Electronic bidet seat — buyer's guide
This guide helps you compare bidet seats: how an electronic model differs from a manual one, what installation requires and what to check before you buy. We have supplied bidet seats for over fifteen years to welfare regions, aid centres, healthcare companies and private customers.
What is an electronic bidet seat?
An electronic bidet seat — also called a washlet or bidet toilet seat — takes the place of the lid on your existing toilet. It cleanses with a warm water spray and finishes with a warm air dryer, so you use little or no toilet paper.
In practice it is a controlled wash and dry system: water temperature, spray pressure and air temperature are set in advance, and the wash starts from a remote, a wall button or a foot switch. The settings sit under the lid so they are not pressed by accident.
The product goes by many names — electronic bidet seat, bidet seat, washlet, bidet toilet seat, smart toilet seat. They all mean the same thing, and the comparison points in this guide apply to every one of them.
Electronic or manual bidet seat?
Bidet seats come in two types. They look alike, but the everyday experience and the price differ clearly.
Manual bidet (no electricity)
Cleanses with mains water pressure: turn the lever and the nozzle opens. No power needed.
- Cheap to buy and easy to try out.
- The water is not heated, so the wash is cold.
- No dryer — you still need paper to dry off.
- No adjustable programmes or temperatures.
Suits a summer cottage or temporary use, where there is no outlet and a cold water wash is enough.
Electronic bidet seat (washlet)
A powered seat that heats the wash water and the drying air and runs the wash from a remote.
- Warm water cleanses comfortably and the temperature is adjustable.
- Warm air dries after the wash — paper may not be needed at all.
- Programmable wash and dry cycles with one button, even with a foot switch.
- Works as an aid: armrests, spacer ring, hygiene shield and a separate control button are available.
Suits everyday independence, care and assisted-living use, and anyone who finds paper difficult to use.
If you want a warm wash and drying without paper, you need the electronic model. A manual bidet is a small, inexpensive trial but does not replace toilet paper.
How to compare models
Six points that decide how well a bidet seat works every day.
Wash and dry settings
Water temperature, spray pressure and air temperature must be adjustable per user, and the settings must stay saved.
Control method
Remote, wall or floor button, or a foot switch? The control method decides whether the person can use the seat independently.
Spray nozzle
The shape and spray pattern decide how effective the wash is. The new model cleanses better thanks to a redesigned spray nozzle.
Fit and measurements
The seat mounts on top of your existing toilet bowl. Check the mounting distance and the clearance in height.
Cleaning and spare parts
Ask how the nozzle and the seat are cleaned, whether the filter can be replaced and whether spare parts are available later.

Technical requirements — check before ordering
An electronic bidet seat installs without renovation. Check these four points in advance.
- Toilet bowl: the seat mounts on top of the existing bowl in place of the lid. It fits all standard toilet bowls directly or with a spacer ring.
- Water connection: cold water is connected with a T-valve to the supply line that runs to the toilet.
- Power: a grounded outlet near the toilet (cord 1.5 m). If there is no outlet, an electrician installs one.
- Space: the seat needs no extra space, and returning the toilet to its original state is easy.
Everything needed for installation is in the box. If anything is unclear, get in touch and we will go through the requirements before you order.

Common questions
Will a bidet seat fit my older toilet?
Yes. The seat mounts on top of your existing toilet bowl and fits all standard bowls directly or with a spacer ring.
Do I still need toilet paper?
Usually not. A warm water wash and warm air dry take care of cleaning, so paper use drops or disappears. You can of course still use the toilet the usual way.
Can the seat be passed on to the next user?
Yes, the Jasmin Care bidet seat can be transferred to another user, and returning the toilet to its original state is easy.
How is the price formed?
From the price of the seat plus the accessories you choose; delivery is included. All prices include 25.5 % VAT.
