Does having this bidet installed negatively affect the function of a "soft-close" toilet seat lid?

My toilet seat is lifted by atleast 3 inches, if I tighten all the screws. I have to leave the screws loose to have it some place to relax if someone sits on the seat. If I tighten the screws to its max, it makes a cracking sound and I fear it will break. I'm not sure if I can treat it differently.

Yes, yes it does depending on the soft close lid. I had to buy a new toilet seat cover as the previous lid, the lip on it did not clear the edge of the bidet unit so it was constantly at a ~35 degree angle and there was a good 2 inch gap at the end of the toilet seat from the toilet seat to the toilet itself.

No it doesn't, it is installed under the seat,and u could adjusted right or left to control water flow.

I'm assuming a "washlet" is a toilet seat. If so, yes, I believe that's a correct one. The soft close is a must.

Both the lid, and the toilet seat, are "slow close". The little potty seat in the middle is not, but if you push it up it magnetically attaches to the lid (which is "slow close")

All toilet seats are held in place by friction resulting from being bolted down. A seat will tend to shift off center when one or both the hold-down bolts are not tight enough. Therefore, there's no toilet that will not shift if not properly tightened down. The Bemis has a well designed hinge mechanism if only they would include a comprehensive instruction sheet with it.

Yes. Mine was. I believe most Toto toilets come with a soft close seat. Great toilet!

Not at all. The design is such the toilet tissue stays on ,with no problems.

We have two of these toilet seats (one upstairs and one on our main level). Unfortunately one pops off frequently and the other gives us no trouble. I don't imagine we use them all that differently, so it's just probably a "luck of the draw" type of thing.

I don't really know as my toilet seat is going strong. The company was very good to work with when my seat got shipped to the wrong address (not their fault or mine, it was the carrier). Great customer support! Great company in my personal experience!

i guess an elongated toilet seat is the kind that closes slowly . all i know is that i had to take my toilet seat off, and tape it to the top of this high toilet seat. it wouldn't fit on top without doing this. if yours is the same distance apart as mine, probably not. wish i could help more.

I would not recommend tightening the nuts until they snap off. I have installed dozens of these and get them to wrench tight and that is it. Then the toilet seat can be removed if need be.

You can, but I would think it might be harmful to the mechanism. Part of what I like about it is that it closes very gently, which will definitely extend the life of the toilet seat. There's nothing worse than having it slam down when it slips out of your hand. That never happens with this model. Plus, it is wood and very sturdy. My plumber told me he could get another like it for my guest bath, but the one he found is plastic and very flimsy.

I've not had a problem with any toilet. I use it when in public places. It has grips on the bottom that keep it in place on all size of toilets.

This seat is used on a toilet in a utility room that my husband uses when he is working outside so esthetics isn't a big consideration. He used a small thin piece of ridged rubber molding that he happened to have in his workshop. He cut a piece that fit between the bolts and the toilet bowl. He used it only on one side and it was enough to keep the toilet seat from moving. I think the fact that the piece is rubber also helps because it doesn't slide against the smooth porcelain bowl. This solution really keeps the seat in place very well.

I agree with answer 1. Probably also depends on size, shape of individual using bidet. If a personis overweight, I imagine it also affects usage of regular toilet with or without bidet.

I noticed that I have to adjust how I sit on the toilet seat in order to get precision with the water jet. I agree with Hawaiian Eye reviewer about the "needle" comment (if it hits a "sensitive" spot, WATCH OUT! *ouch*). If I move forward on the seat a little, the spray is very concentrated, however if I sit back more, it kind of sprays all over. You have to move around a bit on the toilet seat to find the best "spot" and get the best cleaning effectiveness. Overall I would recommend this bidet.

Seems to be a tough answer as the actual toilet the unit is attached to is likely completely different. Ours works and is positioned just fine.
