats a rating of 4.1 for features. The warranty offered is a full one year warranty, giving you additional peace of mind just in case.

Editor’s Galaxy GB-5000 and GB-4000 Bidet Seat Review
Galaxy bidets are new bidet on the market as of May 2014. This seat is created and manufactured by one of the largest manufacturers in the market today, with over 20 years of experience in the industry. With all of this prior experience, the Galaxy bidets are able to improve on areas where prior models have fallen short. The Galaxy line of bidet seats is one of the most high tech on the market to date, and is available at a lower price than some others with less features. This, along with the high quality build of the seat makes it a great buy for anyone.
This bidet seat comes in two models. The Galaxy GB-5000 comes with a large wireless remote that’s easy to read, as well as a mini side panel control for quick use, and the Galaxy GB-4000 offers a side panel control system. Other than these differences, the bidets are the same. Due to this, in the description below these different model numbers may be used interchangeably. Both of these models can be purchased on this page, depending on preference. Please note that the Galaxy GB-4000 is a slightly cheaper seat, due to lower cost it making the side panel control.
The Galaxy Bidet GB-5000 is packed full of great features. It shouldn’t be a surprise that the Galaxy Bidet GB-5000 offers both frontal and rear washes. However, unlike many of it’s competitors, the Galaxy Bidet GB-5000 offers both of these washes using only one nozzle. This nozzle is chrome plated, and completes both wash options efficiently with a newly designed nozzle head. Offering both front and rear wash settings is very common on bidets currently on the market. The Galaxy GB-5000 bidet however, takes this a step further than most other bidets, by offering the ability to adjust the exact position of the nozzle for each wash given. This allows the operator to get the nozzle position just right, instead of having to position themselves on the seat to get a proper clean. Surprisingly, this is a hard feature to find in most other bidet seats on the market today, even if you’re looking at a high end seat.
While either of the washes are in operation, the Galaxy GB-5000 bidet offers additional wash settings, giving the operator the ability to customize the wash further. The first of these wash settings is the massage setting. This setting causes the nozzle to move back and forth offering a wider wash surface. The second wash setting offered by the Galaxy GB-5000 bidet is the pulse setting. The pulse setting causes the nozzle to alternate between hard and soft washes. This happens multiple times a second, and can help to stimulate bowel movements.
It’s no surprise that the Galaxy GB-5000 bidet seat offers the ability to adjust the wash heat and wash pressure. However, the water heating system used by the Galaxy GB-5000 is state of the art, and offers all the pros possible on a hot water heating system without the cons. Many bidets on the market today offer either a hot water tank heating system, where hot water is stored for the next wash, or an instant water heating system where water is heated on demand. Both of these systems have their pros and cons. The hot water tank system allows for a consistent warm water stream, but the amount of warm water is limited. While the instant warm water system doesn’t have a limit to the amount of warm water it provides, because it’s heating water on the fly, often the water temperature provided for the wash can fluctuate. In the past, customers have had to pick the lesser of two evils. The Galaxy GB-5000 bidet seat offers a hybrid heating system, allowing you to get the very best of both worlds. This system uses an instant water heating system, which fills a small reservoir that acts as a heated water tank. Because the Galaxy GB-5000 has a heated water tank, it’s able to offer steady and consistent temperature wash, and because it’s got an instant water heating system filling the tank, it can provide unlimited warm water. Truly the best of both worlds without any of the down sides. This alone makes it a great seat to consider purchasing.
There are many other luxury features offered by the Galaxy GB-5000 bidet toilet seat. The heated seat offered on the Galaxy GB-5000 bidet is adjustable to the operators liking. Not only is this a great feature in the colder winter months, but it’s also a great way to help stimulate bowel movements. This heated seat also has a built in safety sensor. This sensor can detect if the seat is occupied or not. With this feature, the Galaxy GB-5000 can opt not to turn on if no one is seated on the bidet. This is particularly helpful when you have guests over, and they try to turn the bidet on before they are seated, or they get up before the wash is done. In either of these cases, the Galaxy GB-5000 picks up on the fact that no one is sitting on the seat, and the wash automatically turns off, saving you a major clean up project. One of the main concerns voiced about the safety sensor is how it handles children. It is true that often children are too light to cause the sensor to activate. For this reason, the Galaxy GB-5000 offers a child mode, which disables the sensor when used by a child who’s too light to activate the sensor, making this concern a non-issue.
The Galaxy GB-5000 doesn’t just focus on being a luxurious bidet however. While the adjustable warm air dryer offered on the Galaxy GB-5000 does offer an additional luxurious touch, it also helps to make the Galaxy GB-5000 very eco-friendly. Toilet paper manufacturing is very bad for the environment. The warm air dryer offered by the Galaxy GB-5000 can significantly reduce the use of toilet paper, and may remove the need of toilet paper all together. This isn’t the only eco-friendly option offered by the Galaxy GB-5000. By it’s very design, the Galaxy GB-5000 is very energy efficient, but it doesn’t stop there. The Galaxy GB-5000 offers an additional energy saving mode, allowing the Galaxy GB-5000 to offer an even more energy efficient operation, making it the ultimate in eco-friendly bidet toilet seats.
While these are the main features offered by the Galaxy GB-5000, there are other features that should not be overlooked. The first of these additional features is the sittable lid. This may seem like a little thing, but it’s a very rare feature in bidet seats. Because of the shape of most bidet seats, making the lid sitable is nearly impossible. The Galaxy GB-5000 has found a way to offer this feature as an effort to offer additional, rare features that customers have been asking for since bidet seats were first created. If this has been a deal breaker for you in the past, maybe it’s time to reconsider.
Other features offered by the Galaxy GB-5000 is the anti-slam seat and lid. While this may not be a make or break feature, it’s a very nice feature especially if you have kids possibly using the toilet during the night. The Galaxy GB-5000 also offers a LED night light to help with those late night visits. The night light feature is one that is rare in other seats, but it does exist in a select few, the Galaxy GB-5000 being one of them.
In order to help make cleaning easy, the Galaxy GB-5000 offers a quick release option, allowing the bidet seat to be removed and re-attached with ease. This allows the toilet to be cleaned with very little effort.
The Galaxy GB-5000 is a very high quality product, and comes with a one year warranty giving additional peace of mind. Because the Galaxy bidets come in both round and elongated, they will fit almost any toilet seat. Below are the different models offered.
