- Can I install this bidet seat myself?
About 95% of our customers install this seat on their own in well under an hour. If you decide to hire help, you can often hire a handy person instead of a plumber, and thus get less expensive help, but these seats are designed to be installed without professional help.
Answer by : Daniel Johnson on Sep 15, 2020 01:10:24 PM - Is there a battery powered version of this bidet?
Sadly this bidet does not have a battery operated version. This bidet requires too much power to realistically rely on a standard battery, as the electrical pull is too high. This bidet uses a standard 3 prong GFCI outlet.
Answer by : [email protected] on Mar 1, 2021 10:40:01 AM - What does this bidet seat come with? Do I need anything else for install?
This bidet seat comes with everything needed to install and operate the bidet seat on a normal toilet. If you have a skirted toilet and thus don't have access to the bottom side of the bolts that connect the toilet seat to the bowl, you may need additional hardware, which you can find below: Alternate T Connector Top-Mount Hardware Kit If you have hard water, you may also consider pairing your seat with an ion water filter. If you use a filter, you'll want to make sure to change it out every 6 to 9 months.

Although the Bio Bidet DIB-850 does a good job of washing and deodorizing, I can’t recommend it.
Its size and design are overbearing, more appropriate to a hospital room than a home. There’s a protracted delay between pushing the wash button and the spray starting. Setup functions on the remote are unintuitive; it needs an LED panel. Using it is easy though.
The positives are a good strong spray, a jet enema function they call Vortex Wash, and an effective deodorizer filter. I was able to customize the settings to my liking, but only by constantly referring to the manual.
A Toto Washlet S350e in a hotel room hooked me on the idea, and became my standard of comparison. But Bio Bidet’s price point and 3 year warranty and Toto’s sagging reliability sold me on the DIB-850. Now I’m regretting it.
I timed the delay from button press to spray at anywhere from 8 to 14 seconds, long enough to bug me on every use. Bio Bidet says this is normal and misleadingly calls it “several seconds.” I didn’t notice a delay with the Toto bidet and owners report a more reasonable 3 second response.
The DIB-850 is huge, out of scale for a home bathroom. It looks more like a medical appliance than a normal toilet. The open lid is 50% higher than the original lid. The seat overlaps past the edges of the bowl, and when lifted stands up 3 1/2″ in front of the lid, blocking part of the bowl. In contrast, the Toto Washlet is smaller and looks just like a normal toilet seat.
I ran into an installation problem. Bio Bidet now uses a water connection at the 7/8” toilet tank fitting, but hadn’t changed the manual showing the old connection at the 1/2″ water supply valve. I wasted three frustrating hours before figuring it out. Now that you know, it’s not a drawback for the product, but it doesn’t build much confidence in the organization.
If I had to do it over again I’d spring for the Toto.

I previously had a BB800 for a long time, so I somewhat am comparing to that. I thought about getting a BB1000 or BB2000 also.
I got the DIB SE because the reviews said it had a comfortable seat, plus it had a tankless design and lots of features. I really like it; it would be perfect if it had the water power of the BB800. The BB800 had a strong spray and I had to dial it back a little bit. The DIB SE isn’t as strong, and I have it up to the strongest setting. If you don’t like a real strong spray, the DIB SE is great. I would prefer to have it to strong, with the ability to dial it back so there is a little margin at the top end; that’s my only complaint.
